Updating my review due to extreme disappointment! I had my ingrown removed and a few weeks after went to get the root of my nail burnt. Tell me why months later my nail has fungus, is black, and nail looks deformed? I am beyond upset because my nail was healthy (as you can see on the pictures I previously posted) and after getting the root burnt I have this problem. I now have to take oral medicine to cure what Dr. Wong caused!!! My review is to alert you of my HORRIBLE experience!! I regret coming here for this procedure!! read more

Doctor I was assigned to at this medical facility Refused to provide me service for not being willing to sign an "Assignment of Benefits" that states "I hereby assign to provider all my claims against any other party whose negligence or other conduct may have caused my injuries, illness or health care costs" and "I hereby irrevocably appoint the provider as my true and LAWFUL ATTORNEY and agent, and with full power of substitution for me, and in my name, to ask, demand, sue for, collect, endorse, sign and receive insurance or other benefits or claim pertaining to the treatment rendered to me by Provider, or to SIGN MY NAME to such other DOCUMENTATION as may be useful in enforcing the rights granted hereunder. I'm all for helping make certain a doctor is paid and I am fine with arbitration agreements, but I'm not going to give any doctor or entity power of attorney, or the ability to act as an attorney on my behalf or my rights to claims against other parties involved in my obtaining any injuries. Additionally, this medical facility needs improvements in its overall facility and decor. read more

I don't see how this place has more more than one star. They deserve 5 NEGATIVE stars for their service and dirty office. When you make an appointment plan on waiting an hour and a half beyond your scheduled time and another 45 in the room... that is if you're lucky to get a room and your not ushered to the back corral where you might,/might not get a spot with an exam chair instead of a folding chair out in the open where everyone sees and hears your business. Even if you get an exam chair everyone can still hear your business because it's open with just folding curtains to separate each patient. Dont believe me, come into the building from the back door as if you have an appoint and you can tour the corral that's just to the left of the entrance. I was SHOCKED and disgusted to see the doctor put the nail clippers in her pocket after working on my mom. read more

Dr. Halperin used to always take care of me and listened to all my concerns. Although the wait time was usually a couple hours, it was well worth it. He never made me feel just like a patient like some other doctors do. read more

After being treated here by Dr. Wong and being satisfied by her treatment, I must admit that recently, the front desk area needs to be revamped with regards on how they treat their patients/customers. As of Monday, 8.24.2020, my visit with Dr. Wong was going great open till I went back to the front area to pay. There was a slight discrepancy which I asked a few questions about. The person I spoke to, named Karen, kept insisting something that I had previously not been explained about and offered to get more information for me, which I gladly excepted. However at this point, when she couldn't find the information or people to help me, she began to guilt me about the line forming behind me. To remedy her situation, she printed out my insurance details and told me that I needed to contact my insurance. Which I then did the same day and then again today, and the information provided to me seemed to make a lot more sense than how Karen had been trying to explain it. My insurance also called a person at the practice and the person seemed to corroborate the information being explained to me. When I called the practice back to confirm a couple more details and to maybe get some final answers on some of the questions I had, I spoke to two other individuals, one named Erica and one whose name wasn't provided to me but both these individuals were incredibly helpful and patient with me. The third person that picked up the phone while I was on the call was once again, Karen. Almost immediately, she began to speak over me simply repeating that she had already giving me my information via a printout and that I needed to speak to my insurance to which I notified her that I had already and that my insurance spoke to somebody at her practice, but because I was on hold I wasn't aware of who they spoke to but all the information that was relayed about the practice was correct with regards to my insurance, Karen offered to let me speak to her supervisor which I of course excepted but was then told that the supervisor wasn't there anymore. She kept insisting that the information she gave me on Monday was the correct information but again, my insurance and the person my insurance spoke to said otherwise. Her voice began getting a bit more louder and condescending and I informed her that all I needed to do was simply ask my questions so that she could understand my position, since she wasn't acknowledging or addressing them anymore. I informed her I didn't need my policy explain to me contrary to what she insisted on doing. She kept speaking over me, repeating herself as if that was going to help the situation and at one point began saying that I was getting upset which was not true at all. I tried my best at this point to explain that I wasn't upset, I had been a customer there for just about four years and that I liked it there and that all I had were some questions and if I could speak to her supervisor like she had offered but as she kept speaking over me, she hung up on me. I have to admit, I find this type of treatment incredibly horrible especially for a practice that has such great caretakers in the back with the doctors and all the technicians assisting the doctors. I am a blind, disabled individual and frankly cannot think of any other time this has happened to me before. All I had were questions about what I perceived as a discrepancy and because of the treatment I received from Karen, and even though I enjoy the care that Dr. Wong provides, I cannot recommend anybody come to this location since this is the type of treatment I received just because I asked a few simple questions. During my phone call with Karen today, she also mentioned to me that if I wasn't satisfied with my insurance that I should go look for somebody else. I reminded her at this point again that I am blind and disabled and that there is a current pandemic to which she replied " well, that's all I can say to you" I was amazed that this was the type of language being used just for raising concerns I had. I reminded her at this point again that I am blind and disabled and that we are currently in a pandemic and was just trying to find information to my questions that she didn't have answers to. I understand that the practice, as a whole, is undergoing changes as doctor Halperin has retired from the practice but I would hope that some of these changes include better training of any personality types like Karen, where they actually try to help a customer with any and all concerns and not just scold, speak over them and then ultimately hang up on them for having questions. read more

