What a sh-t seminar here in Buffalo. Best was Dr. Santi making up crap as he spoke, worried about backdoor certification boards, lying that maybe POD students can take USMLE step 1, this is a leader in Podiatry, and this is a reason no one is applying to POD schools. Same goes for current APMA president, she has no concept of the real world, perfect placeholder in the APMA.

The expression: “Podiatry eats its young” was well known years ago. Things changed over the decades. Many left or quit. A few stuck around shalooping and swiping Danish from banquet tables at pod rallies (isn’t that what these meetings are called?) where they wear their secret fez and chant bunion bunion wee wee wee, hail to the royal podia-tree…for a fee. The older pods spin a young pod into some associateship, make dough, and boot em, get another sucker, and on and on. No private practice, debt, banks say: “A what?

“Dry scaly skin can indicate thyroid problems”. Yeah, podiatrists can’t treat that either unless you are podiatrist Langone, who treats osteoporosis with Ca+ supplements.

The National podiatry boards is not a rigged clinical exam. My guess is there are experience d podiatrists that never took or passed the National podiatry boards.

One has to pay money to take this test. My personal opinions

Florida does not discriminate against older experienced podiatrists who because of their older age did not have access to residency training.

The National Podiatry boards should not be required at all for a license but most states require this. My guess is they were kept out for not taking and or passing the National boards.

I’m getting pretty sick of the jokes and degradation of the podiatry trade. The DEGRADATION has been EARNED, however, because serious academics have become secondary to how much money you make, what fake titles you have (I’m “rear foot”), or what POLITICAL title you hold. (I’m president of my foot dr group). Add to that, DAILY SHOE PICTURES FROM PERVERT BARRY BLOCK or believing that a couple degrees of added plastic to a shoe insert actually does something, and you make podiatry a JOKE. Fraud coupled with minimal medical knowledge and MAXIMUM EGO makes podiatry a laughingstock too. Furthermore, add… Read more »
Telling someone at the supper table that youre an Oh doctor is akin to farting on a first date.
What a sh-t seminar here in Buffalo. Best was Dr. Santi making up crap as he spoke, worried about backdoor certification boards, lying that maybe POD students can take USMLE step 1, this is a leader in Podiatry, and this is a reason no one is applying to POD schools. Same goes for current APMA president, she has no concept of the real world, perfect placeholder in the APMA.
The expression: “Podiatry eats its young” was well known years ago. Things changed over the decades. Many left or quit. A few stuck around shalooping and swiping Danish from banquet tables at pod rallies (isn’t that what these meetings are called?) where they wear their secret fez and chant bunion bunion wee wee wee, hail to the royal podia-tree…for a fee. The older pods spin a young pod into some associateship, make dough, and boot em, get another sucker, and on and on. No private practice, debt, banks say: “A what? DPM=no…What kind of schmo is a lifer? It’s understandable… Read more »
Who took all the tea bags and danish? Who’s wolfing down all the pineapple chunks? Ooh, the Oh doctors
Try hard to not have to tell anyone “what kind” of a “provider” (don’t say dr!) you are! Otherwise you’ll get that look of astonishment, a pause and then the OH!! Soon after they’ll either say, that’s nice and/or leave.
Hence, why E coined the phrase— oh doctors. Oh….
They have a certain affinity for Florida.
Robert–be proud to walk alone and sit alone. F em. Those that walk alone have the most focused determination and cogent reasonings. You have more integrity and honor in your pinky toe than those thiefs, conartists, and shysters in buttfckalo
I appreciate that.
Thanks Robert! You keep saying truth…
What a stupid dirty unscientific field biomechquactics is and no wonder it’s one of the reasons MD’s look upon us as SHADY SALESMEN. While Mr. Root is selling his father’s orthotic ideas and saying we weren’t meant to walk of earth we have Shavelson selling foot typing and Ivar Roth lauding MASS THEORY OF Mr. Glaser. Biomechquactics is so screwed up and UNSCIENTIFIC that Roth told his son (in podiatry school, where else?) to “THROW AWAY ALL HE WAS TAUGHT IN PODIATRY SCHOOL”. Well, now. that speaks volumes AGAINST THE LIFERS’, “WE KNOW BIOMECHQUATICS” AND THAT’S WHAT MAKES US UNIQUES… Read more »
“Dry scaly skin can indicate thyroid problems”. Yeah, podiatrists can’t treat that either unless you are podiatrist Langone, who treats osteoporosis with Ca+ supplements. Maybe she could tell them to take more IODIZED SALT to cure their thyroid thus curing their dry feet! A simple LOCAL education produces simple local NON DOCTORAL mentation.
Think how an MD’s ASSISTANT would approach the problem vs. a wtf. Are there “dry skin” orthotics?
Profiles in Elderly Non-Practicing Podupetrists: Make $ off of NOT doing podiatry.
“Here’s what happens when you mix clogs with pumps. They’re called Klumps!”
Klumps: Podiatrically DOCTORAL like a Community college diploma is to a Harvard degree. Thanks Barry Block. Did you get a good laugh at the field you dropped out of and ENRICH YOURSELF FROM?
Curious if the shyster will move to Florida like so many of them.
Shavelson’s SELLING his Foot typing, Root’s defending his father (and his own arch support business) De Caro is selling something called E foot typing for kids, Barry Block has pictures of Klog shoes. Mr. Root says “HUMANS WEREN’T DESIGNED TO WALK ON A MAN MADE SURFACE. So the Messiah messed up. Thank G for Mr. Roots daddy. He invented ORTHOTICS THAT ARE MEANT TO HELP YOU WALK ON EARTH.

