Allen, a respected PT, spoke highly of Dr. Tanaka and I now understand why. In addition to his friendly and helpful staff, he is a responsive and experienced Podiatrist who listens to his patients. He was also interested in understanding my history. His diagnostic skills were impressive, quickly identifying my issue and providing reassurance that it could be addressed with approachable daily exercises and a topical gel. I left feeling confident that my needs had been responsibly addressed and with hope that my nagging pain and discomfort will soon be in the rear view mirror.

However, the last time I ordered duplicates, the order was lost and it took over 2 months to get the replacements, then the doctor wasn't available and they still weren't exact replicas. It was a huge hassle both getting them fit and making an appointment with the podiatrist. The podiatrist blamed it on the company that makes them. I have used this office for several years, but my recent experiences have soured me and I'm not going to return.

From first contact with staff to his consultation and ultimate toenail removal, it was a great experience. Dr. Dupont explains pros and cons of various treatment options in a clear and easy to understand way. He is friendly, funny and a pleasure to deal with. I walked in for a consult, and walked out (yes, walked) in no pain and so happy in a few months I'll have beautiful fungus-free toenails. The entire experience was outstanding from beginning to end.

The second visit had no substantial examination. It lasted only a few minutes and I was told to keep icing by foot and sold another insole. I later deduced on my problem was a result of new shoes impinging movement of big toe. The problem quickly resolved after I bought new shoes with no input from the doctor. The website and doctor said they would except HealthNet, but were out of network. They were completely uncompromising and would not apply the $230 they received from insurance towards the $250 self-pay option. (The copays meant it cost more to have a PPO with $0 in network deductible and $200 out-of-network deductible than no insurance at all!)

He even offered to use a knife to 'fix it'. Maybe for low level things he is okay. He had no idea how to help with an injured foot. His office will charge you a small charge by mail after your visits from their "billing" people. You can't pay online and you can't pay when in their office. My best advice is to mail in your credit card number and then file a dispute when it shows up. That way you don't rack up their crazy interest. I did that and won the dispute same day. Money is mine. Super shady billing to make it a hassle for you and to take advantage of low resource people. Do better Dr. DuPont

I'd like to start by saying I strongly dislike posting negative reviews. I let the first five or so…read morenegative experiences/interactions here slide - because, hey, we're all human. But after my interaction today - enough is enough. Poor experience. I was seen for a broken bone in my foot. I am aware that my insurance covers almost nothing - so from the beginning gently inquired about fees (for example the walking boot, which I was ASSURED would be covered by insurance - and then, as I expected, wasn't- that cost $350). This wasn't invited by the lady at the front desk, who only continuously urged me to 'not worry' about it. The exams lasted about 30 seconds, and weren't comprehensive. When you call the phone number (ON THE BUSINESS CARD) any time besides business hours, somebody answers like it's a residential phone, then BARKS another number for you to call and "LEAVE A MESSAGE!" The doctor pushed a 'natural' anti-inflammatory cream at me which I purchased for $30 against my better judgement - without explanation. I requested an additional radiograph of my foot (out of curiosity - for my own purposes to view deformed bones). The image I was given is so dark that almost nothing is visible- I inquired, hoping to receive at least a partial refund of the $58 patient portion it cost to which the front office woman, Carmen said to me "Some x-rays are darker than others, that's just the way it is, THANK YOU, goodbye." (...to my face, mind you). ...I'm a health care provider, expected to expose and interpret (oral) radiographs daily. It's overexposed, or their developing chemistry is off. Nondiagnostic - but more than that disappointing because I was really excited to see it/use it to make something cool. There are more negatives, but this post is already too long. The POSITIVE: The woman in charge of accounts (who tucked back on the left) was VERY professional, patient, and knowledgeable regarding my bill (the patient portion I was urged 'not to worry' about)- which was NOT easy to understand without her direct guidance (apparently due to the software they use, she said). She was the most professional individual I encountered there. Hands down.

Goodness - It's a Miracle!…read more If you listen well to his directions, you'll see great results. My right foot started hurting like hell and my walking gait had become a little wonky. l thought it was residual effect of having a screw removed years ago after a 5th metatarsal break had healed - wrong! Dr Wagstaff showed me my right foot was out of alignment, causing the wonky gait and pushing the side of my foot down into the side of the shoe, making it hurt! Dr Wagstaff showed me a simple stretch to release tension in my Achilles and a temporary set of orthotic insoles. The stretch brought the foot back into alignment, the temporary orthotic insoles kept it there. Dr Wagstaff did a mold of my feet while in his office, picked the orthotics up today. The results are wonderful! I walked out of Dr Wagstaff's office feeling like I was walking on a cloud; no pain and walking straight as a newly released arrow in flight - I call it miraculous! I can certainly recommend the services of Dr Wagstaff - pay attention to what he tells you.

Plus he didn't tell me he was fabricating anything, I didn't ask for it, then got bill with no explanation of what it was for.
