Arizona Foot Health: Ryan Golub, DPM

My husband recently saw Dr. Golub, and I was so impressed with the care he received that I wanted to leave a review myself. From the very beginning, Dr. Golub treated my husband with kindness, genuine concern, and a depth of knowledge that immediately put us at ease. He took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and made sure my husband felt comfortable every step of the way. What really stood out to me was not only how skilled and professional he is, but also the compassion and patience he showed, it gave both of us so much peace of mind knowing my husband was in such capable hands. I’m truly grateful for the excellent care Dr. Golub provided and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring podiatrist.

I am so happy I found Az foot health I would recommend Dr.Ryan Goluband his Staff !! They are excellent!!

A heavy piece of furniture fell on my toe while I was wearing flip flops, and it completely damaged my toenail. The pain was awful and the nail was broken beyond fixing. I went to see Dr. Golub, and I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. He immediately understood what needed to be done, explained everything clearly, and made me feel calm about the procedure. He ended up removing the toenail quickly and with very little pain. What I really appreciated was how he walked me through the process step by step and gave me clear instructions for aftercare so I could heal properly. The recovery has gone smoothly thanks to his guidance, and I’m already feeling so much better. It was such a relief after dealing with the pain and worry. Dr. Golub is professional, caring, and skilled — I’d highly recommend him to anyone who needs podiatry care

They were able to squeeze me in as a walk in, I only waited about an hour and had an ingrown toenail surgery same day, I am so thankful for them! They informed me every step of the way, and kept me educated in the process of the surgery as well. The staff is also wonderful, very friendly and makes you feel taken care of. Will 110% come here again . Thank you very much to Dr. Golub! I wish all of you the best !

I wish I can put a 5 star review to Dr. Ryan Golub. Unfortunately, it is the opposite, he deserves a 1-star review. I injured my left foot on April 7th couldn't walk at all at the next day and call Dr. Golub's office to schedule an appt. They give me an appt for April 22nd. I arrived in crutches because I had pain every time I stepped on my foot. I put myself in crutches for 2 weeks until I saw him. When I saw him on Apr 22nd, he asked a couple of questions and he diagnosed a muscle sprain in my left foot even though I did not have the purple or exaggerate swelling a common muscle sprain has. Nor did he do an MRI to diagnose, only X-rays. At the end of the appt he prescribed Meloxicam, PT 2x a week for the next 3-4 weeks and he said to remove 1 crutch so I was bearing weight on my injured foot. I saw him again on May 8th 2 weeks later and I came back again with 1 crutch and still limping. When he saw me, he said "again not off of that crutch that's odd". He looked at my foot and said do you want an MRI or maybe next time I see you? I said no let's do it asap, he gave me the order and got an MRI on May 16th. The following week he called me and said MRI results came and you have an issue with your arch and next time I see you we can do a steroid injection and if that doesn't work then Surgery. I was stunned because of course he didn’t go in details over the phone. I saw him again on May 28 at this point this was the 3rd appt and there has already been 7 weeks since my injury and I did not have any progress and couldn’t walk properly. I was feeling very disappointed for his poor diagnosis since appt 1 and because I didn't have any progress at all, I went to see a 2nd opinion and Thanks God I found Dr. Arya foot and Ankle. She LISTENED to my symptoms clearly and she said let's call radiologist again (MRI) because what you are telling me does not align with the MRI results. She called and had them analyze the MRI Images and they found out a chronic injury in my plantar plate suggested by a cyst and affecting my second metatarsal. This was amended to the MRI report. They found the real root cause due to a doctor listening. Immediately she said stop PT because at this point PT had me do it calf raises, heel rises and exercises a plantar plate injury should not be doing at least not until 4-6 weeks rest which I did not have due to the misdiagnosis of Dr. Ryan Golub. The second Dr. put me in the right treatment going forward and I asked her to forward the MRI results to Dr. Golub's office. On the 3rd appt of May 28th I walked in and told him about the MRI amendment and he looked at the amended MRI printed copy and he said oh I didn’t have time to read it let me read it and he saw a cyst and said this is nothing they come and go by themselves. He did not read the part of chronic injury plantar plate, something very easy to do and he ignored that part. He assessed my foot and I told him I do not have pain on the navicular bone area (arch) which is what he diagnosed and what the original MRI says. He said the foot is very complex and there could be some damage inside that needs time. At this point I came with a second opinion results and he ignored the amended of the MRI and my symptoms. Now it's been 3 months since my injury and I am still in rest since May 26 and I am waiting for my plantar plate to heel along with upcoming PT specialized in plantar plate not a common PT. If this doesn't work there is further treatment for my foot. Due to Dr's Golub misdiagnosis my treatment is delayed and I have not been 100% in these 3 months. ADVICE: make sure he listens to you and if he is not go and look for a 2nd opinion ASAP do not wait like I did.

From day one Dr. Golub was very professional He reviewed my X-ray and immediately talked to me about the best treatment plan. His medical assistant is super helpful as well. I had additional questions and Art was very helpful. I went back to him and Did my surgery on November 8 and I am happy I did. Definitely recommend him and his staff to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring doctor.

Dr Golub was very informative of my situation. He explained everything in detail and made me feel that he really cared. He was delightful and confident. The office is welcoming and I look forward to my next visit with him.
