    Run, run, run! I need to warn everyone about Dr. Joseph. My experience with him has completely ruined my life. I went to him for a benign tumor on top of my toenail. He barely looked at it and immediately started talking about my ankle. Seven years ago I sprained that ankle, and it only ever bothered me occasionally after long hikes, nothing serious. Three weeks after my first visit, I was scheduled for surgery. I wish I had gotten a second opinion. Every appointment was rushed. All he cared about was paperwork, forms that were all about signing permission to use my image on social media and to record me. He also made inappropriate comments about my appearance and my relationship, and never explained anything. Five minutes before surgery, he casually told me he was having trouble with my insurance and might not even get paid. Then he pushed PRP on me and demanded $1,500 immediately. I was terrified and had no time to think. After surgery, I woke up in excruciating pain. He never checked on me. He didn't speak to my husband. Staff shoved me into a wheelchair and sent me out to the parking lot. I was taking painkillers every other hour just to survive, and when I told him the pain was unbearable, he brushed it off as normal. He even made me go to acupuncture with his colleague for $200 a session, which did nothing. Later, I found out the truth from other doctors. I never needed ankle surgery. The MRI never suggested it. The implant he put in was completely unnecessary. He didn't even remove the extra bone. He literally opened my ankle, added an implant for "stabilization," and closed it again. My ankle is now worse than ever. Seven months later, I'm in constant pain. I can't work, I can't exercise, my income is cut in half, and my life is destroyed. Many other patients report the same thing, rushed, unnecessary surgeries, repeated procedures, billed to insurance. This isn't a mistake. It's a pattern. Avoid this clinic at all costs.

    Finding a doctor who is both skilled and compassionate can be incredibly difficult, but I struck gold with Dr. Joseph! From the moment I met him, I knew I was in good hands. He has a wonderful bedside manner - kind, fun, and genuinely caring. He took the time to thoroughly explain my ankle stabilization and toe surgery, answering all my questions patiently and honestly. But what truly sets him apart is his dedication to going above and beyond for his patients. He truly has your back! For example, knowing I was recovering at home and couldn't celebrate my birthday, he actually ordered a special dinner for my husband and me! It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. When the surgery center closest to me, Advanced Surgical Center of Beverly Hills (which is the absolute worst surgery center in Los Angeles - avoid at all cost!) screwed up big time with my insurance and caused my mental duress and a panic attack minutes before my surgery, Dr. Joseph stood up for me without hesitation and then cancelled all of his surgeries there for a month. He puts patients over everything! Thanks to his skill and care, my recovery has been smooth and successful. I have no scar at all on my toe, and my ankle is healing nicely and will be minimal scaring - he's that good! I can't recommend Dr. Joseph highly enough. His staff is amazing too! So kind, cool, and helpful! If you're looking for a podiatrist who is not only an expert in his field but also a truly wonderful person, look no further!

    Dr Joseph is the best podiatrist in LA! I originally came in for my flat feet, however little did I know that I had 2 torn lateral tendons and a partial torn tendon and damaged cartilage from my foot partially collapsing inward. I've been living with this for about 10 years and finally a doctor who was able to spot my injuries even before my MRI! After confirming the damage with the mri result, he said we needed surgery asap before my foot completely collapses and needed surgery in multiple locations. He recommended prp for the partial tear & damaged cartilage and an anchor in my foot to reattach my 2 lateral ligaments. I thought recovery would take months but he said I would be up and walking within 5 weeks! I am now 10 weeks post surgery and able to walk and even squat at the gym. Dr Jospeh and his team was amazing with the surgery and really did help me feel comfortable for the entire surgery (as this was my first surgery). Thank you Dr Joseph! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5pA0LfvnNF/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

    Bunion removal

    Literally the best doctor ever! Finally got my bunion removed and the process has been amazing! He is so thorough and communicates so well! He listens to his patients and advocates for them. If I had to do this all over again I would only work with him. My foot is healing so well and we are only 3 weeks in!!! I am so happy I cannot wait to see it fully healed!

    Successful surgery on right foot. Final day of recovery and my foot just before the removal of the 5 stitches.

    Dr Joseph is a true master surgeon and did a wonderful job with the treatment of my injury from the result of a very long hike with bad shoes. In fact this is my very first surgery having to go under so I was very scared going in, (I have a serious phobia of doctors, needles, and anything medical) however he made the experience a tolerable one and did a fantastic job with removing the callus and infection on the bottom of my foot. Post care was very efficient and professional and I did not have to wait long for any of my appointments. He is also a really nice guy and a pleasure to talk to as well. I feel very comfortable recommending him and in fact I highly do so. If I ever have any problems with my feet I will certainly be back and the same goes for if I know anyone who has any minor to serious issues with their feet as well. Many thanks again!

    Smile on my face and in my foot!

    Dr. Joseph is an amazing Podiatrist and surrounds himself with a solid team of professionals. He has provided procedures on both of my ankles, and if I had a third ankle, I would definitely come see him for his services. If you are having any foot issues, this is the guy to seek out.

    Updating my review below due to the provider's response…read more I want to clarify a few points since your reply misrepresents parts of my review. First, I never had prior toe surgery. You were the first and only surgeon to operate on my toes, so this was not a revision case. Second, while you noted that scars are "inevitable," my review did not claim otherwise -- only that I was left with visible scars, which is true regardless of their location. The incision was made on the bottom of my toe, and while not immediately visible to others, it is still a scar I live with. Additionally, I reached out multiple times through the Spruce app regarding my concerns, and the responses I received were dismissive -- essentially that there was "no need to worry" because delayed nail growth was normal due to trauma. Unfortunately, my toenail has never grown back normally since, leaving me with a daily reminder of an outcome worse than before surgery. At the end of the day, I am sharing my experience as the patient who underwent the procedure. The original issue I came in for was not corrected, I developed a permanently deformed toenail, and I now have scars. While I respect your years of experience, dismissing my review as lacking integrity because it does not reflect well on your practice feels unprofessional. My intent is not to injure your reputation but to honestly share my experience so that future patients can make fully informed decisions. __ I came here for surgery a few years back and left disappointed. The original problem wasn't fixed, my toes are in worse shape, and I was left with scars. On top of that, a toenail that was fine before surgery hasn't grown back normally since.

Choosing him was hands down the best decision I made. While other doctors suggested old-fashioned procedures that would leave me in a boot for at least 6 weeks, Dr. Sadrieh uses advanced techniques that had me back in regular shoes within just a few weeks. It made my recovery so much smoother and quicker than I ever expected! Dr. Sadrieh performed an incredible amount of shortening on my great toe, which was causing me a lot of pain due to its length. He didn't just fix the problem; he gave me the confidence to wear open-toe shoes for the first time in my life. My feet look amazing--truly a work of art! The entire team at Evo is exceptional--super professional, responsive, and they treat you like you're their only patient. I've never experienced such personalized care before. If you're looking for the best foot surgeon who delivers both function and beauty, Dr. Sadrieh is the one. Worth every bit of travel to California!
