Red Rocks Foot And Ankle Center

dr. saeed is seriously the best doctor that i have ever met. he is also the kindest and most knowledgeable human being in the world. dr. saeed has performed two foot surgeries on me and both have gone incredibly well… i wouldn’t trust my feet with anybody else! i get excited when somebody tells me that they are having foot issues because i can send them to dr. saeed and i know that he will take great care of them! he was working out of two offices but is now in just the littleton office (the address listed on this page is incorrect)…i much prefer the littleton office as healthmark was sometimes a bit overwhelming. at any rate, go see dr. saeed… you might have to wait a bit for your appointment but that is because he actually spends time with his patients… weird, huh?

If you’re looking up info on Dr. Saeed and whether or not you should see him… DO IT! He is a GREAT doctor!!! Dr. Saeed’s presence makes you very comfortable. He is so kind and considerate besides being very knowledgeable and skilled. Whatever procedure you have to get done don’t worry at all. you won’t feel a thing! Best doctor I’ve ever seen!

I’m an avid runner and active person in general and I’ve been having foot problems for about 4 years before finally finding Dr.Saeed.
I was diagnosed with a neuroma between my 3^rd and 4^th toes a few years ago by a doctor in California. He gave me an injection in that area and then made me orthotics. These two things helped very little. I struggled with the pain for a while until I moved to Denver and decided to try again.
That’s when I found doctor Saeed. He performed the shockwave on my foot, and it made a significant difference.
A year later I have no pain in that area, but developed a neuroma in a new spot. Thinking it was the same spot, I sought a second opinion from another doctor who ordered an MRI. This MRI proved that my pain was in a different spot than the first time, and also proved to me that my original neuroma was gone.
The second opinion doctor had no solution for me but to make me new orthotics and to give me a series of shots… again.
I returned to Dr. Saeed, and he treated my second neuroma. After three treatments I was able to run again, without pain or numbness in my toes or foot.
I cannot express enough how much respect I have for Dr. Saeed. Not only for his knowledge of shockwave therapy and his determination to make it more well known, but also for his personality and charisma as he works with his patients.

I first went to see Dr. Saeed for a hairline fracture of my ankle. He treated me with the shock wave therapy treatment and within a month I was back to my normal sport activities. This treatment prevented me from being in a boot for several weeks and later have to go to physical therapy.
As a result of my healing, my mother visited with Dr. Saeed. She had pain and numbing of her toes and metatarsal area for years. She also tried the shock wave therapy treatment, and she is very happy with the results as she did not need to use orthotics.
Thank you Dr. Saeed!

Dr. Hani Saeed is truly one of the most visionary doctors I have ever met. I have met too many text book doctors – uncaring and egotistical. Dr. Saeed listens intently to your symptoms and concerns – then logically can piece solutions together for your particular needs. I went to him with a condition 99 percent of orthopedic surgeons know nothing about. I went to over twenty who told me to give up. The pain was so severe. Dr. Saeed recommended EPTA and I became a functioning person again. He took a hopeless situation and gave me faith – all because he is not only a skillful and insightful doctor, but an extremely compassionate one.

Last summer I overdid running up a hill and got plantar fasceitis. I was limping for a couple of months before I went to see Dr. Saeed. He told me he could inject me with cortisone or try shock wave therapy. I had 4 treatments but the pain persisted. Dr. Saeed told me «yes it will get a little better gradually, then you’ll turn around and it will be gone» and lo and behold, albeit 6 months from the time of the treatment, I no longer have pain in my heel!
It’s nice to work with a doctor who has such exuberance for his work and who will use a therapy because it is effective and helps people. My insurance didn’t cover the procedure, but Dr. Saeed makes it fairly affordable. Plus he’s really fun to talk to.
BTW I did not have any discomfort with the procedure, in fact it felt pretty good. Now I need it on my knees, my elbows…

Dr. Saheed was incredible! I have been to multiple doctors regarding a hurt foot and he was the only one who was truly able to determine the root cause of the problem. I always thought the problem was on the top of my foot (I kept getting stress fractures), and he was able to determine that it actually came from ligaments and tendons on the bottom of my foot. I did the EPAT procedure he recommended and was able to continue running and training for my half marathon in a matter of weeks! This is the first time in years I have been able to run pain free!

Dr. Saeed went above and beyond for my son. My son had pervasive plantar warts. Dr. Saeed saw him in multiple offices and worked out a surgical solution that really began the solution. I stayed with my son during his procedure and Dr. Saeed took the time to explain to me what was happening and was more than glad to answer all my questions and make me feel included.
When our insurance changed, he personally called and recommended another podiatrist. His office assistant was super responsive and got us documentation we needed in record time for a deadline. You can tell he really cares about his patients.
I will recommend him to anyone who ever asks me for a foot doctor!
Pretty office, too.

