    The doctors at the Running Institute are there to give treatment to runners and other endurance athletes. They give honest and practical advice and the medical conditions that affect runners. Their first advice is not to completely stop running during treatment in order to heal.

    If you end up here, it's likely because you are suffering miserable, unbearable pain that is keeping you from your one true passion...running. I felt like 1 star going in, but 5 stars on my way out.

    The front desk staff were friendly, and it was pretty easy to make an appointment. The doctor was friendly and direct. I had to get a procedure done that I had had done years ago. This doctor was obviously very experienced. It was less painful, and with a quicker recovery than last time.

    It's fair to say that his place is well "run".

    Dr. Michael Chin is an exceptionally talented Doctor and surgeon, who goes above and beyond for his patients. From outside the box problem solving, to responding back from after hours texts, to researching the most innovative techniques. I was very fortunate to be referred to Dr. Chin from my Orthopedist that stated he was the best, a notion I certainly agree with!

    Great customer service and friendly environment. Dr.Jun is top notch- he is patient, understanding, and genuinely cares about patients.

    It's been 15 months since I had reconstructive foot surgery and I'm pretty pleased. Running races and feeling pain free again.

    Decisions on doctors matter A LOT. Treat your body well as its the only one you get and visit The Running Institute for any podiatrist needs!

    The Running Institute is simply the place to go for any foot related pain. I live over 1 hour away and made weekly visits because Dr. Chin and Dr. Ardell truly took care of me.

    ... The amount of patience and knowledge that The Running Institute offers their patients is incredible and I have recommended them to anyone I know that has foot issues. They truly care about their patients and I can't thank them enough for figuring out (and curing!) my foot issues!
