I sat in his exam room engaging with united healthcare to authorize orthotics for nearly 2 hours. His staff amended in and out saying the need the room but Dr. Levi asked them to be patient. He doesn't need to work, you a tell that from his success and all the celebrity letters. He does it for the passion. He's also pragmatic, isn't 'hand-wavy' with new tech, and focuses on fundamentals. For example, he used traditional hand casts for orthotics vs. lasers. Gotta say, I like these. The only minor area for improvement is the administrative side; the office a digital experience for tracking billing, viewing receipts, or managing records online. It's a bit of a manual process, but honestly, for the level of care and expertise Dr. Levi provides, it is a very small price to pay. If you want a podiatrist who actually cares about the 'why' behind your pain, this is the place to go.

Dr. Yoo is absolutely amazing! He was so patient and friendly when it came to my diagnosis and made…read morethe appointment so relaxing. I was super scared coming in for my bunions and corns and he completely reassured me and calmed me down. He explained the process with full detail and clarity and answered all of my questions with patience. The office itself is so clean and in a great location with a beautiful view. You can tell that the employees here care about their patients. I had a bunion on the edge near my 1st toe and 5th hammer toe surgery done and Dr. Yoo and his staff made it such an easy procedure for me, especially it being my first surgery ever. The operating room has a beautiful view of Santa Monica Pier and they played my favorite song (Coldplay - 'Yellow') so I felt really calm. He explained every step with so much detail so that I wouldn't be afraid and knew exactly what was going on. If you get queasy easily then don't look at the pictures! Dr. Yoo takes his time with every one of his patients and really makes you feel comfortable. He'll answer whatever question you have and will make sure you fully understand what's going on before continuing. Thank you Dr. Yoo and your team for taking care of me!

I've been to several podiatrists in the Santa Monica/West LA area…read more One podiatrist was nice but his office manager always messed up my insurance/billing! She was a (much older) woman so I tried to cut her some slack but after 3 times (and one *repeated* bill that was sent to collection--IN ERROR)-- I had to find someone else. It wasn't worth the headache. I also seemed to be his only patient under 75. Not a big deal--I just felt like my painful corn,etc. issues were not given as much attention as perhaps the concerns of his other patients. Dr. Yoo was super attentive and listened my questions/concerns thoroughly. He's a doctor you can relate to while also knowing his stuff! And I've never had an insurance/billing problem!

The moment I walked into Dr. Dixon's office, I was struck by the unwelcoming atmosphere and the sheer lack of professionalism. Dr. Dixon has the worst bedside manner I've ever encountered. She is not only dismissive but also outright rude. When I tried to explain my symptoms of a sprained ankle/foot, I was met with very little feedback and hardly any advice on next steps. It was clear that my concerns were not taken seriously. Dr. Dixon seemed more interested in cutting the appointment short than actually diagnosing or treating my issue. I left the office feeling frustrated and still in pain, with no real understanding of what was going on with my foot/ ankle. I had to call almost daily to get follow ups on insurance and MRI appointments. The Imagining center kept telling me Dr. Dixon's office was not responding to them in order to schedule me. It took me a MONTH to finally get an MRI. Alley at the front desk has zero clue what she is doing. They began to purposely not answer my calls. I have a big setback in my healing process because of this office. On top of it all, Dr. Dixon refused to give me MRI results over the phone while I was traveling for work and a wedding all while in serious pain. She gave me surface level results after I begged for some type of feedback or finding. I am in a walking boot and was also denied a handicap placard from her office. Instead I saw a new doctor and was given a temporary pass for 6 months and was handed the paperwork and placard within 24 hours with a full diagnosis of my foot and ankle. I regret ever stepping foot in Dr. Dixon's office and would strongly advise anyone to look elsewhere for compassionate and competent care. This doctor's lack of empathy and professionalism is unacceptable. Save yourself the trouble and find a provider who will actually listen and treat you with the respect you deserve. This entire office SUCKS!

She was abruptly dismissive when I mentioned pain medication, she cut me off mid sentence saying to "call my other doctor" for that. I was only was asking as I wanted info on topicals since I dont like to take pills! Maybe she thought I wanted opioids??? not sure why she reacted that way...kinda baffling? 3) CANT GET A CALL BACK WHEN LEAVING MULTIPLE MESSAGES: After leaving multiple messages neither she, nor her office called me back. It was ONLY after I dug up their email address and finally heard back via email. 4) WOULD NOT GIVE ME MRI RESULTS ON PHONE. I WAITED WEEKS TO BE TOLD I NEEDED AN APPT TO GET RESULTS. THAT IT WOULD BE ANOTHER $250. CANT MAKE IT IN PERSON DUE TO WORK TRAVEL, TELE VISIT...THEY WANTED THAT $250. NO MATTER WHAT. Any other doctor would have called me with results within 48 maybe 72 hrs at worst. Many doctors actually follow-up with a phone call checking in with the patient that is in pain..not this Doc! This doctor knew I was in pain, and intentionally didn't call me back...holding out for that $250. no matter what. No empathy or concern AT ALL!

I'd like to say, well, maybe she was having a bad day both times I interacted with her, but my sweet elderly mother mentioned that she also seemed to engage with her with reproach on her previous visits there with out me. Since I am a person of color, racism could have played a role but either way, I'd like to give the doctor 5 stars and his staff -5. I'd also like to refer others to him as he's been a terrific doctor for my elderly parents, but I can't because I will not subject people I care about to his staff.

