Sara P.
Fracture Repair
"A broken heel is no fun, but now I am 8 weeks post surgery and am about to be WALKING AGAIN WITH NO BOOT or any assistive devices for that matter. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Sanders and his entire team! Highly Highly Recommend!!!!""
Mark M.
Fractured Leg Repair
"In Sept of 2023, I broke my left leg and you repaired it. You did a great job. Just under a year later, I won my fifth championship at the Northern Virginia Senior Olympics in the 2000 meter erg row by 0.6 seconds. Could not have done it without you."
Julian S.
Achilles Tendon Rupture Repair
" I cannot recommend Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center highly enough for anyone in need of orthopaedic foot and ankle care, especially Achilles tendon rupture surgery. Their commitment to excellence, paired with a patient-centered approach, sets them apart from the other centers I had appointments with for orthopaedic treatment. Dr. Cuttica exhibited unparalleled knowledge and skill, instilling confidence in me from the initial consultation to post-operative care."

Therese M.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery & Hammertoe Correction
"I feel great! There's no more pain in my right foot like there used to be. Occasionally, I might have some aches, but I attribute that to getting older. The swelling I initially had has gone down, and my foot looks a lot better now. I'm a school teacher, so I walk about 7 miles a day, and I can do that without any issues now."
Marion M.
Total Ankle Replacement
"To those considering a total ankle replacement, I would wholeheartedly encourage taking the leap. Reflecting on my journey, I genuinely wish I hadn't prolonged the decision for so long. The positive transformation in my life is significantly attributed to both the procedure itself and the expertise of Dr. Neufeld."
Arezou G.
Metatarsal Fracture
"If anyone gets injured, they shouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. The team at OFAC is incredibly knowledgeable and caring. Overall, it was an excellent experience from check-in to check-out, making you feel like you’re their only patient"

