Dr. Rash saved the day for me. I was treated for a hairline fracture on my right foot by a PCP and, unfortunately, was not given an effective remedy. In search for a solution to help me stay as upright as possible while traveling, I found Dr. Rash on here. I called him and he directly picked up. Without hesitation, he scheduled an appointment an hour later with me in his office in the Castro. Two hours later, I went off with a taped foot and a walking boot, which did the trick. (I was off to a concert that night and needed to get off the crutches!) Dr. Rash kindly followed up with me via email and phone and offered a follow-up the following week, which was not necessary because the initial treatment worked like a charm! If you have a foot injury and/or need a podiatrist, Dr. Rash is the right man. read more

Wayne Rash, DPM - Castro Podiatry - The doctor being very inappropriate - Podiatrists Near Me - San Francisco, California

He works with assisted living communities as their specialist in podiatry. He came to the unit of my friends and offered his services and they assumed it was part of the care package and accepted his services. After a rather basic toe nail clipping, they were charged $650 dollars to be paid immediately. It is astonishing that any podiatrist would grift the elderly as part of their practice. I see a different podiatrist and he does far more for far less to care for my orthopedic issues with professionalism, and more importantly, an actual treatment plan. My friends didn't want me to create additional issues by filling a complaint. When he made his rounds again, I was there and they said "no thank you" as they can refuse treatment that wasn't sanctioned by them. They consider the matter settled, but I promised to leave a fair review. His nail clipping he billed as a "treatment" and a $650 check on their bank statement is despicable. Should anyone reading this review feel compelled to report this practitioner for such practices, you can file a formal complaint with the Podiatric Medical Board of California (PMBC). read more

Dr. Rash visited on September 16 to Care for my handicapped wife. He gave us an estimate of $200. He did not inform us that Medicare would not pay for this as it had done before. He worked about an hour and presented us a bill for $450 with no explanation why the bill had more than two times doubled. Then he did not clean up after his work I asked him for a partial refund and he refused I do not recommend Dr. Rash read more

Finding the right podiatrist is not an easy thing to do. Too many to choose from and many just are not willing to solve complex issues. I had a complex issue that was stressing me out. Dr. Rash figured it out quite quickly and moved forward with a treatment plan that made good sense. He also serves the Elderly and helped many of my friends clients. They were all very happy. He bills most insurances and will drive to your residence too. Please do not pay attention to the negative reviews on here. They are not fact based or even relate to his podiatry practice. He is a great doctor! Thank you for all you do for our elders and for the community. Jeanne read more

Sadly this facility is the most unprofessional I've ever witnessed. I've reached out numerous time to schedule an appointment, I reached the provider once and he seems very uninterested in even taking the patients case. Now we try to follow up and he hangs up on us once we state where we are calling from. Not once not twice but four times. If you do not what the business simply answer and say " I'm not accepting patients at this time". I feel really terrible for anyone who actually is a patient of his, how do they get through to him when it's a childish game of monitor who calls before offering any assistance. Remember that what you do to others will be done to you. I wish your business much success and do hope that you are able to work diligently on your customer service skills as it could bring you many more patients which could in turn raise your income. Blessings to you Dr. Castro! read more

Dr. Rash did an amazing job! I had an ingrown toenail problem. I called in an Dr. Rash was able to take me in the same day. He was very professional. Listened carefully to my concerns and the issue I had. Advised me on several options and we decided to proceed with minor surgery and remove the ingrown part.Everything went well. The only uncomfortable part was the injection of anaesthesia, and then the process was painless. I was on a business trip in SF without health insurance and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Rash isn't just a great podiatrist -- he's a genuinely helpful and friendly person too! Out of nowhere, I came down with foot pain so bad I had to limp. On a Saturday, I found him on Yelp, called his office, and left a message. He called me back in no more than 2 hours on his personal cell phone, and agreed to see me that night! He checked out my foot thoroughly and decided I needed an x-ray to rule out a stress fracture. He could have just sent me up the street to the hospital with a note, but he actually called a me cab and _rode there with me_ to make sure they did it right. He waited with me in the waiting room for the X-ray to free up, went in to give them directions, and read the x-ray immediately. And when there was no fracture, he diagnosed me with a neuroma. The symptoms made perfect sense. He gave me a small steroid injection to reduce the nerve swelling, and advised me to keep my feet out of narrow shoes for a while until he could fit me for orthotics. It went away after a few days, but when it flared up again after a long day of walking, he answered my worried text messages calmly and helpfully. He set up a few followup visits to get me fitted for orthotics, and now the pain is totally gone. I was worried that it might be there forever, but thanks to Dr. Rash, I'm healthy and pain-free. read more

