I am writing this review on behalf of my sister as she is in the surgery room at the moment. My sister was referred to Dr. Jason because her initial doctor wanted a second opinion regarding her fracture. She had already undergone an X-ray, but he requested another one, just to be sure. After reviewing it, he sent her home stating that the fracture was in the cuboid bone and that no surgery or circulation medication was needed, only painkillers will do it he said. She relied on this advice for over three weeks. Now her foot turned blue and she lost movement in her toes. A second specialist is now confirming that the fracture was actually in the medial malleolus and immediately admitted her for emergency surgery, informing her that she was at risk of losing her toes and foot. read more

Made an appointment and when I arrived to the appointment I was told 20 minutes later that the Dr left for the day! My dad called an hour later to try and make himself an appointment but was told Dr left 30 minutes ago like what!??? I was just there 1 hour ago and he wasn't there anymore terrible way to cover up! It wasn't the first time and office fails to notify to cancel the appointment on time which is the upsetting part! This has happened more than once this just reminds me why I had stopped coming to this office which lacks professionalism it's so upsetting! read more

I had two bunions that I had removed with Dr. Hakakian. One was in 2018 and the other was couple months ago this year. I'm very happy with my results, the surgery went smoothly both times and recovery was fast as well. I was walking with crutches by day 3 and within less than a week I didn't need crutches any longer. In two weeks I was working out and wore heels as if nothing ever happened! I believe it's because of Dr. H approach, he places a screw in place so the bone doesn't grow back over time and additional surgeries aren't needed. I not only was insecure about he way the bunions made my feet look but I am so happy that I am no longer in pain which was more important to resolve. read more

Staff is professional and courteous. Dr. Hakakian is very nice and makes you feel at ease. It's the latest in nail fungus treatment, if you choose not to use medication. It's worth a try. I will need more then 1 treatment. My appointment has already been made. Laser treatment can be discomforting because you will feel the heat. But you have the choice to stop when you can't handle the heat. Approximately 15 min per foot. By my 2nd foot I didn't stop. Minor discomfort after treatment. In a few hours it went away. read more

Dr. Fardin Hakakian is very friendly, very knowledgeable! He made sure to answer all my questions! The staff was very professional. Everything was very quick and easy. Coming from a very picky person I loved how i was treated here so looking forward to come for my next appointment! Thank you read more

I initially found Dr. Hakakian through a Groupon that I purchased. I am embarrassed to say that I had fungus on one of my toes, GU-ROSS, most likely from one of these nasty nail shops that I visited when I was looking for a nail shop "home". My first appointment I was greeting by their friendly staff, filled out some paperwork and then escorted to one of the back rooms. Dr. Hakaian immediately came in, I didn't have to wait at all. He inspected my toe, explained the procedure and assured me that within about 6 months the fungus will be completely gone, however no toenail polish during this time for better results. The only thing running through my mind was "OH No! closed toe shoes for 6 months" ewe! All I wear are sandals and open toed shoes. The laser treatment can be a bit painful initially, but now that I have been a few times I am used to it. They do give you a "panic" button to push if the pain becomes unbearable. I am happy to report my toe is coming along beautifully and almost completely done...the best part is it's only been about 3 months. During my last appointment Dawn? I believe her name is, informed me of new products that they have for purchase, and mentioned that there is no pressure to buy she just wanted to make sure that I knew they now have them in stock. read more

Fardin Hakakian, DPM - Ewe! This is a picture from my first appointment...final picture soon to come! - Podiatrists Near Me - Tarzana, California

I don't tolerate unprofessional behavior, incompetence or deception and tend to use this platform to warn others of such.

My son had bunion removal surgery two years ago and Dr Hakakian did an amazing job. 3 weeks ago I did my right foot and I am doing so good. I took Norco only for two days and after one week start walking. I still have some discomfort but after 3 weeks, I walk, drive, and doing all my chores. Thanks to Dr Hakakian and his fantastic staff. I highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Hakakian is an excellent foot doctor. He also has a great bedside manner. I never had to wait that long in the waiting area because he stays on top of his schedule (waiting a long time at Dr.'s offices is a big "pet peeve" of mine). I also liked that he is the one that personally comes and gets you from the waiting room (not a staff member followed by even more waiting). All my office visits lasted less than a half hour, but all my questions were answered thoroughly at each visit. His staff is also very friendly. His office is cozy, modern, clean, and beautifully decorated. I had surgery on my right foot four weeks ago and he performed the surgery. I had fractured the foot the previous fall and it had formed a huge bunion that was causing me a tremendous amount of pain. I am very physically active. I hike, I dance, and I work out several days each week. However, the pain really had an affect on my lifestyle. It also affected me when I drove. Sitting in traffic became unbearable because of the constant breaking. I live in Long Beach and would not have normally driven to the Valley to see a doctor. However, I qualified for a bunion study at Lotus Clinical Trials and that's how I met Dr. Hakakian. He did a great job repairing my foot. It looks and feels great. He also was very aggressive with my follow-up care. He had me in regular shoes and off crutches a week after surgery. It was painful and I did not want to walk on it, but I am glad that I did. He also made me message my foot several times a day so I wouldn't develop scar tissue (which is like cement). I have a smaller bunion on my left foot that I plan on having him fix in a few months after I healed a little more from my surgery. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know that is having issues with their feet. read more

