Back from an extended engagement in the Catskills, is Dr. Kahan, Sacramento's funniest podiatrist. I was offended, however, when he threw my shoe across the room calling it garbage.I am impressed with the level of care he has given to so many of his patients and wait expectantly for the healing relief that he says is on the way. Since I wasn't in bad pain to begin with I expect euphoria to hit me any day now. More power to you, Dr. Kahan :-) read more

David L Kahan, DPM - kruschev pounds the table with his shoe - Podiatrists Near Me - Sacramento, California

My previous podiatrist retired and I was referred to Dr Kahan by my primary care physician. This was my second visit. The office was a bit hectic but the staff did an outstanding job of getting everyone checked in and ready for their appointment. Dr Kahan is very considerate, compassionate and always takes the time to listen and fully addressed all of my concerns without making me feel rushed. Even as busy as he was. I highly recommend Sacramento Foot and Ankle Center and Dr Kahan read more

I went in to have a bump on my foot evaluated. If took me a half hour to fill out the new patient medical history, but they told me to arrive early and it was very thorough. Dr. Kahan have me his full attention and took as long needed to discuss my condition. I asked him several additional questions about other foot problems (you just don't get to be 74 years old and not have a few foot problems!). He was very knowledgeable and very kind. I really appreciated his conservative approach. He didn't Jump right into surgery as so many other podiatrists do! I truly appreciate his measured approach to avoiding invasive procedures. I'll be back for sure! read more

As an attorney, I can't afford to be distracted and debilitated by foot pain. I had a foot problem that another podiatrist treated me for without success. My pain was a 10/10, and getting worse. Dr. Kahan was the cure. He is among the most caring, considerate, and competent doctors there is. Dr. Kahan gave me a procedure that was totally pain free, and reduced my pain from 10/10 to zero pain. I feel like my feet are literally 10-20 years younger and heathier and I'm happier than ever. It's only been a few days since my procedure and I can't wait to get on my treadmill again. I'm pain free, healthy, happy and more than healed. If you have any reservation about seeing a podiatrist, see Dr. Kahan, it doesn't get any better. Thank you, Dr. Kahan, I don't feel like walking, thanks to you, I actually feel like tap dancing! read more

Wow!! It was such a pleasure to have Dr. David Kahan remove my in grown toe nail. He made it so painless!! I was very nervous in the beginning but walked out like a champ. The anesthesia shots were the worst part, but didn't hurt too bad. He was very gentle with everything. Super friendly made me feel comfortable. Going back for my left side in a few weeks. The procedure was quick and he got both entire sides cleaned easily. He definitely knows what he's doing! Also want to note I Yelp messaged him 4am and received a response by 7am and got appointment same day for 1pm. Staff is super friendly at the front counter as well. Thanks again Dr. Kahan see you in a few weeks for the right side!! =) read more

Dr. Kahan has now treated two of my sons and once again we are very satisfied with his professionalism. It was another ingrown toenail & this one was worse than my other sons situation. We are from the Elk Grove area and drive all the way to Dr. Kahan because of the reviews & after our first satisfied experience with him and his office staff, we continue to utilize his services as needed. I would recommend him to family, friends and even to those reading this review on here seeking a Foot Dr/Podiatrist/ physiatrists. read more

I called several times today, but no answer. I am giving a 4 stars because I heard that the doctor is awesome, but he needs to answer the calls. read more

Dr kahan is the only person that I would show my feet to. He is a great Dr who cares about his patients and he has a great sense of humor but most importantly he is a kind and compassionate man. He listens to you about your problem then tells you his professional opinion. Awesome Podiatrist!! read more

I found Dr Kahan on Yelp as I was looking for a new foot doctor. My last doctor rushed me all the time and seemed to only be interested money, and wanted to perform a second surgery. So a second opinion is what I was after. Dr Kahan has Never rushed me, in fact most of my appointments seem to last at least 30 minutes. Dr Kahan has done a stellar job pinpointing my exact issue (plantar Fasciitis) and after a few months of seeing me I will need to have surgery but I trust this opinion. I think it is always a good idea to get a second opinion, not feel rushed or that you're an ATM machine. read more

Dr. Kahan is nothing less than a miracle worker. He was able to squeeze me into his schedule on a same day notice. He has a firm hand shake, and you can tell a lot about a person from a handshake. I was thoroughly taken care of and was in and out of the office in 30 minutes. The only thing that would've made the experience any better is if I would've brought tacos for everyone. I would definitely go back if needed. 10/10 read more

