“The doctor seems like a really great guy, very understanding and very informative I would definitely recommend going to visit this doctor.”
Charles I.February 22, 2024
“If Dr Lavian has HALF the surgical skill as he has bedside manner, my eventual bunionectomy will be a walk in the park! Dr. L was on time, spent 30 mins talking with/assessing my history and feet, set me up with an x-ray appt and a follow-up visit with him in 9 days. I feel like I got lucky when I chose to see Dr. Lavian from the long list of podiatrists ZocDoc currently provides. ”

Dr.Lavian was immediately able to identify what my issue was and provide the proper regimen. So grateful to have found him after experiencing terrible foot pain for 4 days. Dr.Lavian was nice and knowledgeable and made sure I understood what I needed to do at home to keep up with my PT. The office is in the middle of being renovated but overall was not an issue and did not hinder the appointment
May 19, 2022Shane D.Verified patient
Dr. Emil is an excellent podiatrist. I booked a last minute appointment with him after injuring my toe and he was so knowledgable and helpful to ease my concerns and lend me his expertise. He communicates clearly and does not make you feel rushed throughout the process. I would go to him 100x over !!!
May 19, 2022Sarah C.Verified patient
Dr Latvian was very thorough. He took his time to explain everything so that I fully understand. He did not try to rush me out- like most doctors do. He took his time and gave me all the care I needed. He explained all my options and even showed me what I can do at home to alleviate my foot pain.
More than 1 year agoAndrea R.Verified patient
I can't recommend Dr. Lavian enough! He did a great job addressing my issues and took his time to explain everything clearly and in detail. He also had a great bedside manner and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. On top of that, he thoroughly answered my questions regarding billing and eased my anxieties regarding any costs related to treatment. Very glad I found him and looking forward to treatment with him going forward!
October 13, 2021Thomas C.Verified patient

May 13, 2021Matthew C.Verified patient
My appointment with Dr. Lavian was really wonderful. He was very kind, very explanatory and very patient with my questions. He clearly genuinely cares about his patients and was very helpful. Thank you!
More than 1 year agoXenia P.Verified patient
He thoroughly explained all the pain-causing problem areas on my foot and all the various solutions to the problems. I particularly appreciated how he explained all the potential treatment avenues but highly recommended starting with simpler treatment methods like specific stretches and physical therapy before more drastic ones. I also appreciated how kind he was as a person, particularly trying to work with you to ensure you can afford treatment and working with your current pay situation. Highly recommend!

Dr. Lavian has been very helpful with getting my toe pain, caused by wear and tear arthritis and tendonitis, under control. After seeing him a handful of time the tendonitis is much more manageable, and often even unnoticeable. After having some problems with a previous clinic and how they approached insurance coverage/cost, Dr. Lavian has been very clear with how he approaches it, checks my coverage and what’s accepted by the insurance company, assuring me he only performs treatments that the policy would cover - or clearly tell me otherwise. He also has very good “bedside manners”, polite, flexible with time etc.
August 25, 2020Kjell Per Mattias A.Verified patient
Very professional and extremely informative about the condition am dealing with. I visited a number of Podiatrists who rushed to offer a Cortisone shot which does relieve the pain, but only temporarily. Dr Lavian was very patient and detail, he explained the right method of treatment to heal me long term. I highly recommend.
More than 1 year agoJ L.Verified patient

The best! I used to have so much pain, I saw two other doctors before Dr. Lavian. I wish I knew about him earlier. After two weeks of his therapy & a pair of custom orthotics I feel like a million bucks!
More than 1 year agoBY
Dr. Lavian is very helpful & understanding. I was hesitant about getting custom orthotics as I've had a bad experience with them in the past. Dr. Lavian's orthotics however are very comfortable and supportive.

Dr. Lavian was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable. I made my appointment and the whole entire process was quick and to the point and I felt very comfortable.
More than 1 year agoSamantha M.Verified patient
Dr. Lavian is AMAZING! Extremely knowledgeable and professional. He made me feel at ease as soon as I walked in and even saw me before my scheduled appointment time. He addressed multiple concerns although I went in for something specific and gave me several different treatment options. I will definitely be booking an appointment with him again and would recommend him to anyone who needs a great, friendly, and knowledgeable podiatrist!! So happy that I found him! :)

Dr. Lavian helped me with bad foot injury. I am a runner and injured my achilles. He took the time to understand my lifestyle and treated me accordingly. Recovery is slow but the treatment is helping. I can't wait to start running again.
More than 1 year agoRB
I had chronic ankle pain for years due to an old injury. Dr. Lavian was able to treat and heal my condition over a course of treatment. He was always very attentive and professional. He was always willing and able to walk me through everything before doing any procedure so I can understand and follow along on my treatment.
