I was recommended this business due to a foot injury and I am so happy with the consultation and service. The check in process was super easy and quick, the facility was really clean, and the knowledge of the assistant and doctor made me feel so at ease. read more

I would give Vicky and Ari 10 s if possible. This is my second time coming in for a pedicure. Pedicure at an MD office? YES! Cleaner and sanitary setting. So much more than a pedicure at a nail salon. I am not a fan of pedicures but Ari changed that with her patience and gentle touch. She took her time and talked me through the process so that those little tugs or pulls would not take me by surprise. Vicky was very patient and gentle as well. She took care of my 80- yr young mom with the same patience and gentle touch as Ari. Thank you Ari and Vicky for your outstanding care! Shout out also to Chantal (sorry if misspelled) at the front desk for her sweet and caring service as well! read more

Came in on 02/20/2025 I took my dad in for a medical pedicure. What is a medical pedicure you ask? It's like a regular pedicure but they don't cut cuticles and focus more on the health and hygiene of the feet. Their office is on the 3rd floor of the building. Waiting area is open to where the elevator doors are so try not to be too loud getting off the elevator. lol Everyone looked up at me when I was guiding my dad out. It was fine but the unexpected stares startled me out for a second. lol He had an appointment at 9:15am and had no wait when we arrived. They led us back to a room that was about the same size and look of a dr. office room. We walked in and got my dad seated in the massage chair. This was a very much needed and long over due pedicure. My dad is 81 yrs young and I've taken him to get regular pedicures at salons prior to this session but they hurt him so we stopped going. Hard growth grew underneath his toenails so it was hard for me to cut his nails myself and I didn't want to accidentally cut into it and cause an infection or something. This place saved the day! Not only did they get all the growth out but they were able to file down and cut all his toenails down short. They were practically claws when we came in. My dad said it hurt a little but it was expected with everything going on and nothing like how it hurt at the salon. The technician also gave me recommendations on how to keep his toes clean and healthy. 10/10. Definitely a great experience and will bring my dad back here periodically. No more salons! Highly recommend especially for elderly people. The staff is great too. I look forward to our next visit. read more

I wish I could make Dr. Khawam my PCP for everything. Amazing care from start to finish. Easy to make an appointment and simple forms to fill out on arrival. Up front pricing and detailed explanations of what and why they would treat my feet in the way they recommended. Time will tell if this approach with the laser and topical treatments works on my toenails but the service and care here is truly above and beyond. read more

I called to change my appointment and was confirmed I arrive and they said the appointment was never changed. Staff needs to pay attention to what they're doing, people go out of their way to drive to these appointments and schedule work time. Never coming back. read more

Do not go to this place: I hurt my ankle over a year ago. They provided terrible medical advice "stay off of it completely for 6 weeks and then get surgery". I went to an orthopedic surgeon and he recommended PT, and adamantly against surgery- and after three months of PT I was back in action. But not only was the medical advice poor, I received a bill today, over a year after being at this place. I had originally gone in to discuss the bill and was told it was handled and I had nothing pending on my account. I asked for a call back and never received one. I have heard nothing from them since May. When I called to discuss their only response is that their billing department changed last summer. Never go here. read more

I have been suffering for over 10 years with an ingrown toenail. I had no idea that there was a fix for this. OMG!!! Dr Khawam did a great job working with me and thoroughly explained what was the best procedure was for me as I was going on a cruise in 2 days. Her assistants were just as great. After she numbed my toe, I absolutely felt nothing while she did the procedure. I am so thankful for her and her group for taking care of this. Thanks read more

My experience here was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Marjorie Khawam is considerate and thorough. My ingrown toenail procedure couldn't have gone more smoothly if it wasn't for her and her team. Highly recommend read more

Overall foot treatments . Care quality was great, as always. My husband and I have been their clients for years and have continually been pleased with our visits. We highly recommend A Step Above! The entire staff, including the check in and rescheduling individuals, are always efficient and professional. Beverly E. & Brian K. read more

Everyone in this office is knowledgeable and very kind. The doctor took her time and sat and explained to me how to care for my broken ankle, also explaining the importance of healing. The PA took her time and was so patient and gentle with my ankle in placing it in the boot. Overall care was excellent, quality was excellent, and office experience was excellent! Very happy with this office! read more

I have had a mixed experience with my last foot doctor and decided to take the advice of a customer that was discussing the doctor down the street from my work as they ranted and raved about the foot doctor I was lucky enough to grab a canceled appointment . Well I had a great experience from my first interaction. I walked up to check in with receptionist as I was taking care of the payment for the office visit. The gal at the front desk was very helpful and explained the process and how the deductible was taken care of the overage was explained by the front desk person and she continued on to state that they would issue a check if the insurance covers the payment will be reimbursed. I realized at that time that the majority of the doctors staff were and are my customers at the vons grocery store up the street. The physician assistant/ xray technician I also knew as customers. And she was very nice and helpful . NOW the doctor was absolutely incredible she had an amazing soft touch with blinders to stop the patient from seeing needles. She wanted me to compare her injection to the last foot doctor. Well since I flew in the air and this new doctor was so good she gave me two shots and I had no pain while she finished and felt very little pain if any. After looking over the X-rays and the other doctors report Dr Khalwam found d the problem that has been obvious and began treating my pain and then will fix the other problems that I have on my over worked feet. She was amazing and is gonna take the screws out in the next few days I give the dr Khalwam and her amazing staff a 10 out of 10 read more

