She treated me for callous growth on bottom of foot for a year after my podiatrist retired. Repeatedly re-used blades. Often very painful in her procedures. Minimal service, minimal communication. New staff every time I went. That also says something about her. i wouldn't trust her as far as i could throw her. read more

I have never felt so mistreated by a medical professional. Her office tried charging me for a $50 cancellation fee when I called a day ahead and the online registration form policy states a 24-hour notice. Her examinations were rushed and didn't feel thorough with my many unaddressed questions. She taped my foot out of nowhere with a note of keeping it on for 5-7 days, then informed me at my next appointment that I did not need to keep it on. She suggested x-rays, a boot, and custom orthotics within minutes without much explanation. I don't even use Yelp, but the time in her clinic compelled me to write my FIRST review! read more

Melody Chong - DPM - Podiatrists Near Me - San Francisco, California

Doctor Melody Chong has treated my injured foot from a fall for several years and I like to say that I am very pleased with her service that takes care of my entire foot care from fungus to gout problem I occasionally have. Makes a difference to have a great foot doctor that cares. I highly recommend her for professional and quality care. read more

Although potentially knowledgeable, Dr. Chong did not share clinical information in helpful way. She was very focused on what she could be reimbursed for. As an example, when she taped 1 foot (which took approximately two minutes) and I asked her to tape the other foot she Refused to do so stating that Medicare only pays for one side of the body at a time. unbelievable! There was little to no transparency regarding billing practices as she stated that insurance does not reimburse for orthotics, which in fact my insurance does. She later stated it was she who did not accept insurance. To add to the issue, she refused to make a direct referral to the UCSF ORTHOTICS clinic forcing me to see another Podiatrist to garner a referral to the UCSF ORTHOTICS clinic where I could have orthotics made under my insurance. I would not recommend this provider at all. read more

Dr. Chong is smart and skillful doctor. I had pain on my right big toe, and I had a surgery for it. I didn't feel much pain at procedure, also I didn't need any painkillers after that. They gave me a direction for post surgery self-treatment at home. It helped my toe to be cured properly. The all staffs are nice and friendly. Dr. Chong is knowledgeable and reliable doctor. You should visit for any foot issues. read more

Dr. Chong was very caring & thorough during my mother-in-law's visit. Front desk staff was pleasant and efficient.

THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW IN YELP. If I can rate this dr and her service a zero or negative below zero, I have no hesitation to do so. My husband just told me what happened in this dr. office because I had to work and did not go to the appt with him. My husband took my 2 yr old kid this morning to see Dr Chong. I almost do not even want to call her dr. As we know, handling a two yr old in a dr office can be difficult. Because my kid was crying, my husband had to ask the dr. to repeat some of the information a couple of times. Dr. Chong literally told my husband "I told you earlier". My husband had to explain (I do not know why he need to explain) but the dr was in the office with them and saw my husband trying to calm my two yr old down. The dr. talked to my husband many times like "I told you earlier" & "did not I tell you" when my husband asked her to repeat some information politely because of my crying kid. I found this is unacceptable and disrespectful. She is a dr. who only has medical knowledge but does not have sympathy at all. I do not think anyone should have to experience this kind of treatment when goes to a dr. appt esp with a young kid. Melody: you are not the only podiatrist in the world; you will be treated the way you treat others. Never go back there! read more

I had heel pain for the last year or so and when I went to Dr. Chong, she was able to help me with the pain! I can now walk longer than I used to. The contrast baths really helped! read more

