“Dr. Fu seemed very knowledgeable and thorough! She was able to clearly diagnose my plantar fasciitis and had multiple solutions to help solve it. She also gave me a clear expectation for healing time. This was a huge contrast from the podiatrist I had previously seen a few months back that didn’t take this seriously. So I felt heard and was given answers and solutions”
