He carefully explained my options, recommended the right orthotics and footwear for my needs, and made sure everything fit comfortably. The difference has been incredible, and my feet feel so much better. Karim was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about helping me find the best solution. The customer service was outstanding from start to finish, and I never felt rushed or pressured. If you're dealing with foot pain or need quality orthotics, I highly recommend The Shoe Clinic and especially Karim. Thank you again for all your help!

I paid in advance for my shoe repair - $48 for new, shoe bottoms, which seemed expensive. The heels…read moreon the shoes were fine, which is why I did not ask for them to be repaired. They are ballroom dance shoes, so the front part of the shoe bottom was worn, but the heel was not. When I picked up my shoes, he said I owed him an additional $20 for heel repair, which the shoes did not need. He said his worker told him that the heels were in bad shape, but they were not, or I would've asked for them to be repaired when I dropped them off. I am not dumb. I know what my shoes needed, and they did not need heels. If there was an increase in the charge, he could have asked me before the work was completed, and I would've declined the extra unnecessary work. Total scam. I do remember him being unfriendly the last time I came here for business. I thought I would give his shop one more try. No thank you. I will never go there again. FYI, I just did a quick Google search and this behavior is illegal under multiple CA consumer protection areas: Breach of Contract (Common Law) California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) California Unfair Competition Law (UCL) It is also a Federal Trade Commission violation.

I came to Dr. Bastani after a foot injury that was later diagnosed as an intra-articular fracture…read more Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling rushed and unsupported throughout my care. From the start, I had to push for an MRI when my symptoms weren't improving, which he at first kept claiming was unnecessary. When the MRI finally showed a fracture, Dr. Bastani told me he didn't believe it -- that it was probably a radiology error because he had ordered a "lower-grade" MRI. He wanted me to just ignore the diagnosis. I had to advocate for myself again just to get him to follow up with the radiologist. He eventually ordered a CT scan, which confirmed the fracture. Even after that, he didn't offer a clear treatment plan. When I asked whether I should continue walking on the injury or be immobilized, his advice was essentially "It's 50/50 -- you can choose." I felt like I was being left to make medical decisions alone without proper guidance. I was told that Dr. Bastani follows a "conservative" approach, but in my experience, that felt more like avoidance than thoughtful care. When I brought up valid concerns about long-term joint health and arthritis, I wasn't given a clear plan --that isn't what conservative care should look like. Conservative medicine should still involve communication, reassurance, and a willingness to guide the patient. Instead, I was left to carry the uncertainty on my own. Every visit felt rushed, and I never felt like he took the time to understand my full history or concerns. With a nerve injury already affecting my gait, and a fracture that involved a joint, I needed someone willing to look at the full picture -- not someone who seemed eager to move to the next patient. I wouldn't recommend Dr. Bastani to anyone dealing with a complex injury or long-term healing concerns. In the end, I sought a second opinion that gave me a much clearer understanding of my healing status and a more personalized recovery plan. If you have a straightforward injury, Dr. Bastani may work for you, but if you have concerns that require clear communication, detailed care, or support navigating something more than a basic sprain, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

I had an outstanding experience at Orange County Podiatry. When I called to schedule an…read moreappointment, I honestly didn't expect to be seen so quickly. The staff offered me the choice of a same-day appointment or one the following day. I chose the next day, and the scheduling process was incredibly easy and convenient. From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming and professional. Check-in was quick, and I was called back to the exam room within minutes. Shortly after, Dr. Yang came in, which I really appreciated because I wasn't left waiting like I have been at many other medical offices. Dr. Yang took the time to explain my options for treating my pinky toe. He explained the difference between removing the ingrown portion of the nail, which would eventually grow back, and performing a permanent procedure that involved numbing my toe, removing the nail, and applying acid to prevent it from growing back. He made sure I understood everything before moving forward. What impressed me the most was that I didn't expect the procedure to be done that same day. Based on my past experiences with other doctors, I assumed I would only be evaluated and then have to schedule another appointment for the actual procedure. Instead, Dr. Yang was able to take care of everything during my visit. I really appreciated not having to come back for a second appointment, which saved me both time and the cost of another copay. My entire visit, including check-in, the consultation, and the procedure was completed in less than an hour. It's refreshing to find a medical office that values patients' time while still providing exceptional care. I highly recommend Orange County Podiatry and Dr. Yang. The entire staff was friendly, efficient, and caring, and they made what could have been a stressful visit a smooth and positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for excellent podiatry care.

Great bedside manner, knew his stuff, clear, patient with me, explained things clearly, and suggested treatment that aligned with a doctor I'd been recently treated by, Dr. Hattan (who was the second doctor I saw after visiting a terrible doctor Dr. Petersen of Pacific Foot and Ankle Center who, from my experience, shouldn't be practicing medicine!). It is extraordinarily important to shop around for good doctors, especially when it comes to your health and such a wide variety of medical professionals out there. Dr. Kolondenker is a top-rate doctor in every way, and it shows. Now I have two great podiatrists to make up for the one bad one, and when Dr. Hattan is out of town or booked, I will see Dr. Kolondenker. He's truly the best of the best in every way. I was greatly impressed, which is not easy for me since I have such high standards.

Let's start with the actual PT. I've been recovering from a hamstring autograft ACL reconstruction (+ meniscus stitch), and Dr. Taylor Sillekens has employed the perfect balance of pushing me to progress quickly while demonstrating holistic care for both my knee and overall wellbeing. He puts a lot of thought into his programming, which is both challenging and creative- I believe I've left every session having tried a new exercise. My mobility and strength bounced back so quickly that I found myself stronger than I was prior to the injury within less than 6 months. Core Performance has a lovely staff team as well! The PT aids are quite attentive and consistently check on my form/correct me if I'm off. I've had an incredible experience with Cat Stephens (who has not only helped me through painful moments but also brings smiles to all the patients' faces), but have always felt well-attended by all of the aids. The staff is super welcoming, knows us by name when we walk in, and are very responsive with scheduling. I look forward to each session since I know I'll be surrounded with such friendly people when I come in. I know this is verbose, but I'm just trying to convey my incredible experience here. I've had many ACL tear veterans express their disbelief at the speed of my recovery, and even have strangers approach me at my gym to ask how I got out of my brace so quickly. I've sent friends and fellow surgery patients here. Come see for yourself!

When I was preparing to go play pro volleyball abroad, he created a special program to build up my strength and endurance to ensure I was fully prepared to play without risking re-injury. His care went beyond simple exercises and he built a program to also help me prepare psychologically so that I could trust my knees every time I step on the court. I've seen a lot of PT's and trainers throughout my years as an athlete. Taylor is definitely the most knowledgeable about how the human body works and genuinely cares that all of his patients see positive results.