If you need a podiatrist GO TO DR. SAEED! As other reviewers have said, he is the friendliest doctor I have ever met. I chose him based on other Unilocal reviews and I am so glad I did. I went in for ingrown toenails on both of my big toes. They appeared suddenly and have caused terrible pain for about six months. I scheduled a 9am appointment fully expecting not to be seen until 9:15 or later. Well, I was called back at 8:58, talked to Dr. Saeed’s friendly assistant, Ty, for about two minutes and at 9am, in walked Dr. Saeed. Someone else mentioned in their review that talking to Dr. Saeed is like visiting with an old friend — that is exactly how I felt with him. Not only is he confident but he made me feel confident in his expertise. He explained my options and went over the honest pros and cons of each one. By 9:30 am, I was already out the door and on my way to work. Dr. Saeed anticipates your questions and answers them before you can ask, but not in an annoying or condescending way. I ended up having the ingrown portion of my toenail removed (with local anesthesia). Dr. Saeed only did one toenail at this appointment because doing both at once would have resulted in the inability for me to walk comfortably for the remainder of the day (something I decided against). He did this all in under thirty minutes but at no point did I feel rushed. Dr. Saeed made light-​hearted jokes and chatted with me about life, family, etc., all the while throwing in doctor-​speak and explaining what he was doing. Sometimes doctors make appointments awkward by trying to joke or chit chat but everything with Dr. Saeed felt natural. Please, go see him if you have any foot problems and he will set your mind (and feet) at ease!

If you like waiting for over an hour, this is the place for you. I don’t and won’t and the wait coupled with the miscommunications, lack of communication and poor customer service drove me out and to another foot surgeon.
I made an appointment with what I thought was Red Rocks Foot And Ankle Center, but it was actually Healthmark. Confusing when I received an automated voice mail for Gina, which isn’t my name, alerting me to an appointment at Healthmark.
I arrived to find the office strange, what is Healthmark? There are no doctors names listed on the sign or the door and when I entered couldn’t find a list of doctors either.
The receptionist was grouchy (the frizzy beige-​haired woman) and told me to sign-​in and wait.
After 20 min I asked a different receptionist how much longer the wait would be, «not long». Another 20 min and I asked again. This time she paged Natalie. The doctor is «running late». No kidding. I’ve been waiting 40 minutes. Another 20 minutes and Natalie calls my name — from the hallway that is around the corner. I can’t see her and don’t know which way to go. As we walk down the hallway I ask if there was an emergency, why the wait? She ignores me and motions for me to walk in an examination room. Again, I ask what the delay is. She tells me that other patients showed up late and that all the appointments get pushed out. I’ve been here for an hour, I tell her. She says, «I have no idea what time it is». Natalie is not wearing a watch. I explain that I’ve been here for an hour. «Oh, sorry,» She asks me why I want to see Dr. Saeed. Not only have I told the receptionist when making the appointment, I’ve also filled out loads of paperwork. And she’s asking me for a third time. Where does that paperwork go? «have a nice day» she says.
I sit in this cold exam room, with no magazines, no water, nothing. Waiting.
After about another 10 minutes I leave. The. Building. Done.
No call from the office, nothing. 67 minutes of waiting.
It’s hard to believe these other reviews on Unilocal.I mean why would the doctor that is so revered have such a poor staff? It doesn’t make sense. It’s also hard to believe a doctor would think a patient could wait for over an hour and not provide some explanation. Doesn’t the doc have staff to alleviate the issue? I have things to do to, don’t you?
Based on my experience, I can’t recommend this doctor or the office at Healthmark.

I wish all doctors were like Dr Saeed. Personable, caring, genuine, knowledgeable, and timely are all words that I want when describing a doctor, and they’re all what you get with Dr Saeed.
He’s been treating my planter warts on my foot for nearly two years now and has done a fantastic job. Two years you ask? Yeah, they were pretty bad (pro tip: never wait once you have one formed), but Dr Saeed has successfully battled on and nearly has everything back to good despite being some of the worst he’s seen. And he’s done it the whole time with an honest interest in my well being and budget concerns. He’s always got a smile on his face despite having to do what I consider an awful task.
If you’ve got foot issues, especially planter warts, pay Dr Saeed a visit. He’ll make it his mission to make everything right again.

Hands down the best. I’ve had 3 procedures done with dr. Saeed and he couldn’t be better. Takes the stress away and moves quickly. My feet were a mess but I won’t go anywhere else if I have problems in the future.

Dr. Saeed is a knowledgeable and caring podiatrist. Both my husband and I see him for our foot troubles and he is the best. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the lady at the front desk at the Littleton office has a tendency to act like a total B****. We only put up with her rude behavior because Dr. Saeed is so great!

Dr Saeed is extremely knowledgeable and understands the feet! He is probably the nicest and most kindest Drs I have ever seen. If you have any issues with your feet he is your Dr.

