I came in last February, after finding Dr. Joseph on Yelp. I wanted to make sure I found the best doctor, and I saw that he is the highest rated podiatrist in all of West LA, with decades of experience. I had run a marathon a few months back and my big toenail stopped growing. By just looking at it, he knew that it was a bone spur. Within weeks I had surgery, and I was back on my feet the next day. The process was smooth and seamless. Dr Joseph and his assistant, Joshua, went above and beyond to make sure I was fully taken care of throughout the entire process. At my follow-up, Dr. Joseph noticed my ankle was wobbly and suggest if we take a closer look. The MRI revealed three torn ligaments, four stretched ligaments, a partially torn Achilles, two bursitises, and inflammation throughout the ankle. I knew my ankle had gone through some wear and tear after years of running cross country and track, but I had no idea it was so bad. Dr Joseph treated everything. I spent one week off my foot, the next in a boot, and was running again within six weeks. He worked with my schedule, was reachable by phone throughout, and took time to help me understand everything as it came up. I'm really grateful for Dr Joseph for fixing my ankle and toe. I want to be able to run marathons until I'm 60 years old, and after the work Dr. Joseph did, I can actually see that being a reality someday. I recommend him without reservation to anyone looking for an amazing podiatrist. read more

Dr Joseph He's incredibly professional and makes me feel at ease whenever I visit his office. He's already taken care of both of my ankles twice. My best friend, who also had ankle surgeries, recommended him to me. I had torn ligaments in both ankles, and PRP was the treatment for one, but the other required surgery. His office scheduled my pre-operative appointment and accommodated my work schedule for the surgery. He's a busy doctor, but he always makes time to check in and ensure everything is going well, or if I need anything. From the moment I met Dr. Joseph, I knew I was in good hands. He also introduced me to the entire Pacific Oaks Medical Group and other specialists in the office to address my other needs. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph for any foot issues. read more

Robert Joseph, DPM - Best podiatrist ever - Podiatrists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

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. read more

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! read more

Dr. Joseph is one of the best doctors I've ever had. He repaired my foot through surgery after going through great lengths and trying everything so we could avoid it.

I had bunion repair surgery done by Dr Joseph and my foot has never been the same. I regret I ever saw this doctor. My toes are still numb and I cannot even move my big toe. I have also developed hammer toes. Be very careful and seek other opinions. read more

Dr. Joseph has a wonderful personality. He and his staff make me feel at ease and welcome each time I visited their office. I had athlete's foot and pain on my foot for over 8 months which I have consulted with my primary care for which I was prescribe a cream to apply 2x day and nothing for the foot pain. As the months past & I didn't see any improvement, I decided to take action and see a podiatrist. I found Dr Joseph on my insurance website and booked an appointment. On our first meeting, he did a thorough evaluation of my foot, recommended test & immediately addressed my athlete's foot and my plantar pain. After a week of medication, I saw dramatic improvements on the skin on my foot and toenails. When the MRI results came back, as it turns out I had a foot fracture. He provided details, treatment alternatives, realistic recovery times, etc. which made me feel confident with my decision. I opted to have the PRP injection and while the cost was out of pocket, I am happy with the results, the after care provided and the professionalism he has shown. Definitely will recommend him to my work colleagues who are experiencing similar issues. read more

