Didn't consider any solutions that might help reduce my pain, just a flat out "too bad, live with it" attitude. He also made it clear that my problem was not his doing.

Instead of discussing my concerns or potential solutions, I was told to refer to the After Visit Summary for over-the-counter recommendations. ​Not only was the AVS left completely blank, but when I followed up via the portal, the staff's only advice was to "find something with salicylic acid"--information I could have found with a basic internet search. Furthermore, the doctor entered the exam room without knocking, which felt unprofessional and dismissive of my privacy. I expected a much higher standard of care and engagement from a Sutter professional..

As a result, I have seen a lot of podiatrists over my life. Among them, I can confidently say that Dr Pourghasemi is the best doctor you can have for ingrown toenails removal. I'm afraid of needles and injections. Dr Pourghasemi was able to conduct the entire procedure in a gentle and minimal pain manner, and all my toenails heal beautifully over time. She has amazing surgical skills, super smart, compassionate. Thank you Dr Pourghasemi!

No more warts, the nails are starting to look better and this is the longest I've gone without an ingrown toenail in 26 years. Truly life-changing. The entire staff is caring, considerate, and an absolute blast to talk to. If you have problems with your feet that you thought could never be fixed or that you just have to deal with for the rest of your life, pop in for a quick consultation. You might just find the relief that you never knew you could enjoy.

I saw Dr. Robinson as a new patient for what I believed to be a toenail that had developed a fungal…read moreinfection. During my visit, he noticed a spot underneath my second toenail. I explained to him that what I thought was a "mole" had been there for most of my life. I actually had it examined by my PCP in the past, and they told me to watch it, make sure I didn't notice any changes in size, shape, diameter, etc. Which I have not, so I was not concerned about it. Dr. Robinson suggested that he do a biopsy. Of course, I was concerned about the procedure and wanted to know more, but I also agreed to have it. As I asked questions, he continuously spoke over me, cut me off, and I felt it was rude. I still listened respectfully. He explained that doing the biopsy was very important and that I would not be in any pain. I told him that I would prefer to have it done on my days off, since my job required me to stand and walk for long periods of time. I did not want to risk having discomfort. He went on to say that this was more important than worrying about work and that I would be "foolish" not to have it done. He told me that he's been doing this for over four decades, and it felt just like a "pinch" in which he "pinched" my skin to show me how little pain I would feel as if I were a three-year-old pediatric patient. After realizing that I would not have the biopsy done right away, he asked, "When will you have two days off in a row next week"? I pulled out my phone to check my work schedule. He said, "Look at me while I am talking to you and give me two days next week". I responded, "If you allow me to check my work schedule for next week to see which dates I am off, then I will let you know". At this point, I realized that I did not want to receive treatment from this provider. He had no empathy or compassion. He invalidated my concerns and feelings. He did not allow me time to give him dates that worked for me. He basically pressured me into making an instant decision, and the decision had to be one that he was comfortable with, not me. To make matters worse, when I attempted to speak up for myself and ask questions regarding the process, recovery, etc, he told me to be quiet, or he would walk out of the room and not return until I was quiet. He stated, "I usually cuss at my patients when they don't listen, but I will not cuss at you". I responded, "That will be wise for you not to". I have been in the healthcare field for over eighteen years and have worked throughout the USA. I was flabbergasted by this physician's lack of professionalism. Needless to say, I will not be returning. I called the office and informed the clerk, Jai, who was really professional, of my experience during my visit, and that I would not return due to his lack of respect towards me and his attitude while providing care. As a medical provider, you have a code of conduct you should follow, which serves as a framework for professional behavior, ensuring that you prioritize the health and well-being of your patients. Forcing your "new" patient to make a decision instantly, using fear tactics to do so, speaking to them in a condescending tone and manner, disregarding their concern for pain based on their pain threshold and possible physical/work limitations, and threatening to abandon care and use profanity when you can't "make" them do what you want based on your time frame, not there's is unacceptable behavior and it crosses the line. I am grateful that I have emotional intelligence and was raised as a Christian by parents who taught me to treat all people equally and with love and respect. This man needs to retire. He does not deserve the title, "doctor". I do not recommend him to anyone. ***I will also like to add....for those of us who have experienced unfavorable treatment or prejudice based on race, gender, age, and/or disability, or have just been disrespected..do not allow that person's poor behavior to deter you from seeking proper medical treatment elsewhere. I do plan to follow-up with a different provider and specialist.