I came in a few weeks ago but wanted to make sure to come back on Yelp and leave a review for Dr. Marjorie because she and the facility deserved another 5 star recognition. This is the 3rd podiatrist I've seen after food surgery. I've had many doctors try to quickly access and diagnose me. None of the diagnosis's were the same and it became frustrating and took a toll on my mental health. Dr. Marjorie was super sweet, patient, attentive, and listened to all my concerns and timeline. She never spoke ill about any of the other local podiatrists. She stayed professional and honest. I appreciate the care and advice the facility gave me. All the girls were very kind. I felt welcomed and I was able to leave feeling better about my health. They really do put the CARE in HEALTHCARE. read more

Dr. Khawam is awesome! I had thought I was walking on a nail and had plantar fasciitis so went to get some of the great orthotics her wonderful staff will mold you for. She said that something wasn't right and ordered an mri which showed that my Achilles tendon was about to snap! I've had to have several different surgeries from work and sports and this was the most unique of all! Dr. Khawam's advice and her staff's help was priceless and I returned to work 3 weeks ago but just got my last circulation enhancement treatment today and in 6 months can walk better now than I did before I was injure! Thank you A Step Above Footcare, and all the wonderful woman who work there to make sure people stay on their feet so they can keep playing with their kids and working at jobs that they need them for!!!!! read more

All providers should be like this...they initiate the call as soon as they received my referral; got a next-day appointment; short wait (less than 15 mins) and maximized my time by getting both x-ray and MRI done in one appointment; and initiated my need for orthotics. Everyone is so friendly--my techs to podiatrist, they are true professionals. read more

Good quick service, I came here for Laser it definitely improved the inflammation on my heels read more

They take great care of you here!! I would recommend them to everyone. They care about not only your foot are, but people as a whole.

I went in for a extraction procedure today,and it was the best medical experience I've had. Very quick, painless, and professional. Super clean. The entire staff was very attentive and informative. May I add that, they all made me feel comfortable and at home. Thank you. read more

Nice office staff, helpful in getting timely appointments and the doctor is helpful and kind. Great service and I sent my son to see them too. read more

Dr. Kahwam is wonderful! I called for an appointment and thought it would be weeks before I could get in with my son. I was so surprised when they offered a next day appointment. The front office called me the morning of and explained an estimate for the visit after running my insurance. I was very grateful for that extra step. When we arrived it was a short 5 minute wait and we were taken to an exam room. The nurse explained what the procedure could entail and set up the area. Shortly after, dr. Kahwam came in and examined my son. She came up with a detailed plan and I authorized the procedure. Everything was completed that day. After the procedure, the nurse booked us for the follow up before we left the room. Excellent service, excellent follow up and very caring and nice staff. read more

Great with kids. Knowledgeable and experienced. Would go back again for future foot care needs for the family!

Solved my foot pain problems. It took a few months and 4 office visits. She personally gets to know your history.

Fantastic and very skilled treatment. I've never had so much careful examination, treatment and advice from any other provider. Extremely impressed! read more

I love Dr. Khawam! She takes her time, is personable, warm, and so knowledgeable! I love how she approaches medicine, and does things as to not having to resort to surgery! I trust her completely! I have a pesky fungus infection on my one nail and also not the best or prettiest feet due to bunions. She is conservative in the way she decides to approach issues which I admire because other doctors want to rush into surgery! She is the best! read more

I received superior service from Alice and Grace. They took care of my feet and no words can express just how happy I was with results. Highly recommend both of them. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Marjorie Miller-Khawam for all foot and ankle needs. Dr. Khawam has helped me to eliminate a persistent fungus on my toes and has given me a roadmap to keep the fungus at bay. I appreciate her knowledge and experience. She is extremely skilled and also has an excellent staff. The office staff is most helpful and friendly. My husband and I go to Araceli for pedicure services and could not be more satisfied. Chris & Monika Dieckmann read more

I wish all doctors were like Dr. Khawam, for years now I've had frustrating painful plantar warts that wouldn't go away no matter what I tried (apple cider vinegar, duct tape, Salicylic acid, Dr. Scholls, etc) . After a few treatments with the swift machine my warts wouldn't budge, but Dr. Khawam refused give up. So she had me in every 2-3 weeks for aggressive treatments. Took a few tries with the swift machine but eventually my foot finally started to attack the warts and after many years I can finally say my foot is wart free. I'm still in disbelief. 10/10 recommend Dr. Khawam. She and her staff are the best hands down and they won't give up on you. read more

My family has been going to Dr. Miller-Khawam for years. She makes you feel as though you are her only patient. Really takes her time and explains everything in a language I can easily understand. I recommend her to all of my friends, and they have been very happy! read more

