Testimonials

Dr. Lanier is an amazing podiatrist!! I had a horribly painful ingrown nail and she fit me in immediately! She went the extra mile and it was extremely helpful!

He is attending that takes care of me when I come in is awesome Dr. Farmer is a awesome doctor that takes his time and see what the problem is and assess it and also breaks it down and tell you what you have to do to get back to a good position of getting back healthy and he explains to his patient what to do and how to do he doesn't just say do this and leave the room he tells you where you're at in healing and he tells you if you are doing good or it's something you're not doing he's a doctor that you can talk to. You don't find that often. They are some doctors that come in the room and say is this that and that and leave the room he explains the status of where you're at

I have been going to Cutting Edge for over two years and consider the practice to be one of the best foot & ankle doctors in Tennessee. Dr. David Farnen is a caring, friendly and knowledgeable DPM.

Dr Farnen is THE BEST!!! Beside is over the top best care I ever received from a consulting doctor. Office staff is great as well, made the followup care easy and fast.

What a great experience! I was able to get an appointment within a week's time. The entire office staff was pleasant and courteous. Dr. Lanier is so knowledgeable and approachable. She made me feel so positive about resolving my foot issues. I walked out of the office without pain!

The staff was friendly, the wait time wasn't long. Dr. Farnen was excellent, he discussed foot care with me, recommended a cream, and and regiment for my feet and tie nails. I would refer anyone who wants good foot care to them.

Great place staff was helpful and very polite. Dr. Farnen is very knowledgeable, nice, and funny. Best dr I have been to in my life.

Dr. Farnen took his time to chat and get to know me which I thought was really cool. The procedure on my toe was really quick and as painless as possible. The rest of the staff was very nice and helpful as well. I highly recommend them!

Very pleasant staff. More importantly, Dr. Farnen’s treatment of my toenails was the best ever.

Wow! I have never met a more caring doctor. He was friendly, caring, exceedingly capable, and efficient. The entire staff could have that said of them from check-in to check-out and everything in between!

I have never been to a doctors office were the staff were second to none, they are the most kind people who you can tell truly cares about the patience and takes pride of what they do. The nurse explained every step he did as did the doctor, in a bad situation I'm happy I see them.

Dr. Farnen does a great job with my 91 year old Dad and 85 year old mother. He cares and is always very friendly. They both have diabetes and he sees them approximately every 10-12 weeks.

I could not have asked for better care. Dr. Farnen is kind and personable. Initially the goal was to avoid surgery, but my foot didn't cooperate. I absolutely did not feel rushed or pressured into the surgery decision. My surgery went as smoothly as possible, I've had excellent emotional support, pain control, and advice, and my 'new' foot looks great and is healing well. I highly recommend Dr Farnen to anyone who needs a foot specialist.

I Highly recommend Dr. Hyde @CuttingEdgeFootandAnkle He is absolutely wonderful. He takes his time to explain, then he makes sure your fully understand. He's a honest and caring man. If your feet hurt, go see him. I did & I'm very pleased with my decision.

Great staff here! I got in and out of my appointment quickly and seamlessly and everyone was very kind!

Great people there. Dr. Fernen is great. I'm always taken care of with expertise and professionalism.

Dr Farmen is one great foot doctor he had gotten my heals healed. I didn't that would have happen they were so messed up because of pressure wounds.he went beyond his duty to get me well again.

Good visit. Dr. Lanier was very nice and knowledgeable. I kept waiting for pain to start after the procedure. Never happened. Not even sore the next day. Best podiatrist visit I’ve ever had. Highly recommend Dr. Lanier.

idk about you but i hate getting my toes sliced open but dr. david doesn’t berate me when i cuss him out about it and he’s got mad jokes which are much appreciated. 👍🏼

The staff are very courteous and professional, something that is very rare in today's world.
I gladly recommend this office to anyone who has foot issues!

I like her doctor manner right to the point making you feel confident with what's going with your problem.

Went to the White House location with 2 issues. Great bedside manner and explanation of what’s going on.

Dr Farnen has a great bedside manner and was very helpful with my diagnosis.

The ladies at the front desk were very helpful too.

Thank you

I just love the environment and the staff are wonderful & Dr. David I couldn’t ask for a better doctor/ person he is the best.

Everyone should come to the Cutting-edge for excellent foot care. I walked in this morning with pain in both feet, I left the office feeling so much better. My pain was gone! The staff was very good also! Dr. Farren takes great care of his patients! Thanks to everyone at the cutting edge! I'm a happy patient now!

Love this place the doctor and assistant flex is amazing and very friendly I went in with a lot of foot pain and come out with a boot and a shot in my foot and no pain at all the next morning I felt amazing I would recommend this place to anyone with foot pain.

The staff and doctor were friendly. Great communication before the appt. The appointment did not last long and I didn’t get to ask all of my questions. Hope the treatment works.

I have been very pleased with Dr. Farnen and the staff at. Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle Clinic. I could not have asked for better care or a better surgeon than Dr. Farnen.

Dr. Farnen was excellent. He explained everything so that I understood what he was meaning, which is important. The worst thing is going to a doctor and them telling you something but you leave not knowing truly your circumstances. This was NOT the case here and that meant a great deal. He was also personable with GREAT bedside manner! I would suggest him to anyone looking for this type of care.

