Nathan Stickney, DPM

I have an excellent review about this Dr Stickney ...he put a quick painless end for a problem that I had for years with my toenails I really recommend him and the staff.. they are very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for made my visit smooth and easy.

He is outstanding! Enough said!

If you want to be treated with respect, and taken seriously, go see Dr. Stickney at FAANT!

I first came to Dr. Stickney because I had chronic foot pain that worsened severely after walking in a 5k. I am plus sized, not in very good shape, and I walk a lot all the time. Dr. Stickney and the staff at FAANT took my complaint seriously, and treated me with respect. That is hard to find at many doctor's offices these days, and harder still when you are overweight.

They took x-rays and found I was on the verge of a stress fracture - probably from doing a lot of walking in bad shoes. They didn't lecture me, they were just nice and supportive and told me if I wore a boot for 2 weeks, and iced it rigorously, I could avoid having an actual stress fracture. I did as told and healed up perfectly in 2 weeks!

Dr. Stickney suggested I get some orthotics and wear tennis shoes when walking far to prevent this happening again. He offered me two options, the cheaper store bought option or custom orthotics. I went with the custom orthotics and Dr. Stickney took the molds of my feet himself. I love my orthotics! I have had less lower back pain, no foot pain (that's a miracle) and less joint pain just from wearing them when I'm on my feet for a long time.

Recently, I fell down my deck stairs when they were slick from rain (wearing flip flops - I was only going out for a second), and I badly sprained my ankle. I went to the emergency room for initial treatment. However, I was having additional pain in my calf that was keeping me up at night, and not helped with pain medications. So I went back to FAANT. Dr. Stickney was able to easily identify the problem, and give me an easy solution - ibuprofen and ice my calf. The ER had only given me pain medicine (that wasn't helping the pain!), not anti-inflammatory medication. He also suggested physical therapy which I was very happy about, because past experience has taught me physical therapy helps tremendously.

I feel like Dr. Stickney and the staff at FAANT are on my side, and genuinely want to help me. They treat me with respect, and take me seriously. I've seen other foot and ankle specialists in the past and they did not treat me nearly as well. I can't imagine going anywhere else.