John S.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery and Hammertoe Correction
"Dr. Neufeld is my third foot orthopaedic surgeon and he finally got it right. He fixed all of the foot problems I’ve had in the past from different surgeons and procedures. He’s a highly respected doctor- a “doctor of all doctors” if you will. I’d highly recommend this minimally invasive procedure with Dr. Neufeld."
Martha M.
Great Toe Fusion
"I'm a few months post-op and I feel just fine. Immediately after the surgery I was back on my feet within a day or two. I didn't need any medication afterwards either. Now I'm back to my normal life!"
Qiana R.
Ankle Fusion
"The immediate surgery outcome has been great. My pain is no where near what I was expecting. I’m looking forward to getting back my quality of life and doing things that I enjoy such as being a mom, going to the gym, and just overall life in general."
Lauren K.
Bunionette Correction
"I highly recommend watching the informative videos available on OFAC's website. Personally, I found them helpful in making comparisons with other doctors. I also received pamphlets that provided me with a sense of comfort. Whenever I had questions, I could simply call and leave a message, and I would receive a prompt response."
Rachel E.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"At first, I was very relectuant to do the surgery, but after doing so, I wish I had done it sooner! I highly recommend Dr. Neufeld and his team! "
Carolyn M.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"If you need to have bunion surgery, have Dr. Neufeld do it! "
Karen Y.
Total Ankle Replacement
"I would suggest if you're in any kind of pain, go see The Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Center to get evaluated. Life is too short to live in pain. I have referred two people to see Dr. Neufeld. One had an ankle replacement and one had an ankle fusion. "
“"Thank you Dr. Cuttica and all of the the staff at the Falls Church CAO. Since the surgery over a year ago, I've been able to get back to doing some of those things I couldn't do without significant pain. Excellent surgical skill and experience combined with the physical therapy team on site met my needs as a patient.. and a person through rehabilitation and recovery. With an outstanding level of customer service on all levels, I recommend Falls Church CAO to family & friends."”
-Deidre S.
Maggi W.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"I am a flight attendant, so am on my feet all day. It was becoming increasingly difficult for me to do my job due to the pain in my foot. My whole treatment went EXACTLY as Dr. Neufeld said it would. I felt fine after my treatment and my recovery went according to plan. Surgeons have quoted me recovery times in the past and I found them to be unrealistic. I was pleased that my recovery only took six weeks, just as I was told it would. I was very happy with this surgery and would highly recommend Dr. Neufeld to other patients."
Thomas B.
Total Ankle Replacement
"I had shattered my right ankle in May 1990 while rock climbing. The fibula was so badly damaged, the surgeon replaced part of the bone with a plate. There was significant displacement and the surgeon did the best he could to line everything up to grow back together. For over 30 years the bone fused and created a situation with little to no movement in my ankle. Pain was a daily issue. Total ankle replacement changed my life. Circumstances are always unique, but I would recommend speaking with Dr. Neufeld to see what he might be able to do. I don't feel any pain anymore."
Kevin J.
Achilles Tendon Repair
"It’s been a little over four months since my surgery and while I’m not back to my pre-injury fitness level yet, I’m currently able to jog 2+ miles at time and ride a road bike for 45+ minutes with little difficulty."
Craig S.
Total Ankle Replacement
"After my first appointment with Dr. Neufeld, I was very optimistic about the procedure. Dr. Neufeld has a very positive attitude and interactive style and I am very grateful for what he has done for me."
Jackie V.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"I would strongly suggest going with Dr. Neufeld for any foot or ankle surgery needs. I instantly felt comfortable from the initial consultation all the way through my last post-operation visit. I would also keep in mind that, while it can be annoying at first, you are able to move around in a boot after the surgery, so don’t put off the surgery because you think you have to be bedridden for 4 months."
JoAnne H.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"My advice to anyone contemplating bunion surgery is not to wait. I had the “benefit” of seeing my grandfather and father’s bunions and hammer toes. My grandfather used to cut holes in his shoes and my father eventually just wore very large athletic shoes. I saw my big toes moving and knew what the end result would be. I think having the surgery before other complications arise will also help lessen the complexity of the procedure; and therefore the pain and recovery time. I think Dr. Neufeld is a very skilled foot surgeon and I highly recommend him!"
Ken K.
Total Ankle Replacement