The appointment and the X-Ray process were so smooth. The Los Gatos staff were extremely nice and friendly. They have X-Ray and ultrasonic equipment on-site, which is a great convenience. I was tolerating a severe pain and swollen ankle the entire night, with overthinking such as "Would my bone be fractured? Would I never go back to gym?""Would I need to lay on a bed for 1-3 months?" After X-Ray and ultrasonic, as well as Dr.Chen performed pressure check on different points, he thoroughly explained and educated me about the situation: it is an organic sprain. All bones, joints and ligament are perfectly fine. Dr.Chen showed me and suggested me to record how to use KT tape. No prescriptions, no more exams, but good suggestions on which exercises would help the recovery as well as certain shoes to wear during the period. Thank you so much for having me in such a professional, accessible and friendly place!

He provided multiple options and together we made a plan. I needed orthotic insoles, initially I tried the full length and did not feel they were supportive enough. Dr Guan reached out to the company and made it right. I have now had two sets of the shorter orthotics. These provide great support, especially when I work on my feet 12 plus hours for work! He is easily accessible for questions and concerns. He has a pleasant and kind bedside manner, putting the patient at ease. I highly recommend Dr Guan for foot and ankle related concerns.

I'm writing this review to share my experience with this clinic to hopefully save others from…read morepotential danger. If you are considering making an appointment here, please read on before doing so: I was experiencing quite a bit of pain from my ankle due to inflammation coming from a bone spur. I called a few places before this clinic, but as expected, no one could see me right away, as their schedules were already booked for at least a few days. When I called this place, they said they could see me right away (perhaps that isn't a good sign). But due to the pain, and because there seemed to be quite a lot of positive reviews here, I decided to visit the clinic. After a very hasty evaluation, Dr. Guan had very quickly concluded that I needed surgery to repair the problem, claiming that I needed to remove the bone spur and repair a torn ligament. He urged me to do book the surgery ASAP, within a few days, because he didn't want things to get worse. He scared me enough to go ahead and move forward with booking the pre-surgery consultation. I went home that day obviously very disappointed by the news, but after speaking with my wife and some friends, they had all advised me to seek a second opinion. I also looked into taking care of the inflammation myself for the time being, using ice and voltaren (something that Dr. Guan never even mentioned or suggested). After two days of just simple at-home treatment for the inflammation, the swelling went way down, and the pain began to dissipate. After about a week, my foot was back to normal, and I had no pain at all, and resumed all of my usual activities (running, jump roping, etc). I did go in for a second opinion at another clinic, and this doctor was much more thorough with his evaluation, much more kind and patient, and his conclusion was drastically different. He explained that there was no need for surgery at all, and moreover, the determination to have surgery to repair a torn ligament should be made after at least taking an MRI, which Dr. Guan didn't do. In addition, he performed a number of mobility and strength tests to evaluate this ligament in question, and let me know that I wouldn't be able to pass certain tests if the ligament was indeed torn. Finally, I showed him a picture of the ultrasound that Dr. Guan took, and he explained to me that there was no evidence of a ligament tear. There are a number of reviews here that label this clinic as a "money trap" and that is highly accurate. Dr. Guan prioritizes making money over the care of his patients, and it seems that he may even do this at the cost of his patients well being (I would have been a victim to this, had I proceeded with the surgery). I am leaving two stars instead of one because his receptionist/front desk is very friendly and helpful. But if the review was for "Dr." Guan alone, I would give negative stars if I could. I hope this review will help prevent future mis-diagnoses and shady practices from occurring in the future at this clinic.

After being in active treatment for a year with Dr. Harrison, I sought a second opinion. Since…read moregetting that second opinion, the atmosphere in my appointments with Dr. Harrison drastically shifted. I was made to feel traitorous. I was made to feel stupid. I was told I should blindly trust this very narrow diagnosis he had come to even when I was not responding to tried and true treatments for that diagnosis. When I asked for further imaging (MRI) I was told "No. I know what's wrong with your feet. You should just trust me." That is not paraphrasing, that is exactly what I was told.I feel like Dr. Harrison was not interested in exploring differential diagnoses and really wanted to treat me as a guinea pig for the treatment he wanted me to get which was Amniotic Tissue Injections which would have cost me thousands of dollars out of pocket, as it is an experiemental treatment and not covered by insurance. Dr. Harrison also frequently brought up political and religious topics during my appointments. It is also worth noting I almost always had to wait 30+ minutes past my appointment time to be seen and sometimes he was running close to an hour behind. Once I had an appointment and he wasn't even in the office at my appointment time. I cannot in good conscience recommend seeing Dr. Harrison.
