Kudos to Dr. Gavin and staff…read more After many failed visits with podiatrists from Dallas to Chicago, and countless attempts by other doctors to "heal me" via their prescription pads, a family member introduced me to Dr. Gavin. His caring and attentiveness was obvious from the very start. With an aggressive schedule of therapy (which he thoroughly explained) and use of custom orthotics (which he masterfully crafted) I am virtually pain-free today. I only wish I had found him before suffering for seven years with excruciating foot pain and unbelievable expense trying every suggestion in the books. I gladly offer my complete and confident reference to anyone who may be experiencing any issues - especially those that other doctors cannot seem to address.

Taking care of my father-in-law who requires diabetic care has given me peace of mind. I really appreciate is his ability to explain things in language you can relate to and understand and that he gives you honest answers and explanations. The office team is fantastic as well. I have not had any insurance problems and they have always been helpful and friendly. We live further away from the office now but I would not consider seeing anyone other than Dr. Gavin. I trust his expert knowledge completely. He has always gone above and beyond to give my entire family the very best care.

Accessibility is another pillar of his practice style; He believes in being available for questions. If you forget to ask something while you're in, call with your question. Dr Gavin returns patient calls when he is not with patients. He believes in healing with the least invasive approach when possible and surgery only when absolutely necessary. When surgery is needed, the latest techniques are used. He believes in furthering his education through extensive reading and participation in continuing medical education seminars, and holds two teaching positions in surgical residency programs. At the Foot and Ankle Institute, Dr Gavin believes in providing the best care possible using the latest diagnostic technology and surgical techniques.

I went in for a sprained ankle. They took an x-ray before I even talked to a doctor. Then Dr…read more Hyderi said she couldn't see anything on the x-ray and I needed an MRI. It took no less than 4 texts and phone calls to get them to send the order for the MRI. Meanwhile, she told her assistant to get a brace for me. They just put it on me without discussing it and charged me over $80 for it on my way out. When I went for the follow up, Dr. Hyderi said I had multiple issues with my ankle and I needed to wear a boot for 6 weeks. Again, she sent the assistant to get a boot, they put it on me and charged me $197 for it on my way out. She also wrote me a prescription for an NSAID cream that cost $87 AND was on auto refill for 2 weeks later. She told me I should also consider getting a stem cell injection because it could speed up the healing process (but no guarantees). That would cost $1500 and insurance doesn't cover it. And of course there were office charges on top of all that. Then I got another bill for an additional $40 for the boot because insurance didn't cover it. So I paid $237 for a boot that costs $60 on Amazon. I decided to get a second opinion at Kipferl and I'm SO GLAD I DID. Dr. Steven Kipferl explained the results of my MRI in great detail, said I should wear the boot for 2 weeks, not 6 and concentrate on getting the inflammation down by icing it, applying NSAID cream (OTC for $15) and taking prednisone ($5 prescription). A stem cell injection was not recommended until he could pinpoint what area might need one and if I chose to get one, it would cost about $750, not the $1500 Dr. Hyderi would charge. After 2 weeks, my ankle is 100% better. Foot & Ankle Specialists is all about making money. Kipferl is about taking care of their patients.

So I am giving this office two stars because of the gorgeous, new and modern office setting, and…read morefor the staff. They were very attentive, friendly and very courteous. My experience with Dr. Hyderi was good as well. She was friendly, talkative and engaging. I went in with severe heel pain. I explained my symptoms to the medical assistant who said "oh that's plantar fasciitis." I was a little surprised (I was thinking maybe a heel spur?) but, hey, I'm not a doctor! So Dr Hyderi comes in and says "I hear you have plantar fasciitis?" I'm like "....um I have no idea! That's why I'm here." She then explains to me that with plantar fasciitis, I need physical therapy, orthotics and a cortisone shot. Not a fan of shots, but if it gets me out of pain I'm all in. I ask her a few times "with the shot, is my pain gone quickly?" Both Dr Hyderi and the assistant said "your pain is gone almost instantly!" Great! Sign me up... I get the shot, which wasn't so bad. But was still in a ton of pain. Jump to a week later and it's worse than before. My insurance changed so unfortunately I had to change podiatrists and start all over. When I got to my new doctor, he immediately says "I don't think you have PF...I think you've ruptured your fascia tendon." He does an X-ray, ultrasound and MRI and it's confirmed...its ruptured. My frustration with Dr Hyderi is she didn't even consider it being something other than PF. No test, no further investigating. She said a shot would fix me and it only made it worse. I wish she would have been more thorough, rather than just injecting my foot and sending me on my way. Since I have seen her, I've done research that says with a ruptured tendon, a cortisone shot can actually make it worse, or cause the healing process to drastically slow down. Great...just great...
