Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

caring doctor
Dr. Fararjian has been treating my kids for past several years with their severely uneven feet and after about 3 years they are as normal as they can be and no more pain and they feel confident. I am grateful for the doctor's care and attention and wanted to leave this review for her.

Heel pain
I saw Dr Elle for severe heel pain. She was able to get me back on my feet with three sound waves treatments and PRP type injections. I got my active life back and I am so grateful! The best part was no anesthesia, no surgery and no downtime…..Thanks Dr Elle????

Sales, sales, sales
The doctor took out a scalpel and proceeded to go towards my foot within the first 5 minutes of my first appointment. She didn’t hear why I had even come to her office that day. The rest of the appointment (5 minutes) was spent on trying to sell me orthotics. No explanation or reason given as to how or why the orthotics could be helpful. I left feeling as though I had not even seen a doctor. I was asked for a $200 deposit on the orthotics, which took 2 weeks to be returned to me, once I decided not to go forward with the orthotics. Unbelievable!

BOY DID I GET LUCKY
I'm a 78 yr old retired Fire Captain and Army Veteran who's very discriminating when it comes to doctors. Without any referrals for a Podiatrist, I turned to Google for one closest to me and GOT LUCKY 'cause it was Dr. Elle Farajian. To cut to the chase Dr Farajian does everything and does it well. From foot surgery to straighten my toes to severe ingrown toenails to plantar fasciitis she's excellent at her craft. To top it off, she's also just "one of the boys" or girls if you so choose. Personable with a sense of humor plus an excellent physician. I couldn't be happier...

Excellent physician!
Dr. Farajian is excellent physician. She took her time obtaining a history and conversing to my mom. She has a holistic approach and evaluates the entire patient, not just the feet. She also has very good bedside manner. Staff is also very caring and courteous. My mom was immediately able to ambulate much better after the visit/treatment. I would definitely recommend that you see her if you have an ankle or foot disorder.

Highly recommend Dr. Farajian
Dr. Farajian is a very thorough and caring podiatrist who will take the time to assess your needs. Five years ago, I had stem cells injected for plantar fasciitis and the pain left completely and has not returned. Now, I just had an injection in my other foot and the pain is already diminishing and I expect great results. She does her research to find the best providers. I highly recommend her!!

Recent Visit to Podiatrist, Dr. Elle Farajian
For anyone with foot or ankle problems, I give my strongest recommendation to Dr. Elle Farajian. She is a kind and caring professional who listens to your problem and provides you with a clear and concise explanation and offers recommended solutions in terms that are easy for a layman (like me) to understand. I had a minor procedure on a toe and felt no pain during the entire process which provided me with major relief and made it much more comfortable to walk. She also realized that I badly needed orthotics and those devices have helped me immensely. She is an outstanding podiatrist and is the person to see if you have foot or ankle problems.

Can't speak to the great reviews posted by other people because we never made it to the surgery, but Dr. Farajian’s pre-op was a complete failure. After putting us through the time and expense of preparing for a questionable foot surgery she peddled, this doctor canceled the surgery less than 24 hours prior to the appointment, citing she didn't feel comfortable moving forward given information she should have already been aware of had her pre-op been done professionally. Having gone through eight surgical procedures myself, I can say with confidence that this has been the most unprofessional and inconvenient experience with a doctor I have ever gone through. Suffice it to say, it's fortunate that it happened prior to surgery and not after, as who knows what other corners she is accustomed to cutting. If contemplating being treated by this doctor, make sure and not be mislead by the "unusually" high number of only good reviews, and do your own research on whether you want to put you

I am an avid cyclist/spinner for more than 24 years, and Dr. Farajian saved my foot! I saw her 7 months ago for a severe arthritis on my big toe joint. I was sad because I could not cycle due to the unbearable pain. After she operated on my foot, I was able to get back on the bike! I was truly impressed by her knowledge, skill, bedside manner, and above all her kindness. Thank you so much

Dr Farajian is wonderful! I really appreciated her taking the time talking me through what I needed to do to correct my hammer toe and preparing me for the procedure. She calmed my nerves with her calm demeanor and made the process go more smoothly than anticipated. Thank you so much for your genuine care!

I can finally walk for long distances without foot pain!!. I was born with a deformed left foot and had custom orthotics made by 2 other podiatrists in the past, but they were never comfortable for long distance walking. Dr Farajian took the time to analyze the problem and recommended custom orthotics and braces. After taking her time to adjust the orthotics, I am now a happy walker. I highly recommend visiting Dr Farajian and her wonderful staff for all foot and ankle issues.

I was originally seeing another Podiatrist. Dr Farajian was referred to me by one of the female runners in our group. I initially went to her to operate on my painful Hammertoes and I could not be happier with the results, She is very through and caring, I recently went back to her as I was suffering from a debilitating Achilles tendinitis. She knew exactly what to do and I ended up having Stem cell injections and Orthotics made for my Marathons, I am doing amazing and so grateful to her skills & bedside manners! Highly recommend her! I highly recommend her!

I have been a patient of Dr. Farajian for almost four years. In over thirty years of treatment by podiatrists, she is the best one I have ever had. She is innovative in her treatment plans, has a wonderful bedside manner, and her office staff is helpful and courteous. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Farajian and give her the highest possible rating.
