She also mentioned she needs to numb the toe with an Injection! She proceeded to apply some cold liquid - and Than within a second - STABBED my toe with a injection !!! my foot was lose on the table - It Felt like the NEEDLE went thru the toe - My foot hit her hand -. I asked for someone to hold my foot down - No APPOLOGY - No SYMPATHY - her assistant came in held my Toe and again - that injection was trusted into my toe in ONE ATTEMPT. No gentle penetration , slow adding numbing prior.none she cut into the toe sides. - applied ointment and a dressing - I needed it on the second toe . I knew Ill never submit myself to her again ! BAD JUDGMENT - i SHOULD HAVE WALKED OUT !. The second foot was the one with the mild problem . Oh well , that night after consuming 5000 mg of Tylenol - I had no relief - the pain was excruciating. Throbbing and Painful. The following days I soaked it several times a day in Epson salt and warm water - It was OOzing Pass - I called the office, gave the secretary to the massage - however NO RESPONSE _ NO FOLLOWUP PHONE CALL . The infection was still present. I had a follow up appointment after two weeks almost three. - to check the results. I needed to change the date due to a conflict of dates- and was offered another Provider Michelle Cummins - Yes she confirmed there is still pass , and still infected infectious present .She poked with an instrument lifted from the table ( i did not see disinfection bath) and she confirmed that the Dr, Tavaf left a corner of the nail in which is causing the pain and the infection. And she scheduled an appointment to take the remaining nail out. Assuring me that she would numb the toe in stages and in a very gentle process. For this FOLLOWUP procedure I was charged - $ 150 .- I called the office spoke ti the secretary explained that this was part of the first treatment and she said shell take it off and speak to the DR, Its been few weeks the bill is back in my email - I just paid it- I don't want to have to deal with a collection agency . IN CONCLUSION - INEFFICIENT FROM THE ANSWERING SERVICE - AND THIS IS AN OLD OFFICE - NONE OF THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE TABLES ARE IN A SEALED PACKAGE - INDICATING PROPER STERILIZATION. BEEN CHARGED TWICE - ONCE FOR THE PROCEDURE - AND THAN THE CHECKUP FOLLOW UP - ROBBERY. I DON'T THINK FOR ANY OF THEIR INSURED PATIENTS THEY GET PAID $ 400 . FOR A 2 INGROWN TOWS. - AND GIFTING THE PATIENT WITH AN INFECTION THAT LASTED FEW WEEKS - BE AWARE CHOSE AN PROVIDER THAT WILL EXPLAIN WELL AND BE GENTLE AND PROFESSIONAL. SKIP THIS PRACTICE

Outstanding care. Thoughtful. Trustworthy!…read more I have been coming here for over five years and have consistently had a great experience with Dr. Brooke Dix. She truly takes her time with each visit. She is not the type of doctor who rushes through an appointment in ten minutes just to move on to the next patient. She listens carefully, answers questions clearly, and makes sure you understand the plan before you leave. What also stands out is her range of expertise. She does not only treat foot issues. She has strong knowledge in areas like dermatology and shows real passion for figuring out other underlying medical concerns. She looks beyond the obvious and focuses on your overall health. Most importantly, the treatment works. My issues have improved and I feel confident in the care I receive. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and attentive doctor who actually spends time with you and thinks broadly about your health, I highly recommend Dr. Dix.

OMG. Dr Kim just scooped them out. One quick injection to numb it up and we had a nice chat while he did it. I was nervous but he made it easy and I had literally no pain.

I could not be more grateful for Dr. Dastgah and Gretchen and the rest of the group here for being…read morethe most amazing doctors and medical professionals I've worked with. I'm a really active person and unfortunately blew my achilles a week and half ago. I found Dr. Dastgah after a bad experience with Sutter where I was given the runaround and pretty much told to wait weeks before even getting an ultrasound. I'm so lucky I did. Gretchen was able to get me in right away and Dr. Dastgah immediately splinted me and both of them went out of their way to get me into an MRI ASAP. For anyone who doesn't know, there is a small window for a ruptured achilles where surgery is an option, which allows you to eventually return to full mobility and athletic movement. If I hadn't found Dr. Dastgah and Gretchen, I would've been waiting still for Sutter would've lost the option for surgery which means I might have a limp and never be able to do explosive movements again. It's not hyperbole to say that finding Dr. Dastgah saved my life. To lose mobility in my right foot would've meant a loss of identity and mental health that would be hard to fathom. I'm so so lucky we found really wonderful people who did everything in their power to help me. If you have any type of foot issue, Dr. Datsgah is your woman, she loves her job and will go out of her way to help you. And Gretchen as been sent from the heavens to help make the insurance and appointment piece as easy as it possibly can be. Thank you so much you all for being magical people in my life right now. Even though I'm devastated that I'm looking at a 1 year recovery now, I feel so much safer and better knowing I'm in good hands. Good drs make a world of difference not just from a physical perspective but also from a mental health perspective, and in our current health care system, its so hard to be a good dr, so please come here and get the best care and support the drs and health care professionals doing an amazing job.

No more warts, the nails are starting to look better and this is the longest I've gone without an ingrown toenail in 26 years. Truly life-changing. The entire staff is caring, considerate, and an absolute blast to talk to. If you have problems with your feet that you thought could never be fixed or that you just have to deal with for the rest of your life, pop in for a quick consultation. You might just find the relief that you never knew you could enjoy.

