Over the past year, Dr Joseph and I have become closely acquainted as he treated me for a bone spur (and beyond). No other doctor - not to mention his entire practice - has treated me with such care and genuine kindness in my 10+ years in LA. Dr Joseph went above and beyond to make me comfortable ahead of my surgery, giving me a direct line to him for any and all questions and coordinating a specific request for an anesthesiologist. I am finally without pain and very grateful for all the work he has done. If you need a podiatrist with top-tier care and bedside manner, look no further than Dr Joseph. read more

Doctor Joseph is some kind of a magician or foot whisperer - I'm sure or it. Cured my plantar fasciitis in 2018 and just recently had ligament repair surgery and it's such a relief to walk pain-free after more than a year of being afraid to get up from a sitting position and unable to do my favorite exercise - biking! I'm stronger and happier than ever and look no further if you need a podiatrist in SoCal. Plus I didn't have to ask anyone to sign my bandage - he did it for me! :-) read more

Dr Joseph was immediately able to diagnose my tendon rupture when others had yet to be able to figure out the issue. Made me super comfortable and the surgery was a success. Added humor and knew when to lighten the mood whenever I was nervous. Also just a great guy. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr Joseph. I went in for a consult for bunion surgery, and he quickly pinpointed the underlying problem, which was my unstable ankle (soccer injury, ten years ago). He said I would most likely need ankle surgery, and that I should go to PT (1x for insurance purposes) and get an MRI. I got the MRI and it came back 'normal' , but Dr Joseph said they got it wrong and he called whatever doctor/ technician assessed it, and that person then agreed. A tad unsettling but I thought maybe since it happened so long ago, the area isn't inflamed, and I'm under 5', so it's a small area too, maybe hard to see. I went to the PT appt and the person who assessed me there was immediately pushing on the same spot under my ankle bone, moving my foot side to side saying my foot shouldn't be able to bend this way just like Dr Joseph had. He said PT could help somewhat but I'd likely need surgery. I felt super reassured then. The surgery itself was pretty tame, just a half hour under, and I was done. I felt no pain after and I was even going to go into work two days following the surgery, that's until I woke up that third day and felt pain. I texted Dr Joseph to ask if it was normal, he called me back and said he would be in my area later that day, and could come by and take a look if I wanted. Um, amazing. I live alone about 30 mis away from his office and the idea of trying to maneuver myself into a car when I could barely stand/ walk with my crutches was so daunting. He came over that evening and took a look at it and changed the bandages, making a bit looser which felt instantly better. I was so grateful, and just blown away by how much he cares. I'm coming up on three weeks post surgery, my ankle feels a lot stronger and I'm able to walk around my apt with ease. I get the stitches out in a couple days and then it's goodbye, boot! That is, until I go back for the bunion surgery in the fall, but I know I'll be in good hands :) As someone who is very active, it was so important to find a great foot/ ankle surgeon, and it's such a relief to know I have. read more

