Dr. Zappan treated me with painless laser treatments. My first time was my ankle issues and this time was my very painful Achilles tendon. After this treatment I was able to wear my heels the next day! The staff at the office was very friendly and the doctor was very knowledgeable and caring. I will definitely recommend him to my friends for any foot problems!
