Had a great experience taking care of my ingrown nail and having a pedicure. The client co-ordinators were so friendly and welcoming. Christine made my procedure so comfortable and my feet feel great. Thank you and see you in 4 weeks!
After dealing with chronic bilateral plantar fasciitis, Brandon and the wonderful Align team have me moving like a regular human again (and pain free too)! Every aspect of patient care, recovery, rehab, assessment, orthotics, footwear selection and more is handled with care. I cannot recommend this place enough if you have foot issues, or just want to be preventative. I travel specifically to come to this place, it's that good.
Hands down the only place I will ever go for all things foot related for me and my family! The amazing owners Darius and Teressa h built an epic team with an awesome chiropodist Claudia who educates the client! I brought my 5 and 12 year old to get assessed in addition to me and hubby!
The gait assessment was very thorough and insightful!
Claudia was able to identify an issue in my alignment and helped correct my foot issue! My Orthotics fit so well and easy to change between my shoes!
Cannot forgot to mention this place has the best selection of On Cloud runners which has been a game changer! AND this place does not pressure you to buy!
Thank you Darius and team for taking good care of me and my family!
From the frontdesk staff, cleanliness of the clinic and the overall experience in this clinic is on point. Darius' attention to detail is what differs this clinic from the others; intensive assessment was performed, follow-up and his dedication to help his clients are the main reasons why me and family choose to come to this clinic. (We are coming from Oshawa)
I am on my feet all day. Prior to wearing orthotics, I am always in pain during and after work, it is now my 3rd day wearing my custom orthotics and I feel GREAT! My feet feel like they are cuddled. The difference is day and night!
I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to take care of their feet and overall health. So worth it!
I cannot be more happy to get my orthopedic shoes/soles. From the front desk to the specialist I have learned so much about my foot especially for me I do a lot running. Totally recommend everyone to visit this place
I had an amazing time at Align today! First off, the space itself was extremely clean, modern and luxurious. They offered me coffee/espresso, took my coat and directed me to Darius who my appointment was with. Darius was so knowledgeable and thorough with my posture and gait scan. He took the time to explain what was going on both structurally and functionally. They even got me to walk on a treadmill! We came up with a game plan of what type of orthotic would be best suited and what kind of rehab I could be doing to help strengthen and relieve my foot pain. I was able to bring in all my frequent footwear to ensure they’re a proper fit for my foot itself which was an added bonus. Lastly, their footwear selection is on point! Lots of beautiful choices (designer too- I was looking at Michael Kors sneakers specifically). Would highly highly recommend!
Excellent service and great staff! Claudia helped me, and was very informative with tips on how to maintain good foot health which I am so excited about as I have always been self conscious about my feet. Definitely excited to continue the journey with orthotics next!
Thanks that I'll finally get correct orthotics from you, after trying many other places over the years! Thanks, I've now had 3 orthotics from you and I say well done. No other place has ever made me such excellent orthotics like you!
I’ve been wearing orthotics for years and this is hands down my favourite place to buy orthotics. The quality is better than other places. I like the technology they use - scanning your foot to make the orthotics and using videos to show what is happening when you walk. The ambience feels high end and the shoe selection is stylish. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Thanks again Darius and Frances!
Staff is wonderful, very detailed in their assessment. I have arthritis in my knees, and they helped me get the right knee braces, and orthotics to help me! I had to stop hiking, but after my treatment plan progress, they said I am well on my way to hike again! Thank you!
Amazing service. Incredibly knowledge, helpful, and passionate staff. Brandon in particular has been instrumental in coming up with a treatment plan to help heal an injury by correcting my biomechanics, and providing custom fit orthotics to help alleviate pain and provide support.
I had a body align assessment with Braveenan he did a great job of thoroughly looking at my issue. I also bought new Vionic Slippers for the summer.
Update, follow up second visit: Brandon was very helpful in picking the right shoes for me and helping me with detailed treatment approach. Also Chelsea was very sweet and helpful. I am so excited for my Orthotics!
Got aligners from them plus shoes and some food braces. $1,500 later and about 2h running in my new shoes I got severe back pain that I needed to go to Physio for. Also, it didn't help with my shin splints at all in fact, they started hurting even more.