Apart from being completely rude and unhelpful, this woman does not seem particularly adept at her job. I went to her for foot problems, obviously, and when it turned out I had bunions, she refused to give me solid advice as to what I should do about them. "Do you think it will get worse?" I kept asking. "Do you think I should get surgery?" All she could do was repeatedly shrug and tell me, "It's up to you." She refused to let me see my own x-rays without scheduling another appointment (which she then proceeded to charge me for - exorbitantly, I might add). I basically had to twist her arm and do my own internet research to figure out what my options were. In the end, I opted for orthotics instead of surgery, but not only did Dr. Chong get the fitting wrong (the ROCK HARD soles she originally set me up with did not reach the edge of my feet; they cut into my heels, leaving excruciating blisters), she attempted to charge me for her own mistakes, then became aggressively hostile when I expressed further concerns about the fitting. To this day, I still have foot problems, and I am paying my bill off, which amounts to over $1000. Less than a year later, the orthotics have worn through, so I haven't even bothered keeping them in my shoes. Somewhere along the line, Dr. Chong casually mentioned that she was redecorating her home in Pac Heights, which may explain her tendency to squeeze hidden fees out of unsuspecting patients. (She wanted to charge me $100 for an orthotics refitting until I protested.) I've tried to talk down my bill multiple times, but even her own secretary admits that she is simply "not a nice lady" and that there are no options for low-income patients like me. Upstanding doctor right here - not only does Dr. Chong fail to do her job properly, she has little to no interest in the well-being of her patients. She clearly went into the medical business with the intention of funding a wealthy lifestyle, not with the desire to help others. I would not recommend Dr. Melody Chong to anyone - especially if you are looking for a doctor who can, at the very least, feign concern for your predicament. I feel like this lady took me for very long and expensive joyride that I have yet to pay off. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would be more than happy to give her 0 stars. Melody has terrible bedside manner and is the worst doctor that has ever treated me hands down. I know 2 others who have came here and have truly hated their experience. We all agreed that Melody doesn't care for your overall being. All she wants is money money money. Not to mention, she did a terrible job for my cousin who asked for an ingrown toenail removal. My cousin clearly stated she didn't want her whole toe nail removed and Melody ended up removing her WHOLE NAIL. What a reckless doctor!!! She yelled at me when I shifted my foot a bit and said in a rude manner" STOP MOVING YOUR FOOT!" I am truly in awe of her work and who she is as a person. Please don't waste your time or money to go here. read more

I was referred to Melody Chong by my podiatrist, Charles Starrett, who had to unexpectedly stop his practice this year due to family issues. His voice message referred all his patients to Melody Chong. Today would've been my 3rd visit to her office to remove a painful corn and check for toe fungus. Her website says she accepts my insurance and a lot of other insurances, so that made it easy. My first two visits to her were uneventful and she seemed nice enough and listened to my concerns. My 80 year old mother also recently became her patient. A few weeks ago she told my mother that she needed to purchase RevitaDERM (Urea Cream 40 /-8oz) to remedy her foot problem and that it was not available anywhere except in her office. It cost my mother $80. When she got home and explained this to me I found it instantly on Amazon for $42.13 and free shipping. She lied to and took advantage of my old mother. At my visist today she was already 40 minutes behind schedule and I sat there waiting. In the meantime I asked the organized, smart and kind front desk medical assistant, Cary, to check and see if Dr. Chong would take back and credit my mother for this jar of unopened shrink-wrapped cream and tell her that she had misled my mother. He returned quickly and said that she refused to take back the cream. I told him to go back and tell her that he would lose two new clients today, me and my mother, if she didn't credit her for this cream. She's nearly 40 minutes behind schedule and said "no" a second time, so I said I wouldn no longer wait for my appointment and would bill her for 40 minutes of my wasted time waiting there. I also need to mention another undesirable practice, other than deceit, at Dr. Chong's office. While I had been patiently waiting for 40 minutes for my appointment because Dr. Chong was running late, and failed to offer an apology for, a few disgruntled patients who were checking out at the front desk were being told that Dr. Chong's office policy is that the patient needs to pay 50 percent of their current unpaid annual deductible up front and they'll be refunded once their insurance pays her. Not only were these patients taken by surprise but so was I. Once these patients had left in anger, Cary asked me if I'd pay 1/2 of my annual unpaid deductible for today's visit. In my nearly 32 years with Blue Shield/Cross and a lifetime of doctors' visits, I'd never ever heard of this policy. I called my insurance company immediately and they confirmed that doctor's can do this but most good doctor's do not. They also told Cary that my deductible had already been met and I wasn't to pay Dr. Chong anything. They instantly faxed him this information. Cary's computer billing system hadn't been updated with my insurance information, but that's not his fault, it's Dr. Chong's billing company's fault. Two strikes aren't enought against Dr. Chong. I'm not all that picky about how an office is decorated but one cannot help but notice the cobwebs and dirt on her office walls, and the grimey floors. The billing and patient chart area is stacks of charts and papers scattered everywhere in disaray. General cleanliness is lacking and I can't believe such a dirty office environment is allowed in a Califonia Pacific Medical Center's medical office building. This office is in dire need of a complete remodel. I never noticed if she even follows basic protocol and autoclave's/sterilizes her tools between each patient use. You should ask BEFORE you decide to go to her. My mother and I will now look for a reputable podiatrist who is honest, doesn't ask for 1/2 of an unpaid deductible up front and who takes pride in maintaining a clean, organized and simply decorated office. read more

