Amazing Podiatrist unfortunately he retired. He sold his practice. Wish him the best on his retirement.

Dr. Bank has helped my children with a variety of foot-related ailments, and we've had consistently excellent experiences. He always takes a great deal of time carefully diagnosing and treating each issue, and he explains everything clearly. We never feel rushed during appointments, which is so reassuring as a parent. Dr. Bank is patient, thorough, and truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend him. read more

My experience could be summed up by the saying "To a hammer, everything looks like a nail". I was having some heel pain and it was in the same leg that I had months earlier experienced calf issues. Before I could even describe my symptoms, he took one look at my shoes and said, "Yuck." That pretty much set the tone for the entire appointment. Despite explaining my symptoms in detail--and even noting how these shoes had previously helped resolve my IT band issues--he remained completely fixated on the shoes. No diagnosis. No explanation of how my shoes could be causing the problem. No explanation of mechanism or if it was connected to calf issues. No discussion of alternative causes or treatments. Just a repeated insistence that I get new shoes. He told me to come back in a week, presumably not to follow up on my symptoms, but to inspect whether I'd swapped out my footwear. Maybe he was right. But he was an awful communicator and gave me no reason to trust his judgment. For what it's worth, I didn't change my shoes--and the pain resolved on its own within a couple weeks. read more

If I could rate Dr. Bank 10 stars, I would! I had suffered with foot pain for over 4 months and had seen 2 other foot and ankle specialists. I went to Dr. Bank and within a month I am finally pain free. Dr. Bank has years of experience and really listens to his patients. He is very caring, and I appreciated him texting and checking in with me. He finds the least invasive way to help his patients and for me what he has done has been a success. I am so thankful for his expertise, his kind ways, and also for his office manager, Jenny :) Everything about this office has been a positive experience and I know if I ever need help again, Dr. Bank is the first person I will call. read more

Doctor Banks will now be my go to foot doctor and podiatrist from here on out! I had an ingrown toe nail and Dr Banks made the procedure in removing it very comfortable! He was very thorough and took his time with the procedure. The front desk staff is very friendly! read more

I highly recommend Dr Bank for anyone in the greater L.A. area. Getting orthotics from him helped to take care of my back pain. And more importantly, he prevented my girlfriend from having an unneeded surgery. After seeing doctors a few times, nothing was working for her and she was scheduled for surgery. Dr Bank came in and saved the day with a non-surgical treatment regimen. After having foot pain for several years, she has now been pain free for about 6 months. Thank you! read more

I was in for a plantar wart treatment removal and I opted for the injection Got to tell you nothing done on your foot that has to do with injections or procedures can be comfortable But that's not doctors problem On his end he was able to treat and removed wart Takes about two weeks at least in my case But treatment was successful And as for Dr Dan He is Great and really knows what he is doing Very happy with results read more

Dr. Dan Bank is an excellent podiatrist/surgeon. I saw Dr. Bank years ago for a hammertoe repair and had excellent results. I have seen Dr. Bank recently for foot and knee pain. He suggested custom orthotics. I'm so glad I went with his recommendation. My foot pain and knee pain have greatly improved with the use, and wearing of, my orthotics. Dr. Bank has a wonderful, kind demeanor and he is very knowledgeable and caring. His staff is kind and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Dan Bank. read more

Unbelievable customer service at their office. Won't even see or hear my situation. Diagnosing over the phone. Pushing an old patient away. Very unfortunate WOW! I hope Dr Bank sees this note as his staff is simply unbelievably incompetent. Thanks read more

I went to Dr. Bank, after seeing the "best " foot Dr. in Los Angeles. Dr. Bank was much better! I was very uncomfortable and he did a toe surgery that was much left painful and much better recovery. His fellow is awesome, and his front desk human Jenny is wonderful. Overall Dr. Bank is a knowledgeable, kind and always concerned with my overall well being. I am a very happy patient and recommend him to all my friends. Thank you Dr. Bank, Jenny and Emily. read more

I was very pleased. Appointment scheduling great. The reason for a 4 not 5 is who ever does his billing? No problem correcting billing just wondering why. Both situations he helped me in I was in pain and received a very quick appointment. Very friendly. read more

