Considering how much pain I was in that was the last thing I wanted to hear. However, the condescending man didn't believe I was in pain. When he prodded my kneecap and asked if it hurt and I said yes, he responded with "oh, you're really selling it aren't you." He patronizingly didn't go over options, except to offer a cortisone shot. It was a humiliating experience, being dismissed with the feeling "come back when you're really in pain and there's an actual issue.' All topped off by a snide parting comment from the nurse insinuating if I was really in pain I wouldn't be wearing those shoes. Thank goodness for second opinions. I went to a doctor several friends recommended. He actually went over my MRI results with me, explaining each result including Grade IV chondromalacia. He went over possible treatments and the pros and cons of each and to take my time deciding which path I wanted to go down. Basically, he talked to me like an adult and not like a recalcitrant child wanting surgery for the fun of it. Please don't go to Polakof, find a doctor who will treat you with respect.

I sat in his exam room engaging with united healthcare to authorize orthotics for nearly 2 hours. His staff amended in and out saying the need the room but Dr. Levi asked them to be patient. He doesn't need to work, you a tell that from his success and all the celebrity letters. He does it for the passion. He's also pragmatic, isn't 'hand-wavy' with new tech, and focuses on fundamentals. For example, he used traditional hand casts for orthotics vs. lasers. Gotta say, I like these. The only minor area for improvement is the administrative side; the office a digital experience for tracking billing, viewing receipts, or managing records online. It's a bit of a manual process, but honestly, for the level of care and expertise Dr. Levi provides, it is a very small price to pay. If you want a podiatrist who actually cares about the 'why' behind your pain, this is the place to go.

Dr Mary Trumpi, Dora, Trudy and her team are excellent all around!!…read more I initially was a physical therapy skeptic (due to a poor previous experience several years ago in the Bay Area), but Dr Trumpi has made me a believer! I rolled my ankle last summer and I thought I could just handle the recovery on my own... but 4 months on, my ankle was still 2x the size and constantly bothering me to where I couldn't sleep. Before being totally resigned to having to buy different sized shoes for the rest of my life, I finally asked my primary doctor for a referral, but the clinic recommended had a 4 month waitlist and did not accept my insurance. So I went to my trusty Yelp search and Santa Monica Sports Medicine was the top result, and so I decided to book an appointment. Calling the office was a breeze and I had an appointment within a couple weeks. They kept prompt communication and verified my insurance benefits right away, which amazingly helpful (I've experienced many doctor offices that just leave you on your own and tell you to call insurance yourself before booking an appointment). When I came for my first appointment, I was surprised to be seen by Dr Trumpi herself, because I felt my injury was fairly minor... also I couldn't even say it was a sharp pain, just more an annoyance to daily life. Dr Trumpi took her time with me even though asking lots of questions and I felt immediately comfortable with her and that I was in good hands. She wrote up an exercise plan and walked me through a variety of in clinic treatment options and tailored everything to my comfort level, from massage to electrical stimulation and so on. I continued every couple weeks with her and was amazed how quickly my ankle improved. I no longer was resolved to have to buy different sized shoes! She also started treating me for my chronic back pain -- which again, I never thought was a big deal --just life soreness haha, but I now know it's actually something treatable. Thank you Santa Monica Sports Medicine!

Every single staff member has been wonderful! We adore Stevie! He's been great when we come in for Sports Massage (which is an hour long and so thorough). The staff has been so accommodating with insurance and even if you don't have insurance the out of pocket is SUCH a good deal for all the different types of care you'll recieve! Dr.Trumpi herself is such a wonderful human being and is just the coolest most down to earth person and doctor. I kid you not, the first adjustment/ "back crack" I received from her I was in tears of joy afterwards. I felt amazing and it actually lasted! I can't thank her enough for the difference she's made for us both. We come in fairly regularly for sports massage and adjustments and always look forward to it. Thank you so much to everyone at "Santa Monica Sports Medicine"! I couldn't recommend them more and I'll continue sharing with everyone I know.

Having recently been dealing with shoulder pain I opted to see him for some feedback. Everyone had told me what a great doctor he is but getting to meet him and seeing his bedside manner firsthand made me wholeheartedly agree with them. Dr. Millstein took his time to go over my images and reports and thankfully told me that all I need is Physical Therapy (not surgery) to get better. He was very forthright, knowledgeable and welcoming and encouraged me that I can always reach out to him personally should I have any questions or concerns. Dr. Millstein really cares about his patients. It is evident from the second you meet him that he really is there to help you and not push for surgery unless it's needed. It is not often that I meet a doctor who is not only skilled in his expertise, but also a very genuine and caring person. Dr. Millstein definitely fits the bill! P.S. Dr. Millstein recently moved his practice to a beautiful and stylishly designed office in Santa Monica with breathtaking views. Honestly, it was one of the most gorgeous medical offices I've ever seen!

I've taken my daughter multiple times over several years and her relief has always been immediate, each time. Prolotherapy gave her a life, after she had been suffering over a year and there's nothing else out there like it. I do give her something to relax before, because it is quite a few injections in her neck (C spine) the problem area. She has hypermobility and no curve in her neck, and is 22 years old. The office staff and assistants are courteous and there's even a little cafe inside the building which is nice.
