“I Won’t Go To Any Other Podiatrist In The City Again!”

Patient Testimonials

“While experiencing severe foot pain, I was referred to this facility by a friend. I was greeted with kindness and empathy on the phone. Then, when I arrived for my next-day appointment, I further noticed the staff was gentle, kind, and well-trained in providing care. Five stars to the Staff, the Doctor was also awesome.”

–S.B., New Orleans, LA, foot pain patient.

“I've been having pain in my left foot, and Dr. Lang took the time to thoroughly understand what's been going on, come up with a plan, and explain it to me. Not only that, but he personally texted me that evening to ask if I had any questions, which I did. So he went back and forth with me via text until I understood everything. When has a doctor EVER personally texted me before! I also like the ultra-chill "spa vibe" of their office.”

–P., New Orleans, LA, foot pain patient.

“My experience with Dr. Lang and his staff was very gratifying. Everyone was very pleasant and professional. Dr. Lang reviewed my X-rays with me, discussed options, specifically using a conservative approach to alleviating my problem, as well as surgical intervention. I felt that I was definitely part of my care planning. I would highly recommend him!”

–C.H., New Orleans, LA, podiatry patient.

“This is such a wonderful practice! I won’t go to any other podiatrist in the city again! They were able to squeeze me in the same day, and I’m so grateful. The level of care they provide is top-notch, and I felt very comfortable undergoing a procedure I was nervous about beforehand. Definitely recommend!”

–B.H., New Orleans, LA, podiatry patient.

“The office is giving spa vibes. The staff were very nice and attentive. Dr. Lang is excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable and has the best personality. I highly recommend visiting New Orleans Podiatry for your podiatry needs.”

–T.H., New Orleans, LA, podiatry patient.

“Dr. Lang and his staff provide exceptional care and a perfect blend of warmth and professionalism. They take time to listen, explain treatment options clearly, and make sure you are comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommended!”

–B.K., New Orleans, LA, podiatry patient.

“I've been seeing him since like 2005-2006 for bunions when I was a teen. He is so good! I made the mistake of seeing a different doctor for my left bunion...and guess who had to fix it 15 years later? Lol dr. Lang. He's great! And the customer service is off the chain! It's such a good vibe in his office. I will always love the meditation music in the waiting room. I'd highly recommend.”

–R.P., New Orleans, LA, bunion patient.

“I have been going to Dr. Lang at New Orleans Podiatry for over five years now, and I will keep going back for any foot/ankle problems. The staff is friendly and attentive. Dr. Lang listens to your needs and pain issues and is always ready to help find the best solution to minimize pain without forcing patients to go through endless procedures and medications. Nothing but praise for this group. And my ankle is feeling so much better.”

–J.H., New Orleans, LA, ankle pain patient.

“Truly outstanding. They were able to fit me in for a same-day visit when I called. The staff were friendly and quick, and the doctor was wonderful. He figured out the problem quickly and explained everything. I had a lot of questions, and he was patient and knowledgeable. A day later, I’m feeling almost completely better! I really appreciated the follow-up text and the information for how to prevent future problems.”

–K.Z., New Orleans, LA, podiatry patient.

“My experience with New Orleans Podiatry exceeded my expectations! I injured my foot on Monday and, by Thursday, when it wasn’t improving, I knew I had to see a doctor. Didn’t know if I should go to the ER or urgent care. A friend suggested I reach out to a podiatrist directly, so to Google I went. When I called, the receptionist was so friendly and got me in to see the doc within 30 minutes. The office was super nice and clean, and all the staff were above and beyond friendly and helpful. I was in and out with X-rays, a broken foot, and a boot within an hour. They made something unfamiliar and painful so easy and comfortable. The doctor texted me to check in later in the day. Highly recommend!!”

-A.F., New Orleans, LA, foot fracture patient.

“I honestly can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Lang and his staff. I drive an hour and a half to see him because his care is exceptional. He’s thorough, genuinely listens, and always makes you feel taken care of. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate, and he even answers texts after hours, which really shows how dedicated he is. I’m truly grateful for the level of care he provides.”

-K.R., Gray, LA, foot pain patient. Posted: 12-11-2025

"From the minute I called with my concerns was giving an appitment the next day. The staff and doctors are soooo accommodating, friendly and professionals. They explained everything and what was to be expected. This was one of the best experience when visiting a medical facility. The office is very calming and pretty as well. I felt very comfortable from the minute I called until the last minute I left the office. Not to mention the Dr even followed up with a text to make sure I didn’t have any additional questions. Outstanding experience. Thank you all."

-G.C., Chalmette, LA, foot pain patient. Posted: 12-10-2025

"Dr. Lang was very attentive to my issues. Knowledgeable on how to improve in small steps at a time. The staff was welcoming and very helpful with ensuring that all of our needs were met. After our visit, we received text messages to follow-up with any questions or concerns that were missed. I've never experienced that type of service. I will be returning for future visits!"

-N.J., New Orleans, LA, foot pain. Posted: 12-23-2025

I felt like I was in a different Country the entire atmosphere was just a very soothing experience and was very relaxed and needed. Thank you 😊"

-T.J., New Orleans, LA, ingrown toenail. Posted: 01-19-2026

"Dr. Lang and the entire staff are wonderful! Their cheerful helpfulness and incredible professionalism is off the charts. My 11 year old son had a great experience when he had to have an ingrown toe nail removed, so I highly recommend this practice for kids and adults alike. Dr. Lang really listened to us, and he went out of his way to make the process as comfortable as possible for both me and my son. Kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate - he is the doctor you’re looking for. He will follow up with you after your appointments, which is so rare these days. And you can even text them until 9pm during the week and expect a quick response. 10/10."

Concierge Integrative Podiatry is a patient-centered approach to foot and ankle care that combines the precision of modern podiatric medicine with the insight of integrative, whole-body health—delivered through an elevated, concierge-level experience.

At New Orleans Podiatry, we operate as a hybrid practice. While we accept traditional insurance for many services, every patient receives the same level of time, attention, and personalization typically reserved for concierge care. You are never rushed, never overlooked, and never treated like a number.

“Integrative” means we don’t stop at symptoms. We evaluate biomechanics, circulation, nerve health, inflammation, nutrition, healing capacity, and lifestyle factors that influence foot and ankle conditions—especially in chronic, recurrent, or complex cases. When appropriate, care may include advanced imaging, cutting-edge diagnostics, deep-dive laboratory analysis, regenerative therapies such as PRP, and evidence-based functional strategies—alongside traditional medical and surgical treatment.

The result is thoughtful, comprehensive care designed not only to treat pain, but to support stronger healing, better outcomes, and long-term foot health.

When choosing a podiatrist, experience matters—but so does how that experience is applied. The most effective physicians combine years of clinical practice with ongoing education, sound judgment, and a commitment to evolving with the field.

Dr. Edward Lang brings over three decades of experience to New Orleans Podiatry, with broad exposure to a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. Just as important, his surgical and clinical training continues to expand as new techniques, diagnostics, and evidence-based treatments emerge.

New Orleans Podiatry is conveniently located uptown, in the heart of the Freret Corridor at 2626 Jena Street, New Orleans, LA 70115—just one block from Bearcat Café and next door to Baptist Hospital.