"I underwent surgery for replacement of my right ankle in early November of 2020. The surgery was accomplished by Dr. Steven Neufeld and his first class team. The replacement surgery was performed at the Inova Surgery Center. It was obvious that Dr. Neufeld and the Inova team were perfectly integrated and coordinated. The operation went flawlessly and I was able to go home the same day."
Laszlo B.
Total Ankle Replacement
"Listen to and take the advice of your doctor. Dr. Neufeld said that the procedure would change my life and it did. I can’t thank him enough!"
Louise A.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"I highly recommend Dr. Neufeld and his team (and I have to many friends). First rate! (If I had a “Toes Up” emoji, I’d insert here…)"
Judy S.
Bunionectomy & Hammertoe Release
"Dr. Neufeld's office and staff have been wonderful to deal with, very professional. I am very happy to recommend him for the surgery to anyone that asks. There was absolutely no pain the day of the surgery. It was outpatient and I was there for about 2 hours."
James S.
Total Ankle Replacement
"Dr. Neufeld and his team are the best. I experienced no pain post-op, thanks to a nerve block, and required no narcotics for pain management - just Tylenol. I continue to be pain free. I now walk without a limp and can enjoy outdoor activities?"
Meg L.
Bunion Surgery
"Dr. Cuttica is extremely patient and willing to answer all questions. I never was rushed during appointments."
Katie S.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"My after-surgery experience has been exceptional. I'm walking a normal gait with no pain. Shoes fit, my deformities are gone."
Janet F.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"I would recommend anyone dealing with foot pain to schedule a consultation to see Dr. Neufeld. I was hesitant for a while to seek treatment because I did not want surgery. But, after meeting with him and learning that I was a candidate for minimally invasive surgery I was much more comfortable. The whole surgical process from check-in at the surgery center to returning home was only a couple of hours. Totally worth it! "
“I will never be able to thank you properly for all you have done to ensure my recovery from both foot surgery in the fall and now knee replacement. The quality of my life has improved dramatically thanks to your professional and thoughtful care. You listened with an open mind to all my concerns, answered all my myriad questions, and developed ways to address them well beyond the normal scope of attention.
On a daily basis, and especially when I am once again able to travel, I will think of you and your team and all they did to help me. Thanks again for everything. I am leaving your practice a stronger and more confident person than when I started, and that is a testament to you and your team.”
Eloise S.
Susan B.
Total Ankle Replacement
"I am pleased with the outcome of the surgery and the attention and caution of the staff in the weeks after the surgery, even if that was frustrating for me."
Miles M.
Achilles Tendon Repair
"Don’t hesitate to use Dr. Cuttica if you require surgery on your foot. The one lesson I learned after seeing two podiatrists who couldn’t help me was to go to the best surgeon and don’t waste your time with intermediary people."
Cathleen P.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"If you have been trepidatious about bunion surgery, go see Dr. Neufeld, as he is outstanding. I only wish I had more feet! The minimally invasive procedure was the best decision for me. Minimal pain and downtime and I no longer have to worry about persistent, progressive issues with foot, knee, back and/or hip pain."
Sutton M.
Ankle Ligament Repair
"From top to bottom this team is 100% the most professional and kind group of individuals. Not only are they nice, but they are confident in their abilities and services to the point where everything is seamless."
Ellissia P.
Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery
"I appreciated being listened to and having a doctor like Dr. Neufeld who started with the least invasive approaches to solve my medical issue. I also grateful for the efforts of the staff to assist me and make recommendations to improve my condition."
Joyce G.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
My best advice to potential bunion patients is not to wait so long. I waited because of the well known awful recovery of traditional bunion surgery. With this minimally invasive technique, it should be appealing to more and more folks.
Dale B.
Total Ankle Replacement
"I would highly recommend Dr. Sanders for Ankle Replacement surgery. He was extremely professional and performed a successful surgery for me, improving my quality of life 150%."
Dianne S.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery & Hammertoe Repair
"Prior to surgery, I was unable to wear a number of different shoes due to the bunion and the hammer toe, which were both getting progressively worse. Dr. Neufeld is highly regarded as a top foot surgeon by his peers and the medical community."
Alex S.
Ankle Ligament Reconstruction
"My initial medical issue was swelling of my right ankle and little mobility. I partially tore a ligament on the outside of my ankle and had loose bodies floating in the front of my ankle. Was swollen for about 5 months until I saw Dr. Neufeld. Almost 3 months after and it feels great."