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== read more

Dr. Joseph is fantastic. He is caring, compassionate, personable, funny, and a top notch surgeon. He fixed my right ankle a few years back and just recently fixed my left ankle after tearing ligaments. I felt confident he would do an excellent job based on the results of my first surgery. I'm recovering now and he texts me almost every day to check how I'm doing. He is the best. I highly recommend him to anyone who is having ankle issues. He will figure out what is wrong and fix it. He doesn't jump right to surgery but tries other techniques first like PRP and orthodics. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Listen, I was referred to Dr. Joseph by one of my colleagues at work and she had surgery with him and it was a success in being that I have been to three doctors. I was at my wits end .I was terrified when I went to the office after I made my appointment.Parking was easy and rt in front .The office was in pristine condition. VERY CLEAN AND WELCOMING .Dr. Joseph took a look at my foot and assessed the issue. (Heel Spur and plantar fasciitis) HE PUT MY MIND AT EASE... every other doctor just prescribe me pain medicine without any treatment, but Dr. Joseph Really SAVED ME!!! Plus had me laughing so hard that he had given me a shot in my foot , but I couldn't believe I didn't even feel the shot because he was not only gentle but talked me through it to the point where I didn't even know I had got it !!! Dr. Joseph has got to be the most PROFESSIONAL BUT honestly the coolest and funniest Dr. I've ever been to see yet!!!! He took great care of me and is seriously was the most compassionate caring doctor I've ever seen!!! (Because most just want your money lol) Dr.Joseph is top notch when it comes to podiatry, I would recommend Him to anyone who is having foot problems because he is definitely the man to solve it. I'll be back in a few months to get the next procedure done!! I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it!!! read more

Robert Joseph, DPM - After swelling went down - Podiatrists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

If you are reading this - RUN. I sought treatment from Dr. Joseph for a foot injury sustained while in a workout class over a month ago. Dr. Joseph did a really cursory evaluation of my foot and didn't palpate or try to identify the location or severity of my pain. He ordered an MRI and XRay while telling me that I could continue doing all my normal activities (running, hiking, etc) as long as I bought and wore a proprietary ankle brace and CBD oil from his own personal website. I was planning to go on a 3 week trip to Europe including a weeklong trek in the Scottish highlands this month so wanted to believe what he said was true. But when I left the practice something about the entire experience didn't sit right with me. Of course I did buy the ankle brace and it did nothing for me - except make my problem worse. Conveniently there's also no way to return or refund it. How can an ankle brace possibly treat an MTP joint injury? My experience also echoes others on here - him commenting on my appearance when first meeting him, bragging about proprietary surgery techniques and social media following, fitting me for expensive custom insoles before getting an accurate diagnosis of my issue, etc. I was also skeptical of the reason for getting images if I was indeed fine. Thank god I listened to my gut and got a second opinion. The new doctor diagnosed me with turf toe and the treatment for that is - rest and immobilizing the foot in a boot. A BOOT. Not "keep doing all physical activity like you're not injured." Dr. Joseph's guidance made my injury worse and prolonged my ability to get proper care and treatment. His office never called with the results of my imaging. Classically, they did follow up about the insoles. His advice is negligent at best and harmful at worst. For the love of god go see another doctor or at least seek a second opinion if you've ever seen Dr. Joseph. Do not let this man mess up your feet. read more

9/14 update. Turns out that the issue wasn't just a piece of glass, but plantar wart virus was introduced through the hole in my foot. To the doc's credit, he did say it was possible. But the fact that it took 4 months since the surgery to get back the biopsy to confirm it is crazy. Not all his fault, but I didn't know to advocate for this for myself, and he should have. However, he has been taking good care of me since and I believe I'm on the mend. It's been a way too long and painful journey, but I'm just happy to be on the downside of trip. read more

Robert Joseph, DPM - Ice and levitation after my amazing surgery by doctor Robert Joseph, On my 3rd day with MINIMAL PAIN ‼ - Podiatrists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Joseph (Bobby) is simply amazing. I went to see him after consulting with another friend, a surgeon, who had recently had some work done by Dr, Joseph. After two extremely tiring hikes and climbs in the Eastern Sierra I was experiencing pain in my right hip and foot. I needed relief! Within 5 minutes of being introduced and having what I thought seemed like a cursory look, Dr. Joseph diagnosed me with a completely unsupported left ankle (the opposite side!). He explained that the pain on my right was because that side had been doing all the work and my left ankle and foot were just along for the ride. I was skeptical because the only time I recalled having an issue that might have caused me to rupture all the ligaments was when I blew my calf muscle nine years prior! Everyone was so focused on repairing the calf that they didn't bother to look at my ankle. So everything healed, but my ankle was no longer supported. Dr. Joseph explained that I was putting my achilles under stress without the other support and if I blew that it would be a 6-9 month recovery. So we scheduled surgery ASAP. His minimal incision technique is a game changer. I should also say that Dr. Joseph's OR crew were fantastic. A happy, professional group that clearly cared about me and what they were there to manage or assist with. I am now 6 weeks post-op and feeling really good. While I am not fully healed, I am not in any pain and am able to get on with my life without the need for a boot or anything except comfortable, stable shoes. While I never realized that I was unstable before the surgery, I am now very aware of my new stability in that ankle. Oh, and my right side is now perfectly happy, strong, flexible and pain free. read more

