I appreciated her having multiple considerations when reviewing my issues and her thoughtful consideration of each issue's complexity and treatment options.
July 9, 2026Janet P.Verified patient
I felt so at ease with the Doctor. She explained everything to me. Did a debridement, hopefully I spelled correctly, whereby removing layers of tissue, no pain at all!!! We communicated, she listened to my concerns, and I couldn't be happier and told her I was so glad to have found her. I definitely will recommend her to everyone I know. I feel great and so does my foot ??!!! I will also be seeing her every three months. Love it!!

June 16, 2026Cheryl L.Verified patient
The doctor is very kind and compassionate. She understands my condition very well and is willing to try help me get out of chronic pain. She is very knowledgeable about my condition. This is just the beginning of my journey with her but I look forward to hopefully being pain free after an adjustment to my new orthotics and whatever other protocol she may offer. One of the best doctors I have seen in a very long time. Hopeful at last!!! I highly recommend if you are in search of a new doctor.

It was amazing to collaborate with a doctor who hears you, cares and wants to do what’s best for you. She’s extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and kind. She went through everything thoroughly. She answered all my questions. It was an amazing experience. It’s a relief to know I do not need my ankle operated on. We can treat my issues. I can still hike, weightlift, and box.

Dr. Hashemi is a wonderful doctor! I would highly recommend her to anyone who injured their foot or ankle. I had a foot injury and saw many doctors who couldn’t figure out what was going on but once I found Dr. Hashemi she was able to diagnose me right away and get me back up on my feet within 3 months! Amazing doctor!