Don't be fast talked into unnecessary surgical procedures, especially by podiatrist Dr. Joseph who touted his own surgical center in Santa Ana. I say unnecessary... with 1 X-ray, zero MRI he concluded I needed 1 possibly 2 surgeries for a broken 5th metatarsal bone in my foot. I got a second opinion from an Othropedic Surgeon thank god! ...and cancelled my surgery with Dr. Joseph. Crawl, hobble, walk, run if you can from Dr. Joseph. He has received very many good reviews but it was the negative reviews that mirrored my experience to the "T" that worried me. You see after seeing him and developing an uneasiness after the visit about the surgery that I agreed to schedule to have in 6 days, I realized he wasn't an orthopedic surgeon so I wanted to get an opinion form an orthopedic surgeon. Post visit I also decided to look up online reviews about Dr. Joseph. I was horrified to read the negative Yelp reviews and discovered my visit to him read EXACTLY like many of the negative reviews. The mile a minute talking - check. The unprofessionalism (yelling out my x-ray results on his way back from the xray room at the back of the doctor's office before he even re-enterd the exam room -check!! The bragging of his surgeries on YouTube- check! The constant pushing to surgery, carefully mentioning it was his own surgery center, and that he also had his own MRI center.-CHECK. Dismissive-check! That I was making a mountain out of a mole hill when I called him 2 days after the visit with questions and concerns about why he thought I needed surgery. Scare tactics-check! His response when I asked him if he was an orthopedic surgeon... "Go see an orthopedic surgeon but I'm gonna tell you they are only gonna slice open your foot." I'm gonna do much less invasive surgery. So I got a 2nd opnion from an Orthopedic Surgeon 2 days later only to discover my type of left foot fracture was common and.. get this --- commonly recommended as "non-operative" as natural healing and wrapping was the common treatement. Came to learn Cedar Sinai Orthopedic Center inherits his patients gone wrong. Get a second opnion with an orthopedic surgeon or orthopedic doctors at The Foot Clinic, and don't sign any surgery papers at Dr. Joseph's or you'll get stuck with the surgery down payment they will NOT return even if you cancel the surgery, UNLESS you cancel within 3 WHOLE DAYS prior to the surgery...and even good Luck. Pacific Oaks' owner/billing manager is most uncooperative. Then learning he was named and indicted in a criminial kick drug kick back scheme in Long Beach tipped me over the edge. June 2018. https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/part-national-healthcare-fraud-sweep-los-angeles-based-prosecutors-filed-16-cases The charged podiatrists, Domenic Signorelli, 51, of Irvine, and Robert Joseph, 51, of Huntington Beach, along with several other unnamed co-conspirator doctors, allegedly received kickbacks for "writing" the prescriptions. Once the prescriptions were filled, members of the conspiracy submitted fraudulent claims to federal, state and private insurers for the compounded drugs. June 2018. https://srtklaw.com/breaking-news-post/more-providers-charged-in-pacific-hospital-fraud-scheme-compounded-drugs-kickback-scheme/ The grand jury indictment, unsealed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, accuses podiatrists Dominic Signorelli of Irvine and Robert Joseph of Huntington Beach, along with attorney Irena Shut of Hidden Hills, of conspiring in a kickback scheme. The indictment charges that Drs. Signorelli and Joseph were paid kickbacks by TYY Consulting -- which allegedly made $250 million from the scheme -- for prescribing drugs from New Age Pharmaceuticals, Precise Compounding Pharmacy, Roxsan Pharmacy, and Concierge Compounding Pharmaceuticals. Good luck and get a second opinion when possible. read more

As an acute care nurse working on a step-down ICU unit, in the 5th highest-ranking Children's Hospital in the United States, you might think I didn't get here by sheer dumb luck. It's not the type of job you just show up for and hope "things" go okay. My FEET are very important to me and need to carry me very quickly to areas that are not so close to me......and in split seconds. I've had 2 surgeries done by Dr Joseph. One, I'm currently on leave right now for a double repair of two torn ligaments, and once done two years ago on my other foot of an insert of titanium joint in digit 1. I've had not one day of difficulty since. Yes, he's a fast talker, but b/c he's passionate.... not hurrying you. And, I agree, he did know my concerns before I said anything. I've tried conservative routes before and always wound up where I started....in extreme pain. I trust him. At work, I often ask the MDs to explain, or at least help me understand diagnostics as they're posted (x-rays, CTs, MRIs, etc). He did this with me w/o even asking. His follow-ups are easy and he's always on time. I can't forget a shout out to Yonica, the person in charge of keeping up with him. (a task that requires extreme organization). She deserves 5 huge stars herself. She's kind, compassionate, and has a super dry-funny sense of humor! Thanks, Yonica ( the name though not pronounced as it looks) I always get it wrong, and she never yells at me. read more

Hands down...of any doctor I've ever seen, this guy is the best. When I went in 4 years ago and couldn't get a procedure done -- he didn't give me any sh*t, or roll his eyes. I legit couldn't didn't have the time or the means then and he fully understood. When I showed back up 4 years later, ready to have this minor surgery, he was ready to go and got me in to have the procedure done within a week. This doctor could give a master class on bedside manor, he's so jovial you forget that you're in a doctors office. He seems to really enjoy his profession, he's really good at it and he's entertaining at the same time. photo below: When I woke up from the surgery, he had drawn a smiley face on the bandage. I had to keep that bandage on for a week and seeing that the doctor cared enough to leave a message made it less annoying. read more