Dr. Bank is an exceptional and brilliant doctor. I went to Dr. Bank searching for a diagnosis. He was tenacious and unrelenting as he researched and found the medical information to diagnose my condition that other doctors had not. He took a sincere interest in my suffering and never gave up. He is the epitome of a brilliant and dedicated doctor that will not relent until his patients are completely cared for and relieved. Dr. Bank is the epitome of a true doctor. read more

I go based on reviews, and Dr. Banks had amazing reviews. He was a great doctor and immediately signed up for orthopedic casting. I received a conformation text, at that point I said I needed to reschedule. I received a rude message saying "I missed my appointment " . Long story short the woman on the phone couldn't have been any ruder, so now I have to find a new doctor. Being in customer service for 20 plus years, my advice to the doctor is hire friendly people read more

Dr. Bank is an excellent doctor that has the rare combination of being an amazing physician and a good listener. He has come up with solutions for things that other doctors couldn't get to the bottom of, treating the root of the problem in addition to the symptoms. He has a calm and kind manner, and goes out of his way to help and heal. He has treated many members of my family, from children to adults, and he is appreciated by all! He is very knowledgable in his field and provides the best of care. read more

I did not have a good experience. And the staff seemed to less courteous. Dr. Bank wanted to fit me right away with a $600 custom ortho insoles for my plantar problem. This to me seemed excessive and commercial. I fixed my own problem doing little research and under $50. And the pain has gone away in few days Products I use: For day use: https://www.amazon.com/4GEAR-Plantar-Fasciitis-Relief-Recovery/dp/B074Y9LZXQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1538583048&sr=8-5&keywords=plantar+fasciitis For nights (* very effective) https://www.amazon.com/Plantar-Fasciitis-Posterior-Splint-Colors/dp/B00PX5HM9O/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1538583048&sr=8-7&keywords=plantar+fasciitis The point is, as an experienced doctor one should be conservative and take the procedures incrementally and not cause a big monetary burden on the patients... I hope this helps you guys... read more

The best podiatrist there is in Orange County! We love Dr. Bank!!

Dr. Bank is fabulous!!! He has treated several issues for me. Most recent was the removal of a very painful bone spur from the top of my foot. He did an amazing job! I'm no longer in pain, and the scarring is very minimal. He has a great foot/bedside manner, and I highly recommend him. read more

So I was at Kerlin and jobe for the start of my treatment for plantar fasciitis. After 4 months with them and no healing I switched to Dr. Bank. Dr. Bank said, "I'll fix your foot." I immediately swotched and after 2 months with him I am pain free. Recommended by my neighbors and I also highly recommend him, if you want to be pain free. Thank you Dr. Bank and staff. read more

I have been looking for the right podiatrist to take care of my ugly feet. I chose Dr Banks because of the great reviews I read. On my appointment date, the office was very busy. I was taken to the room and there I waited for almost an hour. I knew he was falling behind and so I patiently waited my turn. When Dr Banks finally saw me, we addressed my foot concerns. During the time I explained my issues, he kept looking at his watch. My consult took no more than 10 minutes. I left feeling angry, but most of all disappointed. I gave him the respect by waiting without any complaints. But when it was my turn, he didn't give the time of day. He showed me that I wasn't his only patient, and that he was anxious to move on to the next one. He made me feel unimportant. And when a doctor makes you feel that way, it's time to move on to another. There are many DPMs out there. read more

I left a message about Dr. Bank a few years ago and, unfortunately, I do not see it here on YELP. I initially saw Dr. Bank in 2014 when I had a severe tib/fib sprain. I went to three other doctors who pretty much brushed me off. With no relief for the pain, the major swelling & bruising and inability to walk, I went to Dr. Bank because he was in my network. I told him of my past appointments with other doctors and he ordered an MRI. He was the first doctor to actually listen to what I was going through. Long story short, my situation could have led to a surgery but Dr. Bank would not do it unless it was a last resort. I have to say I appreciate the fact that he did not want to do surgery if he could avoid it, which he did. I very recently saw Dr. Bank after enduring an ingrown toenail for about 8 months. I made my appointment on July 3 (right before my vacation) to have it looked at. I was dreading the procedure as much as I would having a root canal because I have heard so many horror stories about getting this removed. Dr. Bank made this procedure so easy!! The procedure was not as bad as I thought it would be. The first 24-hours was obviously uncomfortable but not unbearable. I was able to walk out of his office, run errands, and wear closed-toed shoes in a 48-hour period so I was very surprised of the quick recovery. I am now four days out from the procedure and am following his instructions for aftercare and I cannot be happier. I should have done this months ago. I would highly recommend Dr. Bank for any type of podiatry issues that anyone may have. I am a klutz deluxe so have been to several podiatrists in my lifetime. Dr. Bank is by far the best I've ever encountered. He really, cares about his patients and I cannot even fathom seeing anyone else to care for my feet. read more