I want to start off by saying how much I love Dr. Halperin and his staff. Dr Halperin began treating me because of my crooked toe. He fixed it and straightened it out. He is extremely professional and compassionate about his work. He also takes great concerns to make sure your not in any pain if he is performing a procedure. He removed a pin that was inside my foot. I was petrified prior to coming. De Halperin made sure I did not feel any pain while he performed the procedure. I did not feel a thing! I love his staff Liz, Genelle and Andy. They are professional, kind and friendly. They always greet me by name and make my time at doctors visits pleasant. The doctor and staff make you feel like your part of their family. It is rare that I find traits like this in a doctors office. If you visit Dr. Halperin he will give you his complete attention and make sure you know all your options about your medical problem. He is an outstanding podiatrist and would recommend him. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Halperin's for over 2 years. I can say he is open minded very passionate, caring for his patients knows his stuff. When you see Dr Halperin he'll greet you with a smile, very friendly. I will not see any other Doctor for my injury. I've been to other offices that don't compare to his service and he'll do whatever it takes to make you comfortable. He's awesome. When I had my surgery he made sure I was comfortable as I could be. Thanks Doc to me your the best. And YES I would recommend him and his office to anybody. read more

This is my second time coming here and both visits I have had a great service. If you suffer from I grow nails Dr.Stacey Valdez is your go to. Prices are reasonable and affordable read more

This place is a DUMP, I can't believe it's a medical facility... it looks dirty & old and in bad need of some paint & carpeting in the lobby.. I had to leave for fear of catching something here.. they need to be inspected by the health department... read more

PATIENT BEWARE. Dr. Halperin isn't fit to take care of a dog much less a human. He is the WORST podiatrist EVER. He treats patients on an ongoing basis unnecessarily just for the money. He does completely unnecessary surgery for the same reason of course. Sadly the majority of his patients are Spanish speaking and often don't understand. My father nearly died at his hands because A. the surgery was unnecessary and B. Halperin is NOT A SKILLED SURGEON and C. after the surgery he just left my father in the hospital without having the staff to get my father up out of bed. instead he laid in that bed for days totally immobile consequently he developed pulmonary embolism and nearly died. I am aware of at least 3 other patients who had similar nightmare issues. HALPERIN IS JUST ABOUT YOUR INSURANCE. People please trust what I am saying and seek a REAL REPUTABLE, SKILLED PODIATRIST. If not you may deeply regret it. read more

