After having a really bad experience with another podiatrist last year, I was nervous and super hesitant to see another doctor. Dr. Park was incredibly kind, thorough, and walked me through the treatment for my injuries patiently and with care. They were also able to x-ray my foot on-the-spot vs having to send me to another location. Thank you Dr. Park! read more

Dr. Park is a really nice doctor with a wonderful bedside manner, but you cannot get an appointment for at least a month out. So if you're having issues, it will fester and if you have any scheduling conflicts, you now have to wait 2 months and so on. His front office staff could really use a class on courtesy and kindness. Sorry to say good bye to this doctor but there are other podiatrists in Los Angeles. Dr. Stuart Steinberg (who started this office) is sorely missed. read more

I called for a consultation for my ruptured Posterior Tibial Tendon which I was told most likely will require surgery and I'm looking for the best surgeon for this procedure. I got a referral to Dr. Park from a colleague. I called their office: 1st question: is this injury work related? I said "No it's not a workers comp related injury". I explained that I wanted to consult with Dr. Park regarding a "severed Posterior Tibial Tendon" I was told: "The first possible appointment time For new patients would be mid-July (I was calling in mid-April) so the "office policy" is to schedule new patients 3 months later? I wonder if my injury was work related would that have made a difference! What about a fracture? You have to wait 3 months for an appointment? What kind of policy is this? Really strange! read more

Dr Park has a kind bedside manner but his method of scanning feet to make custom orthotics is a failure. His "fixes" for the expensive orthotics made them worse- the arch was in the wrong spot and made my joint problems worse. Until he returns to plaster casting, avoid him for orthotics. read more

He saved my big toenail when other doctors wanted to take it off permanently. What more can I say??

Very happy with his kindness and patience. I have to go regularly for my ingrown toenails and I'm always pleased with the results.

Dr. Park was recommended to me from a friend of mine I went to him with torn ligaments. He took care of them, and I was up and walking within a couple of days staff very professional I recommend him. read more

Review for scheduling, not the Dr. himself. I saw Dr. Park years ago, apparently before he became so popular that he has a two-month+ wait for an existing patient. I had surgery with him, and he has an excellent bedside manner. I hurt my foot about two months ago, hobbled around for a week, and then decided, okay, it's time to go in. They weren't able to schedule me until the end of May. I booked and waited. There's no cancellation list anymore; you have to call each day if you're looking for an appointment sooner in hopes of a cancellation. The receptionist, when I called, the moment I asked about a cancellation, she jumped and said "There's none". No asking for my name or the reason for the appointment; it's just that no one has canceled. I couldn't take the pain anymore and found another foot doctor in Burbank who got me in the same week. Turned out I'd been walking on a stress fracture. I'm now healed, but still disappointed in the lack of attentiveness to patients and their needs, or maybe they're overbooking, and that's the problem? My son even attempted to get an appointment 3 weeks ago for an ingrown toenail that he's had fixed there within the last year, yet nothing until the end of July. An ingrown toenail cannot wait months to be treated; this can lead to a deadly infection and loss of the toe. I told my son about the other foot Dr. I went to, and he's scheduled now for early next week. Much faster than the 2 month + wait again for the office. read more

Awful, unable and unwilling to care about your pain. Will request lots of doctors visits with no actual care provided. Front office is argumentative and requires several calls to get any type of response. Made several incorrect orthodontic molds. Will only want to resort to temporary pain relief. Avoid this doctor what a terrible experience. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Park for any issues or challenges with ones feet. Extremely professional and knowledgeable, friendly staff, and my appointments are always on time and quick, yet he always takes his time and makes sure all my questions are answered. Went to see him for my dislocated toe (which we discovered included torn ligaments) and bunions after a recommendation from a relative. Best decision ever. Dr Park set me up with orthotic shoe inserts which helped a lot with the pain. He doesn't go straight to surgery and helps weigh the pros and cons to ensure I can make an informed decision. I've seen other DPMs in the past but Dr. Park is second to none. Thanks so much Dr. Park and staff. read more

