Dr. Damon Namvar has been my podiatrist for over two years. He took over my care after his…read moreassociate, Dr. Spencer Lockson, retired in December 2015. I was crazy about Dr. Lockson, had seen him for years, and was convinced no podiatrist could ever provide as terrific care as he. I was wrong. Dr. Namvar was not new to the office; I had just never had the occasion to meet him. When I, a long-term brittle diabetic, developed an ulcer under a big toe in January 2016, Dr. Namvar immediately took over my care. (I had no time to wait until Dr. Lockson's replacement, a woman named Roya Mirmiran, was to start in the spring.) The ulcer worsened and reached the bone, and the diagnosis soon became osteomyelitis. I required daily outpatient IV antibiotic therapy at adjacent Sutter Hospital for six months. I credit wonderful Dr. Namvar for not only saving my toe from amputation, but also for pulling me through two more almost consecutive bouts of osteomyelitis on different toes. I saw him every single week for nearly two years. We developed a warm, sincere relationship based on mutual trust and the ability to speak frankly to each other. Dr. Namvar never once gave me the impression he was rushed. He always made me feel I was his most important patient, and I'm quite certain everyone else feels the same way, too. Quite a few times he called me at home in the evening to see how I was doing after an in-office procedure or to deliver lab results. All of my long list of physicians are at the UCD Medical Center, where I have been a patient for over 25 years. I formerly had a fabulous podiatrist there who, unfortunately, left quite some years ago. In its infinite wisdom, the powers that be at this behemoth center decided NOT to replace her, leaving its Sacramento patients without a podiatrist. I refused to drive to Carmichael or farther, and that is how I ended up with Sutter's Spencer Lockson, who came highly praised by a diabetic friend. In sum, I cannot imagine having a more intelligent, caring, kind doctor than Damon Namvar. He has led me through some difficult times with patience, humor, and total understanding. Without hesitation, I believe he is the finest doctor I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I recommend him unconditionally, as well as his partner, Dr. Mirmiran. Final note: The cover story of Sacramento Magazine's Dec. '17 issue was entitled "Best Doctors in Sacramento." Under the heading podiatrists, the only doctors listed who are not Kaiser docs are Dr. Namvar and Dr. Mirmiran.

**Short review: they will charge you $235 to walk in the door (not covered by most insurance)…read more Front desk lady called and harassed me, called me an idiot, left mean voicemails and sent me to collections w/o allowing me to dispute anything. RUN from this place! June 2021 I made an appt bc my foot hurt and I was worried something was wrong. They were nice and had an open schedule so they got me in. At the appt I met with Dr. Annalisa who was polite and professional and talked to me for about 10 mins and then took an x-ray at her office. She called a couple days later and said my foot was fine and to not worry about it, just keep going about my life. I was relieved, so I did. It wasn't until late July 21 that I was worried I never got follow up paperwork or any documentation on scan etc, so I called the office to tell them. I even asked if it was correct I never got an insurance statement. They said the acct was all settled up and no paperwork was due so I thought that was how they do business and that was that. Fast fwd to December when a very agressive lady called me and started making demands. She said she was w/Olympic Foot and Ankle and wondered why I hadn't paid my bill? I told her the story about never getting anything to which she cut me off and said they had mailed a lot of letters. It was odd because I had not moved and received no letters. She then started rattling off charges like a "new patient fee." I told her that was likely a misunderstanding because I wasn't becoming a patient, I just came in for a scan. She was aggressive and said if I was new I had to pay $235! While I pushed back that was a lot, I asked if she could get the Dr (who was nice as I remembered) to call and we could discuss? I explained it was likely a mix up and I'd be happy to work it out. She said I also had to pay $55 for the scan. I said, OK can I pay for that and wait for the Dr to call back about new patient, and asked if that was ok. She started raising her voice and getting mean, I tried to stop her but she wouldn't and said if I didn't pay the $235 she would send me to collections! I couldn't handle it, I hung up. Link below is half the video, the first half is her saying she's personally sending me to collections, the second half is her saying I'm stupid and don't know what a city/state is and talking about things she knows nothing about regarding my formal education - she tells me 'I should go back to college because I don't sound that bright on the phone" while she works as a receptionist at a foot doctors office. Also, they did send me to collections and I explained to the collections agency my situation. They called the office and also tried to reach a more senior person to get to the bottom of it and come to a resolve. They called w/the msg that the patient wanted to pay for the scan and wanted to plead my case. They also couldn't get anywhere with the staff. The collections agency noticed the office LIED on the paperwork about the service date being June of 2023, which this was 2021. Since they did so the collection agency fired them - they told me it was resolved for them and I''d be removed from their system! Fast forward to March 2024, they have started sending statements again. If you have any kind of foot or ankle, RUN!! Recording can be listened to here: https://rb.gy/onnvls
