After having my concerns brushed aside by a previous podiatrist, I went to see Dr. Hakim. I immediately felt comfortable and he swiftly diagnosed my problem. He explained & offered various treatment options. The surgery was a complete success, and I am no longer in pain. I healed beautifully, and the scarring is minimal which I attribute to his expertise. I highly recommend him.

I was misdiagnosed and mistreated for months and my problem was getting worst, until I decided to get a second opinion. I saw Dr. Hakim and he knew right away the problem with my foot. I had surgery, now I can walk normal and with no pain at all. I am very happy with the result.
