I recently had a procedure on my toe with Dr. Ashkan, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. He was not only incredibly professional but also a great listener, taking the time to address all my concerns and ensure I felt comfortable throughout the process. His friendly demeanor and hardworking attitude made everything go smoothly and stress-free. I truly appreciate how he made what could have been a difficult experience feel easy and manageable.

I've been seeing Dr.Arian Ashkan for years and have always been impressed by their dedication to providing excellent care .Dr.Arian Ashkan is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled . The staff at Dr. Arian Ashkanfor's office is always friendly and helpful, making the whole experience very positive. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr.Arian Ashkanfor to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled doctor.
Dr. Ashkan was fantastic! Highly recommend! He is extremely knowledgeable, I’ve gone to several doctors for my issue and none were able to diagnose me properly and they wasted my time, Dr. Ashkan asked me detailed questions and explained my options and the pros and cons of each option and suggested one himself. In less time than I anticipated I started noticing progress and before I knew it I was free of my pain! I wish all doctors had his work ethic!
The appointment overall was excellent very knowledgeable quick and discovered root issue very fast. Also incredibly friendly.

I appreciate the friendly front desk staff and the clean and comfortable waiting area and exam rooms. There is also plenty of seating in the waiting room for those of us who still practice social distancing among strangers. More than that initial impression, though, I'm deeply thankful that Dr. Ashkan has been able to make a real difference with a long-standing condition in a way that a previous, hospital-based wound clinic had not. He has also addressed two other issues with my feet, and throughout, has been calm, efficient, and informative (I ask a lot of questions!).
Dr Ashkan saw me on Saturday the same day that I had ankle injury . He helped me with treatment and I had great recovery. I highly recommend him.
as a type I diabetic, I have seen many health care professionals. Dr. Ashkan is by far the most thorough I've seen. If not for his exceptional care with aggressive treatments I would had lost my right foot to infections that caused a massive would. I can't thanks him enough.
It was my first time coming to this foot doctor and I was very pleased because he listened, and told me what I needed to have done to my feet in order to stop the pain in my legs and hips and cleaned my toe nails to make my feet look healthy, clean and clear.
I am booking my second surgery with Dr. Ashkan. He is a great surgeon and I am very impressed with my recovery and result of my surgery. I have moved to NJ but I am traveling back to Virginia to do my surgery with him. I highly recommend him.
I had a great experience with Dr. Ashkan. He was very knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything clearly, and made sure I understood my treatment options. I never felt rushed, and he really listened to my concerns. His approach was professional yet friendly, which made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The treatment he recommended worked really well, and I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my foot pain. The office staff was also welcoming and efficient, making the whole visit smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ashkan to anyone looking for a great podiatrist!
Very kind doctor an staff. Thank you