I have never done a review for anyone, however I think I owe it to myself and to other patients to warn you about Dr. Robert Joseph. He is such a scatter brain, flip flop and rude doctor. I saw Dr. Joseph in May of 2021 for discoloration of my toe nail thinking that it would be a fungal infection. His diagnosis was that I DO NOT have a fungal infection and there is a bony overgrowth on my toe which he would be able to remove with a simple procedure called 'Subungual Exostosis'. He also assured me that my toe will look and feel normal after a few months with no further treatment. After waiting for a year I didn't notice any difference in my toe and when I went to see him again he told me that as a result of the bone overgrowth I also have fungal infection which should have been treated right after the procedure!!! Keep in mind that when I saw him first he claimed that there is no fungus infection and the procedure would cure the problem. Not only did he misdiagnose me but he also forgot to put me on anti fungus medication. Finally, after being on medication for 6 months and still not seeing any change in my toe nail, I contacted him again. He got mad at me and started being very rude and insulting. In conclusion, after a year and a half of having a procedure and being on fungus medication for 6 months (and paying unnecessary expenses) my toe nail is still the same. I have an appointment to see another doctor soon. read more

I saw Dr. Joseph when I had what I thought was a bunnion/callus on my right foot. It was painful to touch it on anything and when I went in thinking I was going to get it shaved off, Dr. Joseph informed me I had a bone spur. He was positive it was one, even before an XRay and he was absolutely right. I highly recommend his office and his guidance, in either the Santa Monica or Beverly Hills office. I had an easy surgery in Glendale as well where all his staff was super kind. His Santa Monica office overlooks the pier which is beautiful. His staff kindly offers me water and chats each time. They also offer free, validated parking! He would call me to check in post-surgery. Incredible bed side manner and hugely funny. He's got a show coming out because of his character which I'm excited to see. read more

I had been putting off bunion surgery for awhile due to what I thought would have a lengthy recovery time (and pain) . I thought this was a great time to have it done since I'm already at home. I went to see Dr Joseph and loved him immediately! Great personality and really knows his stuff. I scheduled a lapiplasty bunion procedure with him. I can not rave enough about the results! No pain at all and I'm up walking in a boot a week after surgery. And my foot looks amazing! If you need a podiatrist, I can't recommend Dr Joseph enough read more

Dr. Joseph is a very High skilled and kind podiatrist! Would highly recommend him.

Dr Joseph did my foot surgery a month ago and I can't be more happier! He's the Best! He did a fantastic job on my foot not to mention He's the most Bubbly, Happiest and Joyful person I ever meet in my Life! He always carry a smile on his face and I always have a great vibes with him. Super friendly as well. I love him & I truly recommend him, !!! read more

Dr Joseph. What can I say about Dr Joseph He is so full of life he has the most outgoing amazing personality , he is caring and makes you feel like you have known him forever. His smile is so contagious. I couldn't help but like him from the very start the moment he saw me in the office. Dr Joseph not only has the personality but he also has tremendous knowledge and knows what he is doing as a podiatrist. He is truly brilliant. If your needing a podiatrist I can't express enough that Dr Joseph and his team is who's hands you want your feet to be in. You won't regret becoming a patient of Dr Joseph. Everyone involved in my treatment was amazing. Thank you so much. read more

I visited Dr. Joseph when I was experiencing ankle pain that wasn't improving. He quickly identified that I was suffering from at least one ligament tear and a possible fracture, then set me up with an x-ray and MRI to fully identify the issue and come up with a treatment plan. The results confirmed that I had partially torn all three ligaments in my ankle. Dr. Joseph recommended that I try PRP injections first instead of jumping right into surgery (which would have a 5 week recovery time). The PRP injections were quick, pretty painless, and worked almost instantly! I am one-week post PRP and am already feeling much better/will be back to normal by next week! Not only did Dr. Joseph have a friendly and welcoming bedside manner, but he also saved me from needing surgery! The staff is also extremely warm and welcoming. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone with foot/ankle issues. read more

Dr. Joseph has done two operations on my left ankle. One to repair torn ligaments; one to mend a broken ankle. He's great. Always efficient and able to get me scheduled and back up and walking. He's got a pretty great sense of humor too. And that's always a plus. read more