I saw Dr. Robinson as a new patient for what I believed to be a toenail that had developed a fungal…read moreinfection. During my visit, he noticed a spot underneath my second toenail. I explained to him that what I thought was a "mole" had been there for most of my life. I actually had it examined by my PCP in the past, and they told me to watch it, make sure I didn't notice any changes in size, shape, diameter, etc. Which I have not, so I was not concerned about it. Dr. Robinson suggested that he do a biopsy. Of course, I was concerned about the procedure and wanted to know more, but I also agreed to have it. As I asked questions, he continuously spoke over me, cut me off, and I felt it was rude. I still listened respectfully. He explained that doing the biopsy was very important and that I would not be in any pain. I told him that I would prefer to have it done on my days off, since my job required me to stand and walk for long periods of time. I did not want to risk having discomfort. He went on to say that this was more important than worrying about work and that I would be "foolish" not to have it done. He told me that he's been doing this for over four decades, and it felt just like a "pinch" in which he "pinched" my skin to show me how little pain I would feel as if I were a three-year-old pediatric patient. After realizing that I would not have the biopsy done right away, he asked, "When will you have two days off in a row next week"? I pulled out my phone to check my work schedule. He said, "Look at me while I am talking to you and give me two days next week". I responded, "If you allow me to check my work schedule for next week to see which dates I am off, then I will let you know". At this point, I realized that I did not want to receive treatment from this provider. He had no empathy or compassion. He invalidated my concerns and feelings. He did not allow me time to give him dates that worked for me. He basically pressured me into making an instant decision, and the decision had to be one that he was comfortable with, not me. To make matters worse, when I attempted to speak up for myself and ask questions regarding the process, recovery, etc, he told me to be quiet, or he would walk out of the room and not return until I was quiet. He stated, "I usually cuss at my patients when they don't listen, but I will not cuss at you". I responded, "That will be wise for you not to". I have been in the healthcare field for over eighteen years and have worked throughout the USA. I was flabbergasted by this physician's lack of professionalism. Needless to say, I will not be returning. I called the office and informed the clerk, Jai, who was really professional, of my experience during my visit, and that I would not return due to his lack of respect towards me and his attitude while providing care. As a medical provider, you have a code of conduct you should follow, which serves as a framework for professional behavior, ensuring that you prioritize the health and well-being of your patients. Forcing your "new" patient to make a decision instantly, using fear tactics to do so, speaking to them in a condescending tone and manner, disregarding their concern for pain based on their pain threshold and possible physical/work limitations, and threatening to abandon care and use profanity when you can't "make" them do what you want based on your time frame, not there's is unacceptable behavior and it crosses the line. I am grateful that I have emotional intelligence and was raised as a Christian by parents who taught me to treat all people equally and with love and respect. This man needs to retire. He does not deserve the title, "doctor". I do not recommend him to anyone. ***I will also like to add....for those of us who have experienced unfavorable treatment or prejudice based on race, gender, age, and/or disability, or have just been disrespected..do not allow that person's poor behavior to deter you from seeking proper medical treatment elsewhere. I do plan to follow-up with a different provider and specialist.

Front staff were amazing…read more We were in a bind after Gavin's pediatrician's office made an error with his appt. I took off early for work, I pulled Gavin early from school so going another day wasn't an option. I called the nearest sports-related (foot) doctor's office and found this place on Yelp. The lady that answered the phone was accommodating, welcome, friendly.. and I appreciate her effort in squeezing us in w/o an appt, a new patient at that too. The assistants that assessed Gavin initially to getting his x-rays done, and of course Dr. Pham. He received great care and I was happy that they were able to pinpoint his injury and provide him with a tool to help him heal. The boot was the better option for crutches in my eyes.

The appointment and the X-Ray process were so smooth. The Los Gatos staff were extremely nice and friendly. They have X-Ray and ultrasonic equipment on-site, which is a great convenience. I was tolerating a severe pain and swollen ankle the entire night, with overthinking such as "Would my bone be fractured? Would I never go back to gym?""Would I need to lay on a bed for 1-3 months?" After X-Ray and ultrasonic, as well as Dr.Chen performed pressure check on different points, he thoroughly explained and educated me about the situation: it is an organic sprain. All bones, joints and ligament are perfectly fine. Dr.Chen showed me and suggested me to record how to use KT tape. No prescriptions, no more exams, but good suggestions on which exercises would help the recovery as well as certain shoes to wear during the period. Thank you so much for having me in such a professional, accessible and friendly place!

Had both R and L Achilles tendon surgeries for tendinosis around 15 yrs ago; then this past Fall…read moregot a partial rupture of my R Achilles. Was totally crippled, could barely hobble to the bathroom, and my Kaiser podiatrist didn't clarify that I had a partial rupture, much less that it probably was due to taking prednisone for another condition (i.e., didn't warn me to assiduously avoid steroids); and the only options he provided were "watch and wait" or a complex procedure that would take a year to recover from. When I then switched from Kaiser "Senior Advantage" to traditional Medicare with AARP secondary I asked him who I should see in community and the PAMF podiatrist he recommended referred me to Dr. Meagan Jennings for a TENEX procedure with PRP (platelet rich plasma) in which she is specially trained. The surgery went great and I was able to walk pretty normally by about 3 months post-op with the help of wonderful physical therapy from Break-Through; I'm now 5 months post-op and still improving! I can't help but wonder why Kaiser didn't recommend this procedure, for which I was a "perfect candidate" -- maybe none of their podiatrists are trained in it and they're too frugal to refer patients out for it, who knows. I'll also mention that Dr. Jennings and her staff are all helpful, kind, friendly, and professional. My highest recommendation!
