JASON HIATT, DPM REVIEWS

First time with this Bay Area Foot Care location. I felt comfortable with Dr. Hiatt. He was efficient and straightforward. He removed my damaged toenail, which was the best thing to do; it was relatively painless. He also took a look at a toe with a callous that had a deep, painful spot for a couple of years. He was willing to explore to the spot and found it not to be the usual callous but a small speck of something that had gotten in there. Originally I suspected that there was something embedded in the toe, but no one dug down to see. Getting that out was a nice bonus to my visit. That toe doesn’t hurt at all but the toe without the nail is a little cranky right now.

The staff is professional, and my treatment with Dr. Hiatt went very well. It was my first visit in a series of 3-5. My foot pain was gone immediately, and Dr. Hiatt believes this treatment will cure the pain and discomfort I have been suffering from for years. That evening, I went to my tap classes from 6:30-9:00 p.m. and danced more than I have in ages. Thank you, Dr. Hiatt.

Dr Hiatt is great. He tells me what he thinks about the problem and to handle it. He had a quirky sense of humor that makes me comfortable. I will recommend him to anyone who has a foot problem.

NICHOLAS V. DRBAL, DPM REVIEWS

I’ve had such an amazing experience with Dr. Drbal, very unexpected injury and there was such a fast turn around time for surgery which i appreciated. this is only my second surgery ever and i had nerves going into surgery, the sutter pre surgical team was extremely comforting, and i was pleasantly surprised with how quick it felt. compared to the first this was extremely better during recovery. the last thing i will say is as a young woman, having other female nurses in for pre and post op made me feel extremely safe and comfortable, especially with having to change after surgery, more places should take note of this and use it as a common practice. if you need to have surgery i highly recommend Dr. Drbal!.

I had major surgery on my ankle. Broke my tibia and fibula in 3 places. I have a lot of hardware in my leg now. Dr. Drbal got me in quickly and got me into his surgery schedule immediately. He has been great and explains everything well. I am in my process of healing and he makes sure everything is going smoothly. I highly recommend Dr. Drbal.

Dr. Drbal was amazing ! He listen and understood my problem. Was able to help me with my ingrown nails. He was patient and gentle with the injection. 10/10 recommend!.

AJITHA NAIR, DPM, MPH REVIEWS

I’m an athlete in my 30s and I’ve been to 4 different podiatrists over the last 3-4 years with chronic ankle pain from an old injury. All they did was order X-rays (which showed nothing abnormal) and told me to rest. Dr Nair is the first podiatrist who analyzed my gait, my measured the flexibility of my surrounding muscles and created custom padding for my inserts to correct my foot position in my shoes, and gave me specific exercises to do at home. I started to feel relief immediately and now she’s helping me develop longer term plans for maintenance and deeper healing. She has taken extra time to thoroughly explain what’s going on in my joints in specific terms. I feel so confident in her assessment and treatment— I wish she could be my doctor for everything! I can’t recommend Dr Nair enough for anyone struggling with chronic foot/ankle pain.

Dr. Nair is hands down one of the best doctors I've ever seen. I've been angry for years over a visit with another podiatrist who had told me there was nothing I could do to improve my feet other than surgery. I knew that wasn't true and I am appalled such a doctor could be in practice! Dr. Nair has immediately offered ways to work with me that will improve the health of my feet, my balance and my overall comfort and ability to stay mobile. She's also warm and welcoming! I just can't recommend her highly enough!.

I am a fellow podiatrist and Dr. Nair is one of my favorite colleagues. She is extremely smart, but an even better person. I'd trust my family to see her. Can't recommend more!.