Dr. Melody Chong, she's is a fantastic doctor! Very knowledgeable, funny and takes care of me every time I see her! I am very pleased with my doctor, and my foot pain has gotten a lot better. I highly recommend Dr. Chong, she's is awesome and makes you feel very comfortable at every visit. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Chong if you have any feet issues. I had pain in my feet and was referred by my primary care physician to see her and got all the care I needed. She is a very pleasant person and also very funny! read more

My Mother was referred to Melody Chung by her primary care physician and her experience was awful from the start! When she arrived she noticed the office was cramped and very dated which you wouldn't mind if the Dr was great. The receptionist handed her a very long form to complete and she was called in before it was entirely completed. Once in the exam room the receptionist came in and asked her for her $15 copay. She paid and the dr started the exam. My mom said she was there for a baseline diabetic exam of feet and told her that she was concerned about dry skin and arch sensations. The dr told her she had athletes foot and her feet sweat, which they do not and told her to buy cotton socks and dismissed her. She said the exam room was very cramped and dirty. The Dr then told her she needed a special prescription medication only sold in her office and to get it from the receptionist. When with receptionist he gave her a bottle he told her it was $40 and that she needed it and it was not covered by insurance. He then handed her another form to sign and after she read it she realized it was a no return policy for the medication. The "medication turned out to be a spray for your shoes for athletes foot. You can find various products at any store for a fraction of that cost. My Mother left that office feeling like she was taken advantage of and she was. It all happened so fast she didn't realize till she got home what had happened. What type of "Dr" takes advantage of their patients and squeezes them for extra cash. This one. read more

"Bedside manner" is the demeanor that a physician assumes toward a patient. Melody Chong has the worst bedside manner of any doctor I've ever encountered. Interacting with her, you quickly become aware of a "personality problem," tense, something's wrong, vibe. Just terrible. A legitimate question gets this response: weird pause, a noticable exhaling that implies she's put-out by the question, and then an unhelpful, quick sparring response. It's so sad that so many educational resources went into her: years of teachers-doctors spending time to help her so that she could be a specialiist, and instead the outcome is this horrible doctor people will have to deal with for years. I would have let the horrible bedside manner go, if she had offered ways to fix my Achilles tendons that worked. I had waited two months to see her, and was optimistic about a cure for my problem which were nodules (bumps) on both tendons from athletics. But what she offered didn't work: 1800 Mg of Ibuprofen daily for a month, and contrast baths. I tried it. It didn't work. Her being noticeably put out by my questions works great for her: the visit ended early: it was over in 15 minutes. Then I went to another podiatrist: Vincent Wong. What a breathe of fresh air in comparison! A nice podiatrist who offered solutions that she never mentioned: ultrasound and cross-frictional massage by a physical therapist. These are starting to work. You've been warned. read more

