Bunions
Bunions involve misalignment of the big toe joint, causing swelling and tenderness. Our practice provides comprehensive treatment options ranging from conservative care with orthotics to surgical correction. We specialize in minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time while addressing both the cosmetic and functional aspects of this common foot condition.
Heel Pain
Heel pain often stems from plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the foot's connective tissue. We offer diagnostic evaluation using advanced imaging and provide customized treatment plans including orthotics, physical therapy, and injection therapies. Our approach focuses on long-term relief through both conservative management and surgical intervention when necessary.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized care for diabetic patients prevents and treats foot complications like ulcers and infections. We provide regular check-ups, wound care, and custom footwear solutions. Our limb salvage expertise helps patients avoid amputations through early intervention and comprehensive management of diabetes-related foot conditions.
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains require proper diagnosis and treatment to prevent chronic instability. We offer acute care management and rehabilitation programs for ligament injuries. Our treatment approach combines immobilization techniques, physical therapy, and surgical repair options to restore function and prevent recurrent sprains.

Flat feet can cause pain and mobility issues. We provide diagnostic evaluation and treatment options including custom orthotics, shoe modifications, and surgical correction. Our approach addresses both pediatric and adult flat foot conditions, focusing on improving foot function and reducing discomfort during daily activities.

I recently needed to have my hammer toes straightened. I was able to get into see
Dr. Akhbari within a week, and as soon as my insurance approved it, I was in the office with the first surgery. I felt the Dr. had a complete and total handle on the situation. His bright smile would put the most timid at ease. He kept me engaged in conversation the entire time and before i knew it (appx 5 min) the surgery on BOTH toes was over!!! I am about 8 weeks out since surgery was done on the second foot and couldn't be happier. My toes are straight, no lasting effects, and my toes no longer rub in my

Dr. Akhbari is a genuine class act, and definitely the doctor to see. I told him of the situation of my foot, and upon further inspection of my other foot,he recommended the same procedure so I would not have issues in the future. After the minor surgery was performed, and following his instructions, over the next week, I had absolutely zero pain, and since then, no regrown. Him and his staff are amazing. Highly recommended. Go make that appointment. You will not be disappointed

Dr. Akhbari is a great foot and ankle specialist. We were visiting from out of state and had to go see someone for an animal bite. He was able to fit us in his busy schedule, same day, and offer me a very thorough treatment. He is very knowledgeable and his office staff are very patient and courteous. Couldn't ask for more! I highly recommend him for your foot issues!
