DO NOT GO HERE OR YOULL BE VERY SORRY AND PAYING FOR IT FOR YEARS!!!! I went here 2 times and at first it seemed ok. Each time I left I paid my balance in full. After about 6 months I started getting bills in the mail saying I stilled owed them the same amounts I paid(I have bank statements to prove it) for 1 full year I called the office to get it handled. The first phone call the lady at the time said that she saw I paid and that there system is sometimes slow on catching up and to ignore it and that all was OK. So thinking it was all handled I was wrong. I got another bill in the month so I waited and after the 3rd month still getting them I called again. Took me 4 days to finally get someone to either answer the phone. Each call I left a voice mail to call back. Didn't get a call. She said she would tell Dr. Shabazz and they would get it fixed. It didn't get fixed so I called and demanded to speak with Mr. Shabazz and after 10 minutes of getting the run around I left my name and contact number for him to call me personally as the ladies at the desk didn't know what they were doing. HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK AFTER A YEAR. Still I got bills and so I decided to email him(twice) explaining the situation. He never emailed me back or called me. So here we are 2 years later and no calls or emails back from this crook. I noticed that my insurance had been run and come to find out it was him and his office running my insurance for payment. The insurance paid him a few hundred dollars and said I still owed him money. So not only did he get my money right after each visit he never returned any calls or emails, and committed insurance fraud. This guy is a scam artist and doesn't care about you as a patient or as an individual. Im calling the insurance company first thing in the morning as well as my family lawyer. I hope what he and his family and staff gets what's coming to them 10 fold.

Dr. Shabazz has been my podiatrist for five years now and I can't give him anything less than an A+++. I came to him with a problem that other doctors could not fix, or would not touch, but Dr. Shabazz took my case in, and fixed my foot. His professionalism, good bedside manner, and ability to actually LISTEN to his patients is unparalleled, but what makes him a cut above the rest, to me, is his skill as a surgeon, and his ability to fix tough problems. He's at the top of his field. A+++

I love Dr. Shabazz. He took the time to properly diagnose my problem. He took the time to answer my questions. He completed forms that I needed for insurance. He listened and he explained and gave a proper treatment plan. His staff is so friendly that I enjoyed speaking with them when I came to the office. He is very skilled and knowledgeable. I have referred several people to him and everyone seems very pleased. I would highly recommend Dr. Shabazz.

I had chronic foot pain for over 1 year, when I went to see Dr. Shabazz. He was my second opinion and I was releved to be able to find someone who really knows his business. He explained my options, and he ended up doing surgery on my left foot. Everything went well, before and after the surgery he visited me often and listened patiently to all of my concerns. Guided me all the way. Im back on my feet, slowly recovering and he is still supporting and taking good care of me. In the practise everyone is very nice. Highly recomending Dr. Shabazz to everyone!

The most compasionate doctor around. I saw him for an emergency with my foot and he performed 3 surgeries to attempt to save my toe. He has the most friendly and sympatheic bedside manner. Highly recommend him to anyone needing a foot doctor.

I came to Dr. Shabazz with a severe case of Hallux Ridgidus. I had visited another podiatrist and Dr. Shabazz was my second opinion. In my first visit to Dr. Shabazz, he explained my problem and gave me different options. He was very easy to talk to and I felt that I was his only patient for the day. He took all the time neccessary to talk to me. He answered all my questions so I would be able to understand my problem. I decided to have joint fusion surgery. Dr. Shabazz did the surgery at Fair Oaks Hospital. The folks at Fair Oaks were wonderful, everyone was concerned with my comfort. It is now 3 months after surgery and for the first time in 2 years my foot is pain free. I would definately go to Dr. Shabazz again and would recommend him to anybody.