Dr Park is a truly caring and wonderful professional in the field. I've accompanied my mother's visits to his office for her procedures, he has been nothing but kind and very involved in her plan of care. Dr Park is very knowledgeable and has done an amazing job with the two surgeries he performed. He answers each question thoroughly and has met every need, highly recommend Joseph Park and his practice! Dr Park ensures safety in all aspects, and goes beyond the standard to make sure his patients are well taken care of. His staff in the office are also extremely lovely people, very helpful and overall, he's got a great team working with him. Dr Park does everything to be upfront and offering his expertise with any complex issue. He follows up diligently and I couldn't imagine a better experience! read more

I don't rave about doctor's appointments, but this was the best experience I've ever had. They were quick to check me in and Dr. Park immediately knew what needed to be done with my infected toe. He was calm, kind, and efficient which is so important when you're dealing with pain. I would highly recommend him to ANYONE who is dealing with ingrown toenails or foot problems. read more

Went to see him for bone to bone pain in both my ankles. Instead of recommending ankle fusion surgery like another doctor I went to, Dr. Park recommended taking things slow, and trying cortisone shots to see if that alleviated the pain. And it worked. Been pain free for two months now. I know that surgery is in my eventual future, but I loved that Dr. Park didn't rush to it. read more

I had a mysterious issue with my foot and Dr. Park figured it out for me. Highly recommended!

I called in for an appointment. They were only able to give me 11am Wednesday. When I came in (exactly at 11) there were 20 people crammed up in the tiny waiting room. Another lady had been there waiting since 10:30. She asked how much longer she had to wait, they told her there's one more patient ahead of her. So then I had to ask how many patients were ahead of me. They told me 6! And they said sorry that it's a pretty packed schedule today. Why schedule me for an 11am appointment if you know that I can't be seen at least until 1:00 or 1:30?? On top of that they were all getting ready to take a lunch break. Give me a break guys! read more

this review is for Dr Tina Shahin who works at this clinic. She is so kind and patient and helpful, and you can tell that she genuinely cares about how her patients are doing. She always goes the extra mile to make sure that I'm taken care of and every issue i have is addressed. I've seen Dr. Park as well in the past and he is also excellent. I'm very thankful for this clinic. read more

After a terrible experience with Mark M Mikhael (Dr at OSS Burbank), Dr. Joseph K Park is a superb Doctor. I'm so glad that I met him. I wish I can give him 10 stars. He is very professional in the way he speaks. He shows empathy while I try to express a terrible experience with my previous Doctor. He is very knowledgeable about what he's doing. He explains to me in detail about what's going on with my foot issue. He assured me that I will be healed. He answers all my questions. Put tape on my feet for immediate pain relief. Advice icing rather than a medicine to avoid side effects. Give the right advice and refer me to a physical therapist. Thank you so much Dr Park I really appreciate your service. For those of you who are looking for the best foot doctor, I highly recommend Dr. Joseph K Park. You won't be disappointed. read more

I came to Dr Park with chronic ankle pain. After several tests, xrays, and scans, we discovered a bone bridge in both feet! Long story short I took his advice and had surgery. Both Dr Park and his staff have been so patient, professional, caring, and wonderful through the entire process, especially the long ass time it's taking to heal from my surgeries. Parking is a pain, but otherwise I'm really happy I come here. read more

Great doctor, knows his specialty very well and a kind, gentleman of a person too. I would strongly recommend him and have spoken about him to family and friends. read more

Not a fan of their policies. They canceled an appointment and then I waited 40 minutes for my scheduled appointment. They wanted me to do a follow up appt but when I got sick & canceled in advance, I got charged $50 fee. Told my primary doctor to not refer patients here. I won't go back read more

It's hard to decide where to start when describing my experience with Dr. Park. He's been generous, caring, patient, attentive, and kind. He is highly knowledgeable and a top notch professional. I came to Dr. Park for a second opinion after my torn ankle ligament was initially misdiagnosed as a sprain by another podiatrist who I had seen multiple times. It took Dr. Park a matter of seconds to know it was a tear. While he knew I most likely needed surgery, he was not in a rush and wanted to give my ankle the chance to see if it can recover on its own, with a targeted daily routine. The regimen led to major improvement, but it was still clear surgery was required. The surgery went smoothly and turned out great. He used the most advanced tools and techniques, which have a much higher success rate than the old way of doing things, which many doctors still use. I've been recovering each day at a great pace with Dr. Park's guidance and getting closer to being back to 100%. I'm so grateful that I found Dr. Park and gave him a chance. I highly recommend him to anyone. There are very few doctors in LA who are worthy of trusting with a serious injury that impacts your ability to walk normally again- he is one of them. read more

