Dr. Farnen does a great job with my 85 year old mother. He cares and is always very friendly. She has diabetes and he sees her approximately every 10-12 weeks.

The staff was friendly, the wait time wasn't long. Dr. Farnen was excellent, he discussed foot care with me, recommended a cream, and and regiment for my feet and tie nails. I would refer anyone who wants good foot care to them.

Dr. Farnen at Skyline Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle is just the best. I have been suffering from toenail fungus for over 30 years. And, physician after physician did not even seem to care. Their directions were followed to the fullest. Dr. Farnen has been treating me for about a year. My nails look incredible! There is more work to be done, but Dr. Farnen is continuing to treat me. My pain is almost gone. Dr. Farnen is just awesome.

I have never been to a doctors office were the staff were second to none, they are the most kind people who you can tell truly cares about the patience and takes pride of what they do. The nurse explained every step he did as did the doctor without making sure you understand without making you feel like you're stupid, in a bad situation I'm happy I see them. I trust the doctors and feel like their doing what's right.

I could not have asked for better care. Dr. Farnen is kind and personable. Initially the goal was to avoid surgery, but my foot didn't cooperate. I absolutely did not feel rushed or pressured into the surgery decision. My surgery went as smoothly as possible, I've had excellent emotional support, pain control, and advice, and my 'new' foot looks great and is healing well. I highly recommend Dr Farnen to anyone who needs a foot specialist.

Good visit. Dr. Lanier was very nice and knowledgeable. I kept waiting for pain to start after the procedure. Never happened. Not even sore the next day. Best podiatrist visit I've ever had. Highly recommend Dr. Lanier

Everyone there was really nice and understanding. They made me feel like I was their most important patient. The doctor took time to listen and explained everything that he was doing before he did it. He performed the procedure with as little pain as possible. The only thing that actually hurt was the initial injection of lidocaine but he made that as painless as he could with the cold spray.

Those injections are impossible to take ALL the pain away. But he encouraged me through the whole thing and reminded me to breathe. His assistant Paul was also awesome and has a wonderful manner with patients. I experienced how kind he was with me and heard him speak just as kind and respectful to other patients he called them back. I know he must treat all his patients the same way because you can't fake that kind of caring.

The receptionist was kind and helpful. She even went and found a way to get a copy of my insurance card when my online copy wouldn't send to their site. Which to me was awesome because one place I went to wasn't going to even see me unless I could give them an actual printed copy. So all that to say, they are all wonderful kind health care professionals that I would send my own family to should the need ever arise.

I am even planning to discuss treatment for my plantar fasciitis with the physician when I return in 2 weeks. Thank you all for your kindness and understanding of the need to get my issue treated promptly.

I flew into Nashville Saturday for vacation with family and experienced a ingrown toenail that was causing serious pain and discomfort. I could hardly walk. I called the office at 820am today and Melissa was so nice and accommodating. They told me to come right in! 5 minutes later I was in the office filling out minimal paperwork. Within 10 minutes I was on the table with Dr. Fernen who was amazing!

A little cold spray, two small injections I could hardly feel and he was fixing the issue! Very pleasant staff and amazing services! Saved my family vacation! From calling for an appointment to back home within an hour! Thank you!

I had an infection of my toe that was turning black, I knew it wouldn't be a good diagnosis. Dr Lanier is so personable, friendly & funny. She dispersed all of my concerns & she able to save half of my pinkie toe. I've had 3 follow up appointments & I have another one this week. She had said as long as the process continues to get better, I'll probably will be able to leave my toe/foot unwrapped.

Since there has been great improvement since, so if I don't have to keep it wrapped up, I must be healed. I will sincerely miss go to visit her & her entire staff, including the new receptionist. I always arrive early for appointments, work, etc. I've not had to wait longer than 5 minutes for the doctor to in. In & out in about 35 minutes.

I went here for the first time a few weeks ago to see about my feet issues. When I first walked through the door the staff was welcoming and very professional. Dr. Kidanu was very nice and thorough when she explained my feet issues with me. She is my 4th podiatrist that I've visited. I feel at home when I come for my office visits. I would highly recommend Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle Clinic to anyone that needs to see a Podiatriast about their feet issues.