Dr. Joseph is awesome! He was my second opinion for a foot injury that my first podiatrist had misdiagnosed. Dr. J correctly determined the true nature of the injury just from a physical examination, which was immediately confirmed by x-ray and MRI. He is a skilled doctor who pays close attention to his patients. He performed a quick and easy surgery on my anterior talofibral ligament to get me back on my feet. Recovery has been faster than I expected. I was walking without a boot 4 weeks after the surgery. My healing process is still ongoing, but Dr. J made me a custom orthotic to account for differences in leg length that were contributing to my problems - another factor to my injury that my first doctor failed to notice. Today I am mostly pain-free at 6 weeks post-op, after many months of frustrating chronic foot pain. He and his staff always promptly answered my questions and returned my calls. Highest recommendation for Dr. Joseph and his highly-competent and caring staff. read more

Dr Joseph is the best! He's, nice, funny and truly cares about his clients! He made me so comfortable and answered all my questions, I always look forward to our fun conversations! read more

I had surgery yesterday to repair my ankle, from 3 weeks ago when I first met him I knew I was in the best hands. He makes you calm and feel so safe and like nothing is a big deal and you almost forget you're even injured. The staff he surrounds himself with is also top notch. They care and you don't ever feel rushed! Today for my surgery he had great music playing and all the girls prepping me had me laughing so hard, what a way to go under the knife. I've had over 7 surgical procedures in my life and this was by far the BEST experience. Thank you Dr Joseph and your teams!!!! Ps, thanks for the smiley face ;) read more

Feet are essential part of living and when one (or both) are injured it can bring anxiety, stress and concern...Dr. J is the doctor to 'go to'! Always greeted with a smile and left, after surgery, with a smiley face on your bandages, or an 'I appreciate you!' after an appt his form of patient care goes beyond what is expected to a kindness and lightness that refreshes, that comforts! read more

I am the only woman over 40 who would rather get work done on her feet than her face. I don't want to be the old lady with hideous feet at the pedicure place. If you are like me, you've found the right doctor. I met Dr Joseph 10 years ago but chickened out on the surgery -- couldn't fathom the idea of 6 weeks or more of down time. I finally bit the bullet in February and was glad I waited to get my hammertoes straightened so they would fit better in my Jimmy Choo's (priorities!). Good I waited as the surgery is much easier now. No pins or screws etc. Word from the wise: Dr Joseph wastes no time for chit chat -- he's all about operating so have your questions ready -- it's like talking to roadrunner.. beep beep.. he's gone. I didn't realize I could be up and walking the day after surgery so I wasn't. A chance for me to be doted in for a change. Should have told my partner I couldn't do laundry or cook for a month as well. Anyway you can walk the next day. I missed that note. Lol. Ok to be barefoot in the house and wear the dreaded boot outside. By week 4 I got the stitches out and was in sneakers and Ugg's. By week 5 I was doing Pilates and yoga and hiking 4 miles. I can't operate chop sticks with my toes just yet or pick up the TV remote, but give it time and anything is possible. Still some sensitivity and a little restricted range of motion but every day is better. By summer I will be back in my heels! Can't wait to do the other foot and endless other functional (and/or cosmetic) foot procedures if he will let me... I am gonna have the sexiest feet when I'm 70. Now if only I could do a little lipo on my big toes. They're just a little too big. I need a toe reduction. Then I can start my foot modeling career read more

I waited 7 weeks before writing a Yelp review on a bunionectomy Dr. Robert Joseph performed in December because I wanted to first determine how well the result would be. Well, I can say I am very happy with the result and how he followed up with me after the procedure. I had minimal pain following the surgery. And when I had developed some stiffness in my big toe, he knew exactly how to resolve the issue. Great bedside manner and very personable too. read more

I had put off seeing a doctor for my ankle pain for months because: 1. I hoped it would naturally heal, and 2. I, like most people, was afraid of meeting a new doctor and being sold things I didn't need. As a salesperson myself, I can be a natural skeptic. After meeting with Dr. Joseph I could tell that he was a master of his craft and was greatly experienced in his business (of feet). His knowledge and genuine manner made me feel better about seeing a specialty doctor, and now that I'm 6 weeks post surgery, I'm so glad I went specifically to him. The most important piece of all this is he emanated compassion - from initial meeting to my post surgery visits and calls, his deep care and empathy for his patients and people very clearly showed. I'll likely be back for my second ankle before the summer. read more

Love Doctor Joseph Extremely talented and expert at his field. I Highly recommend him for all foot related matters and surgeries. read more

