Without reservation, Dr. Cook is one of the most thoughtful, smart, pleasant, & efficient doctors I have encountered. I'm 60 -- I have seen a few docs!!! Could he please move over into every aspect of medicine so everyone can experience his kindness & knowledge!? He's terrific -- so thankful I found his practice. He has a very calming demeanor and he really knows how to assess a patient's worries & needs. He addressed several concerns of mine & I'm so encouraged by my progress since I started going to Alamitos-Seal Beach Podiatry. They even have a foot Xray machine in the facility so you don't have to go to a lab or hospital to get a look inside your foot. Dr. Cook did mine & immediately saw some issues. I was finally able to see first hand why this constant pain was occurring. Beyond helpful. His staff are also professional and quick with whatever they're doing. They are friendly & make each client feel welcome. Thank you to the staff at Alamitos-Seal Beach Podiatry & the awesome Dr. Cook!! read more

Where my husband and I go for all our Podiatry needs. State of the art. Dr Allen is the best! Friendly staff. Convenient location. Free parking. Your feet will thank you. read more

The diagnosis and treatment from Dr. Allen was excellent. The injury was only 3 hours old and the front office

Dr. Allen treated my mother's foot after weeks of pain that made it difficult for her to walk. In addition to being attentive and taking his time to answer my mother's questions or concerns, he made a quick but thorough diagnosis that resulted in treatment in the form of an injection to the affected area. She started feeling better the next day and months later has still not had any problems walking on the foot that received treatment. The staff at the Seal Beach location were very polite and accommodating as well. A very positive experience. Thank you! read more

Picked this office out of the three I visited for a bunion procedure and also I was referred here by a good friend of mine. Dr. Izadi and her staff were very comforting and detailed on how the procedure would go step by step. Assured me that it would be an hour and half and I would be able to walk out of there same day. Procedure went so smooth that it was the best sleep I've had in years! Lol! They were ahead of schedule and it was over in 60 mins. Like promised I walked out of there 30 mins after I came out. Hitched a ride home because they recommended you to be picked up. Week later the stitches came out which I was really really surprised that it was that soon. I was able to shower like normal and had a follow up appointment every 2-3 weeks. I had some pain that was normal and was in shoes 2 months later. 3 months in and I am heading back to work. I recommend this place 100% if you're thinking of any foot related procedures, they will show you all the options available and let you decide for yourself. Thank you Los Alamitos Office! read more

Dr Azadi is an extremely talented podiatrist with a wealth of knowledge as well as a very gentle touch. Highly recommend her for her clinical skills---Robert C. Berman D.D.S. read more

I had a serious problem and they got me in immediately. Wonderful, friendly staff. Dr. Izadi is so kind and listens! Very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this practice. read more

Dr Allen did the surgery and the recovery was as Dr Allen told me pre-surgery. The follow up attention to me was more than I had expected. He has my complete faith for any future needs. The staff is very competent too. read more

Dr. Izadi was amazing with my very nervous teen who had two infected ingrown toenails. Nice building, nice and responsive staff, clean environment. I highly recommend this practice and doctor. Two thumbs, uh, large toes, up! read more

Great caring service. Very helpful and informative to help my issues. I highly recommend them for anyone with foot issues and pain.

Dr. Allen has been one of the most patient and competent doctors I've been treated by. He was empathetic and was able to figure out my diagnosis quickly. He is clearly very smart and knew what tests to order and get to the root of the problem in an efficient way. He treated me for a few months and was thorough at each visit. I would give Dr. Allen the highest recommendation to anyone needing a Podiatrist in Seal Beach area. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Richie for years for my occasional plugged sweat gland in the sole of the foot. Now with plantar fasciitis, since Dr. Richie is retired I am seeing Dr. Graham. He's perfectly warm and competent. Staff is friendly and helpful. My orthotics are working great. Would definitely recommend to a friend! read more

I use to see Dr Ritchie years ago. Loved his office. Hurt my foot Called realizing Dr.Ritchie retired. Got an immediate opening with Dr.Cook. Got X-rayed chipped a bone (5th metatarsal) told me to wear regid shoes,mentioned they often put a boot on patients come back in a month. Would need surgery if it didn't heal. Explained I'm a hairdresser. No treatment plan. After a couple weeks I was really hurting went to another podiatrist, he couldn't believe I wasn't put in a boot and now my 4th metatarsal is fractured! I never write reviews but be careful!! read more

I'm posting this only because I wish that no more people will experience the same over all bad treatment I got. . I mean this guy, because he was too cheap to actual seal the wound he had created, as now left me with terrible imbalance & pain. Good luck f----! read more

Dr. Graham, his nurse and the staff were very friendly, professional and on time. The reception area and examination rooms are spotless and cheerful. The procedure was as expected and the after care information was complete and accurate. Dr. Ritchie has retired and is no longer practicing. Dr. Graham is young, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend giving this "new" practice a try. read more

