Focused Help for Urgent Wounds and Complex Second Opinions
Need Urgent Care for Foot & Ankle Issues?
A sprain you cannot stand on, a pop at the back of the ankle, a possible broken bone or an infected toenail should be seen quickly. Next-day appointments are available, and same-day when the schedule allows.
Still Struggling After Bunion Surgery?
Persistent pain, recurrent deformity, stiffness or an unsatisfactory correction deserves a fresh look. A revision evaluation considers your symptoms, alignment, imaging and prior procedure before a new plan is discussed.
A Diabetic Foot Wound Should Not Wait
If you or someone you care for has a new, worsening or non-healing diabetic foot wound, call the practice for timely guidance about evaluation, wound care and limb-salvage options.
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Care That Makes a Difference Beyond the Exam Room
Read how patients describe their experience with Dr. Panirian and The Feet Institute.
Dr. Pegah Panirian is an outstanding podiatric surgeon. From the start, she impressed me with her professionalism and warmth. She took time to explain my condition and treatment options clearly, which made me feel confident and at ease. The surgery went smoothly, and I’m thrilled with the results. Dr. Panirian’s follow-up care was excellent, and she was always available for any questions I had.
Soheil Dr. Panirian saw my dad for a complex pain issue with his foot. She treated him with the most empathy and care. We were very concerned due to his pre existing conditions, but she was able to put us ease almost immediately with any concerning diagnosis. I would highly recommend seeing her if you’re looking for a knowledgeable doctor with excellent bedside manner. Thank you Dr. P!
Nicole M I personally experienced the transformative impact of her expertise when she successfully treated a chronic foot condition that had plagued me for years. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking relief from foot pain or discomfort.
