Dr. Boramee Douk, MD

She’s nice but 7 years ago she prescribed me a boot when I was having issues with my Achilles. She thought spending time of my foot might help. After being in the boot for 6 weeks, the muscle in my leg deteriorated severely and the Achilles issue was still there so I was referred to a PT anyway. I spent 3 years rehabbing my leg (basically my leg began to hyper extend so I had to strengthen my knee and my calf to support the Achilles issue which was figured out by my second PT). So many of my doctor friends wonder why she put me in a boot. Why couldn’t she just acknowledge the pain, give me some exercises, after it continued, pass me over to a PT instead of assigning me a boot without even an X-ray? My physicals were fine but like ever since that, I didn’t really trust her choices and learned to advocate for myself more.
