Where do I start with this brilliant, compassionate, extremely competent podiatrist/surgeon? As a new patient with a blackened toe, she immediately recognized a serious bacterial infection: osteomyelitis. The end of the toe was unsalvageable. She got me into surgery 2days later- and saved a good part of the toe. She called me the next day (Saturday) to check on me. Her follow-up is caring. Her staff is also terrific. Erica and Emily out front: Erica heard me describe my symptoms on the phone and got me in to the office that afternoon. Debbie is a wonderful and competent PA. read more

Dr Buratti is awesome! She took her time to ask questions, explain in detail and came up with a proper diagnosis. The office staff is professional. The place is very clean. I would say she is one of the best if not the best doctor I have ever seen for medical consultation. read more

Dr. Buratti and her team exceeded my expectations which were already high as I was referred by another podiatrist. Dr. Buratti quickly diagnosed my problem and came up with a solution. She talks to her patients like friends and explains everything clearly and thoroughly. Two weeks ago she injected the bal of my foot with Sculptura and it already feels so much better. If you want a top notch doctor for your feet, look no further. read more

Dr Buratti is one of the best Doctors I have ever seen. She diagnosed my bone infection in my toe after several MDs and hospitals did not find it. I would have lost my toe if not for her. She listens, is compassionate and thorough. read more

If you're fortunate enough to be in her care, you'll quickly realize you've found a doctor who truly is and goes above and beyond! Clearly for her, being a doctor is more than just a profession -- it's a calling! read more

This office is STILL trying to bill me for things I've paid for already almost 6mo later!! They have the most incompetent billing team. They really don't give up scamming you! And act like they don't understand why the patient is mad. And what's more infuriating is that their billing team takes AGES to send you any bill and they have the nerve to tell you that you are so many days past due when in reality their billing team never sent you anything on time. Keep it up ... keep the harassment going! read more

What a fantastic specialist ! Incredible Doctor for my foot pain caused by nail trauma, epic stubbed toes causing improper nail growth. For years my nails have looked ugly and had ridges but thought nothing of it. This cursed year somehow had them growing unnaturally split, where the new nail bed was growing under an old plate. Dr. Buratti explained the whole "what" my problem was, "why" it most likely occurred, "how" to diagnose the issue, and "when" to see her again if the pain comes back or doesn't resolve. She doesn't push for automatically scheduling a follow up, she leaves it to the patient because it takes weeks for nails to grow out new. I really appreciate this bedside manner and giving me full information about my body and what's happening. She's an awesome human and funny too and had no problems with me bringing my husband in the room for the procedure. We were worried it would've required full removal of the entire nail, we got lucky! The office staff and assistant were fantastic in handling and processing our insurance. They practiced all Covid precautions and cleanliness. Was covered in Anthem network and my copay was under $150, the cost of a specialist visit for me. Parking was a bit steep at $4/hour but that's Encino for you. There's public street parking too but I'm going for a possible nail removal, minimal walking is ideal for planning ahead. Would highly recommend Dr. Buratti for your foot problems! read more

Not the doc for someone who valves their time. It took 6 months and a dozen follow-up calls from initial call to final orthopedic insert. Plus each of the 3 appointments had her running close to an hour behind. My spouse needed an adjustment to insert and is still waiting additional months. All I can say is when she does see you she is knowledgeable. read more

If only all doctors were as thorough, patient, and caring as Dr. Buratti. I was there for a while and could hear her with other patients explaining everything so sweetly so they would understand. She did the same with me. She's a genuinely real/good person and doctor. I can't say enough about how great she is. read more

They never ever never answer the phone. Went with another office and it was perfect. Fixed my daughter's foot and she is happy.

I wish I had met Dr. Buratti when I was a younger woman! I could have avoided some of the issues I have today. Dr. Buratti is extremely competent. I learned more about my feet from her in 30 minutes than I had learned in 67 years (however she gave me even more time and never made me feel rushed even though it was past closing)! She is an exceptional communicator and clearly explained my diagnosis and the plan to solve my problems - and it has been 100% effective. She is knowledgeable as well as personable and thoughtful. Her offices are so comfortable and welcoming. Her staff were also organized, efficient and polite. I wish I had known her when I had my bunion surgery a couple of years ago by a different doctor - I just know it would have had a better end result. Don't hesitate to book an appointment with this doctor - I can't imagine you will be disappointed. (It did take over a month to get a first visit appointment, but it was worth the wait!) read more

Dr. Buratti and her office staff will not submit a pre-authorization to your insurance, even when there's a ​medical need. Expect to pay out-of-pocket and for the money to go Dr. Buratti. Despicable​ person. read more

