Dr Safapour is a first class podiatrist. He is empathetic, highly skilled, and a great listener, besides other positive qualities. I am fortunate I found him. I highly recommend him.
May 28, 2025Peter A.Verified patient
The physician asked a few questions, listened carefully to my response then dialogues with me on a plan of action. He conveyed knowledge and caring. As a supplementary observation I found Zocdoc easy to use and obtained a very timely appointment. Finally, the office reception area had a TV that played a travel log which was much more enjoyable than seeing a medical infomercial

The staff were kind and friendly and the doctor was very patient and flexible with my son’s needs. They all communicated with me directly and answered every question I had with elaboration. They all had an excellent sense of humor too.
April 30, 2025Logan J.Verified patient
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, which has caused major deformity in all of my toes, and severe hammer toes. Instead of recommending full on surgery of all of my toes, Dr. Sapaphor suggested we treat the worst hammer toe first, with a surgical procedure to straighten it, since wearing closed toe shoes is very painful. He took the time to explain it to me, and was very kind.

Friendly staff not wanting
January 12, 2025Evelia M.Verified patient
I waited over an hour to be seen with zero communication about the delay from the receptionist. I told the dr what I thought the diagnosis was. He didn’t suggest any testing or screening. He told me to roll my foot on a frozen water bottle and buy shoe inserts from Amazon. He didn’t address my other ankle. Dr. Google was more effective.

Dr. Safapour was very wise and courteous. A rare find. He prioritized very effective and non-intrusive remedies that respect our bodies natural functions, as opposed to strictly pharmaceutical pill prescriptions, surgery, etc.
