Dr. Steven K Neufeld

Dr. Nuefeld was outstanding! I tore my Achilles Tendon and he operated on me and put me back together.. Very nice and professional!

I tore my Achilles very badly over the summer. Didn’t go to a primary care doctor just went straight to the foot and ankle center and saw Dr. Neufeld. He got right to the point and told me what my options were. I elected for surgery rather than a hard cast. He spent time answering all of my questions after I was a little nervous. Surgery went well, was walking in a boot after about 2-3 weeks, I could pretty much walk without my boot 2 months post surgery as well. Only thing I would change was going on a rafting trip right before my surgery because I may have injured my Achilles more than it was from my initial injury. Get the surgery out of the way if you have this injury! Thank you Dr. Neufeld I tore my Achilles very badly over the summer.

I would NEVER recommend Dr. Neufeld to anyone. He is verbally abusive and disrespectful. He yelled at a patient so loudly that those in the waiting room could hear him--I was in the waiting room and heard it. This man is a bully and disrespectful and has no business treating patients. I will find another provider based on this experience and would recommend anyone considering him to look elsewhere.

Went to this incompetent hack because my toes were going sideways, due to negligence of podiatrist not being able to fuse big toe on surgery done years before. Neufeld said he could correct the toes going sideways. Instead, he made situation worse and caused toes to OVERLAP. Neufeld butchered my right foot. He also did surgery on my Left foot that had to be redone by another doctor due to the bad hardware he put in. Wish I knew back then what a disaster he is, I wouldn't have ever gone to him.

Horrible surgeon with tons of confidence. Dr. Steven K Neufeld refuses to answer questions about the surgery he’s about to do to my child. He told me “you have to trust me”. REALLY!!!when the patient or the patient’s parents ask you a question you should explain and let them know what you are about to do and how you are going to do it so they feel more comfortable. The end result is constant pain in the foot where the surgery was performed even after eight years have passed. you have to trust him he says!!☹️ Horrible surgeon with tons of confidence.

The practice was always busy when I visited, but the staff worked to keep things moving and so you were seen on time and not left waiting. Dr. Neufeld was great for helping me with my broken foot and was understanding and even encouraging of my desire to stay active while I was healing. Hopefully I won't need his services again, but if I do, I will definitely go back!

Dr. Neufeld removed a rather annoying bone spur from my left achilles. It has prevented my from running for the last several years. Now, 15 weeks after the surgery, I'm running again -- albeit slowly. But that will change with work. I'm so grateful to Dr. Neufeld for doing such a spectacular job. See you on the roads!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Neufeld and his entire practice. From my very first visit to discuss removing my bunion , I was well informed and confident. The surgery went according to plan and recovery was easier than expected. I highly recommend Dr. Neufeld.

Dr. Neufeld is an outstanding surgeon who has operated on both of my feet. The first surgery was to correct a surgery performed by a podiatrist that involved four toes on my right foot. The second surgery was on my left foot to remove a bunion and to repair a hammer toe. The second surgery was performed using minimally invasive techniques on an out-patient basis. Recovery was very quick and uneventful on both surgeries. The pain that I experienced from both feet has been eliminated. Need to give credit to Meghan, a PT person for her work on the bunion/hammer toe. I absolutely love the way my feet look now for the first time in my over 75 years. Thanks so much.

Had broken ankle. Dr. Neufeld was my doctor. He explain very well and helped me get confidence in walking on the foot again.

First expression never lies, doctor S. Neufeld amazing! My minimally invasive bunion surgery (3/16/21) went so well, I had a little pain second day after surgery, which is simply indescribable! I had 3D bunion surgery January 2020, it was a nightmare for 3 months. If I can compare both surgeries, I will say minimally invasive bunion surgery 99% better then 3D. Dr. Neufeld, thank you!

I first met Dr. Neufeld in 2006 when he did my first bunion surgery. And I went to him again this week for a problem with my toe. He is very knowledgeable and gracious with his patients. Even though we now live in Annapolis, I will travel to see Dr. Neufeld for any foot or ankle problem!

