I had an appointment today…..everyone in the office were extremely friendly and helpful. The doctors and nurses explained in detail all of my treatment options. I am very confident that my outcome will be very beneficial immediately, and will allow me to continue to stay active playing tennis and keeping up my exercise routine. I highly recommend Dr Aziz’s services and staff for your foot and ankle problems.

I went here because I had an awful ingrown toenail on my left big toe and they made everything a breeze! The staff here is wonderful; they explain everything for you and make sure youre well taken care of. Im in the process of healing and I couldnt have asked for a more precise and clean procedure in no time at all. Would definitely recommend and Ill be returning if I need to in the future!

I am blown away by the excellent experience I have had in this office and under the care of this incredible doctor and her medical team. Dr. Aziz is extremely knowledgable with a wealth of experience. My father had extreme issues with his feet and most people can barely even look at them without gagging. She was wonderful with him and had a really great sense of humor to match his and she came up with an excellent game plan for getting his feet in better shape. She has been very helpful with my own foot health as well. I have been to 3 specialists in two years for my feet and she is the first person to give me any confidence that she can help make me well. I highly recommend this medical group!

I brought my son here because he had a growth plate causing his heels hurting which frustrate him because it limit him in playing soccer. Dr Salma was really great with my son, he was nervous at first but she made him really comfortable. She took her time to treat my son feet, look at his feet and eventually he need a hand mold insert to prevent any injury in the future. I cant thank you enough, my son are really happy and you make it a good experience for him! Now he is free from hurt and he was happy that he finally can play soccer strong!

Saw Dr Aziz for my daughters foot issue. Dr Aziz explained the mechanics of the foot in a way I understood and was very thorough. She took her time and treated us great!! I would highly recommend her.

Dr Aziz has been my Foot Dr for 18 years. She is an amazing Doctor, has a kind and caring manner and is an outstanding Surgeon.She has helped me with a surgical issue that other Doctors couldnt.Dr. Aziz even corrected my Daughters flat feet when she was a child. My Daughter is now 25 years old and has been able to wear any shoe heel she wants.I highly recommend Dr Aziz to anyone needing treatment or surgery for their feet.

Thank god I found Dr. Aziz. I first met Dr. Aziz after a sparring injury a couple of years ago. Following an MRI to confirm that I had torn two ligaments in my ankle, Dr. Aziz discussed different options including PRP (platelet-rich plasma), Stem cells etc. Dr. Aziz is amazing, she is a big believer in using the best available technology to help the body heal itself as opposed to invasive surgeries and I love her for that. She was not rushed at all and took the time to explain each option. I ended up getting one treatment of PRP. I really liked the PRP option because it only involved taking a draw of my own blood, separating out the best parts of my blood and re-injecting into the injured area. It worked amazingly. Three weeks after PRP I was training and doing ring work again.I recently went back to Dr. Aziz for a separate injury after partially tearing a sesamoid ligament and marrow edema by my big toe. I received PRP treatment again and Im back to training after just under two weeks, this time. Dr. Aziz is the best. Dr. Aziz uses the Zimmer Biomet PRP kit which is the same quality used for treating elite athletes in the NFL, NBA and combat sports.

Had my first consultation with Dr Aziz today.I was really impressed by everything and everyone. The staff are fantastic and have a great sense of humor as well as being thoroughly professional at what they do. (Especially the girl in the elf hat, she was awesome!) A very pleasant Drs office indeed. My problem was xrayed, examined and diagnosed very well and we had a solution before I left the office. I look forward to seeing all the staff again, as I move ahead with my treatment. You will be doing yourself a great favor going to this office. 👌🏽🦶🏼🦶🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have to say sometimes reviews meet jack but I checked out Dr. Aziz reviews before I went along with others and the reviews are spot on, Dr. Aziz is so knowledgeable and does not BS you, she makes sure you get the best treatment and explains everything to you. I have a tear in my Achilles Tendon and she gave me 3 options for it I took the least evasive which was PRP and after 2 weeks my tendon is healed not completely but so much better that she referred me to PT. Also worked on my toe Fungus (not something to admit to having lol) but she said to try the laser treatment which is very reasonably priced and she makes sure you to 5-6 treatments over the year- this instead of harmful cheap alternative Lamasil.

I love Dr. Aziz. She is a wonderful doctor that gives you enough time to discuss all your questions and is willing to answer them all and more. She is personable, professional, kind and compassionate. She gets you in to see her as soon as possible and really looks after your best interest. She covers all her bases to give me the best care possible with my injured toe and foot. I too am in the medical field and I wish there were more doctors like her.

Review №16

Only one thing works, laser treatment over a long period of time combined with a topical solution. This process can take up to one or two years.There is NO quick fix with vinegar, garlic or anything else. Laser treatments every other month. Been doing laser with Dr. Aziz for over a year and one half, had all ten toes infected, because I waited too long. They are now beginning to grow back. 1-4 laser treatments WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE. Need long term laser with a topical. Dont do QUICK fix treatments, you will never get rid off it and you will lose all your nails.