Dr. Park is a great podiatrist because he carefully listens to problems, and he is clear and easy to understand with what he would like to do to help. He is not pushy, and he does not try to upsell other treatments or products. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Park. And I forgot to mention, he is very prompt with his appointments! read more

I had an accident that resulted in a trip to the emergency room. I knew I needed followup care and was scheduled to meet with Dr. Patrick Levine. The care I got was excellent. I could not have been more happy. Well organized, fast, convenient, and great medical care from the LA Foot and Ankle Center. read more

Dr Park is detail oriented, ethical, and a joy to work with! Just by meeting him, you will know that he has your best interest at heart. He is passionate about helping you to be healed and will do whatever it takes to get you there. Dr Park goes out of his way for his patients, always making them feel comfortable and making sure they understand what the procedure entails. He is extremely patient in listening to you and coming up with an excellent treatment plan. I trust Dr Park completely. I give him the highest recommendation for his knowledge, skill, and compassion. Take it from me, a fellow healthcare provider, this is the right person to see for all your feet needs!! read more

I took my 9 year old daughter to see Dr. Park. He was AWESOME!!! He was very compassionate and made my daughter feel comfortable, while he needed to work on her big toe. Everything worked out great. Her toe is great. She has no fear or trauma or anything. Dr. Park will be our family podiatrist for as long as he's practicing! Thank you, Dr. Park! read more

Last year I was preparing to run a marathon when the dreaded ingrown nail came after me. I was refered to Dr. Park and boy was I lucky. From the moment I walked through the door the experience was great. Everyone was polite, welcoming and ready to answer any questions that might arise. Once I met doctor Park I knew I was in good, knowledgeable and capable hands. He took all the necessary time to explain what could be done about my nail and all the different steps we could take. After giving me the necessary time to process the information and make a decision we went for a conservative approach at first which helped for a while but unfortunately didn't get rid of the problem. On my second visit he then went for the next slightly more aggressive step and it was because of this that I was able to run the marathon and complete it with no pain on my toes. Unfortunately, after a few months the problem arose once again but I knew exactly where to go. Dr. Park once again took the time to go through what the next step should be. My ingrown toenail has never been an everyday problem, it only hurts after I run for 6+ miles so the conservative approach that would get me back to running as soon as possible was always the best approach for my case. Everytime I've been to the office it has taken about 5 minutes between checking in and talking to Dr. Park. Hopefully this is the last time I have to deal with this problem but if I need to trust my feet to anyone in the future it will certainly be Dr. Park. read more

Dr. Joseph Park is amazing and staff is very welcoming. I was nervous when I first went in but Dr. Joseph Park was very polite and understanding. Thank you for your help I would definitely recommend this place don't think twice 5 stars by far read more

Dr. Park's attitude is detached and aloof. Just one more patient on his list. He sold me orthotics, but three times refused to confirm that they'd help me. I asked him three times point blank, his responses were "well, with stretching and icing ", which avoided a real answer. When I went back to say nothing was helping, he, horrifyingly, lied. Sat there, unable to look at me, knowing I was recording him for notes, and denied refusing to answer. I came for help with pain, and instead got combative tone, and lies. The only compassionate person there is the receptionist. This is not a Doctor that helps people- just sells them. Really disgusted a doctor would lie. read more