I first visited Dr. Saeed last fall about a painful bunion and an injury to the same foot from being stomped on by my very large horse. This foot has also been broken twice in the past and crushed by my other horse, so I guess you could say I’m a bit accident-​prone.
I had put off doing anything about the bunion for years because I had heard so many nightmare stories about long, painful recoveries and even some botched surgeries. I went to see a podiatrist and left there with even more anxiety, so I decided to get some good inserts and tough it out. But the bunion kept squawking louder and started interfering with my daily activities.
Eventually I began doing some research and discovered that, with the right surgeon, this procedure can be virtually pain-​free with a relatively quick recovery. My task then was to find someone in the Denver area I could trust.
Well, thank goodness for Dr. Saeed, because he was just the guy I was looking for. In just one visit he laid to rest my long-​held fears and concerns about bunion surgery. This would not be the nightmare I’d been warned about — no horrible pain, no crutches, no lengthy layup and no gimping around for months on end in a big, stupid boot. He estimated that I would need just a few days off work, a month or so in a boot and then I would be back in action. Most important, he said the pain would be «very manageable» and I would likely not even need the prescribed Vicodin. And guess what? It was all true.
Now at 10 weeks post-​op, I am healed and comfortably doing most of my normal activities — riding my horses, working out and doing chores around my small farm. I am very active and on my feet a LOT, and this has not slowed me down. I still have some minor swelling, which should subside over the next couple of months.
As for the horse injury, it took him a only couple of minutes during the first visit to locate the problem area, then a simple steroid injection completely eliminated the pain I’d been feeling for months.
I have only one regret, and that is not finding Dr. Saeed a lot sooner. From now on I will not trust my feet to anyone else!
*** Updated July 2014 ***
I just had my second bunion surgery on the left foot. My right foot was doing great — was doing a lot of walking and some running — but the left one was hurting and getting worse.
This time I went with only a local anesthetic. BEST DECISION EVER! I am so glad I did this because the propofol from the the first surgery didn’t agree with me, and now I feel fantastic. I took three doses of regular Tylenol the day of surgery and that is all I have needed. Dr. Saeed is the best surgeon. Thank you!

Dr. Saeed is easily the nicest and best doctor I have ever visited. After having foot pain for a couple years and seeing Doctor’s that didn’t help, he immediately determined what was wrong, explained it to me in detail using my xrays, and discussed the process of healing with me. We have been doing a treatment that’s helped immensely and though the possibility of surgery still exists, he wants to explore every other possibility first before going that route.
I would highly recommend Dr. Saeed to anyone seeking a podiatrist.

I saw Dr Saeed in the fall because of foot pain and sensitivity. During the initial visit, he spent a lot of time examining my feet and asking questions. His recommendation was the sonic wave treatment. I really appreciated that his first suggestion was not anything surgical. The sonic wave treatment worked and my feet feel much better than they did before. I’m going in to see him soon to be fitted for orthotics.
Dr Saeed is friendly, knowledgeable, and answers all my questions. I’d recommend him to anyone with foot issues.

I found Dr. Saeed through Cigna and Unilocal yesterday. I had bilateral subungual hematolomas that needed immediate attention. They were able to squeeze me in this morning and take care of my problem. Dr. Saeed and his staff were excellent and I would highly recommend them and will certainly return for any future needs.

Go to this man if your feet or ankles are wonky or painful. I have visited at least 4 other podiatrists in SF and San Diego, some famous and some professors at elite schools and amazing hospitals. I must say that Dr Saeed is so far above them — so kind. patient, understanding, humble, honest, and educates me on the problems I have. I have seen him 4 times, with another visit next week. He also has amazing bedside manner to help you feel at ease when you’re scared prior to a procedure. He has a really great sense of humor as well, wish is really the icing on the cake.
His assistant, Ty, is also really helpful. She’s professional, sweet, and always willing to help you when the Dr is busy or not in.
Bottom line: he seems to know what he’s doing, he tells you what/​why, and then makes sure you are comfortable with procedures/​decisions as they move forward. He really seems to want his patients to be happy and well cared for. That’s priceless.
I found out after my first visit w Dr Saeed that my cousin still lives here and it a great Podiatrist as well. Despite my family urging me to see the cousin I instead fully committed to Dr Saeed for my treatment. He’s a terrfic doctor and those seem harder to find that great boyfriends and husbands!

I love Dr. Saeed. I just had two foot (bunionectomy) surgeries with him and from start to finish he made the process understandable to me and as simple as surgery can be. He is professional, kind, and truly cares about his patients. I am SO GLAD I went ahead with these procedures, because even though I was in pain I was pretty nervous and didn’t want to be off my feet for months. He addressed all my concerns and without making unrealistic promises, explained what he thought my prognosis would be based on my age, severity of my case and general health. He turned out to be exactly right on. He is that rare young doctor with all of the modern expertise of a recent medical school graduate combined with the inborn wisdom, care and attention to detail of an old pro. I would not trust my feet to anyone else.
Normally I would not go this far, but in the case of Dr. Saeed I welcome any personal emails from those of you who need more details or a more personal recommendation. I know that surgery is a huge life decision and I wish I had had the opportunity to email or call someone who had been through this. I’m happy to respond if you drop me a line.