Dr. Kahan is a lifesaver - literally! My boyfriend had a bacterial infection on his feet and Dr. Kahan saw him within an hour of us calling. Not only did he see us on his lunch, he didn't rush and spent almost an hour discussing the issue. He definitely wanted to figure out what was causing the infection and even called in the evening to check up on him. He saw him an additional two more times and we can't thank him enough. We're so grateful we came here instead of the urgent care. Not only was it cost effective, but we felt that Dr. Kahan was genuinely concerned with his well being. 5 stars! read more

My insurance didn't cover Dr. Kahan but I decided to pay out of pocket for another opinion. I'm so glad I did. I've been to 2 doctors that told me I needed to have surgery for what looked like corns but NO ONE ever told me WHY! I didn't understand why something that looked so innocuous on my toes needed to be addressed surgically. Dr. Kahan was the FIRST doctor to tell me why and explained that it wasn't as simple as a corn removal. He also explained the type of surgery and that it wasn't as daunting as I thought it would be. One hears surgery and it makes them nervous. He disclosed he doesn't perform surgery but took my insurance card, actually looked up podiatrists covered by my insurance, and recommended someone. What doctor does that!!!He showed so much compassion and treated me like a patient he cared about. I couldn't recommend him enough and will gladly pay out of pocket to see him for any non-surgical issues in the future. Thanks Doc! read more

As a 57 year old female with toenail fungus, I searched the Internet and read all I could on toenail fungus. I had done treatments for more than 10 years. Now I wanted a cure. After reading about laser I made appointments with 3 podiatrist. I chose Dr. Kahan for my treatment because he was enthusiastic and genuine in his desire and ability to cure my toenail fungus. When he said "no one will try as hard as me" I believed him. He charged less than the other podiatrist, and has included two treatments to date. He also gave me a prescription strength anti-fungal cream to use each day, and a spray for my shoes. I go back in a couple of weeks for my third visit. The treatments are painless! All 10 toes are approximately 10 minutes. It has been three months, and my toe nails are almost all grown out. I have noticed a big improvement in the great toe that has had the fungus for 15 years. It is growing out slower than the others, but is coming in pink for the 1st time! I would recommend him to any and all that have toe nail fungus. It is so ugly and now can be so easily cured read more

Note: this business will be moving to 2 Scripps Drive as of March 1, 2012, so I'm not sure if it will retain the name "Carmichael Foot Clinic." But, regardless of what they will call it, you can see more reviews under the doctor's name: David Kahan. I've had toe nail fungus for almost 20 years, and had tried all kind of over-the-counter and prescription products. No medicine ever got rid of the problem and were a pain (metaphorically) to apply every day, so I finally figured that I had nothing to lose by stopping the medications. I was wrong. The fungus spread, and soon it was on 7 toes -- plus one finger. The finger is what pushed me into laser treatment, which I had avoided because of the expense (and it wasn't covered by my insurance). After researching various options in Sacramento, Dr. Kahan was my first choice. Because the infected area on many of my toes was so thick, Dr. Kahan was very candid about not having a good chance for success and leaving the decision up to me about whether or not to try it. He did not pressure me in any way at all, so it was clear to me that my welfare, rather than his profit, was his higher priority. I went for it. I'm so happy! Just to be sure that he cured every one of my 8 infected digits, Dr. Kahan gave me a fourth treatment today. And, he didn't even charge me. Furthermore, Dr. Kahan has always been very nice to be with and his staff has always been helpful. In several ways (including a billing problem I once had), he has always shown the highest integrity and competence. read more

Dr. Kahan is a breath of fresh air in my experience with the medical world. He offered a truly collaborative spirit of consultation rather than the all too common authoritarian mandate that I've encountered with other med professionals. He offered great insights concerning my foot health issues and left me feeling generally empowered with my options going forward. i'd recommend him without reservation. As a minor note (in reaction to other reviewers) the woman I encountered on the phone as well as at the front desk was professional, courteous, and friendly. No problem at all. read more

Found Dr. Kahan on google and he was very helpful and thorough. He saw mother on a very short notice and opened his office a little early to accommodate the schedule visit. He arranged for us to get X-rays in Elk Grove the day before so we can expedite the visit. His website is great and forms can be downloaded to fill ahead of time. Everything about this Dr is beyond excellent. I will refer my friends and family to him for any future foot and elbow issues. Thank you! read more

