As an athlete, I have been to Dr Soomekh for a number of foot problems- from Plantar Fasciitis to damaged toenails (all due to running). He is so smart and takes his time to ensure that we look at all options before proceeding with any treatment. While I hope no one ever has to experience foot and ankle problems, rest assured that if you see Dr Soomekh you are in the best of hands.

Dr. Soomekh is a wonderful podiatrist. I was referred to him by another doctor about a bunion. He was thorough in his examination, and explained my options in great detail. He provided me with a remedy other than surgery, and I am so relieved. His offices are immaculate and beautiful, and his staff are first-rate.

Expert care, knowledge, professionalism and a friendly manner are all ways I would describe Dr. Soomekh. I have been to other podiatrists, but was never fully happy until I started seeing Dr. Soomekh. In my most recent visit, he zeroed in on the cause of my pain and knew just what to do to relieve it. I have full confidence in him.