It is my understanding that on a microbial level, athletes' foot and toenail fungus can never be completely cured. My feet will go for years without an itchy outbreak and then suddenly one day toenail fungus will have crept up on my big toe. So on May 18, 2026 I googled "podiatrist near me". Thus began my journey with Dr. Nejat Culver City Podiatrist Prescription Fraud as I walked across the street from my apartment to his office. Dr. Albert Nejat is Unprofessional Dr. Albert Nejat, DPM. FACFAS, Podiatry Institute of Southern California, located at 9808 Venice Blvd., Suite 600, Culver City, CA 90232 is a glib comedian who practices medicine below the standard of care required to be licensed in California. Nejat opined that my toenail fungus was caused by wearing shoes too small, thereby causing my toenail to be lifted up and allowing the fungus into the nail bed. Okay, so let's say, arguendo, that this is true. So then why didn't Dr. Nejat measure my shoe size? Instead of acting professional and measuring my foot size, he glibly stated that my big toe should be one thumb-width from the tip of my shoe. Huh? SkinRX Compounding Pharmacy Santa Monica Tavaborole 5% Topical Solution Prescription Fraud This quack went on to state that he would send in my prescription for Tavaborole 5% Topical Solution to SkinRX Compounding Pharmacy, 2222 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 103, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Dr. Nejat said that my insurance would not cover this medication and that SkinRX would apply coupons and discounts so that I only have to pay $60.00 because the medication is so expensive. My big mistake was not insisting that Nejat the Numbskull simply send my prescription next door to my regular pharmacy, Brotman Medical Pharmacy. to prevent me from getting ripped off by this medical grifter. SkinRX Compounding Pharmacy Santa Monica Tavaborole 5% Topical Solution Prescription Fraud My HealthSpring Insurance Covers Tavaborole 5% Topical Solution It turns out that my excellent prescription medication insurance does indeed pay for SkinRX Compounding Pharmacy Santa Monica Tavaborole 5% Topical Solution. Dr. Nejat probably got a kick-back from SkinRX Compounding Pharmacy. But thanks to Dr. Nejat, I trusted him and paid my $60.00 to SkinRX before I verified the facts with my insurance company. I should have exercised the caveat of let the buyer beware, but I trusted the man because he is supposed to be a doctor, not a con artist. I will not be attending my follow-up appointment with Dr. Albert Nejat, Grifting Podiatrist. Dear Dr. Nejat, for the foregoing reasons, I will not be attending my follow-up appointment with you on July 21, 2026. As I told you on my first visit, I only choose you because your office was right across the street from my domicile. Next time I need a physician I will do a little bit more research and probably just go to my preferred provider, Cedars-Sinai for world class medical providers. May 27, 2026

I've had two babies but that does not scare me as much as having bunion surgery. To be fair, I had…read more4 bunions worked on at the same time - left and right bunion on each foot. Most of us wouldn't even know you could have that many right? I'm an avid researcher and I spend an inordinate amount of time mulling over the details before purchasing anything so you can imagine how much effort I put into finding a surgeon who's going to operate on me. I went to get a consult with another surgeon at a swanky office in Santa Monica who writes for medical journals on orthopedic surgery so I wasn't going to any schmo. He recommended breaking my foot in three separate places including my ankle and allowing that to heal for 6 months, do physical therapy for a couple more and then repeat on my other foot. Needless to say, I was not a fan of the Frankenstein foot approach and going through a process that will take over a year to complete. Not a lot of surgeons will do both feet at the same time. There's a benefit to it as a patient because it's one operation and one recovery time vs two. Doctors don't like that because they prefer to do two surgeries and get paid for two. Dr. Kaye does have a nominal fee for doing both at the same time but in all honesty, I would have paid at least twice that for all the hassle he saved me. I'm a busy working mom and I don't have the time to sit around because my feet are out of commission. I swear you will have minimal pain if you keep your feet elevated and iced as instructed by Dr. Kaye. By day 2, I was off prescribed meds and taking just Motrin. By week 2 I was walking on both feet in a soft boot, no cast. That's pretty amazing for someone who just had bone surgery. Another amazing thing about Dr. Kaye's office is Kathy, his office manager. She was on top of all my appointment reminders and she dealt with my insurance company directly so I didn't have to. It was great! Ten months later, I'm easing into my high heels and my only regret is not doing a Yelp review sooner. Thank you Dr. Kaye and Kathy for all you've done!

My anxiety around my healthcare issue was elevated from not getting the expected treatment the first time around and breastfeeding my baby. I wanted to heal and avoid medication if possible. Dr. Kaye had a very simple and effective plan that has put me on the right path. He gave me self-care instructions and a care package of the items I needed saving me a trip to the pharmacy and allowing me to go right home to rest with my baby. Now that is service with a smile and some good humor too! Thanks for all that you do!

I retired from the Company in 2012 & moved to Scottsdale, AZ but have often considered commuting via air to regain his professional consult. Personally I have found most of the medical practices in Arizona to be "wanting". They have a tendency to compare your medical condition with whatever is going around versus actually examining you and discover what is actually wrong with you We have yet to find a medical practice in Arizona that we are remotely satisfied. In conclusion you can't go wrong with Dr. Sheikh as your PCP If we return to our home State we will automatically seek his medical practice as our first act of business.
