Kevin F. Sunshein, DPM

I have had feet issues for several years now. In the last five years I’ve had severe pain in my left foot on the top along with swelling not knowing why there was the swelling or why there was so much pain to my knowledge I had not injured that foot. I had gone to a couple of different Podiatrist before finding Dr. Sunshein, their method of trying to help with the pain was to do Cortizone shots, which only last anywhere from 24 hours to 48, and did not resolve the issue at all. As the issue progressed and the pain increased I was at my wits end a friend of mine from work told me about his podiatrist Dr Sunshein. So I made an appointment with him as we talked about the issues I have been experiencing, he suggested a laser treatment that they offer. Explaining to me how the procedure worked, how it would help with the inflammation and the arthritis in that foot. I had nothing to lose and hopefully everything to gain. Was he ever right. As I started my laser treatments within 24 hours. The pain had decreased from 100% to at least 50. Each treatment helped the pain decrease more and more after 12 treatments. the pain has almost completely gone. I am so grateful that Dr Sunshein has this option. It beats having surgery, it beats being in pain every day. I would highly recommend to anyone who is at their wits end to go to Dr. Sunshein talk to him, he will listen and he will give you the best advice. The laser treatment worked for me I am excited to see where else they might go with it. Thank you again, Dr Sunshein and your incredible staff, Rachel and her amazing colleagues also Melissa for all the help with my many schedule changes. Dr. Sunshein and his staff are one of a kind. I highly recommend you give them the opportunity to show what they can do. They have given me hope again. With retirement right around the corner, the decrease in the pain I have had over the last several years, I look forward to the my retirement future and where my feet will take me.

I would give zero stars if it were an option. AVOID THIS PLACE! After visiting to discuss achilles pain in my foot, this guy wanted to completely reconstruct my foot leaving me with permanent limited mobility! I used the Mercy Health group in Cincinnati who discovered a heel spur, and shaved it down. I am healing nicely with all mobility. This guy is a joke. He offered all kinds of laser treatment for pain which did nothing at all and was not covered by insurance. His staff, during a treatment asked me to write a positive review since they were getting many negative ones. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This place is only interested in money.

I had consulted with three other doctors about my foot problem before consulting with Dr. Kevin Sunshein earlier this year (2020). I incurred an overuse trail running injury in 2019 that caused my ankle to roll inward, and the pain and discomfort eventually became un-manageable. The first doctor I saw immobilized my foot in a plaster cast for several weeks, which did not solve the problem. The second doctor I saw prescribed a walking cast for several weeks, which did not solve the problem. The third doctor I saw recommended surgical intervention, after which I would spend at least two months in a non-weight bearing cast, which did not sound appealing to me. So, I decided to consult with one more doctor before making a final decision. I went to see Dr. Kevin Sunshein at the suggestion of a colleague who highly recommended him. After the initial exam and x-rays, he recommended I try custom made orthotics before considering any kind of surgical intervention. I agreed to try them, but I have to admit, my expectations were pretty low. To my surprise, I was pain free on the first day I wore the biomechanical orthotics and was able to go without the elastic ankle brace I’d been wearing for a year. Months later, I am still pain free while wearing the orthotics, still not wearing the ankle brace, and no longer need to take OTC pain killers on a daily basis. The custom orthotics have way exceeded my expectations and I am very grateful to Dr. Sunshein for recommending them.