Kevin F.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"I would very much recommend Dr. Neufeld. He was great. The entire staff was great. It was the first surgery I ever had so I was a bit nervous. They took great care of me."
Catherine R.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Neufeld and Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center. My recovery time from the minimally invasive bunion corrective surgery was relatively quick and I gained an improvement in quality of life from being able to walk without pain."
Helen M.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"Dr. Neufeld and his team are amazing. So much so that I will be having my other foot done as well. All I took for pain was Advil and Tylenol."
“This was the most “upbeat” medical (or for that mater professional) office I’ve ever been in! Every employee, top to bottom - Dr to nurse to X-ray tech to check out person, had a smile on their face and friendly responses. I walked out of there feeling GOOD about my condition and, frankly, the future in general. Quite an experience!”
Charles M.
Ryan M.
Achilles Tendon Repair
"if you tear your Achilles Tendon, I would definitely recommend Dr. Nuefeld and The Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Center. They were very profesional and laid back at the same time. After 4 months I was back doing yoga and swimming again. It’s a nice feeling getting back to my normal routine."
Veronica G.
Ankle Replacement Surgery
"The surgery was a complete success, and Dr. Sanders’ follow-up care and attention was excellent. The most remarkable result is the fact that I had absolutely no complications from the surgery."
Gisela S.
Total Ankle Replacement
"It has been 13 months since I had total ankle surgery. I am fully healed and I can honestly say that I have zero ankle pain and I am very nearly 100% free of pain when walking and I will never take that for granted. I no longer feel trapped, I feel free."
Anne Marie P.
Foot Reconstruction
"Although it was quite a process, Grayson is doing fantastically today. He is back to soccer without any issue. His foot is in a great position and it is truly amazing what the surgery was able to do."
Mimi B.
Mid-Foot Fusion
"I had severe foot pain that prevented me from doing pretty much everything. I'm doing much better after a year post-op."
Desiree J.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"Dr. Neufeld is an amazing surgeon. Just be sure you do what they say for recovering your mobility. You will feel wonderful when you no longer feel the constant pain you had before your surgery."
Lisa H.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"The procedure is remarkably easy (for me, not necessarily Dr. Neufeld!) and I’m so glad I did it."
Patricia B.
Bone Spur Removal
"I feel so much better now! I can actually wear regular shoes again. I’m very pleased."
Thomas M.
Total Ankle Replacement
"I was involved in a motor vehicle accident with significant injuries to my legs and ankles. Thanks to Dr. Neufeld, I have my life back. I walk my dogs a measured mile every night. I went hunting in rough terrain last year. My ankles do not stop me from doing anything!"
Carolyn S.
Achilles Tendon Repair
"It is wonderful to be able to walk quickly with no pain and I have been exercising also without pain. I am unbelievably pleased with this operation. And to make it even better, Dr. Neufeld has a great sense of humor (proper) and I cannot say enough about this operation."
Catherine B.
Posterior Tibial Tendon Repair
"I would advise other patients to consult Dr. Neufeld as soon as possible! I wasted so much time accepting the assessment that my mobility would never get any better, and as long as it wasn’t getting any worse, surgery would not improve it. My first appointment with Dr. Neufeld was a day that brought the news I didn’t dare hope to hear! He could fix my tendon and my foot – I would dance again!!"
“I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the peroneal tendon repair surgery performed by Dr. Neufeld on my left foot.
Prior to surgery, I found it painful to even walk short distances on smooth pavement. Since the surgery I have been able to walk pain free for long distances. For example, my wife and I have taken vacation trips to Israel, Spain, Morocco, and Vietnam where we have walked long distances over some difficult terrain. Not once did I experience any pain or even the slightest discomfort with my left ankle.
Words do not do justice to express how much I appreciate the expertise in repairing the peroneal tendon that gave me pain-free mobility over all these years!”
Paul P.
Natasha R.
Ankle Surgery
"Always get a second opinion and make sure it's with Dr. Neufeld and his team. Dr. Neufeld has allowed me to regain my mobility and begin to work out again."
Nancy W.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"The staff was remarkable in that every question I asked, every concern I had, every feeling I expressed were listened to, acknowledged and answered."
Francis G.
Total Ankle Replacement
"Given my injury and the problems it caused, the outcome of this procedure performed by Dr. Neufeld is as close to a miracle as anything I have ever experienced."
Andrew B.
Partially Lacerated Toe
