“New patient. Staff were friendly and doctor was thorough. Will continue to see this doctor for my plantar fasciitis! ”
Ashley M.March 30, 2026
“The doctor was actually really cool! Really nice doctor overall super clean building all brand new. His nurse who brought me into the room and brought me for my x-rays was beyond the best nurse that I have dealt with in the last 90 days of going to at least three doctors appointment a week for several other injuries. This was by far the best experience that I’ve had. This was beyond. Anything I ever could’ve asked for I honestly wish that I turned this direction a little sooner, but it happened out there a reason I can’t thank you enough and I’ll definitely be back for a follow up.”

Dr. Dini was great. He took some X-Rays of the affected area. He was able to clearly explain why I was having a throbbing pain. He gave several options on how to
fix the problem. His bed side manner was amazing. After leaving the appointment I felt much better about the entire situation.
January 9, 2025Aaron S.Verified patient
A booked online based on reviews and Dr. Dini is amazing. He was able to pre-diagnose my foot injury by listening and checking the area. After the x-ray and MRI, his original diagnosed was confirmed. A follow up call was great, and now a follow visit to begin treatment. Thank you Dr Dini, and to his assistant, Ms. Gia who was so caring during my painful visit.. I highly recommend his professional experience.

I felt like Dr. Dini rushed through my appointment. Some of the procedures were highly unnecessary and he charged my insurance with claims that never even happened. I am highly disappointed. Please be careful.

Amazing
May 10, 2019Tanzania H.Verified patient
I was a new patient to Dr. Dini (and podiatry in general) and he was a good introduction to it. He ran a quick but thorough exam, based on my onboarding forms and history. Afterward, he explained his diagnosis in detail, possible treatments, and success rates. Since I am new to this field of medicine, and naturally curious, he also spoke in general about foot and ankle health: what to look for in shoes, when or when not to use braces, etc. I was anxious before the appointment, but I feel like I'm in good hands now.
