Amol Saxena DPM - Palo Alto, California

During my first consultation with Dr. Saxena, he quickly diagnosed a complete tear of my Achilles tendon and recommended surgery. Even with his tight schedule, as he was about to head out of town, he and his team made sure to fit me in. The surgery went as smoothly as possible, and I didn’t experience much pain afterwards. I’m really grateful to Dr. Saxena and his entire team. I just got casted yesterday and am feeling optimistic as I start my recovery journey.

Dr. Saxena is a magician for foot care/treatment. He has a great team with a great system to get diagnose and plan for treatment. He previously did surgery on my RT foot and recovered amazing! No I have issues with my left foot and I came back because I don’t trust no one with my feet other than Dr. Saxena. He truly cares about his patients and there is no other doctor who I will ever go for any issues.Thank you to his team and Dr. Saxena!

I have been a patient of Dr. Saxena since c. 1996 and despite the fact that I now live several states away from California, where he practices, I chose to fly back to have him perform surgery (Metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) arthroplasty and removal of a broken bone spur) on my left foot. His decades of work with Olympic runners provided added assurance that I was in the best possible hands. I am a lifelong recreational runner (43 years). Because I need to run to stay sane, I put this surgery off for a number of years until the pain reached a point where I could no longer walk barefoot. Dr. Saxena and his team explained the procedure clearly ahead of time and provided all the information I needed to heal quickly. Two post-op appointments served to check in on healing and recovery. Two weeks after surgery, the earlier pain I had was gone and I was able to start riding a stationary bike. Three weeks after surgery, the scar is barely visible and there is minimal swelling. Recovery has been quite speedy. I feel so grateful to have been "fixed" by Dr. Saxena. I recommend him 100%.

I have been going to Dr. Saxena a long time (off and on) for various foot scenarios, and I appreciate him very much. He uses data (x-rays and exam), and concisely points out what's going on and what I need to do. In the past he's noticed things I didn't even think of...and used data points to briefly explain the situation to me. He treats me with respect and kindness. He performed surgery on my foot awhile back and it was a great experience. I felt very well taken care of the day of surgery and afterwards. He referred me to physical therapy afterwards, and then ART at The Athlete's Edge, which was an amazing experience and really helped me. He has also referred me to PT for other issues, and his PT referrals are stellar. I have also referred my husband to him, and that worked out well too. I do believe we benefit from a network of healthcare providers, across the varietals of expertise. I appreciate that Dr. Saxena is both in my network and has grown my network through his spot-on referrals.

Dr. Amal Saxena is an exceptionally accomplished foot surgeon.for over 35 years

I know myself lucky and blessed to have him as my doctor.

He treated a severe arthritic condition wherein my feet curled up. Because of his great skills I had many long hikes in forests and other lovely places.

Aside from being an extraordinary physician he is especially well developed as a person He writes children’s books and his own well developed athletic prowess He nurtures the community in many ways be writing and posting attics on what athletic shoes to buy I wouldn’t think of purchasing athletic footwear without first consulting his valuable pages

Thank you Dr Saxena You touched my life as an angel might