"Dr. Cuttica and his team treated my lacerated toe to prevent infection, ensure proper healing, gave me a boot to make me more mobile, and helped me throughout the healing process. I am back to full mobility; I can run, jump, and exercise as I did prior to my injury. I am completely back to normal."
Margaret G.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"I am now 8 weeks out of surgery and was back to work in 5 weeks. My bunion pain is completely gone. I am walking progressively longer distances and feel great. I no longer use corn pads or toe spacers. My foot looks great. I just have a little forefoot swelling which is normal for several months after the surgery. "
Lisa G.
Achilles Repair Surgery
"I waited so many years hoping that physical therapy would fix my foot because I was so nervous about the surgery, but physical therapy only barely helped me continue to walk. If Dr. Neufeld says he can improve your foot/ankle with surgery or treatment more than what physical therapy can, don’t delay it too long.."
Margaret S.
Bunion Repair
"I had pain for a day or two directly after my surgery, but after that there was minimal pain. With physical therapy I was able to work my way back to how I felt before I ever hurt myself. Now about three months after surgery I am fully cleared and back to playing with no pain and better stability."
Doug S.
Osteotomy
"I saw many other foot doctors and decided Dr. Neufeld was best for me. Don't wait too long to seek medical advice and treatment."
Brian M.
Foot Fracture Surgery
"Dr. Neufeld was very clear and transparent on how I should make my decision to go ahead or not with surgery. I decided to move ahead with surgery. Dr. Neufeld did a great job in the surgery and my recovery was smooth. I called the office a few times for advice and recommendations when I had questions and they were always receptive."
Lowell T.
Bunion Repair
"If you want minimally invasive surgery with an outstanding and caring physician, and an excellent support team, Dr. Neufeld is you surgeon! "
Minh T.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"I was taken by surprise how little discomfort and minimal pain there was after the surgery. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to walk with special shoes a week after surgery. Best of all, I was able to care for myself independently."
Joanne S.
Bunion & Hammertoe Correction
"Before my procedure, I had pain on the ball of my foot during exercise. My left foot could not tolerate weight or pressure."
Chris C.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery
"I would advise anyone needing bunion correction surgery is to come and get it done. The new procedure is well worth the surgery."
"Thank you Dr. Cuttica and all of the the staff at the Falls Church CAO. Since the surgery over a year ago, I've been able to get back to doing some of those things I couldn't do without significant pain.
Excellent surgical skill and experience combined with the physical therapy team on site met my needs as a patient.. and a person through rehabilitation and recovery.
With an outstanding level of customer service on all levels, I recommend Falls Church CAO to family & friends."
- Deidre S.
"Dr. Sanders is super person. He’s a heck of a doctor and a heck of a person. It’s rare you get both. He’s super qualified and raises the bar on medical doctors. If we could, we would adopt him and take him home. We’ve drove over a 100-miles just to get here. In his field he’s very hard to beat around here. He knows what he’s doing. I wouldn’t let distance be a deterrent; if you want a doctor of his caliber, it’s worth driving the distance. All of his staff are excellent as well! As a patient, you will never feel like just a number."
- Michael D.
"I had visited a podiatrist back in 2019, but a friend recommended I seek care elsewhere. She insisted that I should see Dr. Neufeld, who had performed a major foot surgery on her. When I received all the pre and post-operation instructions, I noticed a stark difference. The information was clearly and thoroughly written, making it easy to understand and follow. When you seek clarity and know what needs to be done, it becomes evident. During my sessions here, everyone is highly professional and efficient. This level of professionalism and efficiency is impressive to me. You all are on top of things! I also teach water aerobics, and your name is well-known among the participants."
- Verified Patient
"As an avid runner and former dancer, my feet are the most essential and overlooked workhorses of my athletic life. Recently, I developed debilitating pain in my left foot, which not only sidelined all athletics, but also prevented me from walking around my home. A friend directed me to the care of Dr. Sanders at The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center. His team scheduled me for an initial consult within days. During our appointment, Dr. Sanders thoroughly reviewed my case, provided a treatment plan, and patiently addressed all questions and concerns in layman’s terms (no medical dictionary needed.) He recommended minimally invasive surgery followed by physical therapy, after which I am now back on my feet, both literally and figuratively. I recommend Dr. Sanders’ practiced hands to anyone who is experiencing mobility issues or pain in the lower extremities. Get treated by the expert so you can get back to your life. Cheers to good health!"
- Ameeta J.