Dr Joseph is an amazing doctor! I had an infected toenail that had to be removed bc I was wearing the wrong size tennis shoes. His office took me in immediately. He numbed the area, removed my dead toenail, cleaned the infected area and gave me instructions on how to keep the wound clean. My toenail grew back fast, w/in 4 months! Woohoo! He moves quickly and professionally. And that's bc he's a very busy doctor, and good at what he does. Excellent care, wonderful staff, and beautiful office. Thank you Dr Joseph for your care. I appreciate it. You guys rock! read more

Dr. Joseph gave me good advice and listened to all of my concerns. I highly recommend him. He is a kind, caring, and compassionate doctor with a great bedside manner. read more

I highly recommend Dr J for any of your podiatrist needs. I was very hesitant to get the lapidus bunion surgery as it seemed very aggressive and had a longer recovery than most bunion surgeries. I'm so happy I decided to go w Dr J's suggestion. I'm 9 weeks post op today and have had a wonderful recovery so far. He was available for any questions I had 24/7. So glad I had this one and done surgery and that I won't have to worry about a bunion in the future. Trust Dr J and listen to his recommendations/directions he knows what he's talking about. read more

I first saw Dr Joseph in Santa Ana, when I was having issues with my feet. When he came into the room I told him what the problems I was having were. He then told me why i was having the issues and would need surgery. I already knew I need surgery and that's why I went to him. I was referred by a friend that said he is the best. He had me go get X-rays and a MRI to see how bad my foot was. When the results came back he was spot on to what was wrong. I had two surgeries within 3 weeks of seeing him and my foot feels great now. He's now in Rancho and I was able to do all my follow up care there. I would recommend him to my friends and family. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Joseph since about 2014. He has done a few necessary surgeries as well as many other issues that have come up with my feet over the years. Every result I have had has been completely perfect. I previously had struggled with some other doctors who were not resolving things in a way that left me healed. Dr. Joseph so far has been able not only to successfully resolve each issue, but also educates in better overall foot health. I will see no other podiatrist. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr Joseph. I saw him for a long 6 months, which never felt like it would end, but Dr Joseph was always a pleasure to see. He is kind, funny, personable, knowledgeable and makes you feel like your problem isn't a big deal and easy to fix. It's very comforting. I felt zero pain after surgery, even with stitches on the bottom of my foot. I highly recommend Dr Joseph and even though I am thankful to not have to go to the doctor anymore, I will definitely miss seeing him. Trust me - you are in good hands! read more

Dr Joseph by far the best podiatrist in the business (I've seen many). Caring, funny and straight to business. I would definitely recommend seeing him for any foot problems. read more

My almost 3 1/2yr old daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis just before her 1st birthday. The arthritis is in both knees and both ankles. We were equally worried when we thought how her walking and standing and jumping and simply being a toddler would evolve. Recently we noticed that the Arthritis was now effecting her hips and needed to seek out toddler size shoe inserts to help elevate the strain in her joints and give her steady balance. Dr. Joseph was recommended and we couldn't be happier! With her joint flair ups under control, and the shoe inserts helping with the even balance needed, she can go much longer throughout the day running, jumping, and being a toddler! #insertsforallshoes THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! read more

Dr. J is a miracle worker. He's the best podiatrist in California, and possibly beyond CA. It's that simple. For 17 years, I struggled with plantar fasciitis. Walking, tennis, running, surfing, biking ... everything hurt or inflamed my plantar fasciitis. A car accident, which tore my ankle ligament and partially tore my achilles, only made matters worse. The accident left me unable to do anything of the above activity. Dr. J conducted an amazing ankle ligament reconstruction, which re-enabled my ability to perform strenuous activities. That in and of itself was a miracle. However, the plantar fasciitis that plagued me for 17 years returned worse than ever as I started to regain mobility from the ligament reconstruction and achilles partial tear. So pleased following my ligament reconstruction surgery, I went to Dr. J again with plantar fasciitis pain, heel pain, and achilles pain. Within less than a minute, yes, less than a minute, Dr. J diagnosed my condition and said "It's easy, you need a plantar fascia release and PRP injection." He knew right away what my issue was. Within three days, he had me in surgery for a minimally invasive Platelet-Rich Plasma injection and plantar fascia release. WITHIN ONE WEEK, MY 17 YEARS OF PAIN WAS GONE. Within just one week, I am able to walk barefoot with no pain. I am able to do squats and weighted lunges with no pain. I am able to run with no pain. I am able to surf with no pain. Dr. J's innovative, minimally invasive plantar fasciitis release with PRP injection procedure is an absolute miracle. I cannot believe what it feels like to walk with no pain in my plantar, heel, and achilles. If you have plantar fascia pain, suffer no longer, go to Dr. J immediately. Words cannot express how much I recommend Dr. J. He is a true expert in his craft. He is a mensch in every sense of the word. He is passionate about his job. He is innovative with his procedures. He runs an organized practice. For example, in the surgery center, I overheard Dr. J talking with another patient also in awe of his work and all he had to say in response was "I love what I do." After having had two magical surgeries with Dr. J, I can say unequivocally, do not think twice about going to see him. Hands down the best, most life-changing podiatrist in California. read more

