Hemet Prosthetic & Orthotic Group

I’ve come in to see Shaun Kaufman on several occasions. He not only has taken care of my diabetic orthotic needs but he has also looked at my sister’s feet after she had a stroke and went paralyzed on one side of her body.
During my 20+ years of being type one diabetic I learned a few things: Don’t ever go to an office that doesn’t show you respect. They never will. I’ve been to offices where I wasn’t even treated like a human. You know the whole «You did this because your diabetes isn’t in sparkling control.» Or whatever other reason they have to be disrespectful. The fact remains, there really isn’t much help training diabetics out there. I have a recently diagnosed friend who was released from the hospital with no training whatsoever on carb counting (and they wonder why there is a problem).
So often, almost every medical office, we get that disrespecting. That «Oh she’s a bad diabetic» Which is utterly humiliating.
So during my visits with the orthotist/​prosthetist Shaun, I feel respected. Shaun has never made me feel defensive about my condition or my sister’s condition. He just wants to help make things better. My sister is developmentally disabled (on top of everything else) and Shaun is great working with her.
The orthotics really help. Shoes these days (especially cute flats) don’t have a lot of support. I love my orthotics because I can wear pretty much any flat shoe as long as the orthotic fits.
