Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Bad experience here!
I am leaving one star because I couldn't leave zero stars. The doctor hurried through the appointment, didn't even bother to look at previous xrays from a week before. The staff was rude. The doctor was rude. Questions weren't answered. This was an awful experience.

Dr. Changizi Is Very Rude & Careless
Dr. Ari Changizi was very arrogant and didn't even bother to look at my medical records. Seemed like he was more interested in racking up a big insurance bill. The medical staff was really sloppy and lost our paper work and didn't bother to apologize or offer any kind "We are sorry for this." They just plowed right through our visit like a cow farmer herding its cows. This is a terrible foot clinic.

My daughter heard about Dr. Changizi from another podiatrist in New York. She decided to visit him while visiting us, her parents, in Old Town Alexandria. What a fantastic recommendation! Not only did the surgery he performed on her have excellent results, but I was persuaded to pay him a visit, as well. I’ve been to a number of podiatrists in the area, and while all nice people, none comes close to offering the superb treatment I received from Dr. Changizi. I cannot recommend this professional highly enough.

Dr. Changizi evaluated my foot pain/problem that I had for 30 years. I had three previous surgeries on that foot with some relief but still had significant pain which was the reason for my initial visit. After ordering and reviewing x-rays, surgery was recommended and explained to me. Within a month, Dr. Changizi performed the surgery and I was finally relieved of the pain I suffered for decades. I’m thankful I met and was treated by Dr. Changizi and highly recommend him.

I recommend Dr. Ari Changizi without reservation. He is an outstanding podiatrist with an excellent bedside manner. He makes it a point to prioritize patient comfort and education. Dr. Changizi made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after a (usually highly unpleasant) surgical procedure. He did such a great job with limiting tissue trauma during my procedure that I healed exceptionally fast and with very little discomfort.
