Our feet are an intricate and precise machinery, each comprised of 26 bones. These along the ligaments and tendons help support our body and keep it mobile. The feet take tremendous abuse, and not just from athletes. Most people don't give their feet a second thought until something goes wrong. Yet something goes wrong quite often: Foot pain afflicts four out of five adults, especially after age 50.
Achilles tendinitis is inflammation, irritation, and swelling of the Achilles tendon (the tendon that connects the muscles of the calf to the heel). There are two large muscles in the calf, the gastrocnemius and soleus. These muscles generate the power for pushing off with the foot or going up on the toes.
There's no single 'best shoe' - everyone has different needs. All sorts of things - your biomechanics, your weight, the surfaces you run on, and obviously, the shape of your feet - mean that one person's ideal shoe can be terrible for another person. We divide our shoes into three main categories (cushioned, stability and motion control); and three minor ones (performance training, racing and off-road).

I was a new patient, and was expecting some delay -- however I was roomed right away, the doctor was in the room quickly, he got the X-rays done, and I was out in less than 30 minutes with all the I formation I needed for a persistent foot pain that everyone had said was a soft tissue injury, and turns out it's a spot of arthritis. Walking? No problem, it's good for me (instead of bad for me...). Fast, efficient, great personality and communication, didn't seem rushed and answered all my questions. **warning -- the parking for this building is across the street, and the sign is faded

The receptionist helped me with a walk in appt. We had talked about a appt and I did not take the appt she suggested. I showed for the appt I did not take and they took me any way. The doctor was so helpful and kept me in formed on everything he was doing. I was grateful to the whole staff I needed treatment ASAP due to the fact that I have 3 infected blisters and they took me in ASAP. If you ever need a foot Dr. choice Advanced Foot & ankle Center.

Once again, Dr. Aslamand performs. I have been going for about three years and because of the amount of walking I do, sometimes I have a problem. The last one was an inflamed tendon in one of my feet. Dr. Aslamand is a minimalist when it comes to drugs and injections. He gave me one small steroid shot when it began and told me to keep walking. I had a brace for a while and he recommended a shoe for me and now I am mostly pain free.
You can't ask for me.

For 5 months I have been in pain and limping unable to do any sort of running or impact. Being a mom of 2 young kids the last 5 months has been super rough. One visit, I'm 95 percent better and actually got a full one mile jog in. This dr is kind, compassionate and so helpful and I am so thankful I found him! If you have any foot pain don't hesitate to call this place he will fix you right up!

A few weeks ago I had to have a toenail removed due to an injury. I was in a solid amount of pain, so I went to urgent care, and they told me they couldn't help me. I called another podiatrist and their wait time was over 2 hrs. So after dealing with 3 urgent care centers and 2 other podiatrists, I decided to call Advanced Foot & Ankle Center. I'm so glad I did! Not only was Debbie super helpful over the phone, but she said they could see me right away. When I got there, I waited only about 10-15 mins before I got to see Dr. Botros and the procedure was done in less than 5 mins. She

I was suffering g from pain in the ball of my right foot. I figured out by trial and error I needed an injection for Morton's Neuroma. I could not find any podiatrist offices in the Palm Desert area with the required percentage of alcohol injection. I finally found this office in Long Beach. I met with Dr. Miram Botros and right away I could tell she was knowledgeable, professional and very thorough on what she could do to help me. Literally after one injection my foot felt better. I went back for two more shots over the next 6 weeks. I can happily say that I am back to my normal life. She

Called to make appointment and was seen in few days. Everyone in office was efficient and very friendly. Dr Aslmand pinpointed my problem promptly. In the week after I felt much better. I’m sure in weeks to come he can help me be pain free.
If you need a foot Dr. you will be pleased.

I had my initial appointment with Dr. Aslmand .
He is very friendly and very professional. He was able to tell me what's the cause of the pain on my R foot.
The staff are very warm in welcoming the patients and helped me immediately when I had trouble with the foot brace.
I will definitely recommend Dr. Aslmand.
I am satisfied with the care.

Amazing, caring and dedicated doctor. A couple of months ago, I developed a sharp pain at the bottom of my heel. I was so focused on work that I kept ignoring the pain and taking over the counter pain killers. It eventually got to the point were I couldn't handle the pain, the shoes and the pain killers were not doing anything besides upsetting my stomach.
I found Dr. Pedram on Yelp and decided to give him a shot. From the moment you walk in to the moment the doctor sees you, you are treated like family. His front desk staff and medical assistants are super nice and friendly. Dr. Pedram
