Testimonials & Reviews

I was very satisfied with my appt-

Very good.

Having a fractured ankle is doable when having the support of expert doctor & staff.

VERY GOOD DOCTOR !!!

Marcia is TERRIFIC! She's friendly, helpful, and efficient. We always enjoy our visits with her. The orthotics she provides us are excellent.

Dr. Cuttica's experience and knowledge were reassuring and prevented unnecessary surgery recommended by other foot specialist. He was open to and answered all questions/concerns and made treatment/rehab recommendations based on exam and X-rays. Matt and the physical therapy team were supportive and encouraging and recovery was thorough, quick and effective.

Very nice doctor and very friendly and helpful staff. Little wait time. Just received cortisone shots.

Pain is sometimes very difficult to describe, especially the one you have lived with for a long time. Dr. Cuttica demonstrated quick understanding of what I was trying to describe, guided me to better articulate types and locations of pain, and gave me clear descriptions of what’s possibly going on and what we can do about it. I felt more hopeful about my condition and more motivated about physical therapy after meeting with Dr. Cuttica.

Dr. Black is accomplished and his work is thorough. From check-in to completion it was an excellent visit.

Kat is professional, very communicative and explains everything fully. She has the patients best interest at heart and is very thorough. I would highly recommend her to anyone, but especially to anyone doing sports. She is very patient and willing to work with people.

Everything was great, smooth and professional

Fantastic

Dr Black was very professional, efficient, and approachable. Highly recommend.

Dr. Neufeld is exceptional! His PA Catherine, is top notch, showed patience, care and answered all my questions. A recommendation brought me to Dr. Neufeld after bunionectomy surgeries (L/R) with a different surgeon/practice years earlier resulted in continued pain and inflammation even after numerous shots, I thought nothing could be done to help alleviate significant discomfort. From the 1st visit, Dr. Neufeld said he could fix my feet and he has! Marsha, an orthotics expert no one better, surgery, 6wks onsite PT w/ Matt who taught me how to walk properly after years of pain. I highly recommend Dr. Neufeld. If you are suffering, he can help! He handled very difficult challenging feet issues I had so I could enjoy walking and exercising, making life easier and happier. The office staff are efficient, professional, attentive and responsive. This practice truly is amazing.

Caring, knowledgeable, and well organized office.

doctor Sanders guided us through the whole process of our son’s broken arm from the beginning to the end. He kept a good attitude which made our son feel comfortable. He was amazing!

Dr. Black did a first rate job to alleviate my problems.

Dr Cuttica is wonderful! I have been seeing him for the past several years for ankle injuries I sustained years ago and didn't treat at the time; he always listens patiently and offers treatment alternatives until we find what works best for me. I have already recommended this practice to several colleagues.

Great care, efficient practice, really nice people!

Excellent experience with Dr Sanders and PT . the arlington office is super convenient and easy to get in and out of. Highly recommend

After a number of Doctors over a 2 1/2 period told me it was just arthritis in my foot, Dr Neufeld recognized a torn peroneal tendon and Sinus Tarsi Syndrome. He recommended surgery, which I had just 2 weeks ago; and so far, everything is going very well. The office staff has always been very polite and extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend Dr Neufeld and his fellow associates.

I’ve been seen by many physicians and surgeons over the years for my ankle problems, but Dr Neufeld is one of the most knowledgeable, personable, and persistent. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone needing foot or ankle care, and have actually done so several times. Thank you for your care.

Great service from all of the staff. Always kind and know what they are talking about

When our son broke his ankle at a wrestling tournament, we had two priorities: get him the best care possible and ensure that he was able to return to his sport at 100%. Dr. Sanders proved to be the perfect balance between caution and aggressiveness. The ankle is a complex joint and if treated incorrectly can lead to lifelong problems. I am happy to say that, due to Dr. Sander’s extreme capability, my son’s ankle has fully recovered, he has returned to the mat with no limitations due to his surgery. We are thankful for the treatment our son received from Dr. Sanders. He comes with our highest recommendation.

Fantastic experience. Great doctor, friendly staff. A+ through and through

It’s been exactly a year since my second ankle surgery. I really want to thank you: with the removal of the plate, screws and a big chunk of the scar tissue, it’s been an amazing year. After physical therapy, I’ve walked and biked hundreds of miles and taken lots of Solidcore and yoga classes. Most importantly, my ankle no longer gets sore, locks up stiffly, or predicts humid weather. My ankle has healed so beautifully that I can’t tell which was one broken. I’m deeply grateful.”