Podiatry needs to catch up ( maybe ketchup?). In next ten years nurse practitioners will grow by 46 percent and physicians assistants 21percent.,,
and they have a full license and are backed by CMS…..
How typical of the podiatric Fraud. Dyed hair and eyebrow 70+ yr old Shavelson moves to Florida and STARTS A BUSINESS. He just can’t stop accumulating dollar bills. As is typical of the insecure he SELF ADULATES. He was Valdectorian, got a residency, million dollar house etc.. Got to show your street creds so you get admiration in the dining hall of your Florida home. Of course, he calls himself a SURGEON but, like most podiatrists, he has a story of why he became a NON MD. He says he was a GIFTED ATHLETE but was BORN WITH ONE LEG… Read more »

Hope he drives safely too.
And does not crash into another car and die like Earl Horowitz.
Boots was still hu$tling at 87 years. Then crashed. Couldv’e killed others on the road. Why was he allowed to still drive? Why did his family/friends not intervene. 87years old?!
Why did they still let him run his foot business??!!!
If anybody needs MORE PROOF that there is a DIRTY GREEDY CORRUPT BUSINESS FACTION in podiatry I offer Dennis Shavelson as my evidence. After personally telling me about his one million dollar house (and that was years ago when a million was a million), his fees of $800-$1,000 for the supports he sold, and now admitting HE WANTS MORE (MORE!) INCOME STREAMS NOW THAT HE DID WHAT MANY New YAWK City podiatrists do, (move to Florida). To me this is a con job. He says he GUARANTEES (GUARANTEES!) HOLISTIC (wtf does that “gab” mean?!!)

