Tim M.

“My feet are sensitive as hell. I go weekly to have my feet done at a salon which is painful. Dr. Skandeva and the assistant at NOVA Foot & Ankle Center were professional, courteous and relaxing while performing a procedure that I was absolutely dreading. They made it very comfortable and PAINLESS!!!”

Mary T.

“Dr. Skandeva and her staff are very knowledgeable and thorough. The staff took care of obtaining my insurance benefits before my appointment so I knew what my responsibility was before walking in their door. Dr. Skandeva spoke in a way that I understood my concerns and care plan.”

David D.

“I’d been dealing with foot pain for years, and I was finally at my wit’s end. Dr. Cheema was incredibly understanding and took the time to really listen to my concerns. After a thorough examination, they provided a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that actually worked. I’m so grateful for their expertise and compassionate care. My feet feel better than they have in years!”