Great care, no waiting.

I really trust Dr. Black. He is always friendly, approachable and willing to answer any questions I may have.

I saw Dr. Sanders for my 2 Year check up on my ankle replacement. The office staff and Dr. Sanders are so pleasant and efficient.

Dr. Black is great...always friendly, helpful and professional.

Good visit. No wait. Dr Black was nice and seemed knowledgeable.

Great--answered all my questions and described his experience. Will definitely schedule surgery with Dr. Neufeld.

Dr Cuttica takes time to listen and very patient focus with his treatment

The best foot doctor around with a fun sense of humor !

People where nice and sensitive to my needs. The facility seemed crowded with things in hallways like trash cans

Dr. Sanders was kind, patient and very helpful. My overall experience was excellent!

Kind knowledgeable dr

Fast. Painless, doctor and nurses were great.

Dr. Cuttica is always professional, a great listener. He’s willing to take suggestions, work with them and me to think through my issues, and make a recommendation. He knows what he’s talking about! One of my favorite doctors.

I didn’t get surgery. I have other issues to resolve, but I thought he handled it well... provided support treatment to improve the situation and when I can resolve the allergy issues, I will be back for the full treatment.

So far it has been updated quickly and accurately! I love Dr. Cuttica

After months of suffering with plantar fasciitis, Dr Neufeld suggested a treatment that gave me lasting relief. The entire staff I engaged with at Inova Foot and Ankle were knowledgeable, professional, and approachable.

Dr Neufeld is the best foot and ankle doctor in the area. He replaced my ankle 6 years ago and I have been doing great ever since. He is a very caring doctor who takes time to explain everything thoroughly and answers all your questions. I highly recommend him. **********

Dr. Black is patient, informative and kind. He was helpful in describing our medical problem and instructed us for self care.

Great service!

Just had my annual checkup and fitting for new orthotics. Laid back office visit with a great staff. Nate is very thorough and has a wealth of knowledge. Never feel rushed and leave with all my questions satisfactorily addressed! Great practice!

Perfect fit orthotics every time!! Always comfortable, right off the bat! Don’t want to go without them!

Our (my husband and my) appointment with Ms. Jennifer went well. Jennifer examined my feet for possible fitting of diabetic shoes, took measurements and recommended the option of ordering a few styles to get the best fit. We finished with a plan to order the shoes and then return for a fitting when the shoes arrived. We could then decide the best style for my feet. Jennifer also offered that if any customization of the shoes was needed, she would add material or modify an orthodic to get the best result. This took place about one month ago.

Dr Black addressed my issue quickly and completely.

Dr. Cuttica is the best! He’s been treating my foot & ankle issues for a few years, including what turned out to be a rare condition I had been trying to get diagnosed for a long time before seeing him. I know I’m in great hands, & I refer people to him, & the office as it comes up. Don’t know what I would do without his expertise!

Great help from Jennifer after discovering one legis shorter than the other. She is my expert for orthotics.

great

My feet and ankles have taken a beating over the years with the sports I played throughout the years. Dr Neufeld eliminated my pain when he suggested a total ankle replacement. I’m back with no pain. I trust him completely.

I had very good expirance

Great Experience. Takes the time to fully assess the condition she is treating, explained the planned course of action

Dr. Cuttica is an excellent doctor. I have had both Achilles’ tendons operated on and both were successful and well done. He cares and gives you the time you need during the visits with him.

Dr. Sanders has/is rendering excellent health care pertaining to my ankle problems. I am completely satisfied with his services and will continue to reach out to him as needs dictate.

Dr Sanders was very friendly and took the time to review my MRI and X-ray and explain in detail all of my issues. He answered all of my questions about my upcoming surgery. I am glad he is my doctor.

Dr. Cuttica was personable and thorough. He quickly addressed the reason for my visit and prescribed the orthotics I needed.

Marcia is excellent! I come from Bethesda to receive her service! And have recommended her to friends!

He’s very informative and thorough.

Dr. Neufelf was professional, kind and knowledgeable!

Jennifer was very efficient, helpful and accommodating. Also personable!

Marcia has made orthodics for me in the past and she did an excellent job then as well as this time. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are perfect and that I am happy with them.

