Best podiatrists in California: find options near you

Dr Zimmerman is amazing. Professional yet relatable. He was very thorough and explained everything. He had taken the time to review my history! While my outcome was not the greatest I came away with great understanding and felt hopeful there is a plan. I finally felt heard. One of the best doctors visits I’ve ever had!

Dr. Gavin Glover is exceptional! I had only been to him one other time and referred my son to him as well. During these visits we both agreed he was AWESOME. He’s knowledgeable , personable , humble, and easy to talk to. This past Friday morning I was involved in an accident. I was so grateful that he made time to see me on such short notice. Doctors NEVER do this anymore! It’s so rare to find a physician who combines intelligence, compassion, and humility so naturally. I highly recommend him.

At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, my visit to Dr. Zimmerman's office was the most helpful and reassuring of any physician I have ever seen. It sounds like a lot! But he is an incredibly talented doctor, and has a degree of kindness and compassion that I just have never experienced before. I know that I am in very good hands. His assistants and office staff also reflect his approach: efficient, kind, and thoughtful. I can recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Zimmerman at the Foot & Ankle Institute provided an outstanding experience that exceeded my expectations. From the moment of arrival, the office staff was warm, professional, and highly organized, making the check-in process smooth and efficient. The clinical team was attentive and respectful, ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the entire visit. Dr. Zimmerman himself is exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough, and patient-centered. He took the time to carefully evaluate, explain the diagnosis in clear detail, and walk through all treatment options without rushing. I truly appreciated his ability to combine clinical expertise with genuine compassion. The entire team works seamlessly together, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. It is evident that patient care is a top priority at this practice. I highly recommend Dr. Zimmerman and his staff to anyone seeking expert, attentive, and high-quality foot and ankle care.

We visited Dr. Zimmerman’s office and had a great experience. One of the biggest positives was being able to get a same-day appointment, which made me so happy and relieved. Dr. Zimmerman was super friendly, kind, and attentive throughout the visit. He took his time explaining everything in detail and made sure we fully understood everything he was saying. We never felt rushed, and he truly cared about making us feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

I have been a patient of Dr Hoffman for over 1 year this visit was a follow-up check-up. I was recommended to use a product for my foot discoloration due to past Cancer treatments. I’m doing great, grateful for Dr Hoffman, he takes care of me, EVERYTIME! P.S I don't like to show my feet 🦶🏽 maybe after the discoloration I will show off the results, I will post the product he recommended. Thanks to Bay Area Foot Care

I had a very frustrating experience with Bay Area Foot Care. Before my appointment, I called to ask a simple question: how much I would have to pay with a referral from my doctor. My referral had already been faxed to their office, yet the staff member I spoke with couldn't tell me anything about my costs. Instead, I was told I needed to come to the appointment first to find out what I would owe. When I asked what would happen if I attended the appointment, learned the cost, and decided not to proceed with treatment, I was told I would still be charged for the visit. As a patient, I think it's reasonable to expect at least an estimate of costs before committing to an appointment, especially when a referral has already been received. The lack of clear information made the entire process confusing and frustrating. I hope the office improves its communication and ensures staff are better informed so future patients can make informed decisions before scheduling or attending an appointment.

I really liked Dr. Hoffman. He is very personable and made me feel we could work together towards achieving a solution.

I've used Dr. Lavigna several times over the last 25 years from toenail fungus, plantar and now a heel issue.. the young lady that showed me foot exercises was extremely impressive and I would definitely recommend the Dr. and his team.

I scheduled my appointment online. I received no call beforehand about pricing or any type of instruction. When I call the facility to get information and pricing I was quoted a price of $285. At the office by the Dr I was quoted the same price. However, when I finish my appointment I was quoted a higher price. When I asked how come the price changed she basically said the Dr and who ever I spoke to didn't know their own prices. Which is crazy because there were only two secretaries and I am positive I spoke to her on the phone. Very shady business. Also the worst part is my c/o of an ingrown toe nail still remains except now my toe and nail is now misshapen and the skin around it is constantly peeling from his horrible service. My toe was swollen and numb (which caused me to limp or be able to put a shoe on) for 2 1/2 days after even though I followed the very little instruction they gave me. I will never go to Bay area foot clinic again. I have provided pictures of after the service and now after a month has passed.