I saw Dr. Banks about a year ago... ...I complained about heal and Ankle pain...... I was diagnosed with PF from my GP and my own self-diagnosis and Dr. Banks confirmed I had PF.... After doing everything by the book, nothing fixed my PF and my only alternative was surgery. I kept complaining about ankle pain and was brushed off even after stating I think it all started with a twisted Ankle. My PF pain was getting better but it never went away... I knew I had another issue but Dr. Banks only alternative was PF surgery which to me was still iffy... There is no grantee it would fix my foot issues so I went for a 2nd opinion... At that point, I was not convinced any surgery would fix me completely so I continued to deal with the pain............ I went for 3rd and 4th opinion and it was the last doctor who actually listened. He touched my ankle in a few places, I jumped and he sent me out for a 3.0 MRI....Well low and behold that MRI discovered why I have ankle pain! On top of that, the whole time I was being treated, I was doing stretches and going to therapy and wonder how much worse my ankle is due to all the extra things I was told to do to help my PF... Anyway, I am not a fan of Doctors who do not listen to their patients and at this time, thinking what my next move will be... I clearly was not 100% diagnosed by Dr. Banks and if I had been diagnosed correctly, I may not have as much damage as I have today. read more

Daniel Bank, DPM - My 2nd MRI - Podiatrists Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Dr. Bank literally saved my ability to walk. I'm in my 40's and have suffered from plantar fasciitis for over two years. I was at the point where I could no longer even walk around the block. I had tried pain medicine, a night splint, orthotics x 2 from another podiatrist, injections, taping, icing, THC ointment, stretching, and massage. It wasn't until Dr. Bank made me superior orthotics and gave me super-effective (yes, painful but worth it!) injections that I was able to walk without pain again. I am so grateful that I was able to be treated by Dr. Bank. Besides his expertise, he is a kind and caring person, which makes the whole experience more tolerable. His staff is patient and caring as well. I would recommend Dr. Bank to anyone and everyone! read more

So bad customer service. The nurses are so mean . All offices is not professional. They trying to get all your money. read more

Dr Bank performed a bunionectomy, along with four other corrections, all on the same foot in just one surgery. The procedure was in early January and I was running again by mid March. Dr Bank also made me custom orthotics that work like a charm. No doubt, he has helped me tremendously and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a podiatrist. read more

Dr. Daniel Bank is an outstanding doctor. I had problems with my foot for several years and visited two other doctors who were not responsive or caring and over looked the real problem with my foot. Dr. Bank was able to find the solution and was upfront and detailed with the level of care and plan to get me walking again with no pain. He has great patience, knowledge and outstanding bedside manner. He took great care of me and corrected another doctor's mistake. I can not thank him and his office assistant Jenny for all their help during my foot problems and surgery. My foot feels so much better and I can now walk again with no discomfort thanks to Dr. Bank! If you are in need of a good Podiatrist please visit Dr. Bank. You will be happy you did and so will your feet. read more