Dr. Halperin and his staff are caring and friendly, and very knowledgeable. He always makes sure to explain things thoroughly and makes sure to take the time to check everything and reassure me when I am concerned. He does not just jump into immediate surgery if that is not a good option. I am very grateful for having him as my Doctor. He is truly the best I have ever had! read more

Dr.Haperin, Is the best podiatrist. I have ever seen. Highly recommend Got a cortisone injection felt nothing. The best experience ever. read more

Haven't seen Halperin but Dr. Wong is a great podiatrist: expert, good people skills, uniformly positive attitude. Waiting times wax and wane depending on day, time and season--which is to say that they're normal for a busy medical practice. Waiting room could use a remodel, but if that's a deal breaker for you, great! That means more seats for us! read more

Overcrowded office. Not wheelchair friendly. Staff are unprofessional (not the doctors). Everytime I take my dad we wait for at least an hour to be seen, even with an appointment. They always ask him the same questions about his health history and medications he's taking. They don't keep track of anything. You have to remind them what they told you the last time you were there. I don't recommend it. read more

I have visited this place five times now. On each visit, I wait for about an hour beyond my appointment time, even if I arrive 15-30 minutes early. This last time I went, the ladies at the front desk gave my appointment to someone else with my same first name because they don't check last names apparently. The waiting room is small, overcrowded, dirty, and uncomfortable. The only good thing about this place is Dr. Carolyn Wong. She is pleasant, knowledgeable, and helpful. If not for her treatment, I would have found a different podiatry office after the first appointment. *Also, if any of the podiatrists at this office refer you for physical therapy at "Tomas E. Abraham" on Soto Street, do not go! That place does not provide quality therapy. The physical therapy massages are short, light, and ineffective, and the exercise routines are not tailored to your body's needs. read more

The doctors here are great but the staff, especially the front desk are a completely incompetent and unproffesional. Not to mention this office is filthy. Stay away from here. read more

Great clinic. Dr. Halperin is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work and is a great teacher. He is kind and compassionate. I feel reassured about my heal pain and I now have a plan to ensure it recovers. Helpful and efficient staff. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find a reasonably priced very approachable podiatrist ( thats fancy talk for the one that fixes all that hurts around the foot) close to home, not only was I diagnosed but I was x-rayed and cast :) all in the same place beats the ER! Dr. Halperin was informative (i have :( where i tore some ligaments )and even managed to ease my mum read more

I love this doctor!!! His schedule gets booked quick and there is a reason why! He is truly a great doctor. There is a wait when you see him but trust me, he is worth the wait!!! he is always so kind and professional and addressed my issues. His staff is kind and attentive as well. Dr. Halperin listens to my concerns and has helped me so much after I had an accident with my foot. He is a wonderful doctor and I am so grateful to be his patient. If you're looking for a GOOD podiatrist and want your foot issues to be solved, please don't waste your time with any other doctor because he is simply the best! I see him at his Beverly Hills location but I know he also has an office in Los Angeles as well. Thank you for the amazing care you give me at every visit! read more

I brought my mother to this clinic, the clinic is horrible there's like 5 seats in the lobby and it was full of people and flies (I think they were more flies inside the lobby than outside!) I can't believe that we literally had to sit outside the clinic on a dirty sidewalk. I have never seen that in my life, people pulling up folding chairs outside, you can tell this clinic over books their patients! We waited a long time sitting outside and did I mention it was about 89 degrees out! No one came outside to offer some at least water! All we could hear is other people complaining! After what felt like 5 hours they took us to a room as we were walking there I noticed the carpet looked old, I don't think it was meant to be a black-grayish color originally...disgusting! Not to mention the stained floors. I felt like my mother and I were gunna catch something! After waiting another hour inside I decided to leave and fast! I had seen enough I didn't want to risk my mother's health. This clinic is disgusting I would not recommend anybody or their loved ones to come to this place. This place needs to be inspected by The health department! They need to stop this place from possibly risking patients lives! read more