I had to wait a little longer than usual for the doctor. Usually I wait less than 10 minutes. They were super busy today. Dr Hiatt was interested and remembered why I was there.

Jonathan Abraham is the best podiatrist !!!!!!!!! I would give him a million stars 🌟 He was super friendly (: he had an amazing attitude he made me feel very comfortable I was very nervous upon my procedure he was very supportive and patient he asked me did I have any questions he will answer ALL that i have he was very considered and caring . If you looking for foot/ankle orthopedics I would highly recommend this office the staff customer service is outstanding as well (: I was very beyond pleased with my visit and the care I received here 😀 Thank you Bay Area Foot Care ❤️

Dr. Au was pleasant and efficient. He clearly communicated about my issue and all my options. The waiting room was less than pleasant but I will return to see Dr. Au if necessary.

Dr. Au is an excellent doctor, but I didn’t like the chair where I sat down was dirty and the tape a coming off the surface, with the edge black, and I think with bacteria. No paper towel or anything to cover where I had to place my feet. -besides, when I arrived, and I signed the list, I noticed another patient has his appointment at the same time, and I ask the lady at the front desk why, and she told me they scheduled two patients at the same hour. I think that is not fair for the doctor who has to work double every appointment and for us, patients. I had to wait almost one hour to be helped by Dr. Au, who did his best, but looked very tired. I also want to thank Ms. Cinnamon because she is the most kind in that office. Thanks

I’ve been seeing Dr Hewlett for several years. He is so nice and extremely knowledgeable. He took care of my problem. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!😁

Dr. Hendricks is amazing! Along with the front desk and all the staff who took the time to explain every step of the procedure, I went in for that day, and she calmed my nerves and trust me I was full of anxiety… thank you to her and all the staff

Dr. Hendricks always makes me feel comfortable. I had gone to her first when she fixed another Dr.’s mistake and I’ve been going to her ever since. Definitely recommend her!

Dr. Au is the best. Very knowledgeable about his craft. Very personal and good bed side manners. Would recommended him if they need a foot and ankle doctor.

I saw Dr. Brian Au yesterday for my right foot. The doctor is an awesome doctor, good listener. He answered all of my questions and spent enough time with me. Thank you so much Dr. Au and keep up the good work

I have been coming to My Foot & Ankle Group for about a year, and I couldn't be happier with the care I've received. The office is always clean, professional, and well-organized. Every member of the staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their patients. The doctors and team take the time to listen, answer questions, and make sure you feel comfortable throughout your visit. It's rare to find a medical office that consistently provides such excellent service and care. I am very grateful I found this practice and highly recommend My Foot & Ankle Group to anyone looking for outstanding foot and ankle care.

I really like the service I received. Dr. Bennett was awesome, So happy I found this place. The experience and treatment I received at this office was 100% Wonderful. Dr Bennett was very patient with me as I was "very" nervous when he mentioned numbing my toe. He answered all my questions and concerns and did a fantastic job with my ingrown toenail. Thank you Christina for holding my hand and Jessica Thank you for being so gentle wrapping up my toe after procedure. Staff is super nice and efficient.

Dr. Yen and the staff are amazing! Had foot surgery yesterday by Dr. Yen and it was flawless. Pain is less than I expected and manageable. From beginning to end of this process was smooth. They cared about me and made sure I was well taken care of. Highly recommend Orange County Foot and Ankle Group in Tustin.

Made an appointment easily on the phone. Saw me on time. Doctor and staff were amazing and very helpful. Explained everything thoroughly and got me out in time for me to get to work. Great place.

So I went here for an ingrown toenail. There were some other issues which Dr. Yen addressed. I decided to use the topical polish and an oral medication. After 2 weeks of the oral medication I had stop. But I still keep using the topical. It has not been quite 2 months since I've been using this but my feet are amazing!!!! I'm not sure where the switch happened but my feet have no dry spots no peeling nothing! The ingrown toenail situation is gone. I can't wait for my follow-up. After many many years of going to a dermatologist and my doctor nobody had ever been able to resolve these issues. So Pleased. Dr.Yen is soooo good!

