Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

5-Star Professionals
This Chandler office is full of the most professional, caring, friendly, knowledgeable people I've ever been to at any doctor's office! From the office assistants who answer the phone, to the medical assistants and other staff, to the extremely personable and thorough doctor. Everyone is top notch. The wait time was very short, the waiting room well arranged, ample parking, easy check out, and a total conscientious office!

miss diagnosed
After getting shot in foot for a severe ankle sprain, I was passed to Dr Greg in his office, when I twisted my ankle I heard and felt a pop. It was not their concern and a lump appeared above the ankle. after a year of wraps and a boot the lump got bigger. Went to another Dr to discover the pop was a torn tendon which could not be fixed by then. Thanks Greg.

Dr. Discont and his staff are the best!
Dr. Discont did my ankle surgery years ago. He was fantastic then and still is to this day. I have great respect for his professionalism and his knowledge. I appreciate that he is extremely personable. The staff, including the front desk and medical assistants, are always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Discont at Family Foot and Ankle!

Dr. Discont is the best!
I just had my initial visit to the office of Dr. Alan Discont - and it was as thorough, enjoyable, and successful as any visit with a doctor in my long life. He is very professional, yet personable, and explains everything. He does not believe in doing unnecessary intervention, but listens and understands what our feet mean to us! I recommend him 100%

Crushed toe repair
I cannot say enough good about Dr Discont. Many years ago one of my horse stepped on my right big toe and broke the joint. I thought it was just sore and I put up with it for years. Then I decided to see what could be done and my GP referred me to Dr Discont. He is a great guy, fun to talk up and wonderful office - but- can he fix my toe. He did an X ray and asked how I was able to stand up let alone walk. And then he replaced that joint with a metal one. No more pain, full use of my foot, why did I wait. It has now been several years and that joint still works perfectly.

Family Foot and Ankle has a terrific staff
I have been a patient of Family Foot and Ankle for 8 years. In that time I have been treated for arthritis, bursitis and a severe injury to my ankle and heel as a result of a fall from a ladder. I have seen Dr. Discont, and several other doctors on his staff and have been extremely impressed by each one of them. Dr. Gregg Krahn, DPM, is the latest to see me for my ankle and heel. There has been absolutely no problem transitioning from one doctor to another if necessary. Dr. Krahn has answered all of my questions, provided excellent care and treatment. The orthopedic shoe inserts and specific shoe types to wear., as well as how to progressively improve my mobility, without causing more damage has been spot on. After over a year of treatment, we have overcome the possibility of not being able to actually heal the fractures, especially the heel damage. I now walk normally, without any limp, hesitation or pain, and do not need a cane or walker. Dr. Krahn has been wonderful. Thank you.

Left after 45 minutes in the lobby
Didn't get to see the doctor. Was in the waiting room 45 minutes before I left. The others out there with me had also been waiting too long as well. Add to the experience of listening to a patient place a 30-minute phone call during her wait, and I decided 45 minutes was enough.
