Huge thanks for making it all go away. You are kind, smart, funny, thorough...expert.

She was like "what?!? How come the previous Drs in Texas and NY didn't tell her this before? Long story short, they removed the ingrown warts and now, Teo months after the procedure she's walking pain free almost at 100% no longer needing to see a podiatrist. Btw, the procedure cost her 1000 pesos, about $55. How much you think it would have cost here in San Diego? Btw, they do speak English and when I got there there were a couple of other patients from the US speaking English as well. Muchas gracias Casa Pedica.

Dr. Berenter is the best! How do I know? I had a bunionectomy 35 yrs ago when I was 35 years old…read more I was in pain for almost a year, and couldn't wear anything but tennis shoes ( I was an executive at the time, my boss thought I was milking it a bit) when the same foot, 30 plus years later started hurting again, I thought, oh my gosh, I can't go thru this again, the pain is too much at 67, I am very active however, walk 5 miles every day so I was referred to Dr. Berenter. My 1st question was "has this surgery changed in 30 plus years? AND told him my story", his reply was "no, but you will not be in that kind of pain, if much at all"! Max 2 weeks in a boot and then back into shoes. Well, I wanted to believe him but really didn't. I have had a number of surgeries in my 70 years, and this is the only one I remember like it was yesterday. I knew I had to proceed, low and behold I don't even think I took 1 pain pill. In a week I told him I was ready to get back to my life and he said, "not so fast, you need to wear the boot at least another week, so you don't mess up what I did". Oh darn! I did and have never had a problem since. He also saw my left foot, as it too had a big bunion, but said, "until you are in pain", let's leave it alone. 3 years later, I am now in pain (it's not a pain you forget). I went to see Dr. Berenter and said it's time. He x-rays my foot and says, let's book it. I am going in next week for my surgery and not concerned a bit because I know he is the best and have referred many people to him in my senior community. The only thing that would be better is if his office was up in our neck of the woods. LOL

At that point I already have been seen by: Emergency room 2 MDs 2 PAs 3 Nurses And possibility of my toe amputation was discussed. I was very stressed out. Dr. Anderson healed the infection and transfered me to Dr. Cullen. What a great COOPERATION! Model for the Medical field! After 2 visits Dr. Cullen performed the surgery. 2 months later I AM BACK to ALL of the activities I performed before the injury. Now I do it ALL: *lift weights *hike in the mountains * ride bicycle *ride my street and dirt motorcycles NO RESTRICTIONS! I have been doing ALL of theses activities in my regular shoes with NO modifications! What a recovery!!! THANK YOU DR. CULLEN!!!

This review isn't about the doctor, as I was never actually able to see him. It's about the front…read moreoffice experience, which was unprofessional, disorganized, and remarkably lacking in customer service. Prior to my appointment, I completed all of the requested online paperwork, including uploading my insurance card. When I arrived, I was told that neither my paperwork nor insurance information had been received, so I completed everything again by hand. I only had a photo of the front of my insurance card and was told they needed both sides. After spending approximately 15 minutes trying unsuccessfully to get a photo of the back, another receptionist told me I could simply send it later. I then waited another 20 minutes. When I finally asked when I would be seen, the receptionist seemed surprised that I was still there. Apparently, I had been forgotten. She then asked for my copayment. When I handed her my American Express card, I was told they don't accept Amex and that I could drive approximately 15 minutes to an ATM. Her other suggestion was that I reschedule. When I later pointed out to the office manager that there was nothing on their website indicating they don't accept Amex, she told me it was posted on their front door. I couldn't help but laugh--by the time a patient sees the front door, they're already there. At that point, I asked to speak with the office manager. Big mistake. When I explained that I had already submitted my paperwork online, she interrupted me to say that their office has nothing to do with the online service. There was no concern about what had happened to the personal information I had submitted through a system their office had directed me to use. Instead, she was rude and dismissive and, when I became frustrated with how I was being treated, accused me of being rude. Benjamin may be an excellent doctor, but the front office is a patient's first experience with a practice. Based on mine, I'll never know. I won't be returning.

My visit was due to ingrowns on each toe. He helped me feel better about the toe ingrown process and what is expected after they are removed. My toes feel so much better now.

I had accepted that the pain and my condition would always be part of my life. That is until I got referred to Dr. Brookshier. I first met him, he was very friendly and understood the issue. His whole approach was different from any podiatry I had seen in the past. His state-of-the-art approach was to identify how I walked and the weight distribution of my feet using various technologies. Once, he determined the type of stance and foot orientation I had. He began treatment. This was the first time I've had a detailed image of my foot taken. The attention to detail in treating my foot condition was above and beyond. Dr. Brookshire tried not to treat the pain temporarily, but solve the problem permanently or with a long-lasting solution. After seeing him a few times, he finally came up with a solution to my pain, and my feet are not in constant pain anymore. Don't waste your time dealing with other Podiatrists. This is the place to seek long-lasting treatment, and they accept Tricare! I highly recommend this place.

I came in to see Dr. Shoaee starting last July. Yesterday was my last appointment with her (super…read morebittersweet because I didn't realize that until I had left!) I've had bunions ever since I was in elementary school and I didn't know how I got them until I saw Dr. Shoaee and the PT she referred me to. My gait was causing my feet to form this heinous bunions (ugh). Prior to seeing Dr. Shoaee, I was a little weary about getting them removed because I could not find a podiatrist in San Diego with a lot of reviews or great bunionectomy reviews. Any surgery is a huge investment and commitment with the pre- and post-op responsibilities.I decided to go to Dr. Shoaee after months of looking into podiatrists and orthopedists in SD and OC (yes, i was willing to make the commute). Thank goodness I decided to give this office a go because now I am 6 months post-op on both of my bunionectomy with osteotomy procedures. The whole process was smooth thanks to Karina (the main MA), she made my experience a lot less stressful than I had anticipated. Dr. Shoaee is great at what she does and takes the time to evaluate and make sure that you understand what the procedure and post care will be like. She listens to any concerns you might have and answers all of your questions with care, making sure you're reassured and that you know what your next steps are (pun intended). I'm super happy with my feet, the pain I had before is gone and the scars are almost gone too! I use mederma every day and it works wonders. Pictures to come soon..

From the moment you walk in, they create a welcoming and positive experience. Dr. Tu was outstanding from start to finish. As a medical provider myself, it was truly refreshing to be treated by someone who is not only highly knowledgeable but who genuinely cares about their patients and delivers exceptional treatment. I never once felt like just another appointment on the schedule--Dr. Tu treated me like a human being, and that made all the difference. That personal care was the best part of the experience. Many patients come in feeling desperate to get better or searching for answers, and unfortunately some places take advantage of that. That was absolutely not the case here. Dr. Tu was honest, transparent, and thorough. He provided clear instructions and all the information needed for my treatment to be successful without requiring unnecessary follow-up treatments. I'm truly grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Dr. Tu to anyone looking for a physician who combines expertise, integrity, and genuine compassion for patients.