I Took a resident there on Monday, Foot and ankle of orange In fullerton he never complained.He said that the technician was very, gentle and that the technician did a Great good job the doctor was also Was very kind and professional., .I recommend anyone who needs to see a podiatrist.To go there. here is a before and after photo Of his feet nails fantastic job…🤗

Went to OC Foot & Ankle Group in Fullerton and had a great experience in the office. Initially my experience with the staff was not great over the phone regarding my insurance. Wasn’t too happy with how they handled the situation. Wrote a review on Yelp and the office supervisor, Susan, reached out to me privately the following day. She was very appreciative of my feedback. She emphasized their focus is on patient care and great customer service and apologized that my experience was not so great. We went over my new insurance information and she helped me schedule a new appt in a couple of days so the doctor can help me with my foot pain. Went today and saw Dr. LeJeune. He was great in explaining the cause of my big toe pain and provided treatment right away. The front office was great from check-in to check-out and Susan was very helpful. I have a follow up appt in 3 weeks. I’m glad I gave them a second chance and they did not disappoint.

I came to my first appointment anxious about my evaluation. By the end, I felt completely different. Derek and Mimi were exceptionally attentive to the issues I was describing, and made me feel seen and heard. I felt confident about Dr Avi’s plan and work-up and I especially appreciated the referral he made for me to be seen at another specialist facility.

From the moment I walked into the office, Derrick made me feel welcomed and completely at ease. His patience, professionalism, and positive attitude stood out right away. No matter how many questions I had, he answered each one with kindness and never made me feel rushed. By the end of my visit, I realized it’s not often you leave a podiatry appointment smiling let alone laughing! The doctor was just as impressive. Compassionate, attentive, and genuinely invested in my well-being, they took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explain everything clearly. I left feeling reassured, respected, and confident that I was receiving outstanding care. What truly sets this practice apart is the entire team. Everyone works together to create a welcoming, caring environment where patients feel like more than just an appointment on the schedule. If you’re looking for exceptional podiatry care with people who truly care about their patients, I can’t recommend this office highly enough.

Eazy Foot & Ankle is a top tier medical provider. Derek, the office manager was phenomenal. Derek was extremely diligent and accommodating. He was empathetic to my situation and made sure I received the highest quality care. Dr. Elhiani was superb. The Dr. is very approachable and down to earth. He provided the proper assessment of my situation and immediately offered solutions towards my healing and recovery. I highly recommend their services to anyone suffering from foot and ankle complications. 5 stars all around!

I first saw Dr Elhiani 4-years ago, and just returned to his office for a separate issue after seeing two other podiatrists and an orthopedic foot/ankle specialist within my HMO network who couldn't seem to address the issue, I decided to go out of network, and they were very accommodating. My first experience was great, and my second experience even better. He is a really good doctor and has a very well run office thanks to Derek. I felt very listened to and cared for. I would highly recommend Eazy Foot & Ankle.

The new place is spacious and beautiful. I have been a patient of Dr Klemmes for over twenty years, and I recommend him very highly. His treatment is always perfect, fast and friendly. He has a very light touch. Again, Dr Klemmes is perfect, and I very highly recommend him

I recently visited this office to have an ingrown toenail removed and a thickened toenail shaved down due to fungus. Not exactly a fun experience to look forward to, but I couldn’t have asked for a better visit! Derrick was absolutely wonderful. He held my hand throughout the entire procedure, which made a world of difference. I was nervous going in, but his calm, reassuring presence put me completely at ease. Both procedures were quick and virtually painless. I was honestly amazed at how smoothly everything went. The staff as a whole were excellent; friendly, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. From the moment I walked in, everyone made me feel comfortable and well cared for. If you’re putting off a foot issue because you’re dreading the procedure, don’t! This office will take great care of you. Highly recommend!