Basically I had an ingrown toenail from hell, I neglected to get it taken care of for way too long because I was nervous to get the procedure done. With all the horror stories online and my own mother (who has had four ingrown toenail removals) telling me that I was going to die...I figured I would just let my toe fall off before going to a doctor. Well after a while it got so bad that I could not even wear socks with out feeling discomfort so I did a little research and found Dr. Kahan. I called on Monday, could have gone in that day but I needed one more day to prepare myself - so, I went in on the following Tuesday. At this point my toe is sensitive to even the cold air outside, so you could imagine how nervous I was to have work done on it but Dr. Kahan is an actual angel. He has a very warm personality and is super easy to joke around with. I was instantly at ease after the first few jokes. I felt no pain the entire procedure and I was in his office for no more than 30 minutes. Two days after the procedure now and my toe is looking and feeling fabulous. I made a yelp account just to be able to write this review! Can't say enough good things. I hope I don't have to make a visit to Dr. Kahan anytime soon or at all really but if I had to get the work done again - he is hands down my first and only choice. read more

Phenomenal Doc. David L kahan is very easy to feel comfortable with especially with feet like mine! I'm going and starting treatment for toenail fungus today so results will take time but I already feel like a winner just receiving good information and what to expect. I really appreciate. The honesty he brings to the table. Very few will always tell you what you want to hear to get into your pocket...but not him whatsoever. This is the place to be if your looking! Not to mention the Front Desk Woman is bilingual and sweet..spanish/english so do not wait anymore...Fantastic Team. Thank You so much today. Happy Girl L read more

He is gentle, funny and gets to the point. Very nice girl at front desk as well. Highly recommend him! read more

I had an ingrown toenail that was bothering me and saw the Doc. It wasn't too bad he told me but did what he could to make my foot feel more comfortable. If I had any other issues with my foot I would definitely see him and his staff again. Thanks Doc read more

Searched for the best Foot doctor here on Yelp and I'm glad I found Dr. Kahan. Walked in to his clinic in pain, walked out pain-free (Ingrown toenail). Will surely recommend him to anyone who needs a foot doctor. read more

Dr. Kahan was great for me. He used a laser to heat up my big toenails and it looks as if they are finally growing in without fungus. Very reasonable fee! And very personable, as well. read more

I have been Doctor Kahan's patient for about 8 years. He has healed my feet when needed. Dr. Kahan is an observant, kind, funny, good listener, and above all he knows what he is doing. He was instrumental in saving my life 5 years ago from a systemic strep infection that started in my foot. You could not do better when choosing a podiatrist. read more

This doctor has to be one of the friendliest most down-to-earth medical professionals I have ever encountered. Fast service, Accompanied by a friendly demeanor is what you need when you are nervous about a condition and possible procedure. I would recommend this office and this doctor to anyone. read more

Highly recommended my husband had a really bad infection ingrown nail now the pain is gone I'm glad yelp recommended us here now I have a appointment soon that's how good this doctor is btw the receptionist very friendly and helpful read more

Very friendly man. Answered all the little questions I had and made sure I was comfortable before starting the ingrown toenail surgery. $150 for the regular removal treatment. $250 for the permanent removal treatment. I went for the permanent one because I definitely don't want it growing back. An extra hundred is worth the investment imo. The procedure finished very quickly. Probably around 10 minutes. Good atmosphere. Recommended. read more

Found Dr Kahan on line and was impressed with his very high ratings here on Yelp. My experience was everything the reviews would have lead me to believe it would be. He is extremely friendly, engaging and spends all the time you need discussing your issue. He treats you like a person-not just a patient. I went in for a problem ingrown toenail that had come off about a year ago and had the same problem this time around. Dr kahan removed the nail, got me patched up and I was out the door in just a few minutes. Went today for a followup and everything is fine and I am on my way to a full recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Kahan for all your Podiatry needs. Dave from Reno read more

I recently had my first ingrown toenail in over 20 years. Because I'm an Australian here without health insurance, I had self-treated for some 6 - 8 weeks, occasionally appearing to be improving my condition, only to see the infection spring out again. With international travel again soon ahead of me, I decided I needed to get professional help. Many of my family and friends back in Australia are GP's and on previous occasions, I'd been treated by them. On seeing the popularity of Podiatrists and the outcomes they've produced for their patients, I found David's reviews to promise much, so I thought I'd move out of my comfort zone and give him a try. I thank God I did. Happily,he delivered magnificently in every way I could wish for. I didn't message him via Yelp until the evening, and by 9.30pm, I had an appointment at 9.30am the next morning. I walked out of his surgery at 10.30am, fairly confident he'd done a good job; in fact, almost a week later, I now feel he's done the best job I've ever had done, and am fairly confident his assurance it will not recur can be relied upon. I am happy to report, this is one very dedicated medical professional who has not allowed the health insurance industry and government distract him from his focus on putting the well being of his patients first, Go no further ...... He's as good as they get! read more

