Dr. Zapf's treatment and knowledge of my medical problem is excellent. He is very caring and my pain is gone. I highly recommend him.

I had a painful hammertoe for some time and was afraid to have surgery because I thought recovery would be too long. I finally had the surgery because I trusted Dr. Zapf. The surgery was perfect and the recovery was fast. I was dancing on Mother's Day. Dr. Zapf is an excellent doctor. read more

This review is for Dr. Zapf and the visit I had recently in the Thousand Oaks office. I was seen for foot pain that would come and go and I was beginning to become frustrated because I went through a foot - related ordeal years ago and this seemed to be turning into a very similar experience. The doctor took x rays and showed me what the problem was and got right down to how to treat it. The treatment began that very day and I was pleased I would not have to come back in at a later date to start treatment. His nurse Rachel did a wonderful job of not letting me leave without making sure I understood the timeline of my treatment and encouraged me to call with questions. The secretaries were very pleasant and helped me with a billing insurance question. Thank you Dr. Zapf for getting me back on my feet!! read more

Michael A Zapf, DPM, MPH, FACFAS - Found the office! - Podiatrists Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

See all

I want to first say my fusion surgery went perfectly. I do have 2 issues with the office. 1. I had a minor issue causing the need for a pad or orthotics. I ordered a pair of orthotics unbenost to me that they were $420 . When I went to pick them up is when I was given the notice I was being charged the $420. With a deposit if $150 and they would refund what was left after my insurance.took care.of their part. The front office knew my insurance would.not cover any of it prior to my ordering them. They are also useless because they don't help even after dr.zapf added a cushioned pad. When I told dr.zapf my problem with the paper work he tried at first to show me the form I signed to which I pointed out when I was given the form. He said he would refund my money . At this point I had paid $250. I wrote a letter explaining again what was my issue. I have yet to receive a response or my money refunded to me. That was a couple months ago. My surgery was on Jan 14th and I did try the orthotics foe a could weeks with no help l. 2. Is neither the nurse or doctor told me that they rented the knee chair nor the crutches. I purchased my own crutches. After telling the nurse on my post op visit that I had fallen and I was obviously having problem using the.cruthes. She still did not make me aware they had them. Dr.zapf is a very nice man and a great podiatrist. I am saying the office Staff should be more efficient. I also feel he should honor what he said and refund my money.. read more

Love Dr. Zapf. Not only is he very friendly but so is Rachel. They both have an amazings sense of humor and really listen to you as the patient. This visit was for my 7 yr old. I had mentioned to Dr. Zapf during my last visit that my son has flat feet and occasionally complains about feet pain. He gave me his email address so that i can email him pictures of my sons feet. Rachel took the time to teach me how to properly take the pictures. I couldnt believe that this doctor was kind enough to ask for pictures instead of telling me to set a consultation visit. I truly appreciate thst instead of just taking my money on a consult he checked the pictures and emaiked me his professional opinion. As it turns out my son does need orthotics. I will write an uodate as soon as he starts wearing his custom made orthotics, but for now I highly recommend Dr. Zapf for any of your feet issues. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Zapf for many years. Fortunately, I don't need to see him very often. However I recently had a bone spur on my pinky toe that was extremely painful and has been bothering me for years! I did not want to have a long surgical procedure or recovery, so I just lived with the pain. I decided I had had enough! Doctor Zapf told me he could do the procedure in his office as an outpatient, and it would be a quick procedure. I said yes! He did the entire procedure from start to finish in about 15 minutes. The procedure was totally painless and the recovery was virtually immediate, with zero complications! His knowledge, expertise and experience are amazing, and he's also a super nice person! read more

I had a Bunionectomy with a bone cut 7 weeks ago. I have been told that this surgery has a painful recovery period by many who have had it done. Dr. Zapf was great before, during and after surgery. He is very caring and thorough. My pain was minimal and easily managed. Recovery was much easier than I thought. It has been 7 weeks and my foot feels great. I even went on a 3 mile hike yesterday. No pain then and no pain now. Thanks Dr. Zapf!!! read more

Dr Zapf was great. So easygoing and very good communication about your issues. Very knowledgeable I highly recommend Dr. Zapf

Dr Zapf is so kind and patient. He removed an ingrown nail from my big toe. I would totally recommend him. The office staff were kind as well. read more

Beautiful new office in Agoura Hills. There is a lot more parking than the old location. I had never had the joy of experiencing an ingrowing toenail (sarcasm) but Dr. Zapf was able to take care of the nail within 20 minutes! I was so scared but his assistant was able to calm me down by telling me how she had the same problem just a few weeks prior. She is terrific. I barely felt the injection (they use a nifty "freeze spray") and the tiny sliver but very problematic piece of nail was removed. Who knew I would be so excited to share my ingrowing nail story. read more

I had put off having surgery for my bunions for years and years and finally it got so bad that I also had a very painful hammertoe so I knew it was time to bite the bullet! I am so glad I chose Dr. Zapf and I highly recommend him to anyone with any foot issue!!! He explained everything so clearly and the staff were great as well!The surgery was a week ago and I have had NO pain! I felt so good that I did too much yesterday and had to take it easy today, still no pain I was just tired! I never would have waited so long if I had known and I already have told everyone I have talked to including strangers in the store about Michael Zapf!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!! read more

Dr. Zapf is great. He designed orthotics for me that were the opposite of what I thought would work for my unusual foot problem... but they worked! He also did a painless and effective job of some minor surgeries on my feet. I found him to be very resourceful with unusual problems, and patient and kind. His years of experience put him above (in problem-solving abilities) a couple of other local podiatrists I had gone to. read more

I was having "off-and-on" discomfort in my second toe (next to Big Toe). Dr. Zapf was pleasant (and funny!) and recommended simply wearing a foam sleeve over the toe whenever I had difficulty. It worked perfectly and I avoided surgery. In my opinion, Dr. Zapf is honest, professional and highly competent. I absolutely recommend him. read more

Dr. Zapf is wonderful. He determined by X-ray that the pain in my foot was due to a broken bone & even found two other old injuries. Dr. Zapf gave me a small boot to wear first; if that didn't work I would use a large boot. I appreciated the more conservative approach. His nurse Rachel explained how to buckle the boots & also how to walk in them very clearly. Dr. Zapf's offices are very well equipped and clean in both locations. Gemma Marrone read more
