My grandma has been seeing Dr. Kaplansky for about a year now for toenail fungus, and the improvement has been incredible. Before coming in, we tried just about every over-the-counter treatment with no success, and other doctors had even told her it was something she would likely have to live with forever since it had been present for so much of her life and would be extremely difficult to treat. Dr. Kaplansky put her on a consistent regimen that included monthly REMY laser treatments along with a topical medication (Jublia), and the results have honestly exceeded our expectations. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he also has a great bedside manner. He takes the time to clearly explain what he's doing and why, which made us feel really comfortable and confident in the treatment plan. I also have to mention Olga at the front desk. She is always so kind, helpful, and accommodating when it comes to scheduling appointments. Highly recommend this office if you're dealing with stubborn toenail fungus or looking for a podiatrist who truly cares! read more

Dr. Kaplansky is warm and professional. He gave me a second opinion on my issue and made sure to ask if I had any questions. He discussed treatments with me and worked with what my insurance would cover. The office waiting room is a little no-frills but the clerk at the front desk is very helpful. read more

Major shout out to doctor Arkady. I had been going to the ER and urgent care visits for cellulitis in my toe and not one doctor prescribed me the medication that kaplansky did which ultimately healed me... He instantly knew that it was a fungal infection and put me on a 3 month medication that essentially removed almost a year's worth of suffering and useless medications prescribed by incompetent doctors. Thank you Dr. Kaplansky and his front desk woman staff for taking me same day appointment back in September 2025 and for ultimately healing my cellulitis infected toe that almost killed me. read more

I've seen TERRIBLE doctors from all specialties, but Dr. Kaplansky is by far one of the best, most caring doctors I've ever come across. Very reasonable, very patient, explains everything for you, and never tries to charge you for useless or unnecessary things. Recommends getting Orthotics on Amazon instead of custom made ones or overpriced ones like all the other podiatrists peddle incessantly. SIX STARS read more

I could put 10 stars. I called Friday. My appointment was scheduled onMonday. my appointment was at 9 o'clock. I got to see a doctor right away, great front desk and the Doctor Who is dedicated to his patient!!! read more

I came in to get my foot looked at because I was having lots of pain. Dr Kaplansky was very friendly and tookMe in as soon as I went in and filled out the paperwork. The X-Ray was free and the removal Of a big sharp piece of glass was free. I can now walk again with no pain. Also Olga was a very nice and helpful manager. read more

Arkady Kaplansky, DPM - Podiatrists Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just turned 70 and for the first time in my life, I went to visit a foot doctor and I am so glad I did. About 3 years ago, while shopping at Home Depot, I accidentally dropped an eight foot 2 X 4 lumber on my left toe. Although it was painful and the nail turned brown, I didn't do much about it. While visiting my general doctor, I showed him the toe. He said nothing to worry about, and it would heal by itself. 3 years later, the toenail was still brown and the nail was not growing right. So, I decided to see a specialist and had Dr. Arkady check my foot. As a board certified podiatrist, he was very knowledgeable and professional. Right away, he knew was wrong and I could not believe all the steps and procedures he took to treat the damaged toenail. My toenail has never looked or felt better. I am so glad I went to Dr. Arkady. He is amazing and I highly recommend him even for a once in a lifetime foot check up. read more

I've been to other places to get my feet treated and nothing has compared to here! Staff is amazing and this Dr is so great with his clients, very honest too. My toe problems have been resolved thanks to this amazing place. I highly recommend!! 10/10! read more

Dr. Kaplansky was an amazing doctor. My toe had been bothering me for about a month after I had stubbed it really hard. I suspected it was an ingrown toenail that formed after stunning my big toe. For years I always just patiently let my ingrown toenails grow out and I eventually cut them when grew out but this one was especially stubborn. After a while it began hurting so much I had to make a call. I found dr. Kaplansky online and found that he offered the lowest price for removal (I am uninsured). When I arrived at his office, Olga (his very nice assistant) greeted me and signed me in. Dr. Kaplansky then brought me in his examination room. I was so nervous because of the potential pain, but the doctor was so kind and conversational it helped calm my nerves a lot. The procedure itself was almost painless because of the local anesthesia and it was over in an instant. Overall it was a great experience, and any time I have foot problems I will definitely being paying Dr. Kaplansky another visit. Dr. Kaplansky was worth every single penny! Don't hesitate to make a visit. read more

I went yesterday for an ingrown nail and I thought it would be as uncomfortable as the emergency room when I got it done 5 months ago. But that was not the experience I had here. He was so good I didn't even feel the pinch of the syringe. And the prosecute was done in like 20 minutes. Talk about me school and my future profession and like thanos in a snap of a finger he was done :) read more

I was able to get an appointment almost immediately and the doctor was very friendly and my treatment as well as the healing process went very smoothly and was painless. read more

Did 2 procedures on my left foot. Dr. Kaplansky was very professional, gentle yet precise on the amount of "bad nail area" that needed to be trimmed. on both occasions. though I needed local shots, to num the area, on my second procedure, that I barely felt, I'm grateful to the good doctor from saving me from further pain and discomfort. Thank you Dr. Kaplansky. excellent service from A to Z read more

I never thought I would need a "foot guy " but now I have one ! Everything about my visit was as smooth as possible . I was nervous about going in with a bad ingrown toenail but he made me feel so comfortable and was making jokes and had me laughing the whole time. Before I knew it the procedure was over and I didn't feel a thing ! I highly recommend !!! read more

I honestly am thrilled I found this man through my insurance. The office itself is a little dated, but do not let that deter you; this man knows his stuff. Very transparent and informative. Answered about a million questions with honesty, ease, and humor. Very patient and smart gentleman. I can easily recommend him to all my friends and family. Accepts my Anthem PPO and I can confirm he takes Medicare patients. No judgement. Efficient staff. Painless procedures. 5 stars all around. read more