This was my first visit to Easy F & A and already feel like I’ve been going there for years. A special thanks to Derek and the crew for making me feel so welcomed and well cared for. Dr Linda was very professional and knowledgeable as were the entire team. The clinic was clean. In my opinion their name, Easy Foot and Ankle is well deserved 🙂

Dr.Coldy Berger thank you for taking care of my foot he's the best I've been seeing him for all my foot pain walked out of there a happy patient yesterday I was in so much pain. I feel at lot better my feet are not the best but if I can walk I can do anything and being comfortable on my feet is everything. Especially with the kinda work I do… Also the office has great customer service from the front desk to the nurses. Most definitely recommend this doctor ,and office.

A fantastic experience from start to finish! Receptionist very courteous and checked me in. The doctor himself saw me and made recommendations! Very caring, deeply concerned! The young lady who escorted me in the examination room was very friendly and smart: told me what would happen and gave me next steps! Excellent visit! The young lady who took care of my feet did a wonderful job—my feet looked amazing and she also fitted me for other devices! She was also person, professional and caring. Dr Berenter has a great staff, lovely offices! I really liked how clean and neat every office was and how his certifications were well-apppointed

Dr. Berger has been taking care of my foot since surgery since day one! If you need correct, and professional surgery done the correct way, I they recommend him!!! – Matthew

They are challenging to work with when renewing prescription. Forced to visit office to just renew prescription. Care was good otherwise but feels dated for a healthcare provider in 2026. They need a tech upgrade (website, prescriptions) and get organized.

Trying to speak to someone via phone at the office is very difficult. They have a service that answers the phone and all you can do is leave message as no one is ever available and the MA never calls back. Office should have submitted my prescription on Wednesday – nothing was submitted, I called Friday to see if there was an issue and no called back, I called again in Monday and of course the office is unavailable again and the MA will call me back – Right. I also had to wait over 50 minutes after I was taken back to a room to see the doctor. No one had the decency to let me know they had an emergency and would be running behind. This place has extremely Poor Poor customer service. I'm switching to a different office. Don't go to the La Mesa office.

Billing Nightmare!! Like some other reviewers here who have experienced the same horrible service, we've also been over-billed by $1k's for orthodics! After 4+ months of numerous phone calls to the doctor's office and billing department, it's still not resolved! And we keep on getting bombarded with harassing texts, emails, mails, that we are late on our payments. The office has already sent a note to the billing department that we're not responsible for the extra charges, and yet nothing has been done. This is wasting too much of our time, and causing a lot of stress! We never want to put any negative reviews online, to give people a chance to correct themselves. But we're at our breaking point regarding this terrible billing service! We hope management will step in and resolve our bills quickly and satisfactorily and we will remove this post. Thank you.

Communication has been infuriating. Saw Dr. Berger early last month who was quick to come to the conclusion that there's nothing that can be done about the pain I'm experiencing with my curled/hammered toes or Achilles. He was OK with proceeding with orthotics upon my insistence, so his nurse took the scans and said I'd get a call within the week once they heard back from insurance. I called the practice after 10 days of radio silence, and the person who took my call was dismissive and just said "still waiting," with no further information about what to expect or how much longer it'd take. By day 15, I sent a message through the online portal prompting for an update, which has never been acknowledged despite the "reply in 2 business days" promise. Meanwhile, my PT actively scoffed at the doctor's fatalistic conclusion and has already made some progress with my pain, with the caveat that using the orthotics during sessions will make his efforts more successful. 2 weeks ago (on day 22) I called to check in again, and the woman I spoke to said that the claim had been authorized in full 2 days prior. It was like pulling teeth getting her to explain anything further, but I got her confirmation that this meant there was no copay, and that the practice was then actively working on preparing the orthotics for my pickup in 2-4 weeks. While I was frustrated with the lack of call to inform me (and the stale unread message in the portal), I was thrilled to be proceeding, and then surprised to receive a call today when that seemed a bit early given the track record thus far… While the woman on the phone today was the kindest and most informative person I have spoken to throughout this journey, her call was to notify me that insurance had rejected the orthotics and it's $600 out of pocket!!! I asked for clarification since this was in such stark contrast with what'd been communicated to me prior, and she informed me that insurance had authorized the claim with ANOTHER supplier. I understand that insurance can be frustrating and everyone is busy, but I have been waiting in pain for 5 weeks now just to find out that it's been wasted time due to their communication failure. I hope they learn from their mistakes and train their front desk staff on how to interpret whatever was misread to me on their end, and that this provider may receive the further training needed to be able to offer solutions beyond "try some toe spacers on Amazon" or refer out to more advanced physicians so that "there's nothing that can be done" isn't considered an acceptable conclusion to a visit.

