Dr. Wishnie, the employer of Dr Brad Schaffer, has misled his qualifications as ABFAS certified on his website, as did Dr. Brad Schieffer the star of “My Feet Are Killing Me”. They originally stated they were board certified. Note it only references Dr. Schieffers certification in forefoot. We can only assume this occurred via notification of ABFAS
Dr. Wishnie changed his website after receiving a certified letter from the ABFAS.
Dr. Wishnie initially lied on his website and stated he is:
Board Certified in Foot and Ankle Surgery by the ABFAS.
We have now discovered that Dr. Wishnie is certified in ABSOLUTELY NOTHING by the ABFAS.

Highly respected, by whom ? Bla bla bla bla but not certified in anything.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
The next question ………….. Is Dr. Wishnie mentoring and grooming Dr. Brad Schaeffer, his employee, to also lie about his credentials ?
Originally, Dr. Schaeffer was board certified in foot and ankle surgery by the ABFAS on their new website :
Now, after receiving a certified letter from the ABFAS, we learn Dr. Schaeffer is certified in foot surgery, ONLY, by the ABFAS.

Why would Rem Jackson’s right hand man, at Top Practices lie ?
Is Dr. Wishnie an unethical practice management consultant ?
Do we now have another Hal Ornstein in Peter Wishnie ?
THE FACTS SAY YES !
The “employer” of XYZ. Insert slaveholder, master, boss, overlord….nice. what a “life”.
One of the sure signs that a trade is mediocre is how the majority act. For decades and decades podiatrists have let Barry Block USE THEIR e-mails to sell “alleged numbers” to advertisers yet, as seen today, he offers very little. What do you get day after day? Copies of desperate podiatrists advertising. Whether its regulars like Cuna shilling SHOE WEAR or Kesselman advising how to make money SELLING PRODUCTS. False aggrandizement is routine also. “Top Docs”? Podiatrists? “Doc” is more of an affectionate term for the family GP than one who trims your toenails q 90 days. Look at… Read more »
The state of podiatry Aug 27,2021. The NEED to ADVERTISE a foot business is obvious and unchanged. If podiatrists didn’t advertise in various medias Barry Block would be out of business with nothing to copy. A few Examples. NAGHMEH KHAVANI has a portfolio type picture with the obligatory white coat leaving only the ANKLE SURGERY part readable as to, what the f, dpm means. Why don’t these PROUD PODIATRISTS just say. Miss smith, PODIATRIST or podiatry. Do Dentists say, upper jaw, lower jaw, rear jaw dental surgeons? No, just dentist or dentistry. The differentiation of ORAL surgery and FOOT surgery… Read more »
“…has a portfolio type picture with the obligatory white coat leaving only the ANKLE SURGERY part readable as to, what the f, dpm means. (ROBERT).” Careful Robert, you might get censored because you’re once again stating truth and reality. For some, that’s not “nice” bc that person is so “well liked” and a ‘good’ person etc.etc.. WTF
Why in the world would Dr. Peter Wishnie and Dr. Brad Schaeffer lie about their credentials. I don’t get it. It makes no sense.
Did they actually think they may not get caught ? Apparently yes.
Misleading credentials? Thats 95% of DPMs, from lower extremity surgeons to wound care specialists along with the 20 foot organizations and 11 board certifying bodies….all a joke
Those credentials are SERIOUS BUSINESS in podiatry. They mean money and control over YOU as well as making the “credentialers” a FEARED entity. Outside of podiatry they’re a curious, ambiguous, non serious attempt at imitation.
Gee! It’s been DAYS since there has been posting here and ‘Comments under moderation’ seem to languish. Is someone sick? Is someone losing interest? Is someone being “influenced” to keep the truth dribbling instead of gushing? “Was is Los hier”? Barry Block is ECSTATIC. He can show shoe pictures with impunity and make money through banning censoring and deceiving while SELLING THAT FALSE VIEW TO ADVERTISERS. The TENACITY OF THE DIRTY MEN IN PODIATRY IS TALIBAN LIKE. PODIATRY AND MONEY ARE LIKE A RELIGIOUS FERVOR. MAINTAIN “DA BIZNESS” @ ANY COST ($). I had hoped a crack was being made… Read more »
Podiatry is and was very American- a place dominated by hu$tlers and hucksters.
Shylock maybe infiltrated to retard truth telling. Can’t believe that imbecile is still working….wait, can believe it because he’s a shyster and money was his God.
The continuing APATHY of the podiatry trade allows for “easy pickn’s” for mister Block. With few impediments to how he accumulates his fortune he continues to rake in the money well into his 70’s. Block makes hay out of podiatry’s major weaknesses..insecurity, apathy, and envy for those who put money before medicine.
I can prove what I say is right. Can you prove what I say is wrong? I didn’t think so.
Look at these two narcopaths.
Look at them.
Now, if one has an IQ>75, one cannot reasonably take them seriously. They’re jokes dressed up as humans.
Every thing in podiatry shoe insert sales are “CUSTOM”. When everything is CUSTOM nothing is CUSTOM. $45 inserts or $150 inserts, it doesn’t matter. Most podiatrists are just SELLING A PRODUCT. So many pods I talk to don’t even measure anything. They slap plaster on the foot or step into a foam box and let the lab make “something”. Younger (more lazy) pods use their phone to “capture a picture”. Really? Aside from looking technological it’s the same ‘ol con job ARCH SUPPORT. Only the most zealous biomechquactic mechanics talk about “degrees and posting”. They BELIEVE they’re watching gait and… Read more »
There’s a DP WTF that just retired after 56 (FIFTY SIX) YEARS of doing podiatry. Let that sink in. 56 (FIFTY SIX) YEARS of pody land. So, if he ‘graduated’ dupe skool at @26 years old that makes this schmo–~82 years old when he “retired”. 82 years OLD still doing podiatry. Some “life”–it’s akin to paying your abuser. Podiatric Stockholm Syndrome. Greed, narcissism, hustling, or maybe a sad reality, he really needed the money. Maybe Boots can give some advice to him?
Hey Toe Legit :
Earl “Boots” Horowitz pass away at 87 years of age. He was still practicing.
He was doing c and c work and using his REMY laser. He was on his way home from work when he crashed into another car. Luckily he only took his own life. Obviously, at 87 years of age he was not fit to still see patients or drive his car. What say you Barrister Shylok ? Hey Barrister ……………Did you ever get certifried by BOOT’S SHAM BOARD, THE ABMSP ?
He did keep your drivers license….
82. Maybe shalooping helps forestall the inevitable spin off the mortal coil. Warren Buffet is stilling sipping Coca Cola and snacking on potato chips at 95. There’s no rhyme or reason, death comes in many ways and so far the human race hasn’t found a surefire way to elude it. We’re always shadowed by death. Sort of like the headlights of a car on a dark desolate road driving through the mountains in Central Mexico. The tribal folks claim it’s an omen which appears over your left shoulder, or sideview mirror. Always getting closer, but when it hits you .… Read more »
He’s ‘certified’ in BULLSHIT–typical US -ian asshat
Bullshit sells commercials to sell more bullshit—Maybe they’re the new Kardashians of the foot.
