There is no better doctor out…read morethere, he treats you like family, he's funny, knowledgeable, and on top of his game constantly learning and striving to do better to be the best foot surgeon in the industry. If you or your loved ones and friends ever have feet issues this is the specialist you want treating your family, there's no BS with Dr. J. I am forever grateful to have him come into my life, and the first tome in years I no longer have pain from walking or doing any activity, I can finally live my life without constant pain. I live in the high desert and our level of care is terrible, I have dealt with ankle and foot pain for last ten years. I have been to several doctors in my area who dismissed my symptoms and pain without ordering X-rays or an MRI, they just told me I was obese and needed to lose weight. I first saw Dr. J early 2025 thinking I had gout. Immediately on the spot he said I tore a tendon in my toe and the ligaments in my ankle were torn. He immediately ordered an MRI and an X-ray, which confirmed exactly what he told within three minutes of diagnosing me. He didn't tell me I was obese and that I needed to lose weight, he listened to my problems and showed empathy and compassion. I was around 400 lbs, at the time and could not get surgery until my weight came down. Dr. J connected me with the right people and helped me get the weight down, and he gave me PRP which helped with the pain in the meantime and kept me in a brace to prevent further injury. I was finally able to get surgery on April 8th, 2026 after getting down to 275. I have lost a significant amount of weight and Dr. J has personally gone out of his way to connect me with quality doctors and good plastic surgeons. Dr. J's techniques are the best, no metal screws or plates needed, two weeks on a knee scooter with week three in a walking boot for 3-4 weeks. I had my surgery April 8th and by May 11th I no longer needed the boot. Couldn't ask for a better doctor or a kinder person than Dr. J!

Finding a doctor who is both skilled and compassionate can be incredibly difficult, but I struck…read moregold with Dr. Joseph! From the moment I met him, I knew I was in good hands. He has a wonderful bedside manner - kind, fun, and genuinely caring. He took the time to thoroughly explain my ankle stabilization and toe surgery, answering all my questions patiently and honestly. But what truly sets him apart is his dedication to going above and beyond for his patients. He truly has your back! For example, knowing I was recovering at home and couldn't celebrate my birthday, he actually ordered a special dinner for my husband and me! It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. When the surgery center closest to me, Advanced Surgical Center of Beverly Hills (which is the absolute worst surgery center in Los Angeles - avoid at all cost!) screwed up big time with my insurance and caused my mental duress and a panic attack minutes before my surgery, Dr. Joseph stood up for me without hesitation and then cancelled all of his surgeries there for a month. He puts patients over everything! Thanks to his skill and care, my recovery has been smooth and successful. I have no scar at all on my toe, and my ankle is healing nicely and will be minimal scaring - he's that good! I can't recommend Dr. Joseph highly enough. His staff is amazing too! So kind, cool, and helpful! If you're looking for a podiatrist who is not only an expert in his field but also a truly wonderful person, look no further!

I was under the care of Dr. Shapiro for 11 months for a fracture. During that entire time, I was…read morekept in a cast and was repeatedly told, either directly or indirectly, that there was little to no hope of proper healing. Despite this, I felt in my gut that I was healing. When I eventually sought second, third, and even fourth opinions, other doctors confirmed that I was in fact healing. One doctor even told me I needed to get out of the negative mindset I had been placed in. Several of these doctors were familiar with him and mentioned they had seen patients come to them after being misdiagnosed. The issues extended beyond medical care. The office environment was unprofessional and disrespectful. I had to return multiple times because my cast was not fitted properly. Instead of addressing the issue professionally, an assistant gave me an attitude and "schooled" me for coming in more than once -- even though I was told to call if there were problems. I was made to feel like I was inconveniencing them for correcting their own work. Parking was also an issue. Staff frequently parked in spaces designated for patients, even though parking was already limited and congested. On multiple visits, I waited in the exam room for two to two and a half hours past my appointment time. One day, the air conditioning was not working, and I could hear other patients being seen and leaving while I continued waiting. When I asked why I even had an appointment time if I wasn't going to be seen anywhere near it, the blame was shifted to staff. Shortly after raising concerns, the office attempted to terminate me as a patient by certified letter. When no one was home to sign for it, they then chose to send the termination notice via text message. That level of communication felt highly unprofessional. Looking back, my biggest lesson is this: if you have bad instincts about a doctor or a medical office, trust them. I gave the benefit of the doubt for too long. I wish I had listened to myself sooner.