If I could give this "doctor" 0 stars believe me I would. If you have any type of foot problem please stay away from Melody Chong. This woman is completely inept. I had THE worst experience with this woman. I came to see her because my primary doctor made a referral for my feet. The left foot has a slight yet visible bunion deformity. I explained to her in our initial consultation that I do not intend on having bunion surgery as my problem is very mild. I don't have any foot pain, inflammation, or any other inconvenience because of my bunion. I told her I came to see her because of the corns that I got on my foot that developed from a pair shoes that I bought that were too tight a few years back. I tried removing them at home but it made the worse. I have done a lot of research on this topic and saw that people can in fact have them surgically removed (stitches and all) not just temporarily shaven off. Instead of hearing my concerns she immediately tried to push me towards getting some orthopedic shoe insole. I said that would be something I'd be interested in but that wasn't my major concern at the moment as I wanted the corns removed asap. She proceed to shave them off, which seems to be a pretty standard procedure, and even that she managed to butcher. She cut me pretty bad and didn't even apologize. Instead she asked me to put on my shoes and if that felt better? Why don't you tell me if your foot feels better after someone cuts you. She then said if I had any other questions....uh yeah how about the surgery to have the corns removed, my one an only concern. She then said she can't give me any answers because she needs to look at an X-Ray first. I was a little confused and even though I avoid x-rays I went and got one. Today was my second appointment, I had to leave work early, catch a lyft across town, pay my co-pay for her to say "I looked at your x-ray, it's clear you have a bunion". Umm yeah we already established that...I thought the x-ray was for you to determine how to best remove the corns. Her answer, "It's a three month recovery". When I said that wasn't a problem she just gave a blank stare and said okay any other questions. Well I'd like to schedule as soon as possible for the surgery to which she responds with "Well, I personally don't do surgeries any more but I can refer you to my colleague". I don't even want to get into what I was thinking when she told me this but instead of arguing with her about having her waste my time and money I said okay can I have a referral form. She then said well no surgery can happen until you get the orthopedic insoles (bunion preventative). I said fine I'll schedule an appointment to come back for the insoles. She then sends her receptionist to make me a referral form to see her colleague about the surgery and under reason: bunion surgery! Are you kidding me? I told the receptionist that I told "Dr" Chong several times that I do not want the bunion surgery. Melody Chong then storms into the waiting room to yell at me telling me that I had to have bunion surgery as that is the only option to correct the issue and that the surgery that I want does not exists! Maybe if "Dr" Melody Chong spend a little more time researching methods other than how to shave corns and sell insoles she would be aware that in fact those surgeries do exists. There are two little things called youtube and google, we are aware of how advanced science is (laser corn removal and regular surgery are both available) and therefore we know what types of services real doctors can perform and if you are not adept enough to do them yourself at least be informed as to what options are available to your patients and don't go around getting people's hopes up and wasting our valuable time. It's no wonder she has terrible reviews already. I honestly feel awful for the young girls that have to work in her office. She has no idea what she is doing and I sense she does this for the money. This woman doesn't care about her patients or their well-being. Please, I advise if you need a podiatrist stay away from Melody Chong. read more

I was referred by my PCP to see Dr Chong for orthotics. The process went smoothly and I received my orthotics within two weeks. Dr Chong is very kind and knowledgeable, explaining how it all worked. My foot pain has very much improved! read more

This is the first negative doctor's review I've submitted: At first visit, after diagnosing her with plantar fasciitis, taped my daughter's foot and charged $150 for the 2-minute taping. The taping was so uncomfortable my daughter wanted to take it off once home, and I did let her. It had seemed so quickly done and not feeling like she was tuned in to our appt. She had said my daughter needed her foot in a boot, so we went straight to get one in the rain which ended up being $220 out-of-pocket after insurance, and our later podiatrist (after I felt unconfident about her care) said she never needed a boot and also that she felt her diagnosis was wrong. At end of visit, pushed to set up orthotics appt. Second visit, hadn't reviewed her notes. Didn't know why my daughter was there. Unhelpful. Waste of time. Of course she wanted to "tape" my daughter's foot again for another $150. And of course it was again so uncomfortable my daughter wanted to take it off once home, and I did let her do that again. At end of visit, of course pushed again to set up orthotics appt. We just had those done with our new amazing podiatrist. No looking back to that office, except to pay the ridiculous bill. Almost contested the code (29540, which was also listed as a surgery because of the lumping together the way insurance does things). It's such a rip-off to both insurance companies and individuals. Don't let her tape your foot if you're not convinced it's needed. She didn't at all explain to us why it was needed, and I should have asked, except that I trusted her at that point and even the second time. I want to trust doctors! And it's disappointing when that trust dissolves. Besides feeling like the office was a joke (long wait time, Dr. Chong even manning the phones and intake during our first visit), according to our new podiatrist, she set back the healing of my daughter's foot with the wrong diagnosis and having her in an unneeded boot. read more