WOW! Never knew my feet can feel this great! With the service attention and personalised fittings foot pain and back pain is gone and comfort is back. Thank you Darius and Kathy.
The staff here are really nice and are very knowledgeable. The understood well the situation with my alignment and gave me great recommendations of exercises to do that can help me adjust my feet posture. Overall a great experience!
Wonderful place. The staff is amazing and super helpful. They made me feel at home like family. Everyone is very kind and caring. Thank you for everything.
Kathy, Braveenan, and Chelsea as well as everyone else, thank you so much for the best Foot Care service I have every experienced. Will recommend you to friends and family.
I highly recommend align custom fit footwear. Just had my first align body assessment. They were very knowledgeable, and explained everything to me in a simple manner.look forward to my future appointments here and my align orthotics.
Very professional service Very clean environment They spent time assessing the case and describe it in details then recommend the best solution available. Highly recommended
It is so unfortunate that the owner (s) or who ever is responding to this, is making up stories to make a honest review look bad. I have not been rude to anyone. No one ever cried. If someone did cry and I was so rude, why were you asking me to come back to the clinic in your original response?
Seems like you have also edited your original response where you said "sometimes your staff is overbooked". If you would have seen this review as feedback to improve your practice and actually try to address my concerns - instead of trying to make me look bad, I would have had more respect for you. Everyone makes mistakes, but as many people have said, this owner is more concerned with their image than trying to solve the patient's problems.
I really hope that future patients do read this and keep all this is mind. Please find yourself another clinic that is truly competent in addressing a patient's concerns. It is so unfortunate that the owner tries to blame the customer who is making a honest review in an attempt to save their image, instead of trying to improve. Extremely unprofessional!
TO OWNER'S RESPONSE:
Dear align team,
I appreciate you taking the time out to respond to the issues I had at your clinic.
I unfortunately did not receive a call from Align. This may be due to the fact you may have been looking at another client as my appointment was more than 2 months ago (not a month ago as you had suggested).
Furthermore, you mentioned that the chiropodist - Catherine Duong, spent more time with me to try to address my foot concerns. I do not recall it being 20 minutes as I felt extremely rushed. This is probably due to your staff being overbooked as you stated. Moreover, if indeed she did spend more than 20 minutes with me (free of charge like you said), it is unfortunate that she - even with the extended time - was not able to correctly diagnose and treat my condition. Prescribing medications that are not needed only does harm to a patient.
In response to me being told what kind of appointments are available. It is not the job of the client to pick and choose the correct appointment type. This is something the receptionist should have been able to do based on my concerns. They should have put me in the correct appointment type. It is unfortunate they were not able to do so.
I hope you can use my feedback as a way to improve your services. I unfortunately do not wish to come back to Align, as I have lost my confidence in the ability of the staff to adequately address my health concerns. I stand by my initial review.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I wish I had the same positive experiences here as others have had. I have not had a chance to use their orthotic shoes, but I did have the opportunity to meet with their chiropodist - Catherine Duong.
I came here for a 10 minute assessment to get my ingrown nail looked at and a toe nail that had discolouration. During my consultation I felt extremely rushed and was not diagnosed properly. For example, I was told that the bruise on my toe nail was a fungus and I need to apply medication on it to remove it. It turned out that when I got the toe nail reassess, it was bruise that ended up healing by itself. Another example, was slight swelling near my the side of my big toe. I was given a strong pain killer and told to put medication on it to help reduce it. It turned out to be a hypertrophic scar and not a swelling that needed to be treated with medications. Pushing medications when they aren't need can cause serious harm and before giving them the chiropodist should have made sure that it was indeed what she thought it was.
It is possible these issues could have been avoided if they scheduled me in for a proper consult. I am not sure why they are offering a 10 minute consult when it just leads to misdiagnosis and stress for the chiropodist.
As a result, I would not come here again for any of my orthopedic/chiropodist needs. It is extremely disappointing that this all happened to me as Catherine Duong seems to be more than qualified on paper.
At Align, I had a body align assessment with Brandon. He gave me a very detailed and comprehensive feedback on my body, the postures I use etc, most of which I had no clue about. Once the results came in and O got the orthotic, he showed me exercises I can do to correct them and it's very fascinating to see the mind body connection to correct the posture.