If there was a way of giving NO star I would. After a complete nightmare to set up an appointment where I am bouncing around between texts and phone calls I am giving the worst attitude in the patient room by a woman who doesn't seem to know how to read a name. Instead of asking for Michel which is my name and is in my file, she calls for Michael. Since no Michael was responding I asked if maybe she was actually looking for Michel. After she called my last name, it was in fact me she was looking for!! When I pointed out to her that my name was in fact Michel, I get the "up and down" and over the shoulder sweep as if she was annoyed.. Excuse me for having a european name! As if that was not enough, I get the "bait and switch" trick where after having been told that this office does take Blue of California, I am given a 775.00 Bill for the consultation and the soles I needed at the exit, soles that by the way I paid for in full without even trying first. In the middle of the consultation I am being told by Doctor Joseph himself that he has a bone to pick with my insurance company which he accuses of not paying him for certain services. That's not what I heard upon doing a bit of additional research. At this point it has been almost a week since I asked for the super bill and still waiting around for it. These people said they would submit the paperwork to the insurance company directly but considering what a circus this place is I would rather handle that myself. Point of the matter is, if you are going to charge the full amount to your patients after asking them for their proof of insurance, you inform the patient ahead of time, not after the service has been rendered. Shady practice, and a complete nightmare in there. At this point I am very seriously considering filing a complaint for the medical board against this individual. read more

Dr Joseph did a fabulous job stabilizing my ankle. Best doctor experience I've ever had.

Dr. Joseph is truly the man, the myth, the legend. I came into the office thinking I was just going to get a regular consultation, but instead he really leveled with me about life, health, humor, and ultimately, the reason why I was suffering from constant foot calluses (spoiler alert: leg-length discrepancy). His staff seem very happy to be there and were very attentive and informative. Don't change, Dr. Joseph! read more

Dr. J is a great doctor and even better person. I first heard about him through a referral of one of my co-worker's friends who said he did a great job on his injured toe. I checked out the reviews on Yelp and thought I'd give him a shot. When I visited his office for an achilles rupture that occurred during a weekend pick-up basketball game, he instantly knew that I already had an ankle sprain. At first, I thought he had some hidden cameras but instantly knew he was just that good at his job. He explained to me that the previous instability of a rolled ankle caused my achilles tendon to overcompensate and the rest was just a ticking time bomb. Afterwards, he immediately recommended all the tools that I would need for my surgery - a boot, knee scooter, and shower sleeve. He was also a major advocate for my health by calling around to get my MRI, review appointment, and pre-op scheduled within just 2 days of each other. While I unfortunately could not have my surgery done by his team, due to my insurance being out of network, he STILL went out of his way to find me someone who was. This is top notch service! I also want to give a major shout out to his assistant Johnica. She was very helpful and willing to pick up the phone on her day off just to ensure we had the care that we needed. No fuss, no hard feelings - just good energy and an even better experience. I'd 100% recommend. God bless, Q read more

Robert Joseph, DPM - Me and Chloe - Podiatrists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Joseph is a one-of-a-kind doctor who truly cares for his patients. I sustained an ankle injury while running and fully ruptured two ligaments. Despite being very nervous about the road ahead, Dr. Joseph immediately put me at ease and reassured that he would take great care of me. In the weeks leading up to the surgery, Dr. Joseph went out of his way to ensure that I received the best care at an affordable price. To make sure that the cost of my surgery was affordable, Dr. Joseph worked with my insurance to find out my deductible and was very flexible with his plans, opting to schedule my procedure at an out-of-network surgical center so that I would avoid a more expensive cost. Dr. Joseph was also available for any questions that I had via text message and even hopped on a call to talk my parents about the procedure and field any questions with my insurance. On the day of surgery, Dr. Joseph put me at ease and made sure to stay with me as I was receiving anesthesia. Following the surgery, he checked in with me the evening after my procedure and checked in the few days after to see how I was feeling. I'm so grateful to have Dr. Joseph as my surgeon and can't say enough good things about him! read more

