I'm basing this on the orthotics they made for me some years ago. I finally found them again and…read moreI'm ready for them to make me another pair. If you suffer from real or disabling foot pain, Pacific Medical Prosthetics is the place that I really MUST recommend to you. The orthotics that they made for me maybe six or seven years ago were perfect!! I really had never felt such a relief from my crippling foot pain before!! I sometimes would go somewhere and just couldn't make it back to the car because I was so disabled from the sharp pains in my toe joints. After having a very long career as a registered nurse and being on my feet all the time there is a lot of damage to my feet. The staff at Pacific Medical Prosthetic were so professional and knowledgeable that they properly measured my gait and impressions for my feet and made an amazing shoe insert specifically for ME! I could finally WALK AGAIN!!!!! I have been successfully wearing these orthotics for years. I just went to my regular doctor to get a pair of orthotics, covered by my insurance which they were, but they're so painful to wear and I don't know why. So, I am back to Pacific Medical Orthotics to get them to CREATE a new pair for me. It's really a craft for them and they do an amazing job. I'm hoping that my second impression of them is as stellar as my first way back then. I'll certainly check back with Yelp and give them a second review when I find out. Sincerely, Tom Atkins, RN

Had a custom pair of orthotics casted & fitted by Ashley Seefeld, CPO after being referred by…read moreParnassus Podiatry Group. Great experience: Ashley is fast, thorough, very competent & a lovely person. I am very happy with my new orthotics & am running pain free again. The location is clean, bright & has readily available appointments. Unfortunately they are no longer offering orthotic casting at this location! I am glad I got in before Ashley left the practice. She is headed down to a practice in Redwood City, Gary Berke Prosthetics (650-365-5861). She recommends Michael Plafker, CPO at SF Prosthetic Orthotic Service (415-861-4146) if you are in need of orthotics in SF.

Mind you- It's not a custom brace like what they pitched, but a regular sized brace (small, medium large XL etc) that they ordered online. Scheduling sick leave from work for two appointments just to have them watche me put it on makes no sense to me. Also, office is unresponsive & when you call the number provided even during business hours, their voicemail goes off and says "you have reached us outside of operating hours" ALL DAY. Phone number listed on their front desk window isn't updated either (currently listed as 1-234-5678). Save yourself the frustration and avoid at all costs.

Anyway will update once I actually get PT in a month. -- Similar to other reviews, I have called no less than 10x (picked up 1x, all else goes to automated system/voicemail) and emailed (which initially got a response until I tried to schedule, then last 4 emails to try and schedule have not gotten a response of any kind).

The…read moresurgery was successful and I was walking well enough 2 months later that I was able to make it to my 50th college reunion. Both my knees were in painful condition because of severe osteoarthritis that, over the last 10 years, had destroyed cartilage and ended with a bone against bone knee condition. As an active 73 year old that still wanted to continue being active - biking, hiking, walking and playing with grandchildren - I chose to replace both knees at the same time. It would require one less year of recovery and one less surgery to go through. Dr Hansen and his team agreed that I was a good candidate for bilateral surgery. Dr Hansen and his team have provided such an outstanding, empathic and caring care that allowed me to recover my mobility and physical activity fast and with minimal difficulty and pain. I would recommend his practice to anybody faced with the same problems
