Dr Amol Saxena Testimonials
“A few years ago, I was competing for Brigham Young University. After a strong freshman year and leading our team at the 2015 NCAA Cross Country Championships—I began experiencing pain in my foot, a navicular stress fracture. Thanks to Dr. Saxena’s skill and ongoing support, I was able to return to competitive running. I become an NCAA All-American, Mountain West Conference Cross Country Champion, and still hold the conference 8K championship record.”
Dallin Farnsworth
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Saxena’s for over 20 years, and he’s treated me for everything from sprained ankles to bunion surgery, Achilles repair, and more. His skill, experience, and compassion are second to none. Thanks to him, I’ve stayed active and running pain-free through the years. Simply put, he’s the best.”