I have been putting of this surgery for 10 years. Dr Neufeld took care of the problem and I’m very grateful. Thank you. I’m in recovery and feel great

Jennifer Sippel is a genious. I'm a 56-year-old about to run her first marathon with tendonitis in my left ankle, weak hip abductors, and I supinate (tend to walk or run with my weight on the outside edges of my feet). Jen, along with Dr. Cuttica and physical therapist Kat Torre, has designed and molded the orthotics that keep me running strong through four half-marathons this year. She just gave me a tune-up with my first marathon fewer than six weeks away. I noticed a difference immediately in my short and long runs. I can't say enough about Jen and this practice in general. It takes a lot to keep an old woman running this far, but their individualized attention is exactly what I needed. Thank you, all.

Dan is awesome

My experience was great and worth the drive from DC to Falls Church.

Good diagnosis of my foot problem.

Everyone in the office was so pleasant and the doctor appointment went well and he explained everything very well too:

The office staff was very friendly, very helpful, and still very professional. I appreciated Dr. Neufeld’s kind manner and also not feeling rushed during my app’t.

Friendly staffs and prompt. Dr. Neufeld is kind and helpful.

He is so thorough and does a great job explaining

Very good

Dr. Neufeld did a great job of explaining my condition (achilles tendonosis) and my options for treating it.

Staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Neufeld was able to diagnose my problem immediately and proscribed a good treatment without needing any surgery.

Great! Very easy and professional.

Capable, courteous, helpful and warmly human care. He is the best!

Dr. Cuttica is a very caring and patient-centered doctor. He truly listens to the patient and takes time to do a thorough examination. Other doctors I have seen for my ankle issue seem to be in a hurry and quickly prescibed treatment, however Dr. Cuttica made me feel that I was his total focus during my appointment. With Dr. Cuttica I feel confident that I am receiving the right treatment and that I will heal and restore my ankles back to full functioning.

I had two back to back appointments to replace my orthotics: one to see what was going on and to prescribe them and the other to fifth them and make them. Both appointments were smooth and I left with a brand new pair of custom orthotics. The doctor and I chatted like old friends, which made the whole experience more comfortable. I told my husband that he needed to switch doctors to come here as well!

Nate was super! Got a ortho shoe to wear for two weeks. Pain is now gone after one week. He was highly professional and communicative. Have a follow-up visit on 8/16. Looking forward to it. Always fun to meet another Eagle Scout! TK

Camille is great!!

Office visit was very good with Dr. Black. He checked my feet thoroughly and also trimmed my toe nails. Dr. Black is very personable and puts you at ease.

Dr. Cuttica was running a bit behind. Someone came to the exam room to tell me how long the wait was. Never had that happen before. Great idea. He has a great " bedside" manner and is a good listener. I never felt rushed. Just my first visit, but I had a very positive experience.

Dr Cuttica was very knowledgeable and helpful in strategizing plan of action to address my issue.

My pronated, flat feet never felt so good. Marcia and a Jennifer are absolutely wonderful.

Dr. Black was very nice and addressed my concerns. He removed an ingrown toenail and made sure it didn't hurt.

i was seen promptly. everyone was very caring. lovely practice

Professional, informative and patient oriented care that made my surgery experience comfortable and fear free.

Dr. Neufeld was cry professional and thorough in explaining the surgery. I had been to another provider about this and Dr. Neufeld just blew him away. Have already referred a friend with ankle problems to him.

My ankle surgery was very successful. Everyone at the practice treated me professionally and with respect. My pain was managed well, and I am experiencing a successful recovery.

Excellent doctor and staff!!

The physicians and staff at the Foot and Ankle Center are always professional, courteous and helpful. I have never had a bad experience at the Center.

Dr. Neufield is the BEST! Honestly, he is my third opinion (OrthoVA and Georgetown were the others) and is by far the most patient and knowledgeable dr around. He explained things clearly and all makes sense.

Dr. Neufled is a prince of a man. His bedside manner, experience, and professionalism led me to chose him for both a tendon repair and a minimally invasive bunion surgery. His staff is excellent as well. I recommend him to my friends and family regularly.

Customer care was fantastic, always made to feel welcomed with Dr. Black!

Dr. Black and staff are always highly professional. Their competence is obvious and appreciated. Thx to all, including the front desk staff, for their excellent customer service.

Great continuing care.

Fast and efficient

great doctor!

