“I appreciated Dr. Sunny showing me step by step how to take care of the wound myself. He pre-cut several heel cushions for me and gave me a ton of gauze and medical tape to use. I often feel rushed out by doctors and even though the office seemed busy, Dr. Sunny really took the time to make sure I was taken care of.”

Excellent doctor, Thorough, efficient and meticulous. Wonderful follow through, kind and positive. Everything you want in a podiatrist. And gets you back in the game of athletics!
May 18, 2025Paulette K.Verified patient
Dr. Sunny was really attentive and really took care of my foot and how to proceed on the healing and care strategies. He listened and was very kind to me by making sure I understood and took the right approach towards my healing so it takes less time and is less painful. I 100% recommend him and I wish all doctors took the same time and attention like he does to make the patient experience more human. I’m grateful to have gone to him.

Thank you, as well, for the wonderful staff
March 29, 2025Christopher H.Verified patient
I had an amazing experience at my recent podiatry appointment. Sunny was incredibly thorough and spent over an hour carefully assessing my feet, addressing not only the concerns I came in for but also resolving issues I didn’t even know I had. Like the terminator I’ll be back!!!

I was able to book the appointment same day because of intense pain. I was so relieved to get an appointment, the doctor was thorough and very informative. I was able to get 3 treatments/prescriptions provided as well as as a follow up ultra sound booked.

Dr. Makhijani (aka Dr. Sunny) was great! He was very knowledgeable, quick, and friendly. I appreciated that he listened to every little question/concern that I had and he was very clear with his instructions on how to treat my foot issue. The office staff was also friendly and helpful. It was a quicker than expected process, and I'd definitely go back (if I have any other issues, but hopefully not!). Highly recommend!
February 3, 2025Carol S.Verified patient
My doctor was great with giving me options to treat my foot pain. Before jumping to injections or more invasive treatments that cost more.
January 24, 2025Emery M.Verified patient
I was a runner for more than 30 years. I've had lots of injuries and seen probably dozens of podiatrists. I've never experienced anyone do as thorough a job of addressing my problem as Dr. Sunny did. He's terrific. And no, I'm neither a relative nor friend. I found him through zocdoc.

He diagnosed my issue immediately, gave me some suggestions on how to avoid it happening again. Quick,efficient and thorough!
December 2, 2024Ann M.Verified patient
Dr. Sunny Makhijani was extremely attentive, thorough and careful, both as a good listener and in examining my injury and in taking x-rays himself. His assistant also provided superior care in wrapping the brace. The practice has a website with instructions for newbies, and I can highly recommend Dr. Makhijani after this first visit!
November 26, 2024Amrita D.Verified patient
This was a short visit. I had X-rays done and they taped my both of my feet. Office staff didn’t go out their way but, they were polite. I will return.

Excellent!!
September 6, 2024Carlos E.Verified patient
The doctor was excellent, fast, and took care of a very painful situation to my great satisfaction and relief. The doctor had a wonderful bedside manner and was a good listener. The weak spot in the experience was that the office was busy and a little chaotic. My appointment was originally for 12 and rescheduled for 12:30. Then I had to wait until 12:50, which isn't that bad. Then when I was called, no room was available so I had to wait 15 more minutes. But since the doctor was so good and since I came in pain and left with no pain, I am not complaining. Maybe the office was so busy because the care is good.
August 21, 2024Dan R.Verified patient
The appointment booking platform was easy. The doctor was very professional and knew what he was doing. He listened attentively and was very helpful. The hospital staff were also very helpful

The wait time is the ONLY thing I didn't like. When I arrived, I addressed the front desk staff, letting them know what time my appointment was scheduled for and which doctor I was there for. I was told by 2 of the 4 staff members at the front desk to sign in. I signed in and sat for 10 minutes before a 3rd staff member asked me my name to which was ALREADY given upon arrival at 3:24pm. Then I told that staff member my full name, and she then sat back down in her chair, and another 10 minutes went by. My appointment was at 3:30pm. I was seen at 4pm. I was not happy about that, but my first time meeting Dr. Makhijani was exceptional. I'm glad he was attentive to all that I needed. He was compassionate and very caring and knowledgeable of what my visit was for. Thank you for the informative information given on my first visit. I hope my next visit I won't have to wait as long.

Through my seemingly eternal injury journey, Dr Makhijani was the first doctor who made me feel heard and cared for. Injuring my foot has impacted so much more than just my ability to walk, and compassion goes a long way when a patient shows up with pain and fear. Thank you so much for your positivity! Will set more time for us to figure out the best game plan to get me up and running ASAP!
More than 1 year agoVeda V.Verified patient
Dr. Sunny is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. He did a thorough check to make sure everything was ok and took the time to show me some stretches and exercises for my leg. Highly recommend!
