“Dr. Aziz is incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. She took the time to offer several treatment options and clearly explained how each choice would help my situation. I really appreciated how thoughtful and thorough she was.
She also recommended a great solution for keeping shoes clean and free from moisture and bacteria -something simple, safe, and very effective for maintaining healthy feet and preventing future problems.
It’s rare to find a doctor who is both knowledgeable and genuinely caring. I highly recommend Dr. Aziz.”

Best experience ever!
February 20, 2026Rebekah S.Verified patient
My appointment was at 2:30PM and I wasn't seen by the doctor until 40 minutes after my appointment. Once I met the doctor and she checked my foot, I did like her demeanor and the manner with which she treated me. She took a less aggressive form of treatment which I appreciated. She explained everything very well.
January 27, 2026Michele K.Verified patient
Actually I am a former patient of Dr. Aziz. The one thing I can say about her is she really cares about her patients. She is very personable and has excellent interpersonal communication skills. You can be assured she will provide the greatest care.
January 3, 2026Sharon W.Verified patient

The doctor was late, but worth the wait! She apologized profusely and was very easy to talk with. I will be returning in two months for my next laser treatment. Office staff is very friendly!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Aziz. After being treated by a doctor in a different practice for months and no real improvement with my ankle injury, I decided to get a second opinion and was recommended Dr. A is by a friend. At my previous doctor I was treated like a number, in and out in 5-10 minutes with minimal examination or explanation. Dr. Aziz, in one visit, gave me a more thorough examination, an extensive explanation with visuals of what was happening in my ankle, and a few options for treatment based on how conservatively I wanted to first approach it. I felt far more confident and hopeful after leaving her office than in all my months with my previous doctor. Highly recommend.
April 9, 2025Chelsy E.Verified patient
Dr Aziz gave me so much information on what was going on with my foot problem, and how she wanted to make sure I understood everything she wanted to do to help me. What a wonderful experience. She made me feel like a family member. Her staff was lovely.
April 9, 2025Charla H.Verified patient
What an incredible experience! I am looking forward to my follow-up appointment and have already recommended Dr Aziz to others
January 27, 2025Irazmi P.Verified patient
When I first walked into the office, it was like walking into my best friend‘s home. I felt very comfortable. I felt welcome. The office was full of joy. Doctor Aziz was incredible. She genuinely listen to me and my concerns. Dr AZIZ first reaction was NOT to suggest “Surgery”, She gave me options, solutions that we can try first, things to think about.
I truly felt seen. I love that her office is run by women doctors. It is a beautiful location with very genuine people that care about you.
January 21, 2025Yole R.Verified patient
Dr Aziz explained everything. She listened to me and was so excited that i wanted to watch the procedure! Trust doesn't happen easily in our rushed world! She took the time!
January 8, 2025Corinne Z.Verified patient
Dr Aziz was amazing. A breath of fresh air after seeing many other doctors that could not help my son. She spent a lot of time with us. No rushing us and explaining everything and answering all questions. Lover Her!
December 14, 2024Brady L.Verified patient
Finally a podiatrist who takes the time to have an X-ray taken to see what is wrong with my ankle. Dr. Aziz took the time to explain in great detail why I was experiencing the pain I was feeling and how she could treat it. I'm hoping the hand-molded cast she personally made to create orthotics to correct the arrangement of bones in my ankle will help alleviate my problem. She also referred me to an ankle specialist for physical therapy whom I will contact immediately. Dr. Aziz is by far the most talented, experienced and thorough podiatrist I have ever encountered.
December 12, 2024David C.Verified patient
The doctor was absolutely great. Great communication , down to earth and very funny. Was seriously one of the best doctor appointments I’ve ever had . I came out laughing and happy with my visit.

Professional,friendly and helpful staff.
Dr. Aziz clearly communicated the diagnosis and various options available to me.
Great group of professionals and I felt very well taken care of.
November 5, 2024Whitney D.Verified patient
Yes, I would go back. Unfortunately, I had about a long wait- well over one hour. The doctor was knowledgeable and professional and very kind.
September 10, 2024Lynn R.Verified patient
Dr. Aziz was super nice! She did a consultation and was sure to take care of everything that was wrong. I had also brought my daughter along, and Dr Aziz was really friendly and worked well with kids. She even gave my daughter a piece of plaster to play with while she was waiting for me to finish. 10/10 nice staff! Would recommend to anyone!

Love Dr Aziz!
July 9, 2024Jennifer T.Verified patient
My experience with Dr. Aziz was very good. She came in with another podiatrist who wanted to join her seeing the patients so I was lucky enough to be seen by two experts at the same visit:)
She examined my feet and explained everything I needed to know about my possible diagnosis, what caused it, how to prevent further damage to my injury and sent me home with a walking boot. I needed to have an MRI to confirm the diagnosis and will see her again in her office.
She’s a very pleasant person with good caring energy.
Thanks Dr. Aziz??
June 18, 2024Zsolt R.Verified patient
Very caring and informative
February 9, 2024John J.Verified patient
Excellent experience!
January 16, 2024Robert K.Verified patient
Omg, Dr Aziz was absolutely amazing!
She listens to your needs, addresses your needs in a non invasive way and you feel as if your problem will be handled in the best possible way.
Most Dr. just bandage the problem areas? Dr Aziz wants to find out the root issue and fix that, not just bandage it and be in your way!
I will always recommend this caring, genuine Dr.
if your feet are Inman and not right, please don’t hesitate and call this office to get some help.

MD Aziz did great with explaining the disease process and the options to help with my feet issues. I appreciate the layman's term that she used, and my husband easily understood what MD Aziz was talking about ( husband not in medical field). We appreciate that she spent time in answering our questions, and we did not feel rushed during my consultation. MD Aziz was personable during my visit. :)
