The experience was okay. Dr Patel was warm and answered all my questions but It felt like there were services being sold without educating the patient in the same appointment.

Fast and efficient. Staff & doctor were professional as well as pleasant.
Bought orthotics from the office & it was $10 cheaper than Amazon sold so felt good about that purchase.

It was my first visit and they didn’t do much; only a toenail sample taken to be sent to the Lab. overall it was a good experience.
November 14, 2025Najwa A.Verified patient
Dr. Patel is the best podiatrist I've ever had help me. She accomplished so much during that first visit, answering all my questions, and taking an impression for my new orthotics.
Also, a previous doctor had prescribed an anti-fungal medication for a couple of my toenails. (Never get a foot soak at a salon that offers pedicures, that's my advice. That's how I got the toenail fungus.)
It seemed weird, what was happening, using this medicine. I called the office of my previous doctor. A nurse at my OLD practice expressed sympathy and said, sure I could take a break from time to time and just not use it..
Dr. Patel told me to use the medication for 7 days in a row, then remove the buildup with an acetone-based nail polish remover. She even (expertly) used a small tool to scrape away most of the thick buildup that had accumulated from that medication. I'm so grateful
Problem solved.
As for Dr. Patel, and her staff - Bridget and Kristin - all of them are treasures. Gratitude!

I had a terrific experience at Progressive Foot in Sterling, Virginia. The staff was very helpful, and the podiatrist was very knowledgeable and set up with a very simple plan for eradicating the issues with my feet. I definitely recommend this podiatrist with foot issues.
