????? So glad I found Dr. Urooj!
I went in for heel pain not really knowing what to expect, and honestly I left so impressed. Dr. Usman Urooj actually sat down with me, listened, and went through everything — my options, what could be causing the problem, things I could try at home. He didn't just hand me a prescription and send me on my way. You can tell he genuinely wants to figure out what's actually going on, not just cover it up with shots or medication.
His staff was wonderful too — friendly, efficient, and just as warm as he was. The whole visit felt comfortable from start to finish, which honestly isn't always the case at a doctor's office!

I came to see Dr. Urooj for a persistent foot issue that had been bothering me for months. Before I even saw the doctor, the MA Marisela went out of her way to make me feel welcome. They took the time to explain the root cause of my pain and provided a clear, manageable treatment plan. I’m finally back on my feet and pain-free. If you’re looking for a podiatrist who actually listens and delivers results, look no further!

I had my first gout flare and it was no fun. Couldn’t walk and couldn’t go to work. I found Dr Urooj on ZocDoc and he was amazing. Listened to my entire story, symptoms and understood my goal was to return to work ASAP. He gave me a medication plan to treat the current issue and roadmap to prevent future occurrences. He offered me may alternate options as well and let me chose which was right for me. His office staff is also incredible!