I came to Seal Beach/Alamitos Podiatry on referral from an acquaintance after getting little help from other doctors. Dr. Allen is so patient, kind and professional. He is the first doctor to offer alternative treatments for plantar fasciitis that I'd been trying to heal for nearly a year. He re-fit my orthotics, went over proper shoe fit (no other doctor even mentioned the heel to toe shoe height), and I started EPAT therapy and laser treatment on my other foot. I have at least an 80% improvement so far and am still healing. Dr. Allen is very knowledgeable. He did not exaggerate effectiveness of the treatment. I'm very happy with my progress so far. Just being able to stand up without pain is a huge relief. In addition, I find the office staff to be quite personable and professional. The office is clean and I never waited more than 5 minutes for my scheduled appointment. Very satisfied. Highly recommend!! read more

I went into see Dr. Jeremy Cook and I had never been to a Podiatrist before. I had some symptoms that I felt needed addressing and he was very professional, and answered a lot of questions for me. I know that Dr. Ritchie recently retired and he was going to leave the practice with confident doctors that could continue the legacy he has provided in our beloved Seal Beach. I highly recommend Dr. Cook. He was very sympathetic, professional, thorough, and he listens to his patients. read more

I am so lucky that a friend referred me to this practice. Dr. Allen is very helpful, compassionate, knowledgeable, and up to date. I really like how he takes the time to explain my medical conditions (Morton's neuroma, osteoarthritis )and treatment options. I recently had an MRI for my feet and he spent at least 15 to 20 minutes explaining it to me. He also looked at my MRI results for my lower back which may be causing some of my feet issues. He never rushes you, he wants to you to know as much as possible, and he always gives me many options. also if you call with a question and it can be answered over the phone, he will return your call. I'm fortunate that he does that. Most doctors don't seem to have the time. He really wants to help you. He noticed my running shoes were getting worn out last December and that was causing a flareup. With the change in shoes and steroid treatments I can actually teach while standing . I highly recommend Dr. Allen and this practice. read more

I have had only the best experiences at SB Podiatry! Dr. Richie & his staff are professional & very caring. I had been to other podiatrists before I found Dr. Richie & he is simply the best. I've suffered from plantar fascilitis for a decade & I was always limping & in pain despite cortisone & PT. I've had amazing results with EPAT Shockwave Therapy. It cost $300 for 3 weekly treatments. The effects weren't immediate, but it was money well spent. I no longer have a limp or pain unless I run. & after a year, I just made appointments for another round in the hopes that I will be 100% & run & do calisthenics like I used to. Today I also learned from Dr. Richie that EPAT is very effective for tennis elbow too, so I am researching orthopedists who offer that treatment & anticipating happy results. I had mentioned my results from EPAT to my orthopedist & she NEVER said it can be used for elbows. I was about to pay $1000 for PRP even though it doesn't work for everybody & I don't like needles. Thank you so very much Dr. Richie! read more

The staff here is rude. They also don't know how to properly manage the doctors time, so be ready to wait when you show up for your appointment. read more

I had a surgery by Dr. David Gramham 02-07-2018 And my foot still swollen and I still have pain my worst experience if I would know that it was gonna take this long I wouldn't never had the surgery. If someone had the same problem please let me know read more

I used to go here for years under Dr. Doug Ritchie. He was great - Good staff. A great experience. Went in the other day, Dr. Ritchie is retired. New team is pretty much not interested in Customer Service. Got fitted for new orthotics. Went back got them, they seem awfully flat. Then was asked to come back on a Friday at 9:30 to have them checked. Waited 40 minutes after my appointment time to see the Doc. Had to leave as I was supposed to be somewhere else at 11 am. Never got a call to reschedule.. no word from them at all... no I'm sorry or we were busy or anything. Very disappointing to say the least. Don't think I will ever go back. read more

This Podiatry Group is FANTASTIC! I have been seen at both locations for almost a year now, even before COVID. I started with Dr. Graham, and he was great. Now I see Dr. Izadi, and she is amazing. She takes the time to talk to her patients and isn't just focused on the treatment alone. The Nurses and Staff in the office are friendly yet professional, as well. The office is always clean and I barely wait at all to be seen. I have been receiving the Shock Wave treatments for my left foot with Plantar Fasciitis for a while now. I have had 9 treatments and have completely eliminated my heel pain. I highly recommend this treatment, this office, and Dr. Izadi. read more

Dr. Izadi is amazing! Terrible foot pain for months. She casted me for custom orthotics and taped my foot to relieve pain. I can say I am a believer in orthotics now. They work! The staff is very very friendly and the other doctors are awesome! Super knowledgeable medical office!! Highly recommend. read more

