“Dr. Avakian clearly explained my injury and helped me to understand the healing process. He fitted me with a large boot, which was super helpful in my recovery. It was easy to walk in and fully protected my foot from additional injury. He was able to xray my foot in his office, which allowed him to not only confirm his diagnosis of the bone break, but also the healing of the break in the office. He has a friendly disposition and is easy to work with.

“My meeting with Dr Avakian today was great! I needed to meet with a podiatrist asap and he was able to meet me the following Monday. I was thrilled. The meeting was easy and he understood my situation and immediately addressed the problem. I’m wearing a great walking boot and it eliminates the daily pain I have been enduring. Thanks Dr Avakian, you made my day!”

When going to a new doctor there is always some hesitance, some uncertainty. When going to this doctor I went in with this uncertainty and was quickly assured. They listened to my concerns, answered my questions, and were very kind.

Dr. Avakian was the fourth doctor I've seen for an ongoing (over 1 year) foot problem. He correctly diagnosed what was going on and now I'm finally pain free. He was kind and considerate and I would absolutely go back to him for any future feet problems.

The experience was fluid and reasonable, from entry, wait time, friendly, informative team (staff) and the time with the doctor. Also, as per recommendation, seeing the onsite physical therapist was great. It was great for all the same reasons described above.

What a great first experience with ZocDoc. The doctor was friendly and knowledgeable. The front office staff was also super friendly and accommodated my two additional kids I had to bring to the appointment. Altogether a great experience.
January 24, 2022Brighton H.Verified patient
I was extremely nervous prior to the appointment an uncomfortable procedure. The anticipation was FAR worse than the treatment. Dr. Avakian was very kind, gentle and patient ensuring I was comfortable and without pain.
I will definitely return for all my podiatry needs, and refer others as well.
Thank you for such a positive experience!!