I love coming here for my plantar fasciitis even though the shots hurt but I have noticed a huge difference and the staff is amazing there I always laugh with dr Lanier she is the best and super funny

Very nice and helpful staff. Cannot say enough about Dr.Farnen. From the very first appointment he had me walking without pain. He is awesome!!

Have seen Farnen for just over 6yrs now. This office so far has been the best. Only downside I wish would change is the Brentwood office be open at 7am. Will always stick with Dr David Farnen as my podiatrist. Best in the state of Tennessee based off personal experience.

I just love visiting cutting and edge foot because they staff is very friendly and my Dr is so caring and loving I just love her ☺ and her up lifting sprit.

My toe started hurting on Monday by Friday it was unbearable. I called 2 other offices that couldn’t see me till the following week. Cutting Edge was so very helpful. They made time to see me within the same hour. While having my toenail was removed it was not pleasant I was extremely grateful for Everyone from the receptionist, the nurse, the doctor( Dr. Lanier) and everyone involved at my care. The doctor even told me I could call her on the week over the weekend if I needed to. Very compassionate and great customer service skills!

As a diabetic patient, Dr. Farnen has been a lifesaver...literally. He is treated me for some time now including two surgeries. His knowledge and skill in his clinical treatment and as a surgeon are very impressive. I'm never rushed and he always, I mean always, takes the time to talk with me and hear my fears and concerns. When my wife needed treatment there was no question that she would see Dr. Farnen as well. He is more than just a good physician, he is a good person.

Dr. Farnen treated my daughter and he is absolutely amazing with kids! He is very positive and upbeat and did great at setting her at ease before her procedure. He fixed my daughter's issue and we have had zero issues since then! He takes the time to get to know his patients and I never felt rushed while in the office. I also referred my neighbors and they love him as well. I highly recommend Dr. Farnen!

I highly recommend the doctors and staff at Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle Clinic! I was in so much pain until I went to the clinic. They were personable, caring and competent! What more can you ask for? Thanks guys!

I have had bone spur PAIN for 7 months gong to different Dr and $1,000 in therapy.
I switched to Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle Clinic in Pleasant View. A shot and two weeks in a boot, I can wear shoes for the first time and no pain. Dr. Lanier was amazing, got right to the heart of the problem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, great staff too! Thank you so much.

Being new to the area, I looked for a doctor who was near my location, yet knowledgeable. This place is fantastic! Everyone from the front desk to Dr. Kidanu were friendly and helpful. Dr. Kidanu answered all of my questions, reassured me, and was highly knowledgeable in her field. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

Dr. Lanier is absolutely amazing she did surgery on my foot for a moment sperm and also fixed my achilles tendon she is absolutely wonderful patient kind the staff and the staff is wonderful just all-around great care very gentle with everything I give her 10 Stars if I could

Very professional and friendly.
Dr. Lanier is the best. Exam my foot, exactly what was wrong and how to treat it. Very next day I was feeling better. I highly recommend.

I went here for the first time a few weeks ago to see about my feet issues. When I first walked through the door the staff was welcoming and very professional. Dr. Kidanu was very nice and thorough when she explained my feet issues with me. She is my 4th podiatrist that I’ve visited. I feel at home when I come for my office visits. I would highly recommend Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle Clinic to anyone that needs to see a Podiatriast about their feet issues.

I don’t live in Tennessee but I was desperate to see a foot dr. The two I already saw at home did not help me. I looked up a dr near me, came across this office and after seeing the reviews I decided what the heck. From the phone call to make the appointment til I walked out the door was a very pleasant experience. Professional, friendly, compassionate, and dr Kidanu took the time to talk and explain what my problems were and what would help me. I would highly recommend this office and dr kidanu to anyone !!!!!

I saw Dr. Kidanu at the White House location for an ingrown toenail and some
issues with RA. The ENTIRE staff was kind, personable and made me feel at ease.
Dr. Kidanu is truly one of the best Doctors I have encountered. She was truly kind, knowledgeable and put me at ease. She answered questions about the RA I have been seeking for 3 years. She was also very gentle with the shots and removing the ingrown portions of my toenail. If you want to be treated like a human being and not a number, this is where you need to go! Truly a breath of fresh air in the medical community. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Good people here! Dr. K (Eleni Kidanu) helped me with my foot/ankle. Cut my pain in half with no drugs or surgury. Looking forward to getting even better with more time.

Thanks Dr. K

Words alone can not express our genuine appreciation for Dr. Lanier, She was patient and has a loving &caring way of giving her support through all our ups and downs. My mother has non-healing diabetic ulcer where we saw Dr. Lanier weekly at the wound care center. All your efforts never went unnoticed and are genuinely appreciated as well as received.

My first experience having my extremely tender wound on my foot cleaned up by Dr. Lanier was amazing. Such a different way of handling things (especially my foot!). She listened and adjusted and was gentle but thorough, I could not believe how much she cared how I felt as she got the job done.

Dr. Lanier was prompt, courteous, and down to earth. She explained options succinctly and clearly and ensured my questions were answered. Should I need additional podiatry services, I will follow her to TN.

Dr. Lanier, Just a note to tell you how much I appreciate your outstanding foot care. Additionally, your splendid personality and empathy is greatly admired. You are an exceptional medical provider.

I met Dr Lanier first year of her residency, as a young physician out I was pleased how highly professional, courteous, knowledgeable and caring she was. She made ample time to listen and worked with me to find solutions to my podiatry needs.