Sorry Robert, Most dumb people never get it. They continue on the wrong track and double down on stupid. They dig their heels in and are obturate towards facts, truths, and realities.
Roberto- respectfully, why the bleep would you even engage this guy? He’s a schmuck. Or did he come up to you bragging about a million dollar house and selling overpriced plastic drek? Who does that unless they’re enormously insecure.
I’m trying to expose him more than engage him.
OK–makes sense. Expose these rotten pods. Money was their God. It’s a sickness w/them. Even as elderly people, they cannot help themselves—always trying to get another buck, May stem from a shitty upbringing, dysfunctional, inferiority complexes, the hustler /consumeristic mentalities.
Another insult to podiatry. The state of NY has declared a polio emergency. Pharmacists, emergency personnel, and MIDWIVES ( yes you read that correctly ) have been authorized to begin polio vaccinations. Why not podiatrists ? Easy answer. Shuffle off to Buffalo and check out the speakers. Fat slob drooling buffoon Larry Boy Santi. Scam artist, politician loser Lee Rogers. The mumbling ovary storming half senile APMA President. That’s the reason. DaniPro nail polish anyone ?
“mumbling ovary storming half senile APMA President”–what the f is wrong with her? Was gap tooth failed polly rodgers giving another political speech about nuclear plants while wearing scrubs?
A graduate of NYU and the prestigious New York College of Podiatric Medicine, is a board certified podiatrist and surgeon who has been practicing in New York City for over 30 years. Following extensive surgical training, he began his private practice. specializes in all aspects of podiatry including: podiatric medicine, corrective foot surgery, and sports medicine. is a pioneer in treating nail fungus and has been featured on Good Morning America and other news programs.
What a joke, nail polish. The NYCPM is an even bigger joke.
Nice copy for a liberal paper but WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. Prestigious? Slum school in Harlem. Surgeon? Limited licensed NY foot and need a special license to touch the ankle. Extensive sx training? Yeah, tell that to an MD/DO surgeon and watch them laugh. Ever remove a stomach on your own Mr. Noctor? Private practice means BUSINESS. Since when has Good Morning America had any credibility in science or medicine? Save it for Barry Block the MISLEADER IN CHIEF.
Since when is good morning a “news” program? Thought it was propaganda like 97.9% of MSM
Maybe they can sue for scope ….again .And loose again or have another pyrrhic victory that they shall exalt as “progress” through the propagandists and the podiatry “news”
YES, SUING FOR SCOPE INSTEAD OF STUDYING FOR SCOPE is analogous to walking down a blind alley, reaching the wall yet continuing to march forward instead of doing an about face and taking a different path.. Education, NOT SUITS, are the only honorable and ACCEPTED way to join the mainstream club. But the podiatry leadership is known for taking the expedient way instead of the proper way. Podiatri politics makes podiatry a dirty profession. Your support of the APMA AND YOUR LOCAL STATE SOCIETY ENSURES MEDIOCRITY WILL BE THE “m” in dpM.
Those aforementioned podo politicians eschew the embarrassing questions like WHY CAN’T WE? They’re too busy courting high school students who can be conned easily.
And middle students too. ‘You too can be a docta’…after getting some fellatio, and/or cunninlingus, get some Cs and B-s from Oogah boogah state u, the sign up for foot stool. makes sure to wear a lab coat and look serious – it helps with the psy ops
If podiatrist steals vaccine does that count? Like in New York?!!??
The Covid Thief was sashaying and strutting on the stage at the recent Buffalo seminar and was given an honored mention as a former president of the NEW YAWK FOOT FAKERS SOCIETY. Funny how the lifers that ran the seminar had no problem being around him and giving him a role whereas I, a challenger to the system, was ostracized and sat alone at a table with some reps. You can see what side lifers are on. Crookedness and “getting away with it” seem to be what’s ADMIRED in a dirty profession.

Thanks Robert, I am sure they mentioned like Dr. Miclos M. D. That “the truth is inconclusive. A growing body of evidence suggests no health benefit.It’s possible calcium triggers blood clots and depositing in arterial walls”.We should stick to proven therapy like orthotics…,
The truth is only INCONCLUSIVE when it doesn’t fit the lifer’s narratives. “We’re Doctors” one “past president” told me. I said, check your state laws and consult with your carrier as to how much of a “dr” you are Mr. P.. That statement labeles me as a “hater”!
The laws (reality) certainly extraordinarily limit dp wtfs and doing doctoring.

Florida is wonderful. You can call yourself a podiatric physician, treat the ankle, people in Florida that need help.
Florida is another crooked dirty cult. Sure, they want you to take a GENERAL ANATOMY TEST?! I’d like to see your average pod pass general anatomy after a few years in business, plus take some rigged clinical exam. Unless you have a CULTISH “IN”, YOU’RE OUT. Make sure you contact the right crooks to grease the skids. They don’t really want outsiders in, otherwise they wouldn’t rig the entry.

