We have helped over 40,000+ patients since 2006, and we have received countless 5-star reviews. Below you will find some testimonials from happy patient reviews. More reviews available upon request.

Dr. Barbella and staff truly were a gift from God. They gave me the quality of life back I thought I would never regain. I had been to several doctors for my condition and everyone told me it was a condition I would just have to learn to live with. He treated me with sincere understanding and fitted me with a pair of orthotics that would greatly relieve my pain. I told him at the last visit I would run into a burning house to save my orthotics.

I saw Dr. Barbella and he was excellent, humorous and very caring and thorough. The staff in the office was excellent from the first phone call I made. The lady on the phone said, “thank you for choosing our office and let me be the first to welcome you.” Kudos for a stellar environment from beginning to end.

My first impression from the front desk to the examining room was exceptional. The doctor’s assistant answered all my questions while she prepared me for the doctor. Dr Dairman fixed my problem that day. He explained each step. I had virtually no pain. This was 4 days ago and I feel great. Thank you for your excellent bedside manner…..above all the medical attention I received was superb. Thank you 1Foot 2Foot.

Personally I think that 1Foot 2Foot is the best podiatry out there ever. The Dr’s we have are the best there is and the staff cares about everyone that comes through the door. They all do their best to make you feel at comfortable and welcomed.

Sherri B.

I could not ask for a better podiatrist group. The Drs and staff are amazing and make you as comfortable as possible. I do and will recommend everyone to them and will be a lifetime patient. Love this practice. Everyone there is so kind and eager to help or answer any questions. I guess thats why everyone in my family uses this group.

Becky S.

Dr. Barbella is the best. He was patient and work all avenues until we found the root of my foot pain. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs a foot doctor.

Lisa F.

I couldn’t walk. The pain in my foot was so bad I had consented to surgery with another podiatrist. I was literally stuck to the couch with my feet up because the pain had gotten unbearable. BUT I did not want surgery so one weekend I searched for alternatives. I found 1Foot 2Foot. I went to Dr. Barbella and within 3 visits he had me walking relatively normal. I cannot thank the staff and Dr. Barbella enough for eliminating the pain and giving me my foot back. There are alternatives that work.

Karen M.

Tina was very helpful and knowledgeable! Very nice building and selection. I hope to continue to do business in the future.

Si W. – Stems Spa

I had an appointment today with Angie in the Harbour View location, and she was absolutely AMAZING!!! This was my first time at Stems Spa, and I was very impressed with the cleanliness, professionalism, and prices!

I made my second appointment with her and cannot wait to go visit her again in several weeks!!! Thank you, Angie!!!!

Rae M.

I’ve been both a patient of 1Foot 2Foot with Dr. Dairman and a client at Stems Spa. I can honestly say – WOW! I never thought I’d be proud to show my feet until now. Dr. D. fixed by heel pain and a pretty bad bunion. I can barely see the scar! The pedicures are simply amazing – AND CLEAN! Proud to have them in Suffolk! Thanks guys.

I was referred to Dr. Dairman at 1Foot 2Foot by my family doctor. I was happy for the referral as a friend of mine had also seen Dr. Dairman, had surgery, and raved about him. When I arrived, I was amazed at the office. In the middle of downtown Suffolk, is an office that belongs in New York City. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist, taken back promptly by a friendly assistant, and seen by a Doctor who was comfortable, confident, and yes, friendly. He explained my problem (neuroma), offered several treatment options and said with a smile “”I can fix that.”” He gave me a steroid injection and I left his office without pain. I haven’t had pain since. I have been back to see him – I say hi when I’m getting a pedicure at his spa (Stems). I’ve even purchased my new running sneakers at his store (The Shoe Fits) – I love the Loco runners. I guess I’m Loco for 1Foot 2Foot. Would recommend this place to anyone with feet!!

T. G.

I purchased many Dr. Scholl’s supports, went to an orthopedic who sent me to therapy. Six months later I was no better. A friend told me about 1Foot 2Foot and Dr. Dairman. Within 2 weeks I was back to my activities with little pain. Within 4 weeks, I’m pain-free. How he did it, I don’t know, but I now send all my friends and family to 1Foot 2Foot.