"I've had so many other surgeries due to my accident. Once it finally came to it, I was prepared to go through with my ankle replacement. I was ready to get back to my normal life and begin the healing process. My advice for other patients would be to see Dr. Sanders at The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center. He did a phenomenal job in giving my mom and I confidence and reassurance that I would be able to walk again. After my accident I was in a wheelchair, crutches, a brace, and now I'm finally beginning to walk again!"
- Kayden H.
"After having full bunion surgery performed by another doctor on my left foot nearly seven years ago and dealing with the grueling and extensive recovery period, I put off having the bunion on my right foot taken care of because I did not want the same experience. Seven years after the surgery on my left foot, I found Dr. Neufeld. Dr. Neufeld was able to perform the minimally invasive procedure for bunion removal on my right foot and with the aid of a special shoe, I was able to walk out of the surgical center pain free. Dr. Neufeld and his team provided me with excellent care and I am super excited with the results. I can't wait to wear sandals this summer and show off my new foot! I highly recommend Dr. Neufeld and the entire team at The Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Center."
- Gina D.
"I had minimally invasive bunion surgery and am so glad I used Dr Sanders and his team. From initial discussions, to the surgery itself, to post-op care, I've been extremely pleased with the interactions I've had. I've been to this office for ankle problems before and will definitely use the Centers for my next surgery. I have total confidence in their abilities and the care they take."
- Sarah B.
"Dr. Neufeld,
I came to your office to discuss a problem below my ankle (a torn or broken tendon). I had been to other doctors and was not pleased with any of them. One doctor wanted to perform reconstruction on my foot. I put you on the spot and asked what you could do. You were confident that you could repair the problem. Most importantly, you convinced me that you could repair the problem. Later, you also performed the same successful type of surgery on my other foot.
This email is to let you know how happy I am that you performed the surgery. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and what you were able to accomplish. I had to get in touch with you in order to thank you and show my appreciation. I have had a good life and have been able to do things that younger men may envy. I have constantly improved in tennis and for the last ten years, I have competed on the USTA teams. Believe it or not (at age 77) about two months ago I decided to start serving and volleying with some success.
Thanks again for being there when I needed you."
- Edison G.
"I came to Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center with fungal toenails. Later, I experienced excruciating pain in my Achilles tendon, which prevented me from doing my daily activities. My primary care physician referred me to Dr. Black and his team. He initially prescribed a topical ointment for my fungal toenails and later treated my Achilles tendon in January. The treatment was followed by 9 or 10 weeks of physical therapy with Camille and Rachel. They were very patient and understanding, and I highly recommend them! After the treatment, I felt excellent, and the team did an excellent job through their services. My advice for other patients is to be patient because the journey can be challenging. However, with the desire to get better and the right treatment, everything will fall into place. Thank you, Dr. Black, and The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center for giving me my life back!"
- Doris F.
"I suffered a severe dislocated ankle from falling. The pain was unbearable, I couldn't walk normally, and had no weight-bearing. After researching, I found The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center, and I chose Dr. Neufeld for his vast experience in the field. I had ankle surgery ten days after the fall, and I experienced no pain. After my surgery I went to an external physical therapy clinic to finish my recovery treatment. I now have regular range of motion, and it feels like it never happened. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone who needs treatment for their foot or ankle. My advice to other patients is to seek help immediately and trust the professionals at The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center."
- Richard H.
"Back in 1983 in Pakistan my ankle was seriously injured in a helicopter crash. The doctors at the time after the fourth try put a long nail at an angle in my Tibia Bone just above the right ankle to stop the fracture from getting any worse. I was given the option of ankle fusion from day one which I declined so as to continue my flying career in the Military for another ten years.
After I left the Military and came to USA in 1993, I saw various doctors who gave me similar advice and told me that ankle replacement was not possible due to weight restrictions. After all these years my ankle had developed severe arthritis, the bones had shifted to one side and swelling caused immense pain.