The doctor made sure I was comfortable and not in any pain no matter how long it took she calmed my Nerves and listen to any concerns that I may have had an answered every question honestly. I had a fantastic experience

I appreciated having access to the forms I needed to fill out prior to the appointment. There were a few forms to fill out at the visit but they only needed signatures. I was even able to pay my copay before hand. Dr. Peter Herr is highly skilled, patient, very down to earth and easy to talk to. He is thorough and upfront. I was really nervous to go in but the visit was great and they were able to take care of everything with this visit. Thank you!

Long time to get appt, 6 months. Dr Thai is wonderful. She’s no nonsense, right to the point, full of info but answers every question and concern. I don’t know how long her response to my GP will take, but she was concerned and I trust her.

The entire staff and especially Dr Thao are all compassionate, very pleasant people! I very much like that Dr Thao takes the time to explain things to me in detail. It is so helpful to have such a wonderful Dr such as her.

The entire MFA staff is equally deserving of praise. Everyone is welcoming, courteous, and professional, creating a comfortable and positive experience from the moment you walk through the door. Their teamwork and dedication make every visit efficient and stress-free.

Your staff was great. They made me feel comfortable and welcome. The only problem I had was the time. I live about 50 miles away and use Call The Car for rides to the doctor out of town. I told them I would 1 ¹/²hrs., which I thought would give me lots of time, but I wasn't out waiting for them and I had to call for another ride causing me to wait another hour+ to get home. Please, when making appointments for out of towners tell them it could take 2 or more hours?

Very friendly staff. Questions answered. Appointment time ran behind. But staff was not rushed. They took time to listen to you and concerns. Dr. Herr very nice and explained my concerns. Follow up appointment given before I left. I am definitely going to stay with this doctor's clinic

We had a fantastic experience with Dr. Nejat. He took the time to thoroughly assess my child's flat feet/walking alignment and provided a clear, actionable treatment plan. Their expertise in pediatric foot care is evident, and he treated my child with the utmost patience and respect. The front desk staff made scheduling and check-in a breeze. I am so glad we found a specialist we can trust. Furthermore As a ER doctor I was very impressed with his explanation, approach and dealing with a child with flat feet.

I had a really positive experience and can’t recommend Dr.Nejat enough. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel comfortable and at ease, which made a big difference for me. He took the time to listen carefully and never made me feel rushed. He answered all of my questions and addressed every concern I had. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I felt confident about my care moving forward. Overall, I felt genuinely cared for and respected throughout the entire visit.

Dr. Nejat is an exceptionally professional and experienced physician, as well as kind and patient with his patients. I visited his office immediately after breaking my ankle. He promptly completed a thorough evaluation and arranged my surgery in less than 24 hours. His efficiency and decisiveness were truly impressive. Following the surgery, I had two additional follow-up visits, during which he carefully monitored my recovery and ensured everything was healing properly. Had I gone to the emergency room, I likely would not have received surgery as quickly. I am extremely grateful that I chose to seek care at his office. I also appreciate his staff which are always respectful and responsive in sequencing my appointments.

This doctor is professional, approachable, and very knowledgeable. He listened carefully to my various health concerns and offered valuable advice. However, I had called to schedule a medical pedicure and feel misled by the office who confirmed I would be getting one. After upfront payment, the doctor explained during the appointment that they don't offer regular medical-grade nail care unless intervention is deemed necessary.