WHOA! DR. JOSEPH DID AN AMAZING JOB! Dr. Joseph and his knowledgeable assistant Jonaca are a terrific team! Over about an eight month period of clearing our property in the High Sierras near Yosemite for fire safety, I sustained major damage to both feet. It was well worth traveling the distance to his Beverly Hills office just to take advantage of his noted talent & fun bedside manor. He performed two procedures right in his office in Beverly Hills which had remarkable results for my damaged plantar fascia, including custom orthotics. So caring & considerate of the costs associated with the healing procedures. I went from difficulty to walk to being almost pain free within a month. Can't say enough about the experience! Thank you again Dr. Joseph and Jonaca. Andrew Mandolene. read more

I have to give Dr. Joseph kudos. I had fractured my right fibula as well as rolling my right ankle 90 degrees, tearing ligaments and such over 10 years ago. I've been having trouble walking since then. It wasn't until Dr. Joseph aggressive action that I found out that my ligaments never reattached themselves to my foot joint. He recommended a procedure which has made walking pain free now. I didn't think anything could be done to my right ankle foot. And he is a super nice guy as well. Very personable. read more

Highly recommend Dr.Robert Joseph very outgoing and straight to the point. Best doctor in Southern California for sure.

I've had 3 operations by Dr. Joseph. He repaired my ankle tendon, and removed a neuroma from each foot. He is caring and knowledgeable. He explained what needed to be done and the operations went flawless. I would visit him for weekly check ins at the Costa Mesa office. Audrey, his assistance worked with my Insurance to make sure everything was handled for me. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Joseph. If you are looking through reviews in search of a good Podiatrist/Surgeon, I recommend him without hesitation. Jeannine P. Costa Mesa. read more

This man has helped me for years! He is the best. Love his work and his personality. Best Podiatrist

If you're looking for some showmanship to go along with your foot issues, then this is the place for you. However, as other reviews stated, Dr Joseph is VERY quick to prescribe surgery, he talks a mile a minute and often shouts things down the hallway to other people (or to you), and frequently refers to his very high Yelp and ZocDoc ratings. I was a little taken aback by the whole process, because yes, he does have such high ratings. At almost every visit, I found myself waiting for at least an hour or more (one time almost 3 hours in total) between the waiting room and the exam room before I saw any glimpse of the doctor. I had a recurring ingrown toenail that was a little infected, and during my first visit, the staff took an x-ray of the toe, and then I went back to the room to wait. Suddenly I heard the doctor shouting down the hall for me to come and take a look at the images on a computer sitting in the hallway (pretty sure the whole office could hear). He had determined that I would need surgery almost immediately to clear the infected tissue or I could risk losing my toe. I was in a lot of pain from the toenail and basically just wanted it taken care of as quickly as possible, so I went along with it. I showed up at the surgery suite at the crack of dawn, as instructed and then waited around for a few hours before he showed up. Then the "surgery" was over and done with so fast, that my husband was confused if anything actually happened. He claimed the infection wasn't as bad as he thought from the x-ray, so he just took care of the ingrown toenail (rendering the surgical setup completely unnecessary). I went for a follow up about a week later to get the bandages changed. I saw the doctor for literally a few seconds and he said to schedule a follow up in a month, and then someone else came in and said I don't need another bandage, as it looked fully healed. That was enough for me, and I decided not to return. Overall, it was a pretty epic waste of time and money, unfortunately. read more
