Fairfax Foot & Ankle Center

The office is wonderful. I had a great experience booking my appointment with the receptionist and was able to fill out the new patient paperwork online, which saved me some hassle when coming in.
I have plantar fasciitis and, though I know what this means, appreciated that Dr. Said explained the condition and the different methods of treatment. At my first visit, I received medication, had my foot taped/​wrapped/​and was given a boot to wear at night. This was a lot more than I have received from other doctors in the past and appreciated how much attention I was given.
I had a very smooth transition into this practice and have been impressed with the personalized service this far!

My experience with Dr. Said was great! The office was very professional and the was no wait. They called me back before I even completed the paperwork. Dr. Said was friendly and knowledgeable. She made my first experience as comforting as possible.

I’m not quite sure how to rate these guys — they seem to know what they are talking about — but I was hoping for more of a definitive solution to my problem…
Both of my feet hurt — turns out I have a mild bunion issue. I am flat-​footed and lack arch support, it seems to be a hereditary trait in my family — my Dad has the same problem. Dr. Olkin was the Doctor I had an appointment with.
They looked over my feet, X-​Rayed them, and had me come back. They showed me the X-​Rays and showed me the skeletal structure alignment of my feet and how they were off — being caused by my flat-​footedness.
He was very careful to let me know that they wanted to take a conservative approach and try other avenues of treatment before resorting to surgery. I’m all for that — as long as there is a reasonable chance of success.
So, I went in to have molds made of my feet for Orthotic inserts for my shoes. A bit pricey — I had not paid my deductible for the year — after doing so — my health insurance covered the remainder.
It’s to early to tell if this is going to take care of my problem. It requires that I be diligent and disciplined — that is to say remember to use them every day. It’s a pain because you have to move them from shoe to shoe.