Came to Dr. Burratti's office the other day because I had a problem with my foot. I have to say she was so nice and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions completely without a rush and was so thorough. read more

A friend recommended me to see Dr. Buratti when I was looking for a doctor to perform a Bunionectomy on both my feet. I've seen several doctors before and research the subject a lot. Dr. Buratti is an extremely pleasant person with great bedside manners. She is very advanced and came out with an amazing new procedure for bunion removal, Fast Forward Bunionectomy . Her procedure made so much sense and she believed in it so much that I've decided to go for it and so far I'm very pleased. I'm 6 weeks post my first surgery and one week post my second surgery. My right foot looks amazing, Better than my expectations. Dr. Buratti takes all the time you need to explain to procedure in the outmost details. She will answer any question with a lot of patience.

Just started up with her. I have had a lot of people try to help me in the past. But the moment she touched my feet I knew I was in the right place. UPDATE - I am making amazing progress. I just got my second pair of inserts and they feel great. I am now pain free for the first time in almost a year. And the numbness in my foot is subsiding as well. read more

I went in to have insoles made for my sore feet! I was so impressed with Dr. Buratti's staff! So professional and the office was super clean which I like seeing! She couldn't have been more honest about my feet and what I needed. She informed me of the future of what I will need to get done and told me not to worry now. She was so honest and showed me my feet xrays that day and then they texted me my feet so I always had em on my phone and email. I told her I was switching to Kaiser and she told me the operation I would need and gave me the xrays to take to the surgeon there when I switched insurance. She helped my sore feet these new custom insoles are amazing!!! I feel so much better. She truly is a skilled and super focused Doc! I highly recommend her to all my friends now. I just cannot thank her enough! read more

Dr Buratti is a fantastic podiatrist! I am so happy I went to her as I almost went to an Ortho again. I'm very impressed! The office staff was great, the office is clean and parking is easy. She spent so much time with me- more so than an Ortho did for my plantar fasciitis back 7 years ago when it first flared up. She is very knowledgable and fully explains in a simple manner exactly what is goin on and what my treatment options are. She offered stretches, therapies and gave me a free laser treatment. I recommend her 1000%. I will trust my feet to her care from now on. read more

Dr. Buratti was amazing! She took the time and explained my foot problems as well as a plan to feel better. If you have issues with your feet you must see her! Can wait to follow the plan so I can feel better and get back to my old self! read more

Dr. Buratti is beyond comparison. I went to Many doctors for my heel and big toe problems on both feet. She is the most caring patient doctor and explained all my options for having surgery, not having surgery and what I can do if I don't have surgery. She is making me better orthotics than I have and also gave me other medical options for pain. She is an "old school" doctor in this new world. None of the others are like this. You really feel like you are her only patient. Don't waste your time, money, and energy like I have done if you want the doctor's doctor. read more

Both my husband and I have received care from Dr. Buratti over the last two years and the level of her care is the best we've experienced in Los Angeles. She takes her time with her patients, explains science and anatomy in layman's terms and is incredibly thoughtful in the way she engages with her patients. She is timely in her response to emails or phone calls and offers more than one solution in addressing your ailments. I have never had any issues with billings/co-pays/insurance which is miraculous and she communicates very clearly procedures that may not be covered by insurance and quotes costs up front. So grateful to be her patient and to have access to her superior level of care. read more

Very excellent staff here. Dr Buratti is very knowledgeable and kind. Explained things very well, and very gentle. Would definitely recommend to anyone to come here. read more

Dr. Buratti is the best podiatrist I've ever been to, I've had a bone spur on the top of my right foot for years that became so painful I couldn't exercise any longer. I play a lot of basketball and the pain became too much to handIe. I was recommended to Dr. Buratti and am I glad I went to see her. From my first visit she took the time to explain what was going on in my foot by helping me understand the mechanics of my foot and went over with me all the options I had to correct the problem. I finally decided to have her operate on my foot to shave down the spur. My recovery took a few months but I am now pain free and back to playing basketball. If you are having foot issues go see Dr. Buratti! read more

Dr. Buratti saw me on a Saturday. That's right, a Saturday. And when I left after the most comprehensive doctor's appointment I ever had, I not only felt physically better but also felt incredibly confident that her game plan for my treatment would get me to where I wanted to be effectively and efficiently. I could not recommend Dr. B more highly. read more

Dr. Buratti you are amazing! Thank you for correcting my toe nail that I cut wrong. I was in pain and limping and after seeing you, I am doing 100% better. I greatly appreciate you and your kind words walking me through the procedure. I will highly recommend you to others. read more

