    I am an over 50 recreational runner. Dr. Figler has been caring for me and treating my running injuries for nearly a decade. Although I only see him every couple of years, he remembers me and my past injuries and is very familiar with imaging that has been done in the treatments that were utilized and if they were effective. I travel from out of state to be under his care because there simply is no provider near me with that level of understanding, expertise or compassion. He keeps me doing the sport I love.
