“I've been quite a few times and always swift and fast and ALWAYS fix my issue from glass in my foot that was SUPER tiny to hang nails that were sooo painful. Dr Fu is da best. Lots of appts during the day and in the evening.”
Jackie F.January 27, 2026
“Dr. Fu seemed very knowledgeable and thorough! She was able to clearly diagnose my plantar fasciitis and had multiple solutions to help solve it. She also gave me a clear expectation for healing time. This was a huge contrast from the podiatrist I had previously seen a few months back that didn’t take this seriously. So I felt heard and was given answers and solutions”

Dr Fu was nice, but did not even ask me to walk around the room to analyze my gait so didn’t feel very thorough.