I continued my research to find a suitable foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon. Finally, largely from reading about his brilliant professional credentials and record, I decided to seek the opinion of Dr. Steven Neufeld of The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center. What he told me during the initial assessment was enough to convince me to go ahead with the procedure as they could handle the ankle replacement with new technology and implants. After extensive tests the procedure happened on August 24, 2022.
Since then, after a number of visits to The Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center and help from Dr. Steven Neufeld and his competent team, notably Ms. Ashley Holbrook, PA I am able to walk pain free. I will still be undergoing additional Physical Therapy to gain full flexibility in the weeks ahead and I am confident it will get better and better.
I must commend Dr. Steven Neufeld and his team for their professionalism and dedication. I am sure he and his team will continue to treat many more patients like myself.
I am grateful to Dr. Steven Neufeld and his team of professionals for giving me my freedom of movement back which my family and I will cherish forever."
- Sohail Q.
"Doctor Neufeld was fantastic throughout my Achilles tendon repair. He got right to the point and told me what my options were but then made sure to answer all of my questions after I was a little nervous. My #1 piece of advice would be get the surgery done ASAP. I went on a rafting trip in between when I tore my Achilles and my surgery and I may have hurt myself more even though I was wearing the boot."
-Joel M.
"Dr. Neufeld's manner was warm, caring, and gentle. My foot was very swollen and my toes were splayed out like a frog! Being sensitive to anyone touching my foot, Dr. Neufeld was gentle, patient, and confident, stating that he could fix any foot problems. He made me feel comfortable and secure. Arrangements were made for surgery two days later. His efficiency and expertise were appreciated."
-Alice C.
"Dear Dr. Neufeld and Team - thank you doesn't seem adequate enough to express the gratitude that I have for all of your acts of kindness you displayed during each of my post ankle surgery appointments. Your warmth and care is unspeakable!"
-Sandra D.
I had broken the right side of my ankle bone and had a previous surgery before I met Dr. Cuttica. But my pain was severe and the bone I had surgery on started to stick out. Dr. Cuttica was sincere, listened to my problems, and explained until I understood. Dr. Cuttica did a great surgery and it took much shorter than the first surgery without any pain. After the procedure, I was able to walk again!
-Nabila C.
On September 23rd, Dr. Neufeld performed ankle replacement surgery on my husband, Jim. Since then he has had at least 5 post-op visits at your Falls Church office. Your staff has been amazing, without exception. Every single person we encountered was professional, courteous and clearly all about treating the patient while maintaining a wonderful disposition. Every professional on your team took the time to educate and execute. In particular, many thanks and shout outs to Miss Constance, Mr. Dean, Juliana, Anthony and Nate for your amazing bed side manner. You all contributed to Jim's excellent recovery.

Randall J.Feb 24, 2020
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.

Emily F.Feb 18, 2020
Very nice doctor and very friendly and helpful staff. Little wait time. Just received cortisone shots.
-
Reiko S.Feb 13, 2020
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. 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.

Karen B.Jan 23, 2020
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.
-
Jennifer R.Jan 23, 2020

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.

Ken W.Jan 9, 2020
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.”

Mary G.Nov 24, 2019
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.

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.

Milan N.Aug 5, 2019
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.
-
Perrine P.Aug 2, 2019
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!
-
Ted K.Aug 2, 2019

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.

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.

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.

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.

Elaine B.May 23, 2019
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.

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.

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.”

Mary G.Nov 24, 2019
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. Cuttica is the best!

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.

Milan N.Aug 5, 2019
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.
-
Perrine P.Aug 2, 2019
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!
-
Ted K.Aug 2, 2019
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

Mark S.Jul 26, 2019
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.

Jessica G.Jul 16, 2019

Deborah C.Jun 17, 2019
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.

Agnes V.May 27, 2019
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.

Jodi F.May 24, 2019
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.
-
Ilene H.May 23, 2019
Timely and efficient

Elaine B.May 23, 2019
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.