Dr Park is awesome! Unfortunately the people answering the phone don't have the same great personality as him. Rude and condescending when you call! He gets 5 stars, they get 0! Hate to write negative reviews but sometimes you have to. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Joseph Park for all your foot care needs. It was my first time going to a podiatrist and a friend of mine told me great things, so I Yelped Dr. Park and others to do my own research, too. I'm really glad that I went to him. I was able to make an appointment right away. The staff there are very kind and the facility is extremely clean. Dr. Joseph Park is friendly, gentle, and has a good sense of humor. He had a way about himself that made me feel comfortable and put me at ease about the anxiety built up about my foot/ankle. He was clear about my chronic ankle issues and knowledgeable about next step in treatment. I'm happy to say that my painfully swollen ankle has entirely healed after a couple of weeks with Dr. Park's help. If I need to see a podiatrist in the future, I will definitely be going back to Dr. Joseph Park. Thank you, Dr. Park! read more

Grossly incompetent is about the nicest thing I can say about his staff. I get a referral then call on Wednesday or an appointment. The woman tells me there is an opening on Friday at 3. I show up on Friday at 3 and am told my appointment is the FOLLOWING Friday. A week later, I'm back again and they tell me they can't find me in their system,l so I will be a "new patient" and he doesn't have time to see a new patient today so they can schedule me for the following Wednesday. So WHO THE F' SLICED OPEN MY ANKLE FIVE YEARS AGO THEN???!!! In short, good Doctor + lousy staff = a crappy practice. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. read more

The best! I had a great experience with Dr. Park. I was having surgery on hammer toes-a procedure that I endured almost 30 years ago with disastrous results. I was very nervous going in, b/c I didn't want to go through the same thing--this was a second chance at having normal looking toes. Not only was the surgery a success, Dr. Park and his team including the O.R. crew made it a pleasant experience. Dr. Park is patient, thorough, available and above all an expert. I'll be doing my other foot with him as well. Completely agree with David C. read more

****moving my review directly to Dr. Park******** I was recommended to Dr. Steinberg's office by orthopedist at Stetson Powell for a new pair of orthotics. Let me preface this by saying that I'm not the run of the mill podiatry patient. I have put in a major amount of trail miles annually and I estimate that my 5 year old pair has seen upwards of 5000 miles thanks to my former fixation with ultrarunning. It was convenient in that his associate Dr. Park saw me on short notice; however, that's where the convenience ended. I specifically asked for something similar to my old semi-rigid, high volume orthotics, which I brought in as an example. I emphasized that I did not want to replace my hiking boots, running shoes, and ski boots and the old pair had served me well. When I returned in 2 weeks I received a thin pair of flimsy looking rigid orthotics that looked like they might hold up for six months if I was lucky. I mentioned my concerns to Dr. Park, who recommended that I try them out first. During my trial run I realized that the slippery covering and design were not going to work. They were too thin and the heel cup was causing hot spots. Dr. Park's office required that I make an appointment to discuss the problems with my orthotics. My previous podiatrist, Dave Hannaford, (unfortunately in the SF Bay Area) would send my orthotics out for adjustment without an appointment. I realized that this whole thing seemed like an insurance scam, not to mention a waste of my time. My previous pair took 4 adjustments to avoid arch blisters and there was no way I was going to make an appointment each time (@ $25 in copay every time) I needed an adjustment. After $400 out of pocket I decided to cut my losses and make an appointment with Dr. Hannaford. read more

For the first time in my life I'm speechless because I cannot find the words to describe dr Park, he is the most well-mannered most compassionate caring doctor I have ever dealt with. he took my pain,misery and embarrassment of my feet due to overgrown bunions and turned them into something I never believed would be. I cannot thank you enough Dr Park for giving me back basically a different kind of life, I no longer have to hide them from the world .God bless you and the miracles you do.thank you, thank you and again thank you. read more

Joseph K Park, DPM, FACFAS - Podiatrists Near Me - Burbank, California

Doctor Park is a kind, knowledgeable and a caring physician. After countless appointments and misdiagnosis from various other Podiatrist, I found Dr. Park. He tried a few different procedures (such as exercise and Ibuprofen) nothing worked. I opted to have surgery & I'm glad I did. I had a successful surgery and never had pain in my foot again! Dr. Park was just the best. He called on a Saturday after the procedure just to check on my progress. I HIGHLY recommend him. A+ doctor!! read more

I don't know how this office and a podiatrist can be better. Had two ankle surgeries with Dr. Park. The first went so smooth, I was like... Let's do the other. read more