I was referred to Melody Chong by my 10 year old daughter's pediatrician at CPMC. My daughter had been complaining about pain in arches in both her feet. We first went for a consultation, arriving on time. Her office was empty but we waited for 30 min. Upon arrival, the receptionist told me we had to pay $109 now before seeing the doctor. It felt very mechanical and out of order. I told him that I didn't understand since we didn't even know what the issues was yet, but he told me it was their office policy. Dr. Chong arrived and immediately told us that my daughter had flat feet and for the growing bones she needed foot inserts. She said to make another appointment to come back to do the necessary fitting for shoe sole inserts. 5 minutes maximum. Since we were there, why couldn't we just get fitted then? Apparently also not the office policy. Her office was very aggressive in calling me to set up the follow-up appointment. I arrived, bringing all 3 of my children after school, including my smallest who was unfortunately sick. We again arrived on time and waited for 30 minutes. While waiting, the front desk again informed me that I had to pay $95 before seeing the doctor. We went to see her and she told me about another treatment, applying tape to the feet, adding that it was optional. I said I didn't see the need for tape and thought she was going to take measurements for my daughter's sole inserts. Dr. Chong replied no, that we would need another appointment for that. I was upset and told the front desk admin to refund me for what I paid as I thought I was coming to do the measurements for the inserts and had no time to come another time. He told me he agreed with me, that I came for nothing, and he said he had already told her she should not charge me for that but she said not to issue a refund. I'm not sure if that was "a good cop/bad cop" approach but in the end I wasted time and money, and felt taken advantage of. After our visit I read many of Dr. Chong's Yelp reviews, many highlighting similar poor treatment of patients: just charging them for visits like a factory without a focus on the care or solution. Doctors like this should be removed by the CPMC network and should be evaluated on the basis of the Hippocratic Oath they have all taken: "I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism. I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.... I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart... but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick." read more

Dr. Melody Chong is an amazing doctor, who is both knowledgeable and caring. Since meeting her I have learned so much about the importance of my feet and how to best take care of them. Dr. Chong is very kind to all her patients and cares about getting them the best care. She does an amazing job with any procedure, and knows how to handle any issues that concerns the patient. She is a great doctor and an amazing person! She also has a great front office as well. Whenever I walk in, I'm greeted by a wonderful person in Marilu, who take such great joy in working with everyone that comes in. She connects with all of them and makes everyone feel welcomed. This is a great office and I have had a wonderful experience every time I go there! read more

I was referred by my PCP to see Dr. Chong. Making an appointment was very easy. They were able to squeeze me in with my busy schedule. The medical assistant Crystal was very sweet and helpful. My visit with Dr Chong was very pleasant, she took the time to look at both my feet and answered all my questions leaving me very satisfied with my visit. I also made a purchase there and that product has a money back guarantee, which I am pleased about. Happy that I have been referred to Dr. Chong! :) Definitely recommend her as an excellent podiatrist! read more

Firstly, she takes Medical San Francisco Health Plan, which is awesome! It's hard to find a lot of specialists that take this insurance. Secondly, she is excellent at removing ingrown toenails. I cannot speak on any of her other procedures/diagnoses, but her surgery on my nail was flawless. She did it super quick, was very precise, and talked pleasantly with me during the process, which I appreciated. The only reason I don't give a 5-star rating is because she does seem to be running on a tight schedule all the time, which makes her give off this vibe that she just wants to get you in and out. I have to say, that bothered me. However, she was still nice and polite aside from that, and she definitely knew what she was doing with my toe. There are some reviews on here that say that she has bad manners and that she doesn't know anything about her field, but I have to disagree. I think both of those statements are too broad to be accurate. She might have some bad manners (like the rushing), but she proved to me that some of her manners are up to par (such as polite conversation, greetings, etc.). As for her knowledge of podiatry, she obviously knows a thing or two about ingrown toenails, so it is unfair to say that she doesn't know anything. Maybe someone had an issue that she didn't seem adept at fixing, but if you are going for an ingrown nail issue I can assure you she is a great choice. read more

Excellent podiatrist and person. I absolutely loved my visits to her office. She is so sweet and her assistant Cary was very helpful. As for the doctor, she was careful with her procedures, and the trip went smoothly and quickly with no hinderances. Definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a podiatrist! read more

