🌟James is Back Doing What He Loves! 🌟

James has been on an incredible journey with our Neuropathy & Pain Program! He was the very first patient to witness the arrival of our SpineMED table, and his excitement matched ours. With his neuropathy and back pain worsening, James was determined to be one of the first to try this new technology—and we’re so glad he did!

After just 13 treatment sessions, James is sharing his amazing progress: he’s back to playing golf, exercising in the pool, riding his motorcycle, and enjoying improved balance. Seeing his life turn around is why we do what we do! 💛

👏 Way to go, James! Your dedication is inspiring.

💛 Leading with Heart 💛

I, Darice LeBeau, Practice Administrator at St. Augustine Foot, Ankle & Vein, came across this post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14MUx8jmKhM/?mibextid=wwXIfr
and couldn’t agree more. Leadership isn’t just about results — it’s about people. At St. Augustine Foot, Ankle & Vein (and our Neuropathy & Healing Center), I am very passionate about leading with heart and genuine care because I truly care about our team’s well-being.

I’ve worked in environments with both inspiring and toxic managers, and I remember what it feels like when your voice isn’t valued, every mistake feels magnified, your talents go unrecognized, and you leave the office feeling unnoticed, drained, defeated, or even ashamed. Experiencing that firsthand showed me just how profoundly a manager’s approach can impact an employee’s mental health, motivation, success, and overall happiness. It also drives me on a regular basis to improve my leadership skills to strive to be a better manager every day for my team.

Because of that, I lead completely differently — with empathy, an open mind, respect, empowerment, and encouragement. I strive to create a safe, supportive workplace where our employees feel heard, empowered, and valued every single day. I take the time to listen to what our team members are going through in their personal lives and not only offer a listening, empathetic ear but also provide coaching, resources, and support wherever I can. Their well-being outside the office is just as important to me as their success within it.

As leaders, we know that kindness, understanding, patience, and respect goes a long way in creating the foundation for a thriving workplace. We’re so fortunate to have a team that uplifts one another and is always willing to go above and beyond — for our patients and for each other.

Team, you continually impress me with your dedication to improving both in the office and in your personal lives. You are the heart of everything we do here, and I am immensely grateful for each and every one of you! 💛

🎉 Office Fun Alert! 🎉

Sometimes you just need to let loose… and today, that meant an impromptu silly string battle broke out at the office this afternoon! 🤣

While we didn’t catch any videos of the sneaky attackers in action (they were way too fast!), let’s just say it was hysterical and the perfect midweek stress reliever. 💥

Here’s to laughter, teamwork, and a little bit of harmless chaos! 😆🌀💛

✨ Patient Success Spotlight: Tara’s Neuropathy Journey ✨

For years, Tara struggled with numbness and pain in her right foot. She visited multiple doctors — including orthopedics and neurologists — but no one could pinpoint the cause or bring her relief.

Then she found St. Augustine Neuropathy & Pain Center. 🙌

After completing her first round of laser treatments, Tara began to notice real improvement. Encouraged by her progress, she continued with a second round — and the results amazed her.

Today, Tara is completely free of pain and numbness! 💫
She shared her story with such heartfelt gratitude for finally finding answers and lasting relief through our neuropathy program.

We’re so proud of her journey and inspired by her results. 💙

✨ The Power of Seeing Change First-Hand ✨

On Friday, we welcomed a new patient who came to us because of his neighbor’s amazing transformation.

His neighbor had completed our neuropathy program and is now walking with ease — something that seemed impossible not long ago. The improvement was so remarkable, our new patient couldn’t help but ask his neighbor, “How did you do it?”

With a smile, our patient praised our neuropathy program and our team, sharing how much his life has improved and how grateful he is to have his independence back.

What struck us most is what he said next: “I wouldn’t have believed this kind of change was possible if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes — seeing my neighbor walking through the neighborhood again was all the proof I needed.”

We can post videos and share real patient stories all day, but there’s nothing quite like seeing someone you know go from struggling to thriving. That’s when hope becomes real. 💙

Now we get to help another person who was told nothing could be done about their neuropathy!

📞 If you or someone you love is struggling with neuropathy, call us at (904) 217-0542 to schedule a consultation and see what’s possible.

🌟 Meet Bill Johnson – Healing From Severe Wound & Neuropathy

Years ago, Bill Johnson was told he’d never walk again.

A life-threatening infection left him with severe leg damage, chronic pain, swelling, and wounds that refused to heal. For an avid outdoorsman who loved fishing, hunting, and tackling home projects, it felt like his world had come to a halt.

But everything began to change when Bill started laser treatments at St. Augustine Foot, Ankle & Vein. Now halfway through his treatment plan, the swelling is down, his wounds are healing, and — for the first time in years — he can wear shoes comfortably again.

“This office gave me hope when every other doctor told me I’d never live a normal life again. For that, I’m very grateful.” – Bill Johnson

We’re honored to be part of Bill’s healing journey. 💙

Let’s be honest — not every part of our day feels like a highlight reel. Whether it’s daunting projects, health challenges, or just dragging ourselves into gear when we’re tired or not feeling well… we all hit those “I really don’t want to do this” moments!

That’s where a little self-pep talk comes in.

I came across this video last night, and it made me laugh and tear up at the same time. This brave 5-year-old boy was psyching himself up before a blood draw. He wasn’t new to it — he was fighting leukemia. But his incredible coping skills helped him get through those tough moments, and today he’s in remission.

His honesty and determination kind of say it all!

Next time you find yourself staring down a difficult moment you’re just not feeling, channel a little of his energy. Pause. Give yourself a moment. Talk yourself through it. Then take it one step at a time.

We’re all figuring hard things out as we go — pep talks and all.

“I Had to Learn to Walk Again”

We are thrilled to share Tom’s inspiring neuropathy recovery story with you all.

After living with numb, uncomfortable feet for years, Tom felt like he was losing his independence. Driving long distances, enjoying a meal out, even simply walking had all become a daily struggle. But after completing our neuropathy program, everything changed.

Now Tom can walk with confidence, drive further without discomfort, and sit through dinner without constantly shifting his feet. He even says, “It’s like I had to learn to walk again because now I can feel my feet!”

His arthritis also improved!

Watch Tom’s powerful journey from frustration to freedom. 💪👣