Great Dr. Takes his time every time I am there. Explains exactly what he is going to do and what he recommends and makes sure you understand. He is the only Dr. office that I have been where you get called in at your actual scheduled time. Very professional and friendly staff. read more

I blew my achilles tendon doing freerunning in march, and Dr. Park did an Achilles tendon repair in early April. 5 months later, I'm pretty much good to go back to doing freerunning. I'm walking good, running pretty good, and have no pain and great flexibility. Dr. Park did an awesome job fixing me. Got some custom orthotic soles for my shoes (thin ones that the above review was griping about). They feel great to me and are pretty damn durable. Our puppy ripped it out of my shoe and chewed on it for 20 minutes and its still pretty solid. One thing I really gotta mention about Dr. Park, beyond being a good docter, he's actually an authentically nice guy and fills you with confidence that things are probably gonna be just fine. And that goes for all of his staff too. I usually dread going to the doctor, but Dr. Park and his staff really do a great job of making you feel at ease. read more

Perhaps the best doctor I've ever had. Everything about his office is great. Staff is helpful, friendly, attentive. I've never had to wait long in the waiting room or patient rooms. They have a lot of equipment available right there at the office, including X-ray machines and splints, so you don't have to make a separate appointment elsewhere, or wait long (if at all) for orthotics / splints. Professional, effective, welcoming. Dr. Park himself is a great guy, always very personable and helpful. I went there for running-related pain in my right foot (plantar issues), and he was able to identify and cure me of the pain super effectively. I continued to see him due to issues in my left leg, and he was once again able to target the issue and relieve most of the pain (I continue to do stretches based on his advice for the remainder of the pain). Dr. Park is the real deal. Every person I know who has had him as a Doctor, always has good things to say. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Park is simply the best. From the very first time I went in to get my customized insoles to accommodate my severe overpronating feet a few years ago, Dr. Park's professionalism combined with a sincere, caring heart have been second to none. Pleasantly humble and down-to-earth, he and his staff were very personal and made me feel welcomed from day one. Since I've always had an ankle issue since my teens (I'm 40 years old), the fact that he knew much about sports and injuries that come with sports was definitely a plus, because my ankle issue was due to many years of playing basketball, football, and volleyball. Also, I really loved the fact that he never pushed surgery on me until I felt that it was necessary. Having done a shoulder surgery elsewhere almost a decade ago, I sometimes wonder if I should have gotten a second opinion before the shoulder surgery. But Dr. Park, after giving me the most accurate diagnosis, never pushed me to have the procedure. He left it up to me. And when I finally felt that it was time, he was ready. And boy, did he ever take care of me. Never once did I have an issue with my insurance company because his staff worked diligently to provide me the best overall care. It's one thing to have a successful surgery but how great it is to have a great office staff that takes care of you administratively as well. Leading up to the surgery, he explained everything to me very clearly, and repeatedly as well (since I'm a bit OCD). My surgery was not small-in-scale: I had torn ligaments that needed to be reinforced, and my heel had to be reconstructed because my foot had been permanently pointing outwards since I had rolled my ankle repeatedly while playing sports since high school, which meant my newly reconstructed, properly aligned foot had to be held in place with two titanium screws until my foot properly healed. The whole surgery took three hours, but it went flawlessly. Then came the best post-op care: When I was done with surgery, I had an ice machine, and a set of state-of-the-art crutches (you have to see them) ready for me by my bedside when I woke up. The staff worked with my insurance company prior to the surgery so that everything was ready for me. Even more, he called me three straight days to see if I was okay after surgery! Who does that?! After more than twenty years of ankle pain, I am now pain free, thanks to Dr. Park. Surgery was past July (July 31st, 2015), and I am now back on the treadmills and hiking mountains. Healing does take time after the surgery, but hey, Dr. Park isn't Jesus :) I continue to see Dr. Park for my customized insoles (since I can get a new pair every year through my insurance). I tell him that I wish he was my doctor for everything, because he's that great. (And we can talk about college football every year.) If you're looking for a great podiatrist, look no further. Dr. Joseph Park is the man. I don't work for Men's Wearhouse, but I guarantee it :) read more