Honestly I cannot say enough about my experience at A Step Above. My toddler daughter developed athletes foot which, in a normal circumstance, would not be that big of a deal. However, during Covid, not being able to get into my pediatrician and noticing her itching her feet made me feel absolutely awful. I knew what she had but since she is so young I was hesitant to put OTC creams on her feet and did not want her to continue to be uncomfortable while we waited for the pediatrician. Dr Lisonbee was incredible. Not only did he make me feel like there was no need to panic, his professionalism and confidence immediately put at ease my mom-guilt. His recommendation for a medication that was safe for her to accidentally injest was above and beyond what I hoped for, since she still puts her feet in her mouth. He explained how to wash and care for her feet, what to put on them, and how to clean everything I used! I genuinely cannot express how much I appreciate the medical care and the lack of shaming I received here, my daughter has had stinky feet for months so we already wash them as part of her bedtime routine, but with our new guidance the smell is finally gone and she is beyond thrilled that we will kiss her feet again (toddlers are so strange). When was the last time you had such a great medical experience that you called your in-laws to tell them about it? Thats the experience you get at A Step Above. read more

Unfortunately I felt that I had to update my review :(. Before that I want to still stand by the amazing customer service and well trained staff they have. I went to get my toe redone because it grew back, unfortunately I might be one of those people that's body doesn't get phased by the medicine they put on my toe so my ingrown won't grow back again. I did however felt in my toe something loose in my wound and is usually i would've let it just do it's thing but the, what I thought was a hard scab, was actually a piece of nail... read more

I called the office to check if they accept my insurance carrier and pricing to see a doctor and toenail fungus laser removal. Each time I called I was given a different price. My first call I was told $175. My second call I was told with my insurance it would be $105. Then when I arrived at the office I was told $150. Looks like they make up rates especially if you're a cash customer. This bothered me so I chose not to receive services here. read more

I highly recommend Dr Kahwam and her office. They are very friendly and professional . They have handled all of my foot problems.

Dr. Marjorie is fantastic! Nobody wants to have a pain in your toe. She dug a little piece of glass out of my toe that has been pestering me for 2 months. I tried and tried but no luck. She is a real pro and got it out with no pain! Hallelujah!!! read more

I was seen by Grace for a KeriFlex treatment. I had previously seen another provider and was not satisfied with my results. Grace immediately made me comfortable. Her confidence in her work put me at ease. She talked me through her process which was so helpful. I was so completely satisfied I about had tears in my eyes. If you live in the LA area (or even close) GO SEE GRACE! She got me pool and beach ready!!! read more

I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Khawam and her staff. I strongly recommend that you make an appointment with her for ANY foot or ankle problems that you may be having. She provided me with an extremely detailed diagnosis of the MRI that I had done right in her office, and prescribed a successful treatment plan to heal and get pain-free. She's very knowledgeable and one of the most personable doctors that I've ever had. FIVE STARS ! read more

They truly are a step above. Remarkable staff... friendly and efficient and very courteous. Dr Khawam is excellent. She takes the time to learn about the patient and this helps her with her diagnosis and treatment. Patient experience was off the charts... this is how healthcare should be delivered. Congrats. read more

I can't say better things about this office. The office is accommodating with my work schedule as well when I am trying to make an appointment which I really appreciate. I have been dealing with pesky nail fungus for some time now & even lost my 2 nails. Dr. Khawam did laser nail treatment on my 2 big toes, I am seeing excellent results and healthy growth. Grace is a very skilled technician who I've received 3 Keryflex treatments from as well. Highly recommend this office. read more

The laser treatment did not work on my toenails at all. My toenails did not improve with several laser treatments and the laser treatments are painful. It ended up being a waste of time and money but the staff was always nice. read more

I got a painful ingrown toenail and was looking for a place that could treat it on the same day. I called A Step Above Foot-care and they had a cancellation so I was able to walk in. I am just so happy I found this practice on Yelp. The receptionist staff was very helpful, kind and welcoming. Dr.Khawam made the procedure of removing my ingrown toenail go very smoothly. She creates a very relaxing atmosphere in her office where you can feel at ease (she even plays soft enjoyable music!). I always get really nervous around needles but she made this all a very pleasant experience. Thank you Dr. Khawam and your wonderful staff for all your help! I will definitely recommend this office to friends and family! read more

For the past year I have been suffering from toe fungus. I have tried every home remedy to get rid of it and none of it worked. It was embarrassing and painful. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Marjorie Miller-Khawam. I made an appt. immediately and the whole experience was great. She is amazing! I went in and didn't even have to wait. She assessed my nails and suggested I do a laser treatment. She was very informative and kind. Also, this can be pretty embarrassing but she and her staff were so comforting and assured me this would do the trick... and it did!! It has been about two months since my laser treatment and my fungus is completely grown out and gone with one treatment... sometimes it can take up to 6 months from what I see on the internet. I wish I had gone to her sooner. I can finally wear flip-flops without being embarrassed and no more pain! If you are experiencing the same thing and have been using home remedies I would suggest to skip all of that. It is a waste of time and ineffective. Plus, fungus can grown back unless you treat it properly. read more