Beautifully stated R.
“You practice being a foot tech for years and it’s not good enough.”
Okay so there are exams one has to pass. What is a cultish in?
IF YOU DON’T KNOW, THEN YOU’RE NOT IN THE CULT.
Personal opinions only-the barriers that are put up in FL (extra anatomy exams, clinical tests, political greasing, etc..etc..) are there to RESTRICT people (the window dressing is pt “safety” and other propaganda blather) from working there.
Floridian podlietrists restricting others to help their own businesses. Restrain trade, boost profits from the ‘established’ DP WTFS.
What a “great” field. The penis shaped state ready to screw you. What say you Silly Shoe Dan?
The National podiatry boards is not a rigged clinical exam. My guess is there are experience d podiatrists that never took or passed the National podiatry boards. It is unfair for any state to mandate that any podiatrist with more than 10 years experience practicing in another state, take and pass such an exam to get licensed. One has to pay money to take this test.
My personal opinions
Unfair? Podiatry? What rock have you’ve been living under. Grandfathering into boards. Cultists helping cultists get into the state a “little easier”. Come on. Podiatry is well known for favoritism. It’s as fair as Biden’s overwhelming election!
You can call yourself Napolean too. Just don’t let MD’s hear you
He can’t practice where they require a residency. He’s stuck. Maybe he can open up a GOOD FEET STORE”.
Florida allows for 10 years of experience in practice to be accepted in lieu of residency training yet one must also pass Board exams.
Florida and other states accept experience in practice in lieu of residency and passing exams.
Florida is a wonderful place to live and practice.
Florida as well as other states sometimes accept 10 years experience in practice in lieu of residency training. However in some states one has to pass certain board exams even if they are residency trained.
Florida does not discriminate against older experienced podiatrists who because of their older age did not have access to residency training. I got licensed in Florida because they are fair regarding following federal law which prohibits age discrimination.
Florida is a friendly fair state to practice.
Great news Daniel abt getting licensed in Florida. Now it’s time to move! Time is of the essence at your advanced age amigo. Brush up on Spanish and get a nice white suit, white shoes (not silly ones), and a big cigar and say-cha cha cha!
You can’t leave soon enough for my taste. Go on down and work up to the inguinal ligament till the cow’s (or attorney’s) come home. You can read some books and carpet bag your dematoscope. Just don’t get too close to close to one of those cigar smoking ex patriot New Yawk city pods. You may wake up to find an ALLIGATOR HEAD in your bed. Podiatry is BUSINESS. It’s always BUSINESS NOT PERSONAL.

Sorry. Send me the cleaning bill.
LOL….in that infomercial video above–interview “Johnny Tobacco” looks like a New Yaaakker meme, complete with a badly aging DMP ready for yet another hustle.
You’re trying to “butte up” your buddies aren’t you Mr. Chaskin? Friendly state? Yeah, ask all the guys who were kept out because they weren’t in the “party”. How come Fl can have such liberal leg laws when so many just came down from NEW YAWK where you can’t touch a wart on the ankle? Somethings fishy. Of course, something is always fishy in podiatric politics. Which reminds me. We had a podiatrist FISH MAN up here and he moved to Florida.
The National Podiatry boards should not be required at all for a license but most states require this. My guess is they were kept out for not taking and or passing the National boards.
Why must any experienced podiatrist be required to take any National podiatry board exam? These exams cost money.
Of course, these are my opinions.
So, Mr. Chaskin is against the NATIONAL BOARD EXAM. Why Mr. Chaskin. It seems you have trouble qualifying for so much.
Daniel, please look into Robert’s sage advice. The Good Feet Store may be a franchise for you to get some buy in. At your age, time is of the essence. If you still need to work, then These may be potential opportunities for you to have a ‘instant soup’ style business that’s plug and play ready to sell items to customers in need of footy things, foot straps, plastic stuff, and supporting arches.