My boyfriend had a really bad ingrown toenail for about a month, the last two weeks was really bad, he was limping around from the pain. We called a lot of places to see if we could come in but they were either closed or WAY too expensive. We called in this morning they had an appointment at 11:30. We got there and the nurse in the front desk was very friendly, we filled out some paperwork and 5 minutes later we were in. He sat in the big chair and the doctor came in right away, he numbed his toe while he joked around with us making us feel comfortable. He was very nice and professional. Answered all of our questions and even gave us information as he was working, he was very quick and very efficient. We weren't in the office for more than 30 minutes. Usually doctors offices are a pain because of how long they take but not here! The pharmacy took longer to give us the prescription. read more

Just went to this office for a small issue I was having and the doctor was so nice and funny! Took his time and made sure i got all my questions answered ! The front desk lady was sweet too! I believe there were two of them and they were laughing and speaking Russian. I had a good experience! He didn't try to over sell anything. Just kept it simple! read more

I was really impressed with Dr. Kaplanskys bedside manner. He was a really pleasant person to talk to and made me very comfortable. He answered any questions I had and did an amazing job with problems I had been dealing with for a long time and he gave me a lot of tips to make sure I didn't have any problems in the future. The wait time was really short too and it was easy to schedule an appointment. The lady at the front was real nice too and helpful. I can tell Dr. Kaplansky really cares about his patients and also mentioned to me that he was heading to a house call for a person who isn't physically capable of coming to the office anymore. Now that's going the extra mile and even tho I'm not old and unable to move but I really appreciate him doing that and I'm sure they are too. I will definitely refer him to anyone that need his services. Thank you Dr. Kaplansky! read more

Was able to get an appointment within the week that I called. There was no wait. The doctor was professional, thorough, and had a great bedside manner. I was in and out within 30 minutes, and that's including x-rays. He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and will not rush you out. He will also ascertain that you try the more conservative course of action first - unlike other docs who tend to recommend surgeries right off of the bat. Totally understand why he has the only good yelp reviews for podiatrists in my area! read more

I had a wart on my foot for almost a year and went to Dr.Kaplansky to remove it. He was professional (and very friendly), knowledgeable and very communicative about all aspects of the treatment. The procedure was surgical in nature and the Doctor did a wonderful job and had a terrific manner! I can't say enough good things about my experience. The treatment was done on a Thursday and he told me not to hesitate to call him if I had any questions or concerns - even if it was during the weekend. I will say that his second floor office is not the most modern, but that in no way detracts from Dr. Kapalnsky being truly first rate. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

I have seen 4 podiatrists over the past 7 years for Morton's Neuroma. With all of the cortisone, alcohol shots, and nerve decompression surgery over the past 7 years, I was in worse pain. I decided to get a 5th opinion and saw Dr. Kaplansky yesterday. He is the only podiatrist that examined my whole foot and found that the pain was coming from an entirely different area of my foot that the other doctors had thought. He gave me a cortisone shot in that area and today, my foot feels great today. I am hopeful that this will last, but he advised me to come back in 2 weeks if I am not. And, he promised to keep looking for other options for me, if necessary. He is very down to earth, a great listener, and very knowledgeable. I got the sense that he really cares about his patients. I strongly recommend Dr. Kaplansky for your foot needs. read more

Dr. Kaplansky was nice, took the time I needed to explain my problem and gave me remedies that didn't involve selling me products. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a podiatrist. He gets 5 stars in my book! Thanks yelp for always steering me in the right direction. read more

Great service. Doctor A. Kaplansky was very professional, welcoming, and nice. The treatment was so quick that I didn't even notice how the time passed by. Also, a lady at the front desk (as I remember her name's Olga) was very pleasant. I'd definitely recommend this place to everyone who needs podiatrist's help. read more

I've never been to a foot doctor before and only once have I had my appointment by any medical professional actually happen when booked. This changed with my visit. I'd let an ingrown nail get out of hand and become infected and quite painful. Dr. Kaplansky made the process easy and quite painless while assuring me he'd done this many times in the past. I can say after a week or so my toe wishes I'd done this sooner! read more

Like any doctor's visit in Los Angeles, I went here budgeting (at minimum) and hour and a half out of work anticipating that I'd be bogged down in paperwork, lines - etc. Well that certainly wasn't true. In and out, 100% cured in under 20 minutes. Almost couldn't believe it. While my reason for going happened to be minor, it was the attention to detail, professionalism, and overall good attitude of the staff and doc himself that will bring me back should my foot have another unfortunate brush with fate. Its kind of tucked into a corner of a two story mini-mall on Sunset, so you can easily miss it or write it off if you compare it to some of the larger fancy clinics I've seen advertised elsewhere - but you'd be doing yourself a big disservice if thats your only criteria for finding some great help when you need it most. Would definitely rec. read more

Dr. Kaplansky is the best!!! I had a very sore ingrown toenail and was nervous about the procedure but he made me super comfortable right from the start and made sure the whole process was pain free!! Bedside manner 10/10 thank you!!! read more

I had pretty painful ingrown toenails. I called Dr. Arkady Kaplansky and set up an appointment the same day. I appreciate the detailed care that I was given and the manner in which they communicated with me. He seems to genuinely love his job and care about his patients. Informative and being honest about what to expect for recovery, he did ease the pain and have no problem coming back. No pain afterwards. Highly recommend him if you need to go to a foot doctor. read more

Dr. Arkady Kaplansky, DPM, provided expert medical services. His staff got us in very quickly. The doctor had a great sense of dry humor; as he assessed, diagnosed and treated in an outpatient procedure. Well done and thank you! read more
