WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY ABOUT US

2025 USATF MASTERS

This championship would never have been possible without the laser treatments for my calf.  From barely walking to a national championship in 10 days.
Thank you so much.

Amazing Results!!  When I arrived with a painful heel spur which made walking nearly impossible Dr. Makimaa and his incredible staff went to work utilizing laser therapy and other modern techniques.  Just 3 weeks later, I’m pain-free!  The entire staff is so friendly and professional–truly miracle workers!  They gave me my life back!

“Thank you Dr. Makimaa for your care and professional staff. Your diagnoses not only got me back on my feet pain-free, you helped me with a potential medical issue. You are the best! GO CONCHS!!”

“The Doc really knows his stuff! My legs are 100% better. As we used to say in baseball… Amateur night is over. Welcome to the “Bigs”

“Dr. Makimaa is the go-to foot doctor of the Florida Keys. Dr Makimaa has repaired me several times, but most noteworthy is readying me to qualify for the Boston Marathon at a time where my foot health was at an all-time low, I could hardly run at all and he helped me turn things around!”

“Dr. Brad Makimaa is the greatest! I have been seeing him for 14 years for various issues: Morton’s neuroma; plantar fasciitis with a fractured heel spur- left; great toe arthritis and a joint replacement surgery; 7 metatarsal fractures; partial rupture of the plantar fascia- right. He’s always patient, explains the issues and process well and if you follow instructions exactly you heal great! His staff is very professional but also friendly and caring.”

“Dr. Makimaa performed a bunionectomy on my right foot. The surgical result is excellent, and I had no post-operative pain due to his well-placed nerve blocks. Post-operative care was first rate. His entire staff is professional, well-organized, kind and caring.”

“I’ve been seeing Dr. Makimaa since 2013 for chronic foot pain. I’ve never waited longer than 5 minutes for my appointment and his staff is very professional and friendly. The surgery he recommended initially was done last December 2019. I wish I would have consented earlier as he has improved my quality of life immensely and reduced pain 100%. I will be having my other foot done as soon as I’m completely healed. Thanks again Dr. Brad!”

“I have been racing at a high level ever since my journey began with track in 3rd grade. From the heptathlon in college as a DI athlete to chasing after the Olympic Marathon standard as a Masters runner, Dr. Makimaa set my feet straight years ago with one glance. I’ve followed his advice to a tee on proper footwear, varying the surfaces of my run, and religiously wear my custom toe spacers. I run healthy and pain free to break many finish line tapes and records, making it possible to continue pursuing the sport I love, thanks to his advice and expertise!”