Why should patient’s have to pay money if I can place felt in their shoes to dramatically alter their gait. As far as offloading I can use a drill from Home Depot and fabricate an excavation in the shoe. The best part of this is the patient does not have to pay for this since it is part of the visit. Happy patient means they will recommend you so long as you help alleviate their pain.
You’re one of the few Daniel that appear to have ethics and morals. Mench. A lot of Dp wtfs could learn about actually trying to help folks, not see them as dollar signs, like Shalshitstain
If Mr. Chaskin had ethics and morals. he wouldn’t be playing Dermatoscopists trying to sell an affectation to his customers that he’s “just like” a doctor. Mr. Chaskin is looking for ATTENTION and RELEVANCY. Stick to the Home Depot drill.
Robert, I never tell my patients I am a doctor with an unlimited license. When you question my ethics and morals I begin to question your credibility. Being negative all the time uses up so much energy. As a friend and brother, the next time you see a friend or relative, why not ask them what makes you happy? For example Dr Traum is happy when he listens to my music. He will be happier if I write a song what makes you happy? Take a break from thinking about podiatry. Robert as a friend and brother, why not ask… Read more »
Misleading uses up more energy Mr. Chaskin. Trying to convince people that the National Board isn’t necessary, different state licensing isn’t fair. Not allowing you to touch the ankle isn’t fair. Not getting a residency isn’t fair. Not being allowed to move to certain states because you didn’t qualify for a residency isn’t fair. Not getting shoe picture stress relief isn’t fair Phew! Listing all your failures does take a lot of energy!
Thank goodness for silly shoe pic ‘stress relief’ (ahem) during these very “stressful” times. Wanker foot klub
Oh? What’s the code for using a HOME DEPOT DRILL AND EX CAVATING A SHOE? Are you a licensed PEDORTHITS? What are you a podiatrist or a SHOE REPAIR MAN. Oh, wait, not much difference to the biomechquacticians. Sears has some GRINDERS ON SALE TOO MR. CHASKIN.
Podiatry involves shoe modifications which are not billable yet help some patients.
Real Doctors don’t fix shoes. C. Peds, shoemakers and podiatrists like you do.
The National podiatry boards is not a rigged clinical exam. My guess is there are experience d podiatrists that never took or passed the National podiatry boards. It is unfair for any state to mandate that any podiatrist with more than 10 years experience practicing in another state, take and pass such an exam to get licensed. One has to pay money to take this test. What makes you happy brother and friend?
My personal opinions
Its September 2022 and yesterday I had my 4th call from a graduated “reconstructive foot and ankle surgeon” He wanted to know if there was an opportunity for an associateship. The 4 that called since June 30 , 2022 have NOTHING ! no job. Sad that APMA and the Pod schools mislead about job opportunities. Interesting point…none want to open their own office because they have heard from other DPMS its bad out there…..no kidding. Reality hits hard. It is a shame.
Naw! I’m not going to let Barry Block’s quackery go unchallenged. You can’t “play dr” and act all righteous and be high and mighty that you’re “just like” when the following is an example of what your trade really is. Let’s start with Podiatrist Kashan. Joining in with the desperate screaming podiatrists against the Good Feet Store Kashan says “they’re TAKING THE BUSINESS AWAY FROM US”!

He appreciates my music.
Do enjoy Daniel’s fictional podiatry music. It’s authentic. It sometimes appears silly, yet it’s heart felt. Also, the instrumentation shows some talent.
If possible, is there a place where the other songs-Where is dorsiflexion versions 1 and 2, and fungus toenail -could be found?
Thank you.
Traum I will repost them and let you know when the are up again.
Thank you–please do, and let me know. Congrats on your Japanese following.
You’re talking music I’m talking medicine. I don’t care if you get a sex change and marry Traum. I only care to make podiatry and podiatrists rise to the level of an MD. ( or at least his p.ASSISTANT)
Pod post is more than about Podiatry. It includes topics such as music. Perhaps one day Seth might decide to add music to his website.
Music makes many people happy. Life is short and happiness is what life is all about. Please remember it is so important to ask our friends, and family “what makes you happy”? Robert, when is the last time you saw a family member, friend, or anyone and asked them What makes you happy? Please have a wonderful day.
Disclaimer: the above are personal opnions only
Hey Mr. Chaskin, Who said the PODIATRY POST is more than about podiatry, you? You have no standing and the post was not
established as a venue FOR YOUR MUSIC. It’s the PODIATRY post not the MUSIC post. Your statements and conclusions continue to demonstrate a defect in logical thinking, but I suspect this is the most attention you’ve received in a long time.
My guess is Seth does care about music and happiness. If not he would have removed my comments or emailed me requesting me to cease and desist. Robert, please consider asking 3 people a day what makes you happy?
After all life is short and it is so important to be happy.
The right reverend Rabbi Chaskin reads from the Talmud about ones requirements to be a good mensch. 3X a day Rabbi Chaskin? What if I only ask 2 people a day what makes them happy? What happens then?