Barbara

Dr. Dairman and his staff are wonderful. I went from dreading to even stand-up to out walking for exercise again. So happy with the improvement in my foot! Thank you 1Foot 2Foot.

Dr. Dariman did hammer toe surgery at Sentara Obici Hospital on April 3, 2015 and I could not be more pleased with the outcome and the care I have received from him and his staff. I would highly recommend him for your foot needs.

Thanks to 1 Foot 2 Foot, six months after my husband had major foot surgery, he is up to running three miles with no foot or ankle pain!!

MG Suffolk, VA

Almost 4 months after surgery and all is still well…..On Monday of this week I had four patients of my own to see in our outpatient surgery department. I went up and down the flight of stairs to surgery a total of 9 times that day. Was I tired at the end of the day? You bet! Did my foot and heel give me any problems? None at all!!!! Thanks again for pain free walking.

PW Suffolk, VA

Dr. Dairman is so great. I thank him so much that he was able to help with the pain I had in my foot. He and his staff were so warm, friendly, as well as professional and made me feel at home.

I would definitely recommend anyone who I know that need a foot specialist you are definitely my number 1 choice.

From the first day that I met Dr. Dairman, I had immediate results. He has done such a splendid job with my feet that I told my entire family and all of my friends, and that is a lot. They were so impressed that they started telling their friends. So if you have foot problems I recommend Dr. Dairman because he is the man to see. He and his entire staff are just like family.

JF Suffolk, VA

I had suffered for more than 40 years with chronic heel and foot pain. I had two conventional surgeries that did not improve the pain. I had to wear an assortment of orthotics and braces, but the pain never went away. When my husband and I moved to Suffolk, our new family physician referred me to Dr. Matthew Dairman. That was a very lucky day for me. Dr. Dairman advised that I try cryosurgery, a new procedure where he froze the nerve in my foot that was causing me all the pain. The surgery involved only one tiny cut on my foot. After the procedure, the small cut was covered with a band-aid. I walked out of his office in my own shoes and without the horrible pain. I was able to drive to South Carolina the very next day. I was able to enjoy a pain-free Thanksgiving with my family. I cannot thank Dr. Dairman enough for his care. He truly is my hero.

SH Suffolk, VA

Dr. Dairman is a miracle worker. I walked for years with a limp. I now walk without a limp and without pain.

PA Suffolk, VA

I’ve had ingrowing toenails for years causing me lots of pain. Dr. Dairman performed an in-office surgery to correct these nails that was so painless that I actually fell asleep while he did it! Thank you Dr. D. for a gentle touch.

MF Suffolk, VA

I have suffered for many years with pain in the arch of my foot. At times I could stand or walk on my feet only an hour or two before I experienced very excruciating pain. Cortisone shots helped some for a short time. Thanks to Dr. Dairman and his Cryosurgery technique, I am free of pain. I can walk again.

HH Suffolk, VA

Just wanted to say thanks for taking care of my son, and doing it in a manner that made him very comfortable. Your “bedside” mannerisms are wonderful.

WS Suffolk, VA

RE: Ingrown Nail Correction – Best I’ve ever seen. I didn’t feel a thing – it was over before I thought he started.

ES Suffolk, VA

I’m a patient at 1Foot 2Foot and my feet feel so much better. I think Dr. Dairman is awesome. Thanks.

Dr. Dairman: I forgot how wonderful it feels to walk without pain in my foot, until this morning. Thank you for being a Great Doctor! Thank you for all you do for all of your patients.

LS Sunbury, NC

I was referred to Dr. Dairman by my PCP for foot surgery. I was kind of skeptical about having surgery, but after he fixed the bunion on my right foot, this doctor should know that he gives a woman confidence about her feet. I’m now not ashamed to wear my sandals.

LR Raleigh, NC

By the time I left 1Foot 2Foot, I was walking so good I forgot my walker.

NC Chesapeake, VA

Dr. Dairman and his office staff are very courteous, caring and concerned about your needs. Appointments are scheduled in a timely manner with very short waiting time.
