Ambulatory Surgery Center
Did you know that in addition to seeing patients with routine foot care needs, and even urgent podiatry concerns we have a surgical suite? The Ambulatory Surgical Center is located at our office. An Ambulatory Surgical Center is a facility where surgeries are performed that do not require the patient to be admitted to the hospital. The doctors of Frederick Foot & Ankle wanted to provide their patients with a smooth and private operating area to eliminate the extra stress that can accompany the hospital setting.

Posted on Miriam DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Abawi saved my right foot. She is aggressive with her treatments and she cares about her patients!!! I am a type 2 diabetic and had to have my second toe amputated because of gangrene and the podiatrist that preformed that surgery, left loose tendons in my foot which became infected. My vascular doctor, Dr Gupta, referred me to Dr Abawi and that is the best π decision I've ever made. I love her and have nothing but respect π and confidence that she's taking care of me. She's my podiatrist FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. If you are having issues with your feet and legs, MAKE SURE YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND PUT YOUR FAITH AND TRUST IN DR ABAWI π π ALSO, I GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO CRYSTAL!!! SHE'S THE BEST π π π π₯°. Whenever I see her, she's so positive and attentive. She cried with me when I found out that I had to have a second toe amputated. She really connects with her patients!!! LOVE YOU CRYSTAL π β€οΈ. I can go on and on regarding the care that I have received from Dr Abawi, she not only amputated my third toe, but my diabetes was accompanied with p.a.d., therefore, the circulation to the front of my foot was not there. Dr Abawi, performed a TMA on my right foot. TMA means that I have no toes on my right foot. However, I am doing great π π π. Like I said, she's saved the rest of my foot. She is the greatest β€οΈ π π π π π β€οΈPosted on Erin WelchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Abawi was absolutely wonderful with my adult son, who has autism. She was incredibly patient, calm, and compassionate throughout the entire visit. She took her time, never rushed us, and made sure we felt ready for the procedure. Her gentle approach truly made a difference. Her nurse was also so kind and welcoming. She interacted with my son in such a calm, caring and respectful way. Itβs not always easy to find medical professionals who genuinely connect and show that level of understanding, but they were wonderful.Posted on M KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iβm so grateful to have found Minimally Invasive Foot & Ankle Center and Dr. Hummira Abawi. I was taken as a new patient and received exceptional care from start to finish. Dr. Abawi was able to locate and remove a tiny shard of glass from my heel that others had tried β unsuccessfully β to remove. I felt instant relief. Her knowledge, precision, and calm, compassionate approach were incredibly reassuring. I also appreciated the thorough x-rays and the clear, thoughtful guidance on a treatment plan moving forward. Crystal and the rest of the team were warm, professional, and made what could have been a stressful visit feel easy and supportive. Iβm very much looking forward to my follow-up appointment and continuing care here. Highly recommend this practice for anyone needing expert foot and ankle care. β Maureen K., Baltimore, MDPosted on Leah RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
