Santa Clarita Valley, are you ready for world-class foot and ankle care right in your neighborhood? We’re thrilled to introduce Eazy Foot of Santa Clarita—your new go-to podiatry practice serving Santa Clarita, Newhall, Valencia, Saugus, and Canyon Country.
Located on Lyons Avenue in historic Newhall, we’re bringing something special to Santa Clarita Valley: three board-certified foot and ankle surgeons with exceptional training from UCLA, VA Greater Los Angeles, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Whether you’re a trail runner tackling Santa Clarita’s 100+ miles of hiking paths, a parent keeping up with your kids at Six Flags, a weekend warrior with a nagging sports injury, or someone managing diabetic foot health, we’ve got the expertise to help you.
Our practice is led by Dr. Michael Pilkington, who brings his sports medicine expertise and commitment to conservative care from his training at UCLA and the VA. He’s joined by Dr. Aasin Tareen and Dr. Albert Elhiani—both Chief Residents at the prestigious Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Together, these three surgeons bring decades of combined experience and complementary specialties to serve your family’s foot and ankle needs.
What makes us different? We’re not just another medical office. We’re your partners in keeping Santa Clarita Valley active and pain-free. From toddlers taking their first steps to active seniors refusing to slow down, we treat patients of all ages with personalized, compassionate care. And because we know how busy life in Santa Clarita can be, we often offer same-day appointments and accept most insurance plans.
If you’re looking for a podiatrist who truly understands the active Santa Clarita lifestyle, Dr. Pilkington is your doctor. With a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology from the University of Utah, he knows how the body moves—and how to get it moving again when foot and ankle issues strike.
Dr. Pilkington earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the California School of Podiatric Medicine at Samuel Merritt University. He then completed his rigorous surgical residency at two of the most respected medical institutions in Southern California: VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System and Olive View-UCLA Medical Center. This training gave him exposure to everything from routine foot care to complex trauma and limb-saving surgeries.
Today, Dr. Pilkington holds privileges at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center—a testament to his surgical excellence and professional standing. But what really sets him apart is his approach: he believes in exhausting advanced conservative treatment options before considering surgery. That means you’ll never feel rushed into a procedure you don’t need.
Here’s what makes Dr. Tareen unique: he’s been in your shoes—literally. As a former foot and ankle patient himself, he understands exactly what you’re going through and is deeply committed to getting every patient back on their feet again.
After attending the University of California Irvine and serving as President of his Medical University at Barry University in Miami, Dr. Tareen completed his surgical residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles—one of the nation’s most prestigious training programs. He was honored to serve as Chief Resident, where he trained under some of the most world-renowned foot and ankle surgeons in the entire United States.
Dr. Tareen has worked with professional sports organizations treating elite athletes, and he’s published numerous papers in medical journals advancing the field of podiatry. But don’t let his impressive credentials intimidate you—his personal experience as a patient gives him a unique empathy and understanding that patients truly appreciate.
Dr. Elhiani brings double board certification to Santa Clarita—certified by both the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine. That’s a rare combination that demonstrates exceptional expertise across all aspects of podiatric care.
A proud USC Trojan, Dr. Elhiani earned his kinesiology degree from the University of Southern California before graduating with honors from Samuel Merritt University’s College of Podiatric Medicine. He completed his surgical residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he served as Chief Resident and assisted in over 300 surgeries.
What makes Dr. Elhiani special for our diverse Santa Clarita community? He speaks English, Spanish, and Hebrew, making expert care accessible to more families. He’s also a published researcher who presents his work at international conferences, constantly advancing the field of podiatry. And when he’s not in the office, you might find him on medical missions to Mexico, Israel, or Honduras, providing surgical care to underserved communities.
Sports Medicine & Athletic Injuries – With three doctors trained in sports medicine, we’re perfectly positioned to treat Santa Clarita’s active community. Trail running injuries, hiking-related foot problems, youth sports injuries, tennis elbow’s cousin (plantar fasciitis!), and everything in between—we’ve treated professional athletes and weekend warriors alike.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery (MIBS) – Dr. Elhiani’s specialty. This cutting-edge technique uses tiny incisions instead of large cuts, which means less pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery. Best part? You can walk immediately after surgery. No more months in a cast!