I had an appointment today at 1pm, arrived 15 minutes early, and waited for 2 hours before leaving without seeing a doctor. I found the staff highly unprofessional and I would not recommend seeing this podiatrist. read more

i can't get through on the phone!!! i'm hold for along time!!! my paperwork didn't go through:( for diabetic shoes!!!) the waiting time,( in the waiting room,) takes to long!!! the nurses are busy,gossiping or walking around;( as though they're modeling!!!) read more

2 out of 3 times I've come here with an appointment that I've been 15-20 minutes early for- yet the wait is upwards of 2 hrs. The waiting room is small, dirty, and over crowded with a loud tv blaring so it is impossible to read a book or concentrate on anything meaningful or positive. There aren't even enough seats for all the patients. The front staff is rude and uninformed - they ask the same medical background questions repeatedly. When I have been in the back for the appointment, it is also shockingly dirty with little privacy. In one area there is wall to wall office carpeting onto which they are clipping infected toe nails onto. It is very unsanitary. When my ex rays were finally taken the woman taking them didn't even wear protective gear. Overall my experience here has been substandard and disempowering. I am surprised there hasn't been any undercover investigation of this office and I will definitely be reporting them to Medi-Cal. read more

I love this doctor. He is competent, communicates clearly and sensitively. My sister was referred to him after a toe amputation for further care. She explained to him her pain physically and emotionally and he was compassionate, caring and understanding of her needs. He takes great interest in your situation and tells you what you need to know in plain language. He's not quick to get out or rush the appointment. He's also a funny guy, has a great sense of humor which is much needed in today's world. He's not bitter and grumpy like a lot of other doctors I know. His staff is friendly. Yes the place gets crowded, probably because everyone wants him as their doctor. The place is not dirty as previously mentioned. Those pictures of the floor or bottom of door have no merit. Bottom line, I would deffinitely recommend him and if I ever need a podiatrist for myself, he's the man I will look up to. read more

dr Halperin has helped me in many ways not only healing my feet but also advises people in caring for their feet, he actually cares about his patients and takes care of the most critical patients first so jean g if your not in the critical list you just have to wait like every body else, there has been times when I have been in and out and times i have to wait with dr. halperin no one is turned away he and his staff are very professional Mr. Angel read more

I've like to say that Dr.Halperin has been the best thing that has happen to my husband. We have had workmen's comp since 8/7/2010. We have had Dr that drop the ball. And Dr. That have said live with the pain. My husband has pain and suffering in his right ankle. Even some of the staff have been hard to work with but he dose have some very good staff. He has been good Dr. For my husband and he was put into my husband life for reason. He's good Dr and we stand by that. Thank you from the Montiel . read more

This place is overcrowded!! Staff is unprofessional.. X-rays are only done on certain days certain hours. If only a fracture they'll do same day. If I had a fracture I would be at a ER or an urgent care facility instead. X-rays are done in 5-10 minutes. Or send the patient to another X-ray facility. read more

Posting pics of dust on the bottom of a chair... Calm down, buddy. Calm down. The 1star reviews clearly reflect people who are too impatient to wait for their appointment. Which is a valid warning- if you go expect a little bit of a wait time. BUT the front desk staff is sweet and if you tell them you're going down the street to get food or something, they'll give you a call when you're actually up. Or someone will come outside and yell your name a few times so you don't miss your turn. Once you actually get back there, everything runs pretty smoothly. Dr. Halperin is fantastic. I expected something rushed with how hectic the front office was and the number of people rushing by my room... But while you're being checked out you feel like you're the only patient there. The nursing staff is friendly, and Dr. Halperin really takes the time to make sure you're on the same page and don't have any fears or unanswered questions. The small space works to their benefit in some ways: it's a very personal atmosphere and you're never left sitting in a room for hours waiting for doctors to shuffle in and out while they rush around some giant hospital. I felt well-taken care of, and I'll definitely be back. read more