I was at my wits end trying to figure out what to do about my aching feet. Dr. Neufeld gave me pointers and heel cups. Although I'm not completely pain-free, I have seen improvement.

Dr. Black is very professional and efficient. I was seen on time and treated with great respect. I recommend Dr. Black to anyone seeking a skilled podiatrist!

On time, professional and congenial manner

After an initial discussion on a solution to my nail problem, the recommended treatment was perfect and is working.

I can not say enough to express my praise, confidence and appreciation for everything Dr. Cuttica did for me when I suffered a closed displacement fracture of my lateral malleolus of the right fibula and an intra-articular of the right calcaneus. As a surgeon and in his meticulous, kind, competent, and personal follow-up care over the last almost six months since my injury in November 2018, he exemplifies the gold standard of his profession and the best anyone could possibly hope for and respect in a surgeon and dedicated medical caregiver.

The staff is friendly, kind and helpful. The doctor is very knowledgeable and kind.

Great new technology since last visit. Excellent people helping with my problem feet. Can't wait to try on new shoes!

Very attentive, taking time to explain the causes and options for remedies.

An expert in making orthotics that make for happy feet. Don't know what I'd do without her expertise.

He listens!

Professional, pleasant, and I am able to walk without the pain from abnormal nail growth. Dr. Black is a great doctor, and is always patient explaining how best to take care of this discomfort, and sometimes very painful condition! Many thanks to Dr. Arthur Black, Frances L. Collins

Jennifer put forth an effort to meet my needs. She was very helpful. She recommended new shoes from the office to help to solve my foot problem. Very pleased with my visit. Tina

Dr Sanders gave me the best care before and after my surgery. He was very patient and listen carefully to all my concern and answer my questions in a comforting manner.

I was seen by a doctor first, but don't remember his name. He took my history and complaint, then talked with me about what he thought would help. Dr. Neufeld came in later and was cordial. He offered me orthotics, arch support in particular, but I declined for now since my symptoms had calmed down.

Explained my request he was so very nice and solved the problem so to speak — have used the clinic twice before and each time with great success.

Very friendly, courteous & did a great job for my Rt big toe Nail

This was a follow up visit for a toenail fungus problem. This kind of follow up is great.

Absolutely fabulous very professional and answered all my questions thoroughly and was patient with me

Dr Black is wonderful. We enjoy working with him.

Great experience!! Had my very first surgery and Dr. Cuttica walked me through every step. They really make you feel like family. Everyone Is helpful and caring. I would definitely recommend this place. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

All the staffs and Drs are so knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Neufeld saved my almost amputated toe. Thank you!

Best doctor around. Thorough, knows new research and procedures - the best of the best.

I've been seeing Dr. Cuttica for many years now due to extensive arthritis in my ankle, feet, toes. Each time I've seen him, he spends a good amount of time with me explaining my situation and possible solutions. He listens to me, the patient, and together we decide on a plan of action. I like the fact that he treats me as an equal and does not try and talk down to me.

Timely and efficient

Dr. Cuttica was great! I had already seen a different orthopedist at a different medical group but did not feel I had received adequate care. Dr. Cuttica was very thorough in examining my injury, showing me x-rays, and explaining what I should expect during the healing process. He did not lie or provide false hope, but gave me the facts so that I was prepared for what was to come.

Marcia saw that I got into the very right pair of shoes, and Dr. C. was his attentive self.

Respectful team, especially noted within team communication. Supportive of each other to meet time needs for patients and physician too--if one is backed up with a dressing change another individual will gather supplies or step in to assist.

Dr. Black and his team are all very patient even with geriatric patients, which is not always common.

Willing to answer all questions, personable, caring, funny - very comforting experience

Dr Sanders did a great job repairing my foot. He was very supportive and helpful. He also answered all my questions before and after surgery.

Not as much time spent on me this time as the first, but good.

Dr Sanders is very pleasant to work with to repair my ankle. Before surgery and post-op, I have never felt rushed and he answers my questions very thoroughly. I went to 3 doctors before deciding on Dr. Sanders and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

Excellent, compassionate care. Very short wait time.

Dr. Black is great!! I was referred by Dr. Ritu Cuttica when she learned that my husband had been to another doctor who made his toes bleed at every visit.

Doctor Sanders is awesome!

My wife and myself were extremely impressed with Dr. Black we have a new foot doctor.

Very good and informative. I felt reassured I would be taken care of.