Dr. Nejat was professional and kind. He created a relaxed atmosphere that was greatly appreciated. He answered all my questions and offered a simple and effective treatment. Highly recommended!

I called Dr. Nejat’s office Monday morning and they were kind enough to squeeze me in same day due to a very painful in-grown nail. The front staff was friendly and Dr. Nejat was extremely thorough and professional. He performed a procedure and I was out of the office within an hour. Highly recommend Dr. Nejat for any podiatry needs.

Dr. Nejat is by far one of the best providers I have seen. He makes you feel very comfortable and is very polite with the issue you present him with. The office staff is also very welcoming.

Amazing staff from the nurses to the Doctors. Always treat me with respect and care. Would recommend them 👌 👍 The clinic and patient rooms are always so clean and decorated I love it so much!

First time there, and staff was very friendly and helpful. Doctor explained everything clear and understandable to me. Differently would recommend them.

I came in for wound evaluation, X-ray review, and circulation concerns, but the visit quickly turned into a push to sell me shoes. Then an appointment was created that I never scheduled, and I was billed for services I did not receive. Extremely concerning billing practices and very disappointing patient care experience.. Please avoid at all costs!

All the staff was polite and very attentive, from the front office to the nurses and Doctors. I recommend California Foot and Ankle clinic to everyone. I had a good experience with everyone. I’ve been to foot Doctors they been ok but, the Doctors from Foot and Ankle clinic the best . I went to 4843 Arlington Ave in Riverside 👍

The doctor was so caring and knowledgeable. The front desk was very helpful and kind. I highly recommend!

Once again, I had the greatest experience with Dr. Naei and her staff. Dr. Naei is so exceptional, professional and treats you with kindness and is very caring. What’s strange is she looks so young and yet her experience shows as she treats you. with exceptionally tender care.She’s very professional, knowledgeable and Efficient. Dr. Naei and her staff treat you like you are part of the family. I actually look forward to my next appointment with her.

I was able to make an appointment for the same week that I called in. I had to wait a bit once I arrived at the office, but the wait was worth it. Dr. Korrapati is personable, extremely knowledgeable, confident, and doesn’t rush to prescribe or do anything unnecessary. And he’s adorable, to boot. He came highly recommended by my husband, and I concur. Yvette, at the front desk, has the kindest demeanor of any front desk person I’ve ever come across (and that is saying a lot!).

Dr. Korrapati is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. He takes the time to listen and establish a treatment plan based on your particular situation. I appreciate his timely evaluation and explanation of the feet and ankle anatomy. The staff is also very personable and efficient. The welcoming office environment was appreciated. Im very pleased with the level of service and care I received. Thanks to all.

I visited University Foot and Ankle Institute for my foot problems, Dr. Hoda was fantastic! She was friendly, professional and spend time patiently to clearly explain what can be done for my foot issues. The rest of the staff were also great. Thank you so very much.

Hi, my name is Kenneth D., and I recently had my first visit to the University Foot and Ankle Clinic. I am incredibly impressed with the level of care and professionalism I received. Having dealt with my foot issue for a while, I was a bit nervous about a new doctor's office, but the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the front desk staff was welcoming and helpful. Check-in was a breeze, and I didn't have to wait long before I was called back for my appointment, which I greatly appreciated. I saw Dr. Hoda Naei, who was absolutely wonderful. They had an amazing bedside manner and took the time to listen intently to my concerns without making me feel rushed. Dr. Naei performed a thorough, hands-on examination and used in-house digital X-rays to obtain a precise diagnosis on the spot. What truly stood out was how Dr. Naei explained everything in detail. They showed me exactly what the issue was and laid out all my treatment options, ensuring I understood each one and was comfortable with the suggested path forward. They focused on a personalized approach that fit my lifestyle and goals, prioritizing conservative options before considering more invasive options. The facility itself was modern and impeccably clean. Most importantly, I left the office feeling heard, confident in my diagnosis, and optimistic about my recovery plan. I can honestly say it was one of the best medical experiences I've ever had. I highly recommend the University Foot and Ankle Clinic to anyone experiencing foot or ankle problems. The entire team is top-notch, caring, and professional.
