Compared to my first visit almost ten years ago with Dr. Coyer - which by the way, was a five-star…read moreexperience all around - my most recent visit was less than perfect. It wasn't a completely terrible visit - but it certainly could've been better. OC Podiatry's Irvine office is now based off Sand Canyon/Alton, in the Hoag Hospital Complex - my first visit was at an office off Barranca Pkwy, behind the Green Burrito. Their Hoag office is a fancy setting - modern facility, with plenty of parking - conveniently located off the 405/5. Dr. Coyer wasn't available, so I met with Dr. Tien instead. Dr. Tien was thorough, provided several treatment options for my ingrown toenail (owie) - including a partial nail removal, which was what I ultimately went forward with. While she was friendly, I definitely felt the three pokes while she injected the local anesthetic into my big toe. The actual nail-cutting wasn't completely painless (which you'd think it would be considering the anesthesia). I like to think I have a relatively high pain tolerance level too, considering I had all of my wisdom teeth removed under local, instead of general anesthesia. No major issues with the procedure - not knocking off any stars for that. The issue is the post-op/after visit. Despite being considered "in-network" - I had to pay for everything - the visit and the procedure - upfront, and in full. There wasn't any explanation from the clerk as to why or if my insurance was insufficient. This was new to me - and I think I have decent insurance, it's Blue Cross PPO - I usually see other specialists with a low copay. Luckily I was able to cover the fee - which was several hundred dollars - but getting some sort of price estimate before the procedure is performed, would've been nice. Or a heads up that they expect the full payment upfront. With follow-up questions on whether I need to file the claim with my insurance or not - I tried to reach out to the office, only to get a long winded voice message redirecting me to a loop - same voice message plays regardless of what number I press. It seems like the only way to get a hold of the office is via text only. Which is frustrating - especially when it's regarding something that is probably more efficiently resolvable speaking over the phone vs. texting. So what started off as a great experience - eventually dwindled down to a "could've been better" experience. If you need to see a foot doctor for whatever reason - Drs. Coyer or Tien are great. But just be prepared to deal with the "after" - unless yours is a simple and straightforward visit.

By morning, walking had become quite difficult and uncomfortable.In my distress, I called Pacific Foot and Ankle Center. Loren answered with genuine kindness and urgency. Even though Dr. Petersen already had three patients scheduled, she kindly asked if I could come in within 20 minutes. I was so grateful they were able to accommodate me on such short notice. After a brief wait, Dr. Petersen thoroughly assessed my condition with calm expertise. He ordered X-rays and administered a cortisone injection right away. The relief was impressive, I felt about 20% better almost immediately, and within six hours the pain had decreased by roughly 85%. I was finally able to walk much more comfortably again. Dr. Petersen is a skilled and compassionate specialist who clearly prioritizes his patients. Loren and the entire team were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to help me when I needed it most. They turned a painful, sleepless night and a difficult morning into a day of real relief and appreciation. If you're dealing with foot or ankle issues, I strongly recommend Pacific Foot and Ankle Center and Dr. Petersen. Their responsive, effective care made a significant difference for me, and I'm truly thankful.

Dr. Farajian is a miracle worker!!! Three days before leaving for a vacation to Europe, I was…read morehobbling and could barely walk. My husband and I had been walking daily to prepare for the trip, and I developed a bone spur that caused so much swelling & pain, I thought it was going to ruin my trip. Dr. Farajian squeezed me in for assessment and offered a 2 day plan before leaving. Day 1 Sound Wave shock therapy. Day 2 Dual Laser Therapy. By day three I was on a plane to Paris with a walking boot. My first day in Paris I did use a wheelchair for our visit to the Louvre but by the next day, I was able to walk boot free and pain free for the rest of my trip! Until I took a misstep and fractured my ankle on a castle tour at the end of our trip! I came home in the same boot I left in!!! But, not to worry, after 3 weeks of Laser therapy that Dr. Farajian recommended, I am so thrilled and ecstatic to be walking boot and pain free again with NO SURGERY!!! A massive thank you to Dr. Farajian and her office staff for taking such great care of my foot & ankle issues in a non-invasive and effective manner. These treatments are the real deal! I highly recommend Dr. Farajian and her team for their extraordinary results and personal care and support of their patients! -Renata Green-Gaber

My daughter is 12 and struggles with ingrown toenails on both sides of her big toes. Over the past year, she has required two separate surgical removals on different toes, including an acid application to help prevent the ingrown toenail from returning. At each procedure, the level of care has been exceptional. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Elle Farajian and her entire staff. From the moment we walk in, everyone is warm, patient, and genuinely kind. Scheduling appointments has always been easy, and I've never encountered any insurance or billing issues. Most importantly I feel completely confident that my daughter is receiving the highest quality care. Dr. Farajian takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, never makes us feel rushed, and always listens to concerns. My daughter is understandably nervous during procedures, but the doctor and staff are incredibly reassuring and make her feel comfortable. I highly recommend this practice for both children and adults. If you're looking for compassionate, skilled care in a supportive environment, this is absolutely the place to go.
