I highly recommend Dr. Masternick for anyone seeking expert care in podiatry. As a patient, I was…read morethoroughly impressed by his professionalism, attentiveness, and depth of knowledge. From the initial consultation through treatment, Dr. Masternick took the time to explain my condition clearly, answer all my questions, and ensure I felt comfortable with every step of the process. His approach is both compassionate and thorough, and I felt confident in the care I received. The staff at Foot and Ankle Specialists of the Mid-Atlantic were also courteous and efficient, making the entire experience smooth and reassuring. Whether you're dealing with a chronic foot issue or recovering from an injury, Dr. Masternick is a provider you can trust for high-quality, patient-centered care.

When I started experiencing heel pain, I came to him first. It's great he takes my health insurance. Care quality (5/5): Dr. Idiculla is really kind and knowledgeable. He gave me a comprehensive treatment plan for my plantar fasciitis and I'm confident that it will be treatable. He has a 3 step plan to heal my pain. Office experience (4/5): It's a bit tight in the small waiting room but everyone is really nice. Sometimes they run a few minutes late.

I was recently seen for a splinter removal in my big toe. I was helping my daughter tie her shoes…read moreand felt a sharp pain in my toe when I stood up. It felt like a splinter, but I couldn't see one anywhere so I just went about my day. By that night my toe hurt to walk on and by two days later it was throbbing and I was limping. We kept looking for a splinter using a flashlight and magnifying glass, but couldn't see one. In desperation I called Nova Foot and Ankle and they fit me in the next morning. Apparently podiatrists remove splinters all the time. The doctor numbed my toe, made a small incision, and removed a small sliver of wood from my toe. I had a quick follow up 2 weeks later to make sure everything was healing well (it was). I would highly recommend this office! They're friendly, prompt, and helpful.

When they send you to the patient portal to fill out your forms, you will be amazed at how woke they are. There is no choice for male or female. It's "identify as male" " identify as female" "transgender" or "non-binary." Then you get to the part where it asks your race. The choice doesn't include white/Caucasian. The young lady at the front desk when I arrived was very sweet. The tech who took me back was rude AF. Dr. Master Nick entered the room, never introduced himself, asked me why I waited so long to come in and then didn't believe me when I told him I had seen another doctor and told him what they had advised. I had photos on my phone to prove it though. He just told me I didn't need to come back. Nothing else. An absolute complete waste of my time! I'm hoping there will be a bill because I will not be paying it!

But for the last three visits, I was taken into a room 15-20 minutes late with no explanation. My appointment should take no more than 15-20 minutes. If I had not left 45 minutes later on my own, I don't know how long I would have sat in that room waiting for the PA. Today I had a 9:15 AM appointment. I waited 20 minutes after my appointment time to be put in a room finally at 9:35 AM, . Once in the room, I waited an additional 15 minutes for the doctor to come in. When Dr. Kaas came in, and she explained she was held up for personal reasons. I then waited for the PA to come in to finish the visit and she did not show up at all. I waited another 20 minutes and I decided to leave. I am 67 years old and have NEVER left a doctor's office in my life. I told the front desk why I left. Five minutes after leaving, I received a phone call from the PA who told me they were short staffed. She invited me to come in today at my convenience to complete the treatment, but I could not. I will not be returning to this practice. This all could have been avoided by a kind explanation at any point in time while I was in the office.

I was seen by Dr. Jay Ryan at this practice back starting in 2025. I went to him for diagnosed foot…read morepain, and he constantly said multiple issues existed. He kept pushing for injections and surgeries. These injections were costly and did not work, and even after understanding that, he kept emphasizing the injections. Finally after refusing the injections multiple times, he suggested multiple surgeries. Dr. Ryan performed one surgery on July 2025, and one again on January 2026. Every time I was seen for debilitating foot pain, he suggested surgery. After each surgery completed, my foot pain got worse and now I can't walk. Dr. Ryan also provided an inaccurate estimate of how long my recovery would be, he did a very intense surgery where a portion of my heel was removed, metal hardware was taken out, and he said I would be able to walk in 2 weeks. Several months later, even after physical therapy, I am unable to walk. I don't think I will ever be able to walk again. After one of my surgeries I was scheduled for a post op with Dr. Ryan, and upon arriving, I was told I could not be seen by him. Dr. Kaas ended up seeing me, and she did not provide a thorough exam of my incisions. She stood on one side of the room where she could not examine my entire foot, and I had multiple stitches on all sides of my feet. Dr. Kaas glanced at me and told me I looked fine. She then denied me any pain medications even though I was told to ask, and I needed them. The front office also is not communicative, and unhelpful. I've had to ask them multiple times to send in pain medication that I needed URGENTLY after my surgery, and they waited days to do so even after they told me they would send it same day. They also refused to prescribe me pain medication, they said a Dr. had to sign off on it but still made me wait - even though Dr. Ryan said he'd send it same day. I feel as though my pain levels were completely disregarded and misdiagnosed at this practice. The front office is also not clear on how the billing works, they never communicated that there would be more than one bill for one surgery, and they also charge a hefty credit card surcharge/processing fee, which I feel is already unfair, and not done at any other practice. Also, for being a medical office that specializes in foot and ankle care, their building is NOT accessible, at all. There are multiple stairs and a steep incline going into the building, no automatic doors at the office. It was extremely hard trying to maneuver an office being disabled and using mobility aids that I brought like a wheelchair, a scooter, a walker, crutches, and a cane. I don't think I will ever be able to walk again after being seen by both Dr. Ryan and Dr. Kaas. Please avoid this office at all costs.

Great practice! Have been seeing Dr Mendelsohn in the past for about 5 years and had to switch…read moreinsurances and now I'm back to see him again, just in a different location. The Reston location is great, the waiting room is quite a bit larger than Fairfax location. Staff from the front desk to the nurse and assistant in back and then to Dr. Mendelsohn are all wonderful. Pleasant and very helpful and take care of all of your needs. Lisa and her assistant, I didn't catch her name, were both very efficient and assisted with everything the doctor needed for them to do from x-rays to getting the ultrasound machine ready to just a check of my forms and determine what I was there for to prep the doctor before he came in to see me. This doctor is amazing! It has been 6 years since I last saw him and he still remembers me and the fact that I used to come to another location. Its amazing and so is he. He gets to the root of the problem quickly and uses the best method to start with and doesn't rush you right into surgery. He wants to try the minimal approach first and I agree that its the best way to start. I've never seen another doctor in this practice though I would trust any of the doctors in this location and the others. They've always been able to resolve my foot pain and issues. They have plenty to do as there is northing normal about my feet! Highly recommend checking out this practice and leaving your worries behind. They will diagnose and resolve the problems surrounding your feet.

I am glad that others find him helpful but I would never go back to him.
