"Orthotic Pearls"

This is another in the series of “Mini-Gems”, taken from the extensive DME and IOD writings by the late Rich Levin, DPM.   Thanks to Dr. Ornstein for making them available for us to share with you.

Logo: Many labs now offer the ability to print a customized logo on the top covers of the orthotics you order. At first I thought this was a silly idea, as I did not want my patients stepping on my name and phone number in their shoes. I did not realize the power of the satisfied patient! Many of the patients that come to my office, referred by previous patients, have told me that they first saw my name and phone number when the other person took off their shoe to show them their orthotics. I would urge each of you to speak with the orthotic lab that you are currently using to add a simple imprint of your name and telephone number to the top covers of your orthotics.
