FAQs
Do I need a referral to make an appointment?
No, you don’t need a referral to make a podiatry appointment. However, some insurance providers might require you to get a referral before they cover the cost of your care. It’s always best to call your insurance provider and ask prior to your appointment, so that you don’t experience any unexpected costs.
Will I have an X-ray during my visit? Does it require a separate appointment?
You may need an X-ray so that the podiatrist can diagnose your foot or ankle problem, but not all patients need X-rays. Your provider also may order different imaging, such as an MRI, if needed. Because we offer in-house X-rays, you might be able to get them on the same day as your appointment. For other imaging, we might need to schedule a separate appointment.

— Dr. Alona Kashanian, DPM review summary"I would have given them a –3 star review, but that was not an option. The worse place to go for feet problems. I forgot to mention that they have no clue about billing issues and all of the nurses except for 1 are rude."