I had bunion surgery 6 days ago out of the boot foot is wrapped looks beautiful! Absolutely amazing results read more

I am about to leave on a trip, and have had an in-grown toe nail that has been increasingly painful over the last month. I finally called this morning, and they were able to schedule an appointment with me the same day. Dr. Hakakian was extremely fast to get me in (even a little earlier than my appointment time), and I learned he's been doing this for 25+ years. He was super kind, understood my nervousness and really made the removal easy on me. He numbed my toe (super well, didn't hurt at all) and I was in and out of there in under 30 minutes. Excellent podiatrist, highly recommended! read more

Dr H was really amazing. I was very hesitant about going in to see him in the first place because I hate going to the Doctors office however he was the most kind and wonderful doctor. His staff was awesome especially Bertha. Parking was great. There were a ton of meters all around the building and the building was super easy to find. They answered all my questions and explained the process step by step. The office was also super clean and friendly (which is important for someone like me who hates going to the doctor) Definitely would recommend seeing him for any foot issues! read more

Dr Hakarian is a great doctor , very personable with an amazing front desk staff Truly a quick , painless , well explained procedure! Thank you so much for your help !! read more

Best Podiatrist ever!!! Thank you so much Dr Hakakian and staff! No pain at all. read more

I just found out he charged my insurance for a telehealth call when we never had a telehealth call! Avoid him.

I highly recommend Dr. Hakakian. I purchased a Groupon for one toe treatment and continue to receive treatments at an affordable cost. Dr. Hakakian is very nice and has years of experience. He thoroughly explains the process. I have seen results on my toe nail. You will regret for not coming sooner. read more

I have seen couple of podiatrist before I came to Dr Hakakian. I would say he is the most honest, professional and kind doctor. His staff is amazing, all of them very sweet. read more

Dr. Hakakian is a ball of joy! I appreciate the patience and knowledge he gave me. He truly cares for his patients and doesn't care about the checks. The staff and office wants you to leave satisfied!!! If you don't like something speak up and don't wait to post a negative review. Nadia and Susie (staff/front desk) are INCREDIBLE AND GO ABOVE AND BEYOND! They're so welcoming and always at your service. I'm only on my 3rd treatment and I CAN TELL A DIFFERENCE! Thank you for your assistance, this place is truly a hidden gem. read more

This doctors office is absolutely wonderful. From my initial phone call to checking out of my first visit everyone was awesome. They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They answered all of my questions and were compassionate to my foot situation and understood the feelings of embarrassment I was dealing with. I couldn't say anything negative or bad about this place. Hats off to the doctor, staff and management! I would definitely refer my friends and family here. read more

I had a great experience here. Dr. Hakakian is very professional and nice. All the employees are very helpful and sweet. I would recommend coming here! read more

Dr. H is great. Gentle and readurring. I liked each detail. Highly recommend Jennifer G. read more

Four years ago I had a bunionectomy with Dr. Hakakian and the results are so far amazing. My main issue prior to surgery was that the bunions on my feet were hurting/throbbing due to long distance running and wearing heels. Last week, I decided to remove the other bunion on my right foot and recovery has been pretty good. Dr. Hakakian answered all my questions and he gave me every detail to the surgery. He was very gentle with my foot (post surgery). He is very friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. Great experience with Dr. Hakakian and great work! read more

I had bunion surgery on 1/8/18 by Dr. Hakakian. My surgery was a success, I had no pain after surgery and I'm completely satisfied with my results read more

Dr. Hakakian and his staff are great. Excellent after care! Everybody was so helpful and friendly. I would recommend Dr. Hakakian to anyone that has a foot problem. If you want happy toes go to Dr. Hakakian. read more

Amazing!! I bought a Groupon for the first time. It was truly a great experience. The doctor was absolutely amazing. The staff was amazing. They went over everything about the laser and treatment. They answered all my questions and concerns.The procedure takes about 15mins. It's not painful. A little discomfort for a few seconds and that's it. It's not a big deal. It's pretty painless.They have the best prices and great service. Truly a great experience. Highly recommend. Thanks Laura read more

I'd love to review him but he's "not taking any new patients." I wouldn't hold that against him, but at first when I asked if they were taking new patients, the receptionist said "yes, of course!" in a cheery voice. Then when I explained that it was for basic foot care for my elderly parents, including my mother who has early Alzheimer's, her mood totally changed and she put me on hold and then came back and said "ummmm....actually I went to check, and he's actually not taking any new patients..." Really now? Hmmmmmm. read more

