I had been hesitant for a long time to see a podiatrist but Dr Maher made me feel very comfortable. I was initially worried about my bunions which he gave me exercises to do which will save me from having surgery. He also found that I had fungus on my nails from constant pedicures and nail polish! Dr Maher cleaned everything up and I left with new feet. Very happy!! He is very knowledgeable and passionate!

Great podiatrist. I am a runner and Maher has fixed my ingrown toe nails that I have had for years. He has also given me a exercise program to improve my running.
He is a kind and caring man who is very active in the community through donations and his shoes for the homeless program.
I highly recommend him for any of your foot problems.

100% recommend Active Foot Care Podiatry. Dr Maher Said is very friendly and intelligent. He thoroughly explains how I can take better care of my feet and he also demonstrates various exercises to improve my feet. Since my visits I have seen many improvements in my feet and I am no longer experiencing foot pain. This is all thanks to Dr Maher Said!

I visited Dr Maher Said today after a not so great experience at another podiatry service.
Dr Said was extremely professional, helpful and more importantly made me feel comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated his sociable demeanour and the fact that he was patient with all my questions and not dismissive.
It was definitely worth the drive seeing him and I will be recommending him to family and friends in the future.

My wife saw Dr Maher for pain in her foot. He knew the cause of the pain before the ultrasound results came back. Dr Maher was kind and caring and always took the time to follow up on my wife’s foot. He gave her exercises to do and was always checking in to see how she was going in between appointments. We would highly recommend Dr Maher.

Highly recommend Dr Maher Said because to put it quite bluntly, he knows everything about 'feet' and their attached body parts. He gives you the information and instructions to improve your current feet issues. Pedicure minus the nail polish is also available with a great massage to make your feet smile!