After researching for just the right surgeon to do my tendon repair and bunion surgery, I chose Dr. Neufeld based on his experience and knowledge of the problem. He did not fail me. His staff and office are amazing. If I had to note a negative, it would be not spending enough time with the patient. It’s a little too rushed.

Dr. Neufeld is the cream of the crop. I broke my ankle and foot in at least two places, and he had to do complex surgery, including inserting titanium rods. I recovered quickly, and although he gave me plenty of pain medicine, he did such a clean job that I needed very little after the first few days following surgery. He is very responsive, and his physician’s assistant, Nathan, is tops, too. Both are very personable. Dr. Neufeld is one of those people who is so competent that he makes his sophisticated job look easy. Despite all the surgical work this doctor did, my scar from the surgery is barely visible. He was also very responsive to my questions and has a good sense of humor. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.

He is outstanding doctor and. Kind person

As a repeat customer of Dr Neufeld, i agree with others that call out his technical expertise. But after waiting for an hour and forty-five minutes today, to not even see Neufeld, tells me the customer (patient) comes last. I was brought up that being late for a meeting, a conference call, etc. is a sign of arrogance. To keep someone waiting for almost 2 hours without an apology, is beyond arrogance. Maybe he was focused on their new office in Arlington! Hope they are serving 'humble pie' at the grand opening. - Never going back, i can deal with the pain.

Dr. Neufeld completely rebuilt my right foot and ankle in 2006, and it was a great success. Now I’m back because I suspect my left knee problems may be related to my left foot. He has prescribed a brace for the left foot and ankle; we’ll see where it goes from here.

What was your initial medical issue? I shattered my ankle about 13 years ago and though I had surgery right away there wasn’t much of my ankle left to work with so the surgeon placed a lot of hardware in my ankle to connect my leg bones to my foot. What did your pain or other symptoms prevent you doing? As time progressed my ankle became less flexible and less supportive so even simple walking became very difficult. I had pain all the time but especially in the past two years, it became debilitating. Why did you choose Dr. Neufeld and Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center? My sister is an orthopaedic surgical nurse in Denver and she was searching for a surgeon for me and after calling and talking to Dr. Neufeld’s PA suggested I call the practice for an appointment. What procedure/treatment did you have done? Total ankle replacement. How did you feel after your treatment? I woke up one morning about 6 days after my surgery and kept feeling there was something different about the day and then finally realized I was not in pain anymore. I had forgotten what it was like to not be in pain. Through my recovery I did not have to take any more oxy, just took extra strength Tylenol as I needed it and I don’t need it anymore. Do you have any advice for other patients? Follow the Doctor’s, PA’s and medical staff’s instructions. I did and was told more than a few times it was obvious I was doing what I was told and was NOT doing things I wasn’t supposed to and that was why my ankle healed so well. Also, be patient, the healing does take time. And take pain medication if you actually need it for real pain because you do not heal as well if you are in pain. By the by I want to say that after my first call with Dr Neufeld's PA, Dr Sanders, and then after my first appointment with Dr Neufeld I was very optimistic about the procedure Dr Neufeld said he could perform, he has a very positive attitude and interactive style and I am very grateful for what he has done for me. I will also note his PA and the rest of the staff at the practice have always been very kind and supportive and that makes a world of difference when dealing with any medical issue.

Dr. Neufeld did the fusion on my ankle and the outcome is nothing but marvelous, it's not even a year and my gait is almost normal and my pain is almost gone.

In Feb. 2019, I had a bunion removal. There was no pain and 3 1/2 months later I can take hikes and do all daily activities. I am 61 y.o. All the support people who saw me post surgery were professional and worked as a team. I was able to call off hours (and I did) with any concerns or questions. I never felt rushed and Dr. Neufeld is one of the most advanced surgeons that I researched. We live in Maryland and we went to Virginia specifically to have Dr. Neufeld perform the surgery. I am NOT disappointed! Compared to friends who also had bunion removal, I healed quicker because the surgery was less invasive yet comprehensive and well done. I highly recommend The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics and Dr. Neufeld.

I had an ankle fusion done back in 2006 by Dr Neufeld. I’ve had 13 pain free years and was able to return to my previous employer in heavy construction after just 3 months of rehab. And have been doing the same type of work for a combined total of over 25 years now successfully. I would recommend this physician to anyone.

