I don't usually write reviews, but this one is long overdue. Dr. Randall has truly transformed my…read morequality of life, and I feel it's important to share my experience. My journey with Dr. Randall began about five years ago, though I'll spare you all the details. I've always been an active person--playing sports growing up and continuing with workout classes, hiking, and other physical activities as an adult. However, in my thirties, I began experiencing severe pain in my left ankle, which greatly impacted my ability to enjoy the activities I love. On a basic level, Dr. Randall is incredibly smart, kind, patient, and attentive. She never rushes through appointments and genuinely takes the time to listen. But what truly sets her apart is her unparalleled expertise in foot and ankle health, her commitment to staying on top of the latest medical advancements, and, perhaps most importantly, her genuine passion for her work. From the beginning, Dr. Randall was upfront about my condition and explained that a subtalar joint fusion would likely be the best solution. I was hesitant to move forward with this procedure and opted to try steroid injections first. While these provided temporary relief for a few weeks at a time, the pain inevitably returned. I've never discussed this with Dr. Randall but I even went on my own "LA tour" to meet with all the other "top ranking" foot and ankle surgeons to get their opinion - including UCLA, USC, and Dr's in Beverly Hills. Some dismissed the idea of a fusion altogether without offering any viable alternatives beyond enduring the pain. Most, however, echoed Dr. Randall's recommendation. But unlike Dr. Randall, they made me feel like just another number in their busy schedules. In April 2024, I made the decision to move forward with Dr. Randall's recommendation and undergo the fusion procedure. By that point, the pain had become unbearable--I was limping constantly and relying on 8-10 Advil every morning just to get through the day. While I was nervous, the relentless pain left me with little choice but to take the leap. Looking back, it was the best decision I've ever made. Technically, my range of motion is slightly reduced, but the trade-off has been life-changing. I'm completely pain-free and back to doing the activities I love. I not only feel better physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Thanks, doc!

I came to see Dr. Kase for a FOURTH opinion on an potential foot surgery, for a condition that has…read morebeen developing over the last ten years. One podiatrist said he could do the surgery, and I could walk out that same day. Another backed off, saying it was major surgery, which though he could do, had some risks, and that I should just continue with insoles. The last one said, yes, it was a risky surgery, but he could do it -- all from six feet across the room, and looking at my foot and x-rays. Dr. Kase gave me the most thorough examination I have ever had, manipulating both feet (after x-rays) and citing his observations to an assistant, who input all the data into my file. He asked me about my level of pain, and checked both feet for neuropathy, and then observed me walk to and from him. Then we looked at the x-rays and he showed me where the major issues were, and how they would complicate recovering from the surgery in question. His final opinion was the procedure was not worth the risk, considering I was not in much pain. As we talked, he made sure I understood everything, and answered all my questions thoroughly. Together we came up with a plan. I cannot tell you how much better I felt, knowing exactly what was going on in my body, and all options. I was delighted, when I checked into my "patient portal" to see all the information he provided, there in print, for me to refer to anytime I feel the need. I highly recommend Dr. Kase to anyone, with foot issues, and considering surgery, which he is clearly capable of doing, but will only do if absolutely needed. That's the kind of podiatrist we need more of.

My 87-year-old mother was experiencing severe sciatica pain for about a month. We saw that Dr. John…read moreVillanueva specialized in spine and pain management. After a quick exam on my mother, he determined she had piriformis syndrome and a stenosis condition, and he scheduled her for an injection that he was to perform. After the procedure, my mother's pain got much worse. He had prescribed pain killers, but they weren't helping. We called his office to see if she could take a higher dose, but after a couple of business days, Dr. Villanueva did not get back to us. We called a third time and were told she could take a higher dose. We asked for a follow-up appointment, since she was in even more pain than before the epidural shot he administered. Then the day before her scheduled follow-up, the office called to say they had to reschedule it to the following week. We got very angry that my mother clearly wasn't doing well and that we couldn't get his attention for a follow up. They then took us as a "walk in," and after several hours of waiting, the doctor finally got to examine my mother. During this visit, Dr. Villanueva prescribed a lumbar MRI. The MRI revealed severe stenosis pressing directly on the sciatic nerve. At that point it was clear that only spinal surgery could solve this issue. We proceeded to find a qualified surgeon, and my mother's condition improved dramatically about 3 weeks after the operation. I question Dr. Villanueva's ethics. He was quick to determine that my mother had piriformis syndrome, which was not the case. He should have initially referred her for a lumbar MRI to even see what the problem was. A principled doctor would have determined from the MRI that her stenosis condition was severe and not something a simple epidural could fix. Instead, Dr. John Villanueva took the insurance money to do his thing. We wasted a lot of time and went through a lot of aggravation instead of getting a competent diagnosis from the start. He was slow to respond and did not show empathy for my mother's extreme pain level.

When the doctor came in, he was so pompous that he didn't even examine me - once I told him I didn't appreciate having to wait an hour. Now I am back again and have been waiting 30 minutes. They say they are "running behind" again. It's interesting to notice that they have a sign in the waiting room that they can reschedule u if u r more than 15 minutes late. I guess that rule only applies one way. Very frustrating place to deal with. I wish I could find another office but this is a worker's comp case so I am stuck.

What type of business, especially in the medical field does not answer their phones. I had to drive 30 miles just to schedule an appointment. When I arrived there were three receptionists at the front desk. The office was completely empty. I was the only patient in the waiting room. Not one of the 3 absolutely Rude employees acknowledged or greeted me. I first approached a woman who referred me to the male receptionist for Dr. Majzel. He was expectedly as rude. I explained that I walked into the office to schedule my appointment because the phones go unanswered. I was completely ignored. His response prompted me to immediately find another doctor. All 3 receptionists can immediately be replaced with kiosks to set patient appointments and a service that answers calls and sets appointments. Because of the unprofessional manner of the front office staff I would Never recommend this office to Anyone!

One of my nails is curling on the sides and threatening to grow into my toe so I wanted an expert opinion about it and to have it trimmed properly. I went to Dr. Aguirre who has a very nice receptionist and not a long wait to see him. I told him of my concern and he didn't offer any advice, just trimmed my nails and come back in a couple of months when Medicare will "foot" the bill again. it wasn't a very good nail trim and I ended up evening things out when I got home and thinking I could have gone to my nail salon for a better experience. When my insurance sent me their explanation of benefits, I realized what a mistake it is going to a podiatrist when you only need to get your nails trimmed. For his sloppy pedicure, Dr. Aguirre charged $ 210.00 Medicare discount it by $52.68 and paid $122.88; Anthem Blue Cross paid $27.56 ; and I'm still expected to pay $6.88 . My pedicurist charges about $25. I don't believe in ripping off Medicare. Medicare should contract with pedicurists.
