“Wonderful office. The wait time for each visit is very short, which shows they respect their patients time. The ladies at the front desk are incredibly nice and helpful, and Dr Sadoughi has been a great doctor. My husband suffered a complete Achilles rupture while in Peru, and needed a full reconstruction surgery when he got back to the US. Dr Sadoughi has been really transparent and has kept our expectations realistic through the diagnosis, surgery, and recovery process. All concerns and questions are answered well in detail and taken seriously. I’m really happy with the care my husband has been getting here. We’ve also been seen by Dr. Ambardar, and he is also incredibly kind and patient, and explains things in detail. I would highly recommend this office! ”

I instantly liked this doctor. He was very patient with me as I tend to ramble on and he did listen to everything I said. He offered me multiple alternatives to make me feel better. As a matter of fact just a simple care he took on our initial visit left my feet much more comfortable for standing and walking. I have confidence in this doctor that he knows what is best for me and have made a visit to begin a process of treatment with him. Based on my very first visit I would highly recommend this practice.
June 17, 2025Nancy R.Verified patient
Overall I had a good experience. Once I was seen the process went smooth. I was seen by the doctor then X-rays were taken. I then had second consult with the doctor and we discussed a plan of action . After the consultation pictures were taken of my feet for orthotics. Upon leaving the front desk staff were very friendly and I set up two follow up appointments.

Tries to sales people medicine out of pocket and suggest that what insurance would cover he doesn’t recommend? I didn’t have a good experience in felt off about visiting it felt more like a salesman than a podiatrist

Bizarre experience. This doctor and office lack even the most basic competencies to treat a routine health problem. The doctor was flippant and pointed out various unrelated issues while I tried to have my ingrown toe treated. It has remained infected. The doctor said he would call in a prescription for the toe, but he never filled it. I followed up twice with the office, and they said they “don’t know why it wasn’t sent in.” They did not follow up as promised. You truly have no process in place to walk around the corner and ask? For weeks? I presume this is a patient mill - be cautious if you are told you should pursue multiple expensive, unrelated treatments. They also request personal detail before booking an appointment.

Amazing doctor. Amazing practice !
I had to drive an hour away to find someone open who would perform ingrown toenail surgery right away - this visit was a blessing ! Whole office was warm and welcoming and less than ten minutes i was in the doctors chair before i was walking out with no pain!
November 25, 2023Kelly P.Verified patient
Was able to schedule appointment quickly. Completing paperwork via Zocdoc prior to appointment. All staff were friendly and professional. Doctor listened to me, to learn reason for appointment. After listening, he performed a physical exam of feet and ankles. Providing an immediate treatment plan to lead to relief from foot pain.

November 6, 2023Chris S.Verified patient
As soon as I walked in the first thing the doctor said was “ I don’t know if we can help
You but we’ll try” it was very rushed and the doctor was very rude to his assistants even touched one of the assistants with his dirty gloves. Very unprofessional and rude the assistant was cool though young Asian guy ??

June 14, 2023Carol L.Verified patient
I really loved my experience and service here. It was absolutely amazing. All of the doctors were respectful and welcoming. I waited no longer than 30 minutes to be seen. Once seen the doctor was very direct, helpful, and even educated me on other issues I was unaware of. I truly felt like he approached the situation from a very empathetic standpoint. Extremely professional organization. I would refer everyone to come to this practice.
June 13, 2023Joseph C.Verified patient
I had a 1:00 appointment and in good faith arrived well before the 15 minutes that they charge a late fee (got in the office at 1:03). I sat until 1:32 than asked when I would be seen by the physician. I saw him at 1:37 and it took him @8 minutes if that. He didn’t wear gloves and never touched my foot. He used the flashlight from his cell phone to look at my toes ( thought I had a fungus). He referred me to buy the ointment that they sell and check back in 3-6 months! I had to ask several questions to get any suggestions from him.

June 30, 2022Ramonia J.Verified patient
Dr. was very knowledgeable and listened carefully to how I injured my ankle and he knew exactly what transpired, so I can take measure to heal. They were able to take an X-ray on the spot and left with a boot.
May 10, 2022Claudia T.Verified patient
I came in for a 2nd opinion with Dr. Sadoughi who was quick, but still provided thorough service and efficient bedside manner.
He explained the possible problem with my toe, what may have caused the current issue and was honest about my need for a follow-up in order to conclude a proper health plan/solution.
Thank you again for seeing me today!

Followed this doctor from his last office because I trust in him. He has given a thoroughly analysis of my issues and with great bedside manner. He also understands the fact that people live real lives and tries to help manage post treatment with quality advice that fits the mode of that person.

Building is confusing. No proper directions.
The office staff is not welcoming.
I felt like, my problem is not being heard completely & they immediately started advertising & selling some products.

I selected Dr. Sadoughi from Zocdoc because of the great reviews and I can attest that the reviews are spot on! Dr. Sandoughi was attentive, personable and used humor superbly to calm and distract me from the foot pain I was experiencing. Although I was a first time patient, he effortlessly identified the cause of my pain and treated it. I left his office pain free!
