I had the incredible good fortune to have encountered Dr. Rock Positano just when I wasn’t sure what hope I had ever to recover from the constant foot pain I was feeling. As a conductor, the feet are as involved as the hands, and standing well is crucial. Dr. Rock is one of the rare doctors whose deep knowledge and experience are immediately obvious, inspiring confidence, but who at the same time maintains a humble, warm and nurturing demeanor. And the bottom line is that his non-invasive treatment, of a condition that was too complicated for me to understand, was a total success. I think gratefully about what Dr. Rock did for me literally every day, when I walk and conduct pain-free.
