But after two unanswered follow up calls during business hours, one in which I left a voicemail and didn't receive a callback, I decided to go with a different podiatrist.

Dr.Melissa Smith is wonderful! And so is her staff. Especially, Cassie. I currently have no…read moreinsurance so I called several different doctor offices to try and identify costs and procedures for my big toe that was in a lot of pain. Cassie was the only person to ask what was going on with my toe, and recommended a few things to do prior to booking a podiatrist appointment. She said if at home care treatment didn't work after a few days, to call again and they would take care of me. After a few days, I decided to call back. As promised, Cassie was immediately accommodating and got me an appointment with Dr.Smith. Dr.Smith was awesome. She was honest, knowledgeable, kind, and funny. I truly appreciate the care that her and her staff showed me today. I can tell they are in the medical profession because they truly care about the wellbeing of people. Dr.Smith will for sure be my go to podiatrist!!

I found Dr. Ribeiro on Yelp so it's only fair that I pay it forward with a review. I've had flat…read morefeet my entire life, ankle problems since I broke it in the 6th grade, and arthritis in my foot about about 4 years now. All of that and I still can't stop playing basketball and running around outside like a big kid. Needless to say, I hurt on a pretty regular basis. I've been to other practitioners who usually just focus on one of my issues, leading to minimal relief because they're all pretty interrelated. Dr. Ribeiro is the first person to treat my pain and then offer exercises and orthotics for strength and support. She has a great bedside manner, listens, and is very analytical in her assessment. That's a rarity with the medical professionals in this area who have a habit of trying to rush appointments and get you out the door in 10 minutes or less (after you've waited in the lobby for 30!). My discomfort is noticeably less frequent so I wont be seeing her as much as I've seen other practitioners for my lower extremity issues but she is definitely my choice for foot & ankle care.

Three months of dealing with a nagging Achilles' tendon strain led me to reconnect with Dr…read more Ribeiro. The pain would start early in the morning, as soon as I hit the floor, then subside after about 2 hours. During the pain period, I would have to stretch the tendon then continue with my normal activities. I contacted the office and was able to get an early appt with no problem. Next, I downloaded and completed the new patient forms in advance to speed processing. Shortly after I arrived, Dr. Ribiero did a physical exam then captured 3 different X-rays and explained the images. Luckily, I had no bone spurs, calcification, etc. but thanks to the X-rays she did noticed a slight drop in one of my arches. She gave me a prescription for an anti inflammatory, a sheet with recommended Achilles stretches, and recommendations to her fave running stores to get sneakers and inserts to more adequately support my high arches. My strain and pain have improved substantially and it's only been 3 days. The good doctor believes this issue will completely go away as long as I'm careful and continue the course of treatment. I absolutely love Dr. Ribeiro's chair-side manner and her new contemporary office. If you have any foot or ankle issues, give her a try. She very thorough and cares about her patients!

I would not recommend Dr. Mendelsohn and this practice at all. For many reasons which I'll list…read morehere: 1) There are multiple names for this practice at this location: 1313 Dolley Madison Blvd Suite 403, McLean, VA 22101. Text messages state "Foot & Ankle Specialist of the Mid-Atlantic", Building sign is "McLean Foot and Ankle Center", and website says "Family foot & Ankle Specialist." Which makes it super confusing to find but easy to cover up when patients have a bad experience and want to leave an honest review. A little digging and I see previous bad reviews on google and the claim is that "Family Foot and Ankle closed in 2021." Well why is the website still up and I can make an online appt with Dr. Mendelsohn and other podiatrist??? At the very least, change your website if this practice has indeed been closed since 2021. They have been gaslighting other patients when they get bad reviews. That's my first red flag. 2) The X-ray machine was old and wobbly. When I went to get an xray for my foot, I had to hold it in place so it would not keep moving. 3) Nobody answers the phone at this practice to be able to ask questions or make appointments. Called about a dozen times over 2 weeks and went to voicemail every time. Had to finally schedule an appt online to pick up my orthotics and didn't have correct option for why I needed to visit. 4) Received multiple text messages and emails nagging me to a pay for a bill for orthotics that had not yet been delivered. The link to pay also did not give an itemized invoice to state what I was paying for. I am not going to pay a bill via an email or text message for things without enough details to ensure it is not a scam nor will I pay for an item that has not been delivered. Poor business practice. 5) It's also ridiculous that I have to pay a $50 Co-pay to come and pick up ordered product when Dr. Mendelsohn barely did anything to ensure fit aside from cutting it to size (which i could have done at home). He did not check to see my stance or my walking gait. He did not check for any areas of pressure or discomfort and make necessary adjustments to ensure the orthotic provides optimal support and comfort and to see if the correction was suitable. I was rushed in and out. He literally spent less than 5mins w/ me and handed me paper with info on orthodics. 6) Had to repeatedly ask for an itemized invoice and receipt to be able to use for HSA account reimbursement and was only given a printed out ledger. Then the office manager argued with me that it should work fine for HSA reimbursement. I know it won't for my HSA reimbursement b/c I've tried multiple times with other ledgers from other practices and have always been denied. Honestly, I spent more time trying to get an invoice than I did getting seen by Dr. Mendelsohn. 7) My feet still hurt and I refuse to waste my time and money going to a practice that does not answer phones, has shady business practices, and the Dr. rushes you in and out. Bottom line: WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, POOR BUSINESS PRACTICES, INSUFFICIENT MEDICAL CARE, I DO NOT TRUST A THING THEY SAY.

I had injured my ankle and was nervous with the treatment I was getting from the Orthopedic Foot…read moreand Ankle Center. Or lack of treatment rather. I knew I had a fracture and my foot was swollen, bruised and getting worse over 11 days since my injury. I called to get a second opinion when my now former doctor kept ignoring my concerns of increased swelling pain. Beginning with the receptionist that answered my call who actually showed concern for my situation and got me in the same day to see Dr. Nodelman. Dr. Nodelman truly listened to my situation, conducted a very thorough exam, new x-rays and identified fractures Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Center never did! I had been walking on this foot until now! My only regret is that I didn't come to see Dr. Nodelman first. He ordered a CT scan to further evaluate the extent of my injuries. He genuinely cares about what he does, and doesn't chalk it up to just a sprained ankle.
