Orthotic Options Worth Comparing
This list is for readers comparing orthotic options. It prints the sixth through tenth offices in our ranking of foot and ankle practices around Schaumburg, Illinois. Offices ranked above sixth or below tenth are not printed here.
Two published pages are worth opening before you call anyone. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons runs OrthoInfo, which has an OrthoInfo page on orthotics. Foot Health Facts, from the ACFAS, has its own Foot Health Facts page on orthotics.

Questions for each office
Weil Foot & Ankle Institute. It has a 4.9 rating across 276 reviews, the largest review pool in this stretch. Ask who prescribes and fits orthotics and how many visits that takes.
Faraz Haque, DPM, FACFAS. A 4.9 rating across 40 reviews sits behind this listing. The ascension.org provider directory lists Faraz I. Haque, DPM, as a reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgeon. Ask whether orthotics are handled in the same office or referred out.
Midwest Foot and Ankle Clinics. Midwest shows a 4.9 rating across 34 reviews. Ask what an orthotic assessment involves at the first visit.
Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists. Its 4.8 rating across 135 reviews rests on the second-largest review pool here. Ask how the office chooses between options and how it checks the fit afterward.
Sutpal Singh, DPM. The score is a 4.8 rating across 24 reviews, the smallest review pool of the five. Ask what you would be expected to bring to a first appointment.
If waiting feels wrong
A ranking cannot tell you whether your problem can wait. Say how long it has hurt and whether it is getting worse when you book. Then ask whether the office could see you sooner. A clear answer to that question tells you something about how the office runs.
Choosing among these five
The scores here are nearly identical, so the score alone will not decide it. Review pools range widely, from the largest at the top to the smallest at the bottom. Your own questions matter more. Call two offices, ask each who prescribes the orthotic and how fit is checked, and compare how plainly they answer.