Give these guys a try for sure, the best in the business
It was an extremely pleasant experience; staff very professional and knowledgeable. All information was sent to me via email explaining every single detail. Bravo!
I am really happy with the high level of attention my aching feet received! I believe I received a very thorough assessment and great recommendations. I left with my custom orthotics, two pair of great shoes, and solid advice. Thank you Tavish and Teressa!
Highly recommend coming here for your custom orthotics. Brandon was really awesome to work with, he worked hard to find the perfect shoes for my specific needs and made a high quality durable insoles for them. I definently plan to be a long term customer of this place.
Everyone at align was so friendly and the assessment was really thorough. I really enjoyed watching the gait video again afterwards because I was able to see where it could be improved. The chiropodist, Dr. Catherine, was amazing and they whole team went above and beyond to listen to my concerns and answer my questions with everything from the assessment to at home stretches to choosing the right footwear for my orthotics. I even ended up referring them to several friends & family members!
From start to finish, the experience at Align was great. I got my first appointment within a week of scheduling (there were closer appointments this one just happened to fit perfectly into my day). I got there and spent about an hour with Brandon going over every reason I could possibly need orthotics. The gate (treadmill) test did a great way of showing me problems I didn't even know I had. Due to 20 years of dance, and working two 12-hour shift jobs, I had a lot of unique and highly customizable needs for my orthotics, but Brandon covered them all. My orthotics were ready within 2 weeks. I'm bad at following advice, so instead of easing into my orthotics I wore them for the first time the next day, all day on my 12-hour shift. It went great! I had some original discomfort from now having this extra piece of hardware in my shoe, to not even noticing. Didn't have any pain following my shift, which has never happened. Would recommend Align to anyone, and will definitely be coming back for different shoes.
They are unfortunately on the more expensive side, but it is worth it. They follow you long-term, not just on the first appointment and send you away. It is also covered by my insurance, but check with yours first. You do have to pay everything up front and then get reimbursed.
The facility is small, but nice. Lots of different shoes to show how orthotics can fit into your life.
Detail oriented approach to foot health. I have purchased numerous orthotics and surgical stockings from Align and have been extremely pleased. As an athlete, I have enjoyed comfort and performance. For my dress shoes, I've enjoyed luxury, style and longevity. I have also purchased 2 knee braces and both are the best I've ever used. For comfort, safety and performance. Very expensive but really is the best of the best.
Fantastic experience with very knowledgeable friendly people. They are extremely thorough in their assessment and don’t try to upswell you on merchandise later. Very professional and would highly recommend.
I recommend Pedorthist Tavish 100%. She assessed both myself and my husband and her warm and friendly manner combined with her professional expertise gave us great confidence and pleasure with our experience at Align.
Brought my son in to Align to get fitted for orthotics after he was complaining about foot pain. He had an hour long initial assessment with Brandon, who took great care and made sure my son was comfortable during every step of the process. During the assessment, Brandon answered our questions and made sure to share his findings with us, in a way that made it easier for my son to understand. We highly recommend Align and are looking forward to returning.
Trust me stay away theres alot of better places then this place I had someone analyze the orthotics I got from these guys and they did not match my feet or my new pair that I got from my new place just trust me dont want too get into too much details about this place save your money and get a real pair from a real place not a boutique box shop
I saw an Instagram ad for Align Custom Fit Footwear. From that moment on all I experienced was Professionalism from all of the Staff at Align! They are professional and their communication throughout the whole process is absolutely amazing! Do your feet a favour and make an appointment, you will be very happy that you did! The experience from start to finish was absolutely amazing! The staff is experienced and their orthotics are amazing. I am not waking up with a sore heel any more! Thank you to Brandon and all the Staff at Align Custom Fit Footwear & Footcare Dundas St. Mississauga! I will also be buying more shoes from them as well, good quality and great fit! Cheers, Les M.
Cathy did my "pedicure" and my assessment! She was very professional and educated me very well on my body alignment. She confirmed my leg length discrepancy that I have suspicious of since my second pregnancy! Great experience. And i love my new Asics shoes that Cathy recomended. Highly recommended!