This is a long over due review. Dr. Bank has been our family podiatrist for over 15 years. He has helped my husband with all of his foot aches and pains with plantar fasciitis. Dr Bank made him some amazing custom orthotics that he can't go a day without. Which makes a huge difference in my husbands life due to him working two jobs.He once's removed a foreign body from his shin in his office , it was biopsied and it thankfully was benign. He also took care of two ingrown toe nails. The procedure was quick, easy and painless. Dr. Bank has such a great way of listening to our concerns and he explains things in a manner that we understand so that we are all on the same page. He treated me for plantar fasciitis, he gave me a cortisone injection. And fitted me for custom orthotics. A week later my foot was about 70% pain free only from injection. Once I got my custom orthotics I was 100% pain free and back at the gym. Dr. Bank then treated my six year old son recently. He got bit by a spider on three different occasions. And he helped drain the water pockets that formed from my sons allergic reaction. He was funny and friendly. And my son got very comfortable with him. Which is always a plus. Overall Dr. Bank and his staff are always very friendly. They try they're best to always accommodate us. I love that they are a bilingual office. The atmosphere is always nice and relaxed. Our wait time has always been fast. And even if we had to wait to see the Dr. it definitely is worth the wait time to see him. I will continue to go to Dr. Bank and always refer our friends and family to the best, smartest and knowledgeable podiatrist in all of Orange County! read more

Misdiagnosed me in May 2018 and just found out in the past month that I have a fracture in my foot that he completely missed. Treated me like a inferior patient and commented on me not being "well-off." Condescending and worst of all kept me from being taken care by a doctor that gave me legitimate answers to my legitimate pain. read more

Came in because I had a blister that would not go away. Dr. Banks diagnosed it as a type of cyst. He removed it and my foot healed great. Dr. Banks and his staff were very friendly and professional. They informed me of every step of the surgery. read more

My first time to go to a podiatrist. The search was stressful bec you'll see mixed reviews. Consulted w my insurance and I came up with a short list. Finally chose Dr.Bank. Talked to someone in his office to set initial appointment, basic stuff. On the day, Dr Bank gave me a no BS analysis of probable causes and fix hoping it will be a simple one so that's going to be the first approach and I was ok with it because all was explained well. On day of procedure, problem was handled and I was on the expected 2 weeks healing. He simply fixed the problem and he didn't take advantage of my issue so money wise, it was well spent. Needing a specialist is not regular but he's my podiatrist from here on and I speak highly of him and his excellent staff. read more

Having my dad recommend him was the best Christmas gift I could get. I have been dealing with extremely bad plantars and the last steroid shot I got from a diff. doctor traumatized me. Dr. Bank was gentle, and is truly an expert in feet. The shot he gave me was not the painful experience I was expecting and I got custom inserts from him. I'm only on day one of the inserts but I'm looking forward to getting back to what I enjoy. His office is top notch quality, and now I can say I recommend this place too. read more

After walking thousands of miles as a Letter Carrier for over 32 years with the US Postal Service my feet had multiple issues. Aching joints and heals and the occasional bout of Plantar fasciitis. After getting fitted with a custom orthotic my feet feel great. I've used the store bought insoles but had marginal results. I'm walking a lot less in retirement but enjoying much more now. I should have gotten the custom fit years ago! Thanks Dr. Bank! read more

Dr. Bank is a great doctor! I had bunion surgery couple months ago and I'm glad I went to him. I had originally went gone to a different doctor but went to Dr. Bank for a second opinion. I decide to go with Dr. Bank because he more experience with surgery and took his time answering all my questions. I felt comfortable going into surgery with Dr. Bank versus the first doctor. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Dr. Bank is the foot whisperer! Mona is great too. He helped my foot pain like no other doctor has. Highly recommended.

This is an update because I cannot express enough my gratitude for Dr. Banks. He is one of the best podiatrists I have ever been to. Unfortunately, I had obtained a new job and I was no longer covered by Dr. Banks forcing me to see another podiatrist. I ended up having foot surgery which has resulted in complications. The podiatrist who did my surgery wasnt sure what was going on, and pretty much said let's just wait and hope you get better. I ended up seeing another in network podiatrist who basically gave me the same advice. In tremendous pain and feeling hopeless I decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Banks. I am having to pay out of pocket until my new insurance plan kicks in, but seeing Dr Banks was the best decision I could have made. Dr. Banks throughly listened to me, examined my foot, and came up with a comprehensive treatment plan that I hope will fix my complications. After weeks of crying, I now have hope of walking normally without pain again. I feel truly grateful to Dr. Banks. He is such a dedicated, knowledgable, kind doctor who truly cares about his patients. I am confident that my foot could not be in better hands. read more