My first visit to Dr. Kahan last week was great. He knew my problem right away and fixed it within minutes without any pain. You can tell he really cares about his patients and making sure they are comfortable during operations. Also I didn't have to wait long and the customer service was great. I would recommend Dr. Kahan to anyone who needs a podiatrist. read more

I was diagnosed with flat feet and Dr. Kahan recommended that I order some custom orthotic inserts made specifically for my feet. When they arrived, I went in to try them on and immediately I felt a big difference. My posture was much improved and my lower back pain that had been bothering me was gone. I now wear them in all my shoes. I highly recommend Dr. Kahan and his friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

Dr Kahan was as advertised. My visit was thorough and I didn't feel rushed at all. Seems genuinely concerned, will be my foot doctor from here on out. read more

I went to this doctor because his reviews were great! I do not have any complaints about Dr. Kahan at all. He is good doctor. He seemed knowledgeable in treating my toenail fungus. On the first appointment, he treated my nail with a laser and told me to come back in a few weeks. Now, the front desk staff is a whole another story. When I made the appointment, the woman on the woman was rude, short and unprofessional. When I went to the appointment, I realize the same woman (juanita) was working. She had this attitude and aggressive vibe about her. I told her I didn't get a chance to fill out the new patient paperwork and she had a smart reply about it. "That's why we send the paperwork to you" is what I believe she said. She finally found my insurance info after half hour of me waiting. Overall, she made me feel so uncomfortable that I told myself I would never want to encounter her again. Therefore, I have not returned to dr kahan. So there you go, your front desk staff is extremely important to your place is business. I have found another podiatrist since then. Its a shame! read more

I wish Dr. Kahan could be my primary physician. He is an unbelievable doctor that truly cares and will not stop until he makes his patients feel better. He is truly the best doctor I have ever had. read more

I can only comment on their customer service, and I think it's outstanding. I was called back by Dr. Kahan, and I was transferred to him, too, the two times I've made contact, and each time was a very pleasant talk with both the receptionist/secretary and the doctor. It turns out that my insurance covers my needs fully, but Dr. Kahan is not under that insurance, so I will go with that instead. However, if I'm disappointed with what I get, I will definitely make Dr. Kahan the next course of action. Thank you for valuing your potential customers to this extent - all in all, an uncommon level of respect and character these days. :) read more

Very pleased with my appointment yesterday. Dr. Kahan was knowledgeable about current treatment modalities, was very nice, spent a lot of time with me and did a very thorough exam of my foot (and shoes!). The art of doing an actual physical exam seems to have been lost by many human doctors - who only seem to rely on diagnostic tests and never touch the patient. It was great to actually have a doctor spend time doing an exam, and asking and answering questions many questions, without making me feel rushed. The receptionist was kind of rude and abrupt on the phone but was a little nicer in person. I'd highly recommend Dr. Kahan. read more

If I could I would give this excellent doctor and his staff 1,000 stars. Dr. Kahan is absolutely the best doctor I have ever had. He and his staff never fail to make me feel welcome. Dr. Kahan is in a class of health care professionals that is extremely difficult to find these days. What I mean by that is this, He cares! He truly does. He has been taking care if my feet for approximately 14 years, and I have NEVER had a bad experience with him or his staff. Amber, Juanita, and Marcia are always welcoming and accommodating, even though they are always busy. So, if you are in need of foot care, my honest and whole hearted opinion is that you won't find a better podiatrist anywhere. Dr. David Kahan and his staff are absolutely the very best! You won't be disappointed. read more

I was struggling to find a Podiatrist to diagnose my foot problem. Couldn't get an appointment, but Dr Kahans office took me right away. Turns out I had a stress fracture and he immediately took care of me. He is very attentive and caring. I would recommend him for all your Podiatry needs read more

Dr. Kahan is terrific, Onychoschizia on my pinky finger was very annoying, I'm very pleased it was treated today with laser. Dr. Kahan saved me so much time in combining my consult with treatment on the same day. Although I'm not a candidate for toenail laser, I now have a resolution with prescription medication to resolve my mild case of fungus. Marsha, your lovely, thank you for taking care of billing. read more

Dr Kahan was awesome! Great to work with and super cool! Would highly recommend him!!