Review №17

Dr Aziz is a very caring compassionate doctor. I went to Dr Aziz for a toenail fungus. My regular doctor recommended kerasil which didn’t work. After a year of getting frustrated, I read another persons yelp describing my exact problem and they were recommending Dr Aziz. I saw she had all 5’s on her yelp reviews so I made an appointment. Once I met Dr Aziz I knew I was in the right place. I feel like I’ve known her all my life. She treats her patients as if they were family. She gave me a few options and I chose the laser treatment plus a prescribed topical medicine. The medicine is alcohol based so I can keep nail polish on during the treatment. That was huge since I didn’t want the fungus to be seen. Dr Aziz said it would take 6 laser treatments but after only 4 the fungus is gone!!! I’m still going back for the final treatments. Dr Aziz is very thorough and committed to giving quality care...no short cuts. I appreciate how caring she is. I wish she was my primary care doctor . Thank you Dr. Aziz you make going to the doctor easy!!! Sherrie

Dr. A has taken care of me and my son Jonny, for various foot ailments, over the past 4 years. If there were more stars available, she would deserve each and every one. Aside from her tremendous skill as a physician and surgeon, her loving demeanor and infinite patience have resulted in our lifelong loyalty to her. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a wonderful podiatrist.

Review №19

First and foremost its hard to say where to start. So Ill start with the making of the appointment. Her front office staff Trisha is especially nice and friendly. It was very easy to get the appointment scheduled without having to wait months. Upon arrival the staff was very pleasant and accommodating.Next I got put in the room and I was asked a few questions before the doctor saw me.Once the doctor came in the room her demeanor was very pleasant, warm and welcoming. Dr Aziz listened to everything I said. Then she made her diagnosis. She spends as much time as she needs to discuss the procedure and cause. Within minutes of talking with her, I felt like she completely understood what wasgoing on, was not dismissive, was very accommodating, very sympathetic, and very knowledgeable.I was able to schedule the procedure fairly quickly. Trisha did a great job of pre authorizing through my insurance and they also will give you the procedure code should you need them?I went in for the procedure and she spent quite a bit of time explaining every step of what she was doing and the precautions that I should take and the care I should manage.The follow-up visit was just as much fun. She is such a hoot. If you dont laugh, you have no funny bone.The office does a great job of submitting this to insurance. I might remind all those out there that a doctor does not have to submit through your insurance on your behalf. It is your responsibility. It is a benefit and luxury that they do that for you.At the end of the day, I would highly recommend her to anyone who has any issues with your feet. You cant find a more knowledgeable happier and accommodating doctor then Dr. Aziz! #SoulSister

Great experience.Dr. Aziz explained the options at the beginning, and the treatment was as she explained. The laser procedures were done as explained at the original assessment. Started in September 2016, last session was in June. I just had the follow up (4 month after last session) and no fungus on the nail. The laser treatment is a bit painful, but it is very short and I was in control of how strong it got. Also no side effects as opposed to the pills. I am very happy with my decision.Gabriela

I wish I had found Dr. Aziz before I had surgery on my ankle. But that was back in Connecticut 4 years ago. I am grateful that I found Dr. Aziz now, as she changed my life. I had a debridiment surgery in the left talonavicular joint, and, in addition, my left leg is shorter from the old hip injury. I had difficulty walking any long distance. And recently, even a short walk started to cause so much pain that I would avoid walking. Dr. Aziz suggested making special shoe inserts for me to adjust for changes in my foot due to ankle surgery and the difference in left and right sides. Dr. Aziz explained that it could take time to get used to these inserts, as my foot and leg were in a different position for a long time. And, yes, initially, it was quite uncomfortable to walk with these inserts. it took several weeks to correct the misalignements formed over the years. However, after several weeks I could walk long distances with these inserts without any pain. As a matter of fact, I went to a hiking trip to Portugal and was able to walk 10-15 miles every day for over 2 weeks! The result of the treatment by Dr. Aziz is just short of a miracle. Thank you so much to Dr. Aziz! What an amazing transformation, I could enjoy an active life again!

Review №25

We love Dr. Aziz! She has been treating my daughter for more than 2 years for all her foot and ankle injuries due being a competitive gymnast. She used PRP 2 years ago to heal a ligament tear and that saved my daughters season and we used it again this week for a severe ankle sprain with the goal of competing in January again. She also used PRP on my father who tore a ligament in his foot which an orthopedic surgeon misdiagnosed. The PRP allowed him back on the golf course within 2 weeks with saved everyone in our family from his grumpiness. I am a registered nurse and have a history in sports medicine and I believe PRP is allowing my family to heal quicker and stronger.

I dont even know where to begin with how amazing this doctor is. She changed my life forever. She gave me the chance to live my life to the fullest again....the pride she takes in her work and the love that she has for her patients shines through time and time again. She has an amazing aura full of positive energy and she makes me feel so comfortable and happy. Shes incredibly knowledgeable and always answers any questions. I seriously called almost everyday for two weeks because Im a worry wart and had a million questions, but I never felt once like I was bothering them. They are so patient and answer all of your questions. I cant believe that a doctor as honest and amazing as her still exists. Dr Aziz, I can never thank you enough for fixing me. She removed so much extra bone, due to a huge fracture, and attached a completely dettachted ligament. Thats amazing!!! Love her forever!

