I read some of the reviews for this doctor prior to my visit and, to be honest, I was a little…read moreskeptical. What a relief! He was/is AMAZING! He is kind, funny, relatable, attentive and explained the procedure fully and was willing to take the time to answer all of my questions putting me at ease. Incredible would be an understatement. There are no words to fully describe my experience with this doctor. I had one foot done and it went so well I had the other done too!! Now as far as the office staff, WOW! He is so very lucky to have them on his team. As for the negative reviews, not sure what doctor they saw. Maybe they were having a really bad day or posted on the wrong doctor. I can always find something to nit pik at and have written some whopper reviews. But this was not the case with this doctor. If I could have given him beyond five stars I would have. THANK YOU DR.

Allen, a respected PT, spoke highly of Dr. Tanaka and I now understand why. In addition to his friendly and helpful staff, he is a responsive and experienced Podiatrist who listens to his patients. He was also interested in understanding my history. His diagnostic skills were impressive, quickly identifying my issue and providing reassurance that it could be addressed with approachable daily exercises and a topical gel. I left feeling confident that my needs had been responsibly addressed and with hope that my nagging pain and discomfort will soon be in the rear view mirror.

However, the last time I ordered duplicates, the order was lost and it took over 2 months to get the replacements, then the doctor wasn't available and they still weren't exact replicas. It was a huge hassle both getting them fit and making an appointment with the podiatrist. The podiatrist blamed it on the company that makes them.

I was able to get an appointment within two days of when I called which blew me away. When I arrived I had quite a bit of paperwork. I could have done it online but it just kept crashing. I was never able to submit any information ahead of time. The waiting room was chock full of patients. Just from the crowd, it was clear there was going to be a wait. Given my low expectations, they called me way earlier than I was expecting. My appointment was with Dr. Sukhranjan Nijjar, DPM. She was very professional and explained the situation very clearly. I found it easy to talk to her and she answered my questions very well. Unfortunately her diagnosis was clearly aligned with my advice nurse and my emergency room doctor. She then recommended what I thought was a pretty aggressive treatment schedule. But then I discovered if treatment were neglected, I might face possible amputation of my limbs, kidney failure, and blindness. OK early aggressive treatment is clearly called for. Not that I was happy. Well rats! Sigh.

He cut me in three different places it's just crappy so instead of making it better he made it worse cause now I have a bigger mass of skin underneath my foot and it still hurts but worse now so don't go to him.

Through all the visits and real pain and complaints I had, not ONCE did she actually touch my foot, not once. Not to feel where the problems were, ask about it more etc. If that wasn't bad enough, she made ZERO after care notes, now wrote ANY notes of the office visit- seriously.. there are NO notes in the myhealth portal at all. Only BP, Height and weight. So weird that a Podiatrist doesn't touch your feet, even worse there's no record of ANYTHING on file. I went to another Dr and WOW what a difference! Specific issues were addressed she actually examined my foot, made suggestions and made a difference. Forget Kaplan, she's a joke!