I had surgery on my foot about two years ago which caused major damage to my toenails, Dr. Hakakian was more knowledgeable and more detailed than my original surgeon on helping me with information and getting my toes to look the way they used to pre-surgery! Not gonna go into details what I had done but after my first 4 initial treatments, I wasn't 100% satisfied with my results and he offered to give me another for free. He cares about his patients, takes time to talk to them and makes sure they are happy. The front desk, the nurses, everyone there is so enjoyable and lovely and very organized! Highly recommend! They also changed their location to a new office, the first one was super nice and very clean but it was in a huge shared building - this one a suite on its own and is amazing!!!! Very modern, very elegant, and again super clean! Park in the back, it'll show you suite A. New address is - 19228 Ventura Blvd. , Suite A. read more

Dr. Hakakian did the best job in removing my bunion and strightening my foot. I received very gentle care from the doctor and his wonderful staff. They not only did a great job in making sure I healed properly, they (especially the doctor) answered all of my questions and listened to everything I had to say about my recovery. I also received excellent advise on caring for my foot after the surgery. I have another problem with my foot and am going to Dr. Hakakian next year to have that taken care of as well. read more

Terrible experience Unprofessional and dismissive. Purchased a voucher for my mother and the technician/doctor was quite rude and refused to complete purchased service if she did not purchase additional services. In the voucher terms and conditions it was not noted that additional services would be necessary. The voucher was clearly a ploy to talk people into spending more money, and that's fine, but they should perform the service they have been paid to complete. Looks like at least a couple of the other reviews are fake and scripted. read more

Very clean, the people that speak with you are patient and really try to inform you on the process and procedures. Will continue to use and recommend. Thank you Dr Fardin Hakakain and staff! read more

I purchase and used Groupon years ago. Never wrote a review back then. Office staff was nice. Never met the doctor. After 4 sessions I decided to stop my treatment because I didn't see any changes. I strictly followed protocol. treatment just didn't work. Was disappointed. read more

My husband came in to see Dr. Hakakian for a consultation. My husband had an accident at work 7 years ago and hurt his ankle. He came to see Dr Hakakian because he is still in pain after all this time and we were recommended to him by our friend. We went to the consultation last week, the staff greeted us with big smiles and were very attentive, being it was our first time. We only waited 10min to be seen after filling out all the new patient forms. Dr Hakakian came in and greeted us with such a positive attitude, he checked his ankle and took xrays. After seeing different doctors and not getting any explanation of why he had continued pain, Dr. Hakakian was able to let us know the cause of the pain, he had a hair line fracture that was never treated properly. Thank you so much doctor for going above and beyond to be able to give my husband finally a piece of mind. I highly recommend this doctor to anyone. read more

After reading so many positive reviews about Dr Hakikian, I decided to book a consultation with him. I went it on a Friday morning, I was very pleased with the dr and he explained to me how the procedure would be in details. I decided to book my surgery date with him right away (which was the following Friday) I went in for my surgery and so far so good..he is honest, experienced, board certified Dr. I'm going to do my second bunion surgery with him once my right foot is back to normal again. I would highly recommend this dr. Staff are nice as well. Thank you Dr Hakikian!!!!! read more

Got a groupon for Toe Nail Fungus removal that stated "Typically, one treatment is sufficient to kill the fungus" after taking the day off work for a Monday appt I found out at my consultation it would be a minimum of 5 treatment at a substantially hight cost and was then refused and told to go through Groupon for a refund which I was declined for as it was past three days after original purchase. This is a bait and switch operation! read more

Dr. Hakakian performed my bunionectomy. He did an amazing job! Very little downtime which is important because I am an X-ray tech and am on my feet all day for my job! I was back on my feet within less than a week. Can't even see a scar where he made the incision!! My foot is healing very nicely. Great job Dr. H. I would highly recommend Dr.Hakakian! read more

Two weeks ago I had bunion removal surgery and I am happy with the result. He is a great doctor and a wonderful person. I'm glad he is my doctor read more

Great treatment from Dr. Hawaiian. Went to Dr. Hakakian with a GroupOn coupon for one LASER treatment on my feet. After the first treatment he recommended two subsequent treatments, accepting the same GroupOn coupon fee, which I found quite reasonable. After the recommended third treatment, he offered a fourth treatment, but this time complimentary, which I found quite reasonable as well. His office and equipment are state-of-the-art, his staff serviceable and graceful. My great toe, where the fungal-removing treatment was applied, appears to be getting much better. All in all, I'm very satisfied with Dr. Hakakian's treatment and thus I highly recommend his services. read more

Dr. Hakakian and his staff are terrific. My foot WOW! If you've been considering foot surgery and are experiencing apprehension, please don't be. Dr. Hakakian has a lovely manner, warm smile, and most importantly, brilliant hands. I had surgery one week ago and am walking and back into my shoes. Little to no pain experienced. My foot is beautiful!!! 5/14/18: Update- back in heels. So impressed with the outcome of my foot surgery. read more
