I suffered with an ingrown toenail for YEARS. Years. Apparently I had decided this was simply going…read moreto be part of my personality.Then I finally went to Dr. Elle. One visit. Problem solved. I walked out wondering why on earth I hadn't done this years ago. Dr. Elle is very knowledgeable, funny, warm, and really good at explaining exactly what she's doing and why--which I appreciate, especially when someone is approaching my toe with sharp instruments. She made the whole experience so much easier (and far less dramatic) than I had imagined. Her office staff is also genuinely lovely--friendly, helpful, and welcoming. And as an artist, I have to give bonus points for the fabulous foot-themed artwork throughout the office. If you're going to devote your professional life to feet, you might as well fully commit to the décor. I honestly can't say enough good things about Dr. Elle. If you have an ingrown toenail or any foot and ankle issue and you've been putting off dealing with it, learn from me: GO. Don't spend years suffering because you've somehow convinced yourself this is just your life now. It doesn't have to be that way. Trust me now, believe me later. Thank you, Dr. Elle, for fixing in one visit what I complained about for years.

If you are experiencing any kind of foot or ankle pain, look no further and start the process to…read morewellness with Dr. Farajian. I experienced on and off pain and swelling on my right foot for around 3 months before deciding I had enough and told myself something is not normal. I was referred to her by my mother who used to closely work with her back then. at this point I was limping everywhere I go, every step was a struggle, taking stairs was a dose of torture, driving required extra extra effort. my big toe was red, swelling and painful I couldn't even take a proper step. Every appointment was a breeze and efficient from the start, Jazmin and Christina are very welcoming and Dr Farajian herself evaluated and personally talked to me about her treatment plan on my first visit, after getting my feet digitally scanned and x-rayed, sadly my Insurance did not cover any part of it upon verification, so I had to invest in myself out of pocket, and putting all my trust as a patient onto Dr. Farajian. Tiny to No pain, No surgery, No fear all throughout my treatment process, they worked with my work schedule too. I can confidently say now It is worth it, this time of writing is 3 weeks post-growth factor treatment and walking with my new insoles, still waiting for full recovery of my growth factor as advised and directed by Dr., so I am still taking it easy, but for now I am back to normal activities, ZERO pain, ZERO limping, ZERO struggles in walking, taking stairs, ladders, driving because every step feels and looks normal now. and of course no more swelling anywhere. I am leaving this review because I am truly happy and grateful to feel and move normal again. they deserve all kinds of love and positive energy for what they do changing people's lives thru their expertise and craft, just as myself transforming and restoring smiles everyday on my job as a Dental lab technician. Her expertise speaks for itself and use this review as a testament, again I will say, please do yourself a favor and book your appointment now, come see them to end your foot and ankle pain!

I cannot count the many times he has treated me from immense pain. From Remy laser to prp treatments to cortisone shots.. Renew Podiatry has so many options to treat your foot pain. I recently ran a 12 hour endurance race, and was dealing with a neuroma flare up. Dr. Baik was able to see me with same day appointment, and we discussed treatment not just for today, but for the future. Dr. Baik and staff are people I have come to trust and rely on.

The staff offered me the choice of a same-day appointment or one the following day. I chose the next day, and the scheduling process was incredibly easy and convenient. From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming and professional. Check-in was quick, and I was called back to the exam room within minutes. Shortly after, Dr. Yang came in, which I really appreciated because I wasn't left waiting like I have been at many other medical offices. Dr. Yang took the time to explain my options for treating my pinky toe. He explained the difference between removing the ingrown portion of the nail, which would eventually grow back, and performing a permanent procedure that involved numbing my toe, removing the nail, and applying acid to prevent it from growing back. He made sure I understood everything before moving forward. What impressed me the most was that I didn't expect the procedure to be done that same day. Based on my past experiences with other doctors, I assumed I would only be evaluated and then have to schedule another appointment for the actual procedure. Instead, Dr. Yang was able to take care of everything during my visit. I really appreciated not having to come back for a second appointment, which saved me both time and the cost of another copay. My entire visit, including check-in, the consultation, and the procedure was completed in less than an hour. It's refreshing to find a medical office that values patients' time while still providing exceptional care. I highly recommend Orange County Podiatry and Dr. Yang. The entire staff was friendly, efficient, and caring, and they made what could have been a stressful visit a smooth and positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for excellent podiatry care.

He walked me through two surgical options: being admitted to the hospital or having the procedure done right in his well equipped office under local anesthesia. I chose the office procedure, and I'm so glad I did! During our consultation, I asked if I could film some of the surgery. Dr. Fishman immediately gave me the OK, making sure I was comfortable watching it. The procedure itself went incredibly well. I was so impressed that he has an X-ray machine right in the room to precisely locate where the incision and bone cutting need to happen. The entire operating room and all of the equipment were absolutely pristine and sterile. It has been about 6 weeks since the procedure, and my toes are completely straight again. I still have many weeks for the bones to completely heal, but the pain is entirely gone, and I have an incredible video to remember the experience by!

Dr. Hattan is an exceptional doctor. He corrected a misdiagnosis by a previous quack doctor I…read morevisited who suggested unnecessary surgery and has numerous terrible Yelp reviews from people being maimed by botched surgery at his hands. Dr. Hattan was the opposite, and he was not only professional in every area, but actually HIGHLY EXPERIENCED and actually CARES about his patients (and follows the Hippocratic Oath as all doctors should). Dr. Hattan not only corrected my issue with thoughtfulness and care, but followed up personally to make sure I recovered well. There's a reason he's considered a highly regarded doctor in Newport Beach. My advice to all people considering medical treatment from a surgeon: do your research. Read reviews (especially the bad ones) so you can make an informed decision. Your feet are supposed to carry you through life, and the wrong doctor will literally ruin your life. Thank you to Dr. Hattan and his team for great care. (Just one suggestion to Dr. Hattan, though: Sir, you might want to yell at your team less. I've learned in my illustrious career as a business owner that it's better to just lower your staff's bonuses, instead, if they're doing a bad job. Yelling only reduces YOUR credibility and causes your blood pressure to rise, which none of us wants, especially a doctor). But I digress. When you're a surgeon who is as good as Hattan is, you can yell all you want, and I'll still always go to him. Great job from a great doctor who understands his craft well, even if his bedside manner is slightly lacking.