I went in for concerns about a bunion on one foot and had inserts made for both feet. My visit and inserts cost $565 but is $87 more with insurance because there are different costs depending on whether you use insurance or not. My issue cannot really be corrected or reversed, only slightly managed and monitored. I took off from work to make it to the appointment and the wait was an hour but the doctor did eventually see me after office hours. I don't think I had a drastic enough issue that would benefit from a podiatrist--I wish this was something I could be told from a phone call but I understand that it's more complicated than that. I just thought I could do something to prevent further damage but this is apparently not the way bunions work. read more

I've never had a doctor take so much time and care in explaining my problem. I happened to have a unexpected afternoon off. The podiatrist I was referred and approved to see was off for 2 weeks. Her kind staff was able to work me in to her schedule that day and when I came in, I was not made to feel rushed. Thank you! Dr. Buratti is also an excellent sales person. read more

Dr Buratti has got to be the best podiatrist out there. I have been to several and she is the only one that diagnosed the problem I had and put me on the correct medication, She took her time to explain what was happening , she didn't rush me thru the appt, and she was very gentle and truly cared if I was alright, She took X-rays which no one had done before and was able to quickly analysis the problem.. She is wonderful AS is her office staff!!! read more

Dawn Buratti, DPM is the BEST!! I contemplated bunion surgery for over a decade before she did her unique technique on me called the Fast Forward bunion surgery. I was scared of orthopedic surgery as I had a bad outcome with a spine surgery in 2001. So, I kept researching the differences between the endless number of bunion surgeries that are available. I wanted a surgery that breaks no normal bones nor fuses a healthy joint. Believe it or not almost all foot surgery for bunion correction does one of these two. Not Dr. Buratti. Instead, I had the her Fast Forward surgery which tethers 2 bones together. It is now 9 months since my foot surgery, and I am doing amazingly. I am back to doing any sports I want with no pain. If you choose the Fast Forward surgery, know that that does not mean "Immediate Forward". My success was because I waited months before returning to any walking for exercise (or other sports activities). I would choose Dr. Buratti again in a heartbeat! She is patient, warm, & kind! read more

I suffered for years with severe multiple ingrown nails , always resulting in infections and pain when walking. So after reading so many outstanding reviews , and knowing two former patient's , I made the appointment because it was finally time to do something. Dr. Buratti saw how much pain I was in , and how far the infection had spread . Dr. Buratti then explained all my treatment options and once I had decided , she began treatment immediately. Their staff is friendly and efficient...Their medical office and examination rooms are new and totally spotless...I'm so lucky to have found this gifted professional with such a nice chair-side manner. Doctor Dawn cured forty years of pain , in two out-patient visits... Thank you so much. read more

I can not say enough about Dr. Buratti and her office staff. They are the most efficient, helpful, kind, caring office. Dr. Buratti is an excellent doctor and surgeon. Dr. Buratti did everything possible to get rid of my foot/heel pain. She spent so much time with me in her office. I never felt like i was rushed or hurried. She puts more than 100% of herself into her patients and it works. I am finally without pain in either foot and i owe it to Dr. Buratti. I even sent my son and husband to her office for issues they had and they were treated excatly the same. Dr. Buratti did double foot surgery on my son and did an excellent job. He is currently back to his normal...running! I want to personally thank Dr. Buratti and her wonderful staff and office for being there for my family thru all our feet issues. Thank you so much! read more

Dr. Buratti is amazing!! While on vacation I accidentally stepped on a sea urchin and got about 18 spikes stuck in my heel. When I got home, I went in to see Dr. Buratti and she was wonderful.

I cannot say enough great things about her and her staff. Thank you so much, Dr. Buratti!! read more

This was the best doctor visit I have ever had. Dr. Buratti spent so much time explaining my different options for treatment.

I could not recommend a podiatrist more. Plus, she is so pleasant!! read more

As a Type I Diabetic since childhood, I have been coming to see Dr Buratti for 15+ years. She has been treating me for diabetic-related foot concerns. More recently, she has treated me for severe pressure wounds that developed on my heels, both of which were serious Stage 4 wounds. Because of Dr Buratti's expertise in podiatry, my feet were both saved from potential amputation. Her personal attention was critical to my getting thru this yearlong ordeal. She is a rare breed, a doctor who truly cares about the welfare of her patients! read more

Dr Buratti FIXED my feet. At 60 yrs, walking the golf course and hiking became difficult with serious bunions on both feet. She patiently answered my questions/concerns and consultations with other orthopedic surgeons. I am now 7 weeks post surgery, walking in tennis shoes with orthotics, still recovering with slight puffiness if i stand too long, but i HAVE NEW FEET! Absolutely no reservations to recommend her - and her staff is great, too! read more