I was essentially crippled and in a scooter. Dr. Neufeld rebuilt my feet and now I walk normally pain-free. You rock, Dr. Neufeld! ☺

January 2007 It began with extreme pain to the touch limited mobility, multiple doctors multiple diagnosis until Dr. Neufeld on February 6, my birthday called to tell me what was wrong he scheduled surgery for March 22,2007. It took almost 2 years to heal, we all heal at different rates, I asked "if I don't get this surgery what will the probable result be?" He said I'd be in a wheelchair. I couldn't see past rehabilitation! So under we went! It's 2017 and if it wasn't for him I would have never accomplished what I have! I have bagged a few 14ers, BEST accomplishment I climbed by hand and foot Mt Elbert 14, 440 feet, Which is the highest peak in the US next to Mt Whitney! I have climbed Pikes Peak 14,115, I have also climbed the Manitou Incline, 2200 vertical feet! I have hiked Mt Bierstadt. I have also hiked 100s of miles of trails and scrambled many of rocks. I owe it all to him, he pushed and pushed and here I am!!!!! Thanks to him and his staff! Without them I would have been in my own way!

Dr. Neufeld did my Achilles repair. I was able to get back to playing football in 6 months vs 10 to 12. This was my second experience with the foot and ankle center. He did the job right and my Achilles looks great. Thanks Steve

Dr. Neufeld, I am pain free! Can't believe that just 3 weeks after starting to wear the new orthotics my foot feels great. Jennifer did an amazing job making my orthotics. Last weekend I enjoyed dancing at my son's wedding with no discomfort. I even played two hours of tennis on Wednesday without pain. I regret not consulting with you when my pain started last fall, I wish I had not wasted time wearing poor fitting orthotics from my previous doctor. Best Regards, Dr. Neufeld, I am pain free!

Run, do not walk from this Dr. He messed up my “routine” bunion so badly, which leads me to believe he has someone else do the routine stuff in the o.r. I can’t believe a surgeon would mess up my foot so badly & the stitches were so crude, not like an experienced surgeon. I only wish I had gone to a podiatrist I/o this fraud, then he didn’t give a damn about my outcome. I had to have 2 subsequent surgeries to correct what this so called Dr did. Be warned!

Dr. Neufeld is not trustworthy. For your well being stay away from him.

I've been to four orthopedic surgeons for the same ankle issue and and he is the first one thinking logically about potential solutions. I appreciate his methodical approach and for not trying to schedule surgery without attempting other remedies.

Dr. Neufeld diagnosed a stress fracture in my right foot after months of pain and frustration due to an incorrect diagnosis by another doctor. Although the first doctor had taken xrays and had tried many different treatments, my foot continued to get worse and the pain intensified. Dr. Neufeld immediately found the source of the problem and began treatment. His staff was very professional; xrays were taken with each visit to make sure the foot was healing properly, and treatment was adjusted as the healing progressed. I was thrilled with his success for not only did my foot heal, but I was able to wear normal shoes for my daughter's wedding!

My foot surgery outcome with Dr. Neufeld has been very poor. It is 29 Dec and my bones still have not healed from surgery performed in early June. I am still in great pain. Dr. Neufeld prescribed meds that have delayed my fracture to heal. It all comes from him being more interested in getting paid that in practicing medicine. Post op care was awful:1) the clinic's PT (Mark Schenkman) made me walk on a broken foot; 2) cast tech's do not know how to apply casts; nurses do not return phone calls

Dear Dr. Neufeld, I wanted to say thank you to you and your excellent staff at the Foot and Ankle Center for the care I received pre op and post op when I had hammer toe correction on my right foot ( February 2012) and later on my left foot ( September 2012). You are certainly a skilled surgeon and your staff and Physician Assistants were professional and compassionate in every way. Kudos especially to Josie and Nate who answered all my questions patiently and completely. Thanks also to you for spending whatever time I needed to explain the procedure I was undergoing. I wish all doctors were like you! Needless to say I am spreading the word to all my friends that I have had an excellent experience and recommend you highly.