I was referred to Dr. Chong by my primary physician for a toe fungus, which she diagnosed as "Tinea-Unguium", which I gather is a fairly common fungus. She told me that there was a prescription pill available, the only alternatives to which were non-insurance-covered and expensive topical treatments. I asked her if there were side-effects to the pills, to which she said to call her if I got headaches or disgestive upset. She issued the prescription and said to see her again in a month. When I filled the prescription, Terbinafine 250mg yablets, a month's supply, I read the side-effect warnings. They were serious and extensive, and included liver damage to the extent of death or a liver-transplant, and the initiation of the disease lupus, as well as loss of taste and smell, possibly permanently. "... It can cause very bad health problems that may not go away, and sometimes death." All this and not even monitoring for an entire month of daily pills. This dangerous prescription went instantly into the trashcan, and a cursory Internet search yielded numerous well-reviewed over-the-counter treatments for this fungus. I ordered a month's supply of one for about $50. read more

Worst experience with a doctor ever. I wish I would have read the other reviews on yelp about Dr Chong before becoming her patient. On my first visit she told me, not asked, that she was going to order a post-op shoe for me. I insisted on her not ordering it, because we didn't even know what was wrong with my foot, and those are very expensive. She seemed annoyed at my defiance. Upon my second visit, she looked at my xrays, told me that my foot wasn't broken or dislocated, and suggested an MRI. In the middle of me asking if I could call and schedule it, she interrupted me in a very aggressive tone and said id need to hurry up because she had to schedule it. I also asked her exactly what an MRI would find, she gave me a vague answer of "it will help is find out what's going on." As I was asking her if she had any more information for me she again interrupted me with a harsh "NO!", as if I was insulting her with my question. I then asked her assistant for my X-rays as I was leaving, as I knew I wouldn't be back, and would need to take them to my next podiatrist. I waited in the waiting room for them as the receptionist told me she wanted to schedule me for a follow-up appointment in two weeks. Follow up for what?? I exclaimed to her that I would not be coming back and I was going to find a new doctor. Then I heard Dr Chong whisper to the receptionist "is she still here?", and then told me that since I was there she could give me an injection. What kind of injection? Why didn't she offer this to me in the office when I was asking her if she had any more info for me? She had no answers for me. And that point, there was no way I was going to let her inject me with anything, especially when she had no clue what was wrong with my foot. I am beyond disappointed in Dr Chongs lack of any bedside manner. Other than having no information for me whatsoever, her attitude and complete lack of empathy made for a really bad experience. I would definitely recommend staying away from Dr Melody Chong. read more

I was worried taking my daughter here with the reviews below but we had a great experience. Dr. Chong had great bed side manner toward my 5 year old and me.

I've been to her many times with various foot problems. She has always taken good care of my needs and with a very warm, pleasant bedside manner.

My primary physician recommended her. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Chong for nine years. I think she is a very fine doctor and has helped me enormously. I have had various foot problems and she has always been very helpful. She has always been warm and kind. I find she has a very patient, good-natured bedside manner. I have a morton's neuroma, which she treated first with cortisone shots and then an adjustment to my orthotic. It has been under control since then. She has not pushed surgery and instead offers suggestions. I think she is an excellent doctor and recommend her highly. read more

Dr. Melody Chong assisted me with some urgent foot care. I had stepped on a piece of a glass and needed to be seen as soon as possible.

I am a high school soccer player and was having trouble with my feet throughout recent soccer games. I could not run a full 80 minutes without complaining to my coach about my feet throbbing after all of the stop-and-go motions I would go through in a game. So, my pediatrician referred me to Dr. Chong. It was one of the best of the decisions my parents and I made to see her. I went in and was seen within 10 minutes even though I was a new patient. Wow, that was fast! As soon as I sat down in the room, she observed my walking and knew right away that I needed orthotics to help with my flat feet. So, the next follow up visit, I was casted for my orthotics and received them within 2 weeks. As soon as I got them, I put them into my soccer cleats and was on my way to a 2 day tournament. And wow! There was no pain at all after 4 games in 2 days. That was amazing! read more

She helped me a lot with my foot problem, I've been seeing her for 3 years. She's very helpful, kind and warm. I recommend her highly :D