I went to Dr. Rash after a bike accident, on the referral of a friend. I had some pain in my right foot and ankle that would not go away, so I was limping everywhere. Dr. Rash diagnosed the issue, taught me some exercises and stretches to do daily, and gave me some pain medicine to get through the tough part. Within a couple of weeks, the pain was gone and I was walking normally again. Thanks, Dr. Rash! read more

Wayne Rash, DPM - Castro Podiatry - Martin De Porres Medical Building, corner of 18th St and Collingwood St - Podiatrists Near Me - San Francisco, California

Dr. Rash, Could not recommend him highly enough, as he took great care and follow up treatment with me with my ingrown toenails. Opened his clinic to accommodate me on a late Saturday evening as I was in pain. Was accessible by text or email if I had any follow up issues or concerns. Dr Rash has gotten me a good foot forward for 2019. Thank you Dr. read more

Shady business practices- I saw Dr Rash for an emergency appt on a Sunday, which was great, but when I went to check out at the end, he offered to submit to my insurance for me and I left without a receipt or copy of my invoice for (expensive) services I paid for out of pocket. My mistake to fall for this paperless bill nonsense! That was Sept 2019. Fast forward to June of 2020 and my insurance company still has never received the claim, and I have texted with him on 6 different occasions, asking for the invoice and proof of claim submission with zero luck... NINE months later, and I have neither been reimbursed, nor seen an invoice so I can file the claim myself. Extremely unprofessional and I will be reporting him to the Better Business Bureau if I do not receive the requested documents. You're better off going to someone who treats patient's finances with respect, or be ready to pay out of pocket and never see reimbursement. read more

I liked Dr. Rash and got great pain relief from his treatment. He injected both of my feed with something and now several months later I now have a discoloration in the areas that he injected. I have reached out to him twice to find out what he used so that I could be aware of this reaction next time and he has not returned any of my messages. I am very disappointed...especially since I know he is in the area and I can see him in his online profile. . read more

Gifted Genius! Rare balance between Eastern and Western medicine. Eclectic background adds nuance and depth to his healing approach.

Dr. Rash is great. He's been able to help in ways I didn't know existed. His professionalism and easy manner made me feel both confident and assured of his professional ability. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a Podiatrist. read more

Buyer beware! Do not pay Dr Rash in advance for arch supports. I paid him in advance in June of 2014 and I still haven't been reimbursed by my insurance company. It took 6 months to even get an invoice from his "paperless" office that I could use to file a claim and the invoice was so incomplete and unprofessional that Blue Cross/Blue Shield rejected it. He left off the diagnostic code, required information, and instead of clearly stating that he had sold me two arch supports, he just showed a procedure code for an arch support. Blue Cross/Blue Shield interpreted this as one and that's all they reimbursed me for. There were 2 but, he failed to mention this in the invoice. I sent multiple e-mails asking him to correct the bill; but, he hasn't responded to my e-mails or to calls from my insurance company. It's been 8 moths since I paid for the arch supports and I still haven't been reimbursed. His "office' is a sham. The people in the outer office don't work for or with Dr. Rash. He's a one man show with no administrative support. So he does-or in my case doesn't do, his own billing and he's so bad at it that my health insurance couldn't process his invoice. If you have health insurance that covers arch supports, go to a preferred provider who will handle the paperwork for you. In most cases, you will not have to pay in advance and will only be billed for your co-pay. There are many excellent Podiatrists in San Francisco who have professional offices that do all the Medicare and Health Insurance Claim paper work for you. Dr. Rash is not one of them. read more

I had a toe infection that turned into a blister and became very painful overnight. I had known Dr Rash for some time since we met at Starbucks and I knew that he is a podiatrist. I called him on Friday night and left a message.He called me Saturday morning and was able to see me later in the day. He was extremely professional, explained in detail to me the procedure that he was going to perform and the medication he was going to prescribe. He gave me a local anesthetic , drained, cleaned and dressed the area without any pain. He followed up later the same day and the following day to inquire how I was doing. When he learned that Walgreens was out of the ointment he had prescribed he gave me the samples from his own office and delivered them to me in person at Starbucks! I have never met a doctor who took such good care and followed up so diligently. He is going to be my podiatrist from now on. Neeraj read more