Very happy with the service they provided. Extremely thorough with their assessment, also provided a detailed copy of the assessment for my new custom orthotic insoles. Very current with their 3D scan of my feet that catches every contour. Staff is very pleasant, showroom and consultation rooms are very clean. Pricing was very reasonable to my surprise, also if you are not sure of what your insurance covers they can find that out for you. If your are looking for services for custom orthotics such as insoles or custom orthotic footwear this is the place for you!
It's my second time getting orthotics from Align, but definitely not the last. Was a bit sad to learn that Carlos is gone, but Tavish took care of me all the same. She did the assessment once again and made sure I understand the nitty-gritty details of my body alignment, she's a true professional and posess a very accessible attitude. Next thing I did a medical pedicure with Cathy, she took care of my cracked heels and make me feel pampered, the cream she suggested really works! Thank you Align for making my visit worthwhile during the pandemic!
Align has a great vibe from the moment you walk through the door. It is inviting, modern and comfortable. Staff is super pleasant and polite. I have been struggling with foot pain for years. However, after a very professional consultation with Tavish I now have the tools to improve my foot health. Furthermore I was able to pick up a beautiful pair of Mephistos in a very desireable colour scheme. Highly reccomend this place to anyone who wear shoes.
I just had the most informative one hour session with Brandon. I learned so much about how to get at the source of my hammer toe and bunion and not just short term solutions. So grateful for this experience and very highly recommend align footwear.
We've known Align for couple years now. My husband's knee pain is gone and foot pain reduced greatly after we start using Orthotics from here. We've been working with Carlos who was very thorough and good at looking at the big picture. Everyone here are good at explaining why things happen the way it is and very friendly. It's worthy investment for your body.
Great store with wide variety of custom footwear to fulfill your needs along with awesome customer service. Darius is the master of his art he was thorough in examining my feet and body movements for the purpose of designing custom orthopaedic shoes and orthotics alongside their cutting edge 3d technology, he was really detail in his explanation of findings and recommendations and the end result was great as I am wearing my custom shoes and insoles everyday at work from last 6 months and been really benefited. I was recommended by a friend and I will also recommend Align Custom fit footwear & Footcare to everyone who is looking for in vogue footwear and orthotics and other services offered at their multi faceted store.
Great place for custom footwear and medical pedicure. The staff and owners are always so friendly and welcoming. They're very professional and prioritize your needs. Highly recommend!
Really thorough and detailed assessments. Friendly, professional and fantastic service. Will Definitely recommend this spot for anyone who is need of orthotics.
I thought the happiest day of my life was my wedding day 31 years ago.then came today August 11/20 when Darius and Terresa completed my fitting for new orthotics and brand new pairs of amazingly comfortable sandals/runners and dress shoes. A few weeks ago I went into Align to browse and take a Body Align Assessment. My husband had been at me for years to get a proper assessment but I didn't want to wear "old lady shoes" as i figured that was what was going to happen. Well to my surprise the pleasant atmosphere allowed me to look at an assortment of shoes from Michael Kors, Ted Baker, Bugatti, Sketchers, Clarks and so much more.all at my own pass and then Darius completed a detailed assessment on my VERY FLAT feet. Darius then gave me exercises to improve my gate and foot range of motion. When I slipped into my shoes today I was so happy at the comfort and that it was crazy awesome that I did not even feel the orthotics. I was blown away.never in my wildest dreams would I have ever guessed that shoes could be this comfortable and good for me at the same time. Thank you so very much Darius and Terresa. I can't wait for the fall and winter selections to arrive.
Great service! This is my very first time getting custom insole and the team at Align Custom Fit has been more than helpful. Planning to go back there again.
My feet thank you Align Cutom Fit Footware & Footcare! The entire team is amazing from the moment you walk in to when you leave and come back to pick up your custom orthotics and follow ups. I love my new loafers! Can’t wait to buy some more shoes! And come back for a medical pedi!
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, My family and I have been coming here every year. The orthotics ease my foot pain when I play sports. Highly recommend it
CARLOS, was great and really listened to my feet concerns and understood how to make me feel comfortable @ being a mechanic.they're great over there.he also told me to ice my feet until my orthotics came.