Ive been seeing Dr Aziz for nearly 3 years for various issues with my feet. During this time she has made me feel like family. She always ask me how Im doing and she sincerely wants to know. It doesnt matter if its my feet or my personal issues; she takes the time and listens to what I have to say. My feet are much better thanks to Dr. Aziz. Ive never met a Doctor who is so loyal and genuine. Shes lovely!

Dr. Aziz is THE BEST! She is extremely caring, funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have been under her care for more than 6 years and she has performed 5 surgeries on my feet. Each time she worked with me and offered multiple treatments and alternatives to surgery, but was with me the entire time, once I decided to take the final step. I can not recommend her enough!

Dr. Aziz is the third podiatrist I’ve seen for plantar fibroma and for only positive reasons, will definitely be the last. Her staff is extremely competent, friendly and helpful. After only one appointment with Dr. Aziz I realized that she is by far the most knowledgeable, personable and caring doctor I could have asked for. She took more than enough time to explain my condition to me in detail as well as the treatment plan she would implement for me, all while making sure I understood everything throughout. She told me right away that she would absolutely not do surgery for my condition because of the high level of risk involved, which I very much appreciated for more than one reason. Other than her high level of education, expertise and experience, If you’re looking for a podiatrist that will treat you as more than just another number, I would highly recommend Dr. Aziz!

Im updating my review from a year and a half ago. Dr. Aziz is kind and compassionate which I so appreciate with my ongoing foot issues! She is professional as well as knowledgeable, patient and funny. She spends time getting to know patients individually and answering questions.Having said that, my issue is with the billing and how long it takes to be reimbursed by the office. It isnt an issue with my insurance as Ihave records they paid the office soon after my appointment ordering orthotics. After waiting over 2 months to be reimbursed, I finally contacted the office. I was told the check could be picked up and amount I was receiving was less than what my insurance said I should be receiving. When I asked at the front desk about it told there was a small balance on my account but they didnt know what it was for. They said they would check with billing and get back to me.Still waiting to hear. Taking off a star because of this recent experience.

Dr. Aziz is knowledgeable and helpful. She explains everything thats going on in ways that make sense. I received an injection of Plasma Rich Platelets to help heal an ankle tendon injury, and it sped up the process and allowed me to get back to my normal activities a lot sooner than I would have thought possible. Im skeptical by nature, but the PRP process was a real help and I recommend it whole-heartedly.

I am preparing to have bunion surgery next and had pre-op appointment yesterday. I feel comfortable and at ease about what to expect for surgery as well as the healing process. Dr. Aziz is more than a knowledgable foot doctor. She has a wonderful, zany personality that instantly puts a patient at ease and make you feel at home in her office. Her staff is competent and as warm and welcoming as Dr. Aziz.I am grateful to have been referred to her by my daughter who recently had her foot surgery with Dr. Aziz in December.

I had tried to get my 18yr old son to the Dr. to get his ingrown toenails taken care of for yrs. Finally he agreed to go to a consultation. I had heard very good things about Dr. Aziz from several pple. When we went to the apt with Dr. Aziz, I couldnt believe how receptive my son was to what she had to say. She can really communicate with any age. (I was amazed at how positive my teenage son was about the procedure) She explained everything to him and made sure he understood all it would entail. Since he will be going away to college soon, she got him to have all 4 ingrown toenails removed faster then I could have imagined! The procedure required a few visits, and each time my son left with a smile on his face. He really trusted her, and she didnt disappoint. She had incredible bedside manner both with my teenage son and to me. I couldnt have been happier!I now have my husband seeing her for his foot pain.I would highly recommend her to anyone who has any foot problems. She is passionate and extremely educated in her field. Dr Aziz is very, sympathetic and helpful, while still being professional.She is that special-ONE OF A KIND Dr. in her profession.

Review №66

I could not be more thankful to have been referred to Dr. Aziz when I broke my ankle. She was actually the second doctor I saw after my fracture and I can say she will be the only one I see should I, or anyone in my family, ever experience a break again.What I loved about Dr. Aziz is that she actually spent time with me. My first doctor, who I saw twice before switching to Dr. Aziz, spend a total of 10 minutes with me. Not only was I just put in a cast, but I was also placed in a walking boot and told to start putting pressure on my ankle, when my break wasnt even aligned for healing! I was told the night I fractured it in the ER that I would most likely need surgery (something I reiterated to my first doctor) and sure enough, after lots of pain from being placed in the walking boot, my husband made an appointment with Dr. Aziz and she confirmed surgery was needed.My first appointment with Dr. Aziz was like seeing an old friend, she took the time to get to know me, my husband and our entire situation while reviewing my x-rays and recommending a course of action for the proper healing of my fracture. My two experiences couldnt have been more night and day. Finding a doctor that truly cares for her patients has completely changed my experience. Every place I went from her front office (her staff is just awesome), to the pre-operative physical doctor, to the surgery center, I was told Youre in good hands. Dr. Aziz is just great, and I couldnt agree more. I have never felt like I have been cared for better!