I've been dealing with feet pain for over 8 years, and after seeing 4 podiatrists who only offered temporary solutions like cortisone shots and pain meds, I was fed up. Then I met Dr. Robert Joseph at my gym. He noticed my pain and limping, we agreed to have me go in to his office and right away he could tell it was my left ankle that was the worse. It was confirmed with an MRI and diagnosed me with torn ligaments. He could not understand after all these years how I was even walking and dealt with the pain. I had a full repair of my left ankle with an anchor and also we did some PRP for the top of my left foot for the arthritis pain. I am 9 days post-op in a boot and walking with one crutch! Dr. Joseph truly cares about his patients and I highly recommend him. Also his staff and all the support people he hires to work in surgery are top notch. He selects the best nurses and techs to support him in his surgeries. You will always be in good hands with Dr. Joseph. I highly recommend. read more

Dr Joseph is a miracle worker, he saved me from a complete tear of my Achilles, and repaired torn ligaments in my ankle. He is an excellent Dr, his staff at his office in Beverly Hills is second to none, Perla and Lou are very helpful. Dr Joseph's knowledge is outstanding, he was able to diagnose me right away, even before my MRI. I have been to many Dr's the past few years, and Dr Joseph is incredible how he feels your injury with his hands and determines what needs to be done. It's no wonder why he wins the top podiatrist in California award year after year. I highly recommend him. And unlike most Dr's he is very kind and compassionate and genuinely cares about his patients. You won't be treated like a number here at all. Best Dr in Beverly Hills par none!!! read more

10 Stars!!! My father has been suffering with spinal imbalance for the past 5 years from his unstable ankle(left foot) and limb length discrepancy and it tears me to see him in such pain. We took him to multiple hospitals/private surgeons to get it checked out and none of them had the same level of positive energy and care as Dr. Joseph. When we walked into the office for the first time we were treated with high respect and care as if we were family. Dr. Joseph would check up not only on my father with frequent phone calls but me personally since my mental health issue has not been good ever since my fathers injury. 2 months after surgery my father never complained about his back ever since, and I could see his old smile has rolled back into his life. I can not thank Dr. Joseph enough and I would highly recommend him to anyone, everywhere in California if you are looking for someone that actually cares for their patients with high energy and a sense of duty to help recover their patients. Looking at some of the bad reviews seems deceitful and mendacious compared to my many visits with my Dad to this Doctor. I whole heartedly believe that the people who left 1 and 2 stars may not be telling the whole truth. In my personal experience this was one of the most memorable doctors that I have experienced. I cannot thank you enough Dr. J. Thank you for everything. read more

The experience I had with Dr. Joseph was so bad that I wish a 0 star option was available. First, he commented on "how pretty" I was while I was walking down the hall which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. And it was just flat out odd because it's COVID times and I had a mask covering half my face. Secondly, he "assessed" that I would need surgery within 5 minutes of me being in the exam room. With no copy of my prior X-rays and no MRI. When I asked "really? How can you tell I need surgery without a MRI?" he went on to brag about his "amazing" diagnostic skills. And then launched in to how he has hundreds of thousands of followers on his social media accounts where I could see his surgeries and successes. Thirdly, Dr. Joseph spoke about a million miles a minute, barely allowed me to speak or ask questions, and had me in and out of the room in probably less than 15 minutes total. At NO point did he ask me about my prior medical history or risks for potential surgery. Lastly, as I was leaving he yelled down the hall "don't worry you're in good hands and will have a lot of fun with me!" Fun?!! Not really something I'm looking for in a potential surgeon!!! Bottom line: steer clear if you really want someone who takes the time to listen to their patients and not rush, who doesn't jump to "you need surgery" with NO MRI, and who doesn't comment on his patients looks. read more