Saw Dr. Richie several years ago (and just now getting around to writing the review). Went in for a bone spur on my foot and plantar warts. The lobby was comfortable to wait in, but felt unfriendly when you signed in because either no one was there or there was a glass separating the patients and the receptionist. Once I saw the doctor, he dismissed my bone spur to simply having "bony feet". After several visits and cortisone shots later, the situation was getting worse and he recommended surgery. It was so swollen and painful, there were times I couldn't walk, not to mention wear shoes. The idea of surgery was scary so I sought a second opinion. The second doctor told me that bone spurs were caused by a lack of calcium in my diet and to either eat more or supplement. I was happy to see that the swelling and pain in my foot went down by 50% within 24hrs of talking calcium supplements. It has been about 4 years and still pain free. Would never recommend this guy to any one! read more

While I think Dr. Richie is amazing and does wonderful work this review is specific to the office staff. One person calls yesterday to tell me my sons inserts are ready. They explain that he needs to be with me. I explain its not possible as he is in school in the hours they have available, she agrees that I can bring his shoes and they will fit without him present. I make the drive from Anaheim to seal beach sit in waiting room 30 min and am told by the twit behind the counter that the gal who called me was wrong and I can't get the inserts I have already payed for. No apologies no empathy just annoying and rude! Once I get the inserts I am done with this super unorganized place. read more

After complaining that I shouldn't have to come in just to give you simple "positive or negative" test results and posting a bad review here, a doc called and gave me my results over the phone. I'm glad they revisited their policy because it really felt like they just wanted me to come in again so they could bill my insurance. read more

Worst experience ever with Dr. Ritchie. I fell down at work and broke my foot and sprained my ankle. I also developed some soft tissue problems as a result of the injury. I was referred to Dr. Ritchie and was told he was "the best". I wanted to come in at the end of December, and Dr. Ritchie was on vacation. They squeezed me in with one of his partners. She was great. I then got approved from workers comp, and the authorization was to see Dr. Ritchie specifically. I spoke to his staff, and they said that based on the fact that I am a marathon runner and Dr. Ritchie was recommended to me, they recommended I switch from the partner to Dr. Ritchie. I was looking forward to the visit as I was hoping to finally address my issues. When I got there, he was rude to me, he said he wouldn't see me because I had started with his partner. He did promise, though, to submit a request for dress orthotics to my insurance. I followed up in 2-3 weeks...no request was submitted. The staff said they would check with the doctor. I followed up again in another 2-3 weeks...still nothing submitted. They asked the doctor, and he said he wouldn't request the orthotics because they had nothing to do with my injury. I was so looking forward to my initial visit with him, as I thought he would get to the root of my foot problem. Instead, he rudely walked out of the exam room, refused to see me, promised to submit a request to my insurance which he never did, and left me in tears in his exam room (I never cry, but this had me in tears being treated like that by a doctor). The staff talked to me when they realized how upset I was. Now 2 months later...no orthotics, going back on his word about submitting a request for them and the staff could care less about my complaints. DON'T GO THERE!!! read more

I'm shocked to read some of the reviews as I have had nothing but positive experiences with Dr Richie and the his staff. I first went to him 2 years ago for planter's fascistic and new orthotics. His orthotics were far better then my previous ones. He did a great job of accessing my foot, gave me a cortisone shot to get my foot on the mend and taped my foot. I just returned after 2 years as I had a flair up and wanted sport orthotics. I always enjoy seeing Dr Richie as he's very pleasant and the staff is awesome. I left my previous Dr as I always had to wait over an hour to get in a room. The staff here is very efficient and friendly. read more

I am a long-time runner and came to Dr. R. after debilitating neuromas in both feet. Following an orthotic tweak and several rounds of cortisone injections, I am 100% pain free several years later. I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome. And, office staff is excellent in both the Los Alamitos & Seal Beach offices. Was very disappointed to learn Dr. R. is retiring from clinical practice... read more

Continuing with my theme of my reviewing podiatrists, this place was fantastic. Excellent communication with the doctor, went straight to the foot of the matter, friendly staff--even the other patients in the waiting room were nice. If you're looking for a good podiatry clinic in Long Beach, you have found it. read more

Dr. Richie made inserts for me for planter's fascistic which were not to the specification that he had stated that they would be. upon notifying Dr. Richie of my desire to get what I was expecting, he initially seemed defensive; however, later stated that he would remake the inserts and of the softer variety which I wanted in the first place based on 2 years prior experience with other inserts. Dr. Richie agreed that he would do that. I replied stating that I would first give the initial set a full chance to work for me. Dr. Richie replied stating to let him know if I had any other issues. After approximately 2 months I replied to Dr. Richie that the inserts did not work out so well and that I wanted to accept his offer to make the soft version. Again, he replied very defensively stating that he does not allow patients to "self prescribe" which made no sense since he had already agreed to make them for me. After I pointed out his prior agreement to make me the softer inserts I received an email from one of his staff - "Dr. Richie has decided to no longer participate in your care". It seems obvious that Dr. Richie has helped many people and for that he should be appreciated. In my case, I feel that Dr. Richie had a highly arrogant and defensive attitude and he did not keep his word, however he did keep my money. read more
