Greetings, I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for 3 things. 1) the incredible customer/client centricity of you office, 2) I was operated on both feet by Chris Kassaris - who also fitted me for orthotics - and I am now back to running and enjoying a great life, 3) Chris recommended a PT specialist to get me 'pushed' to heal. Paddy's therapist Konstantina Paschalides pushed me to heal but in a very controlled and professional mode. Many thanks to both of your organizations.

Dear Dr. Hendizadeh ,

"Thank you" sounds so inadequate to express my deepest appreciation for all you have done for me. I am writing this testimonial so that others may benefit from my experiences. I want people to know:

I no longer suffer from the extreme foot pain that brought me to Associated Podiatrists. Dr. Hendizadeh operated and corrected my anomalies of both feet; my right foot in 2007 and my left foot in 2008. The deformities are gone; my feet have been reconstructed to the degree that I can now wear shoes, drive a car, walk several miles at one time, dance if I care to, stand for long periods of time (especially in the kitchen), and simply stated, I have regained my life...pain free thanks to Dr. Hendizadeh's skills, caring and compassion.

The staff at the office is just as lovely, and make a Dr's visit a most pleasant experience. I have always been treated with courtesy and respect, and I can only hope others with any foot difficulties will find their way to this office. They will be well cared for, as was I. - V. Reilly, 2009

Dear Dr. Kassaris,

"I would like to thank you for treating my feet on Wednesday. Your compassion and generosity is deeply appreciated. Thank you again." -Stephanie Reis, August 2009

"I had toe nail fungus for about 2 1/2 years. I tried every home remedy as well as topical cream, but nothing worked. My dermatologist talked me into taking a prescription drug called Lamisil. Even though I was totally against taking the drug, I decided to do it because I couldn't stand the look of my feet any longer.

Just when I began the Lamisil, I went to see Dr. Hendizadeh and he told me about a laser procedure that would kill the fungus. I was beyond thrilled and decided to have the procedure. It took a few painless minutes and within a few months my toes were perfect. I'm so happy to have had the laser procedure and would definitely recommend it to everyone. The best part was that I didn't have to take the Lamisil!" - Joanne DeLuca, 8/6/2009

Dr. Yale,
"I have been your patient since September of 2008 as you know. I wanted to thank you for the excellent care you have provided to my special foot condition. The improvement in my toe nails is dramatic and I'm very pleased with the progress. To often in our daily lives we forget to thank the people that do a great job. You have done a terrific service for me! If you ever need a patient recommendation, I would be happy to provide that for you." - Philip Pinkert, 7-13-2009

Dear Dr. Herman,
"On November 14th I had an accident involving my big toe and a counter top. Needless to say, my big toe was the loser! My parent's drove me to the emergency room, and I wounded up being examined and eventually was referred to Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh in Fairfield.

I always look on the bright side of things. Thank goodness only one toe and one foot was injured. Thank goodness I was treated quickly, and thank goodness I was referred to Dr. Hendizadeh. The treatment lasted 17 weeks and wore a boot and a bone stimulator ten hours a day for 74 days. I am relieved and happy to have my toe, to be able to walk properly again, and to have shoes that fit.

It was a fortuitous decision to go to St. Vincent Emergency room and I was lucky to be referred to see Dr. Hendizadeh. It should be good for you to know that doctors that you recommend are truly good people doing a great job." S. Monaco - March 20, 2007

"I wanted to send all of you a quick thank you note. I found myself in your office last week with no appointment and a sore toe (still in denial that it was a wart!) Your staff took me in and provided the best, most friendly service I think I've ever received! I actually would have preferred to hang out with all of you then to head into work. My follow up visit a week later was just as great. Dr. Kassaris and all of the girls at the desk are simply fantastic! This is the one doctor's office I look forward to returning to! I'll refer all of my friends to your office and will even tell my PCP about your office in the hopes that they will refer additional patients your way. Thank you so much!!" N. Toolen - January 2009

Dr. Doctor Hendizadeh and staff,
"I would like to thank each and every one for the wonderful care I received when I fractured my foot this past spring. This was a totally new experience for me, as I had never had a broken bone in my life, but the doctor and staff alleviated any fears I might have had. I would highly recommend Dr. Hendizadeh for anyone with feet issues, whether it's a fracture or pain." K. Steelman

"I had foot surgery for bunions in June 2005 and I am very pleased with results. Dr. Hendizadeh was very competent and understanding during my recovery process. I was so happy with the final results of my first surgery that I am having my other foot done in January 2006." - K. McGurk, 01-03-2006

"For more than 35 years I experienced excruciating foot pain. During those years, every podiatrist I visited told me that there was nothing that could be done and I would have to live with the pain. My feet became so painful that I could not walk more than a few feet. My ankles looked like giant grapefruits. My blood pressure became extremely elevated.

Fortunately, I discovered Dr. Hendizadeh. He informed me that he could perform surgery that could relieve a majority of my pain. After his performing surgery on my feet, I found that he had understated the results. I have virtually no foot pain! I am able to walk for miles, stand for hours, have normal-sized ankles, and my blood pressure has returned to normal. To say the least, I am ecstatic with the results!

I would heartily recommend that anyone with foot problems arrange a visit with Dr. Hendizadeh and his staff. Their expertise, care and concern for their patients will certainly make your visit worthwhile." - R. Bush, 01-03-2006

"We have been patients of Dr. Hendizadeh's for a few years and have been very pleased with his knowledgeable care and expertise, especially for some unusual issues that have come along concerning my son. We travel from Stamford to Fairfield because of the friendliness and care of the doctors and the staff." - D. Muller, 12-08-2005

"Thankfully I saw Associated Podiatrists of Fairfield's advertisement in the local paper about treatment for heel pain.

I have suffered with Plantar Fasciitis for a long time and had tried all the conservative therapy that was available and certainly did not want to face surgery. I made an appointment with Dr. Hendizadeh and he was the only person who even offered an alternative to surgery for me. I underwent a simple, painless procedure known as shock wave therapy and have not been plagued by this painful condition since. He and his office staff were extremely accommodating to me and were very pleasant to deal with. I would highly recommend this procedure to anyone who has suffered with Plantar Fasciitis and has tried all conservative therapies available without a successful outcome." - E. Curley, 12-07-2005

"I have diabetes and have been seeing Dr. Hendizadeh as a patient for five years. On two occasions I have had foot surgery performed by Dr. Hendizadeh. I am very pleased with the care I have received." - F. Miller, 12-05-2005

"I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for the past thirty years and have always appreciated that proper foot care is important to maintain a healthy and normal lifestyle. Dr. Hendizadeh has proven to provide expert preventive maintenance and advice on avoiding any complications. Problems were caught early and dealt with in a professional, caring and cautious manner, always thinking about ensuring proper foot health for the future. He never made any radical or hurried decisions, and took the time to explain the details of the situations and my options. Any decisions or recommendations he has made always took into consideration my overall health. In addition, the office staff has been exceptionally friendly and helpful. I trust Dr. Hendizadeh and he has prevented complications from Type 1 Diabetes from negatively affecting my life." - E. Ramik, 2-06-2006
