The Dr was amazing. I went for an ingrown toenail. He took care of it in about 40 min. He gave good care instructions for the healing process and I was back to work in boots in 3 days. I would absolutely go back for any foot related problems read more

Your feet aren't something you think about too often until they start hurting (Ive been a runner for 30 years so, it was probably inevitable...). Was simply looking for some direction and reassurance as to what problem was. Anyway, ran across Mark, had him take a look. He's awsome. So nice, soft-spoken, listened to me, asked questions, gave me spot on advise and recommendations. Didn't wait long at his office either. He didnt over recommend (x-rays, mri, etc etc). Thumbs up! read more

I am so thankful I found this establishment! Was having a lot of pain from ingrown nails and the lady that works the front desk was so amazing and helpful. She was able to squeeze in an early appointment for me, and the doctor did a great job treating my ingrown nails. My pain was gone and the healing was very smooth. I recommend this office if you are in need of foot care. read more

He took good care of me, answered my questions and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this podiatrist.

Excellent doctor...smart, knowledgeable and friendly! I asked about a foot condition and he gave a better and more detailed answer than 3 other doctors I've asked. Friendly office and a nice guy as well! read more

Dr C treats my whole family 3 generations of beach goers. We love him. Very attentive. He does everything . In grown toe nails treated , tendinitis, and he even makes arch supports . Very pleased. I only wished that his staff would soak your feet before trimming nails. That would be the only improvement that I could recommend. Otherwise, highly recommend him to others read more

I was able to run pain free for the first time this morning. This is significant for me, because for years, I couldn't run without various parts of my feet or legs hurting. I had seen three other podiatrists over the years and they all prescribed orthotics and surgery (which I never agreed to) for my bunions, Morton's toe and flat arches. My orthotics never felt right, so I hadn't worn them and my feet got worse. After developing pain on my ball of foot, I saw Dr. C, who patiently listened to my history and goals. I didn't want to purchase new orthotics and he didn't push them at all. He offered a number of non-surgical options to try, and to my surprise, modified the orthotics I had bought from another doctor. He was so careful to make sure they fit correctly and spent a lot of time explaining everything to me. He even told me to break them in, and if they didn't work, he would modify them further. Dr. C is one of those rare doctors that go over and beyond for their patients and I highly recommend him to anyone who is having problems with their feet. The office staff is great too! read more

The best bedside manner in the South Bay! Doc is very thorough and always cautions on the side doing anything drastic. He is all about improving your situation and is easy to get an appointment. The staff is always nice and visits do not take long. read more

This doctor is awesome. He really took his time with me. He was able to take me in right when I called. I've been dealing with ingrown toenail pain longer than I can remember. The procedure was painless (minus the novakane). This will be my go-to Doctor from now on. No more picking at my toes by myself. Do yourself a favor and come here! read more

I went in today with a really bad ingrown toe nail..Horrible Pain!!!!!! Out of all the doctors I have gone, I believe this doctor is the person to go to. You must go to Dr. Costopoulos, he is an excellent podiatrist (Very Professional) The staff was really friendly and professional as well. Pain & Infection free for the weekend! Yay!!!!! read more

Dr. Costopoulos and his staff are amazing. I had an ingrown toenail and I was leaving in a few days to climb a seven summit mountain. Dr. Costopoulos and his staff provided excellent service. Dr. Costopoulos calmed me down and assured me all would be well if I followed the aftercare instructions. Sure enough, all is well and I am on my way to climb a mountain! Thanks you for your excellent care. read more

I just met this dr last week. I was having issues with the ball of my left foot on long runs. He explained everything to me. Very patient. Very knowledgeable. Very thorough. Thank you Dr. Costopoulos & staff! read more

The doctor was very nice and his office was very clean. He really knew a lot about feet. He was patient and kind.

Dr. Costopoulos is a great Podiatrist that I would highly recommend. After icing the area, the cortisone treatment was rather painless and my heal's healing process continued without a hitch. I like to recline as far back as possible and visualize ocean waves pounding on rocks during the injections. My preference would be total sleep because I don't like any pain but if you're going to get an injection Dr. Costopoulos does it right. read more

I was experiencing pain in my foot so I yelped "podiatrist" and found Dr. C. I was fortunate to get a same-day appointment. I appreciated the fact that his staff called to let me know that he was running 10 minutes late, although I didn't see the voicemail until later. It turns out that not wearing my orthotics was causing my arch to fall (my feet are pretty much flat). He showed me the differences between the foot without no pain and the one with and it was really interesting. He also advised me on what to look for in an athletic shoe. Thanks, Dr. C! read more

I had a over all great experience. The doctor is very nice and easy to talk to. The office is clean in my book and the office staff is very pleasant... read more

I have been looking for a good Padiatrist for a while and I'm so happy to have gone to this office. I'm extremely selective with my doctors and Dr. Mark Costipoulos immediately figured out my foot issues. I read many of the feedback on here and I'm grateful for the honest postings. I can't say enough positive things about my experience . Dr. Costipoulos is definitely knowledgeable in his field. He listens, and acts immediately to help you. I'm lucky to say that I'm feeling much better after my visit visit. read more

I am beyond happy with my experience! I was running late to my appointment and when I called the front desk was very understanding and said they would wait for me. The doctor was very nice and answered all my questions! I don't have a single complaint! read more

Very nice Doctor! I would definitely come back here or recommend. His staff is lovely as well. Highly recommended.

Dr. Costopoulos was very direct and efficient. I liked that he could X-ray my foot right in the room and showed me the findings. Office team are delightful. read more

Amazing place, nurses are very inviting and professional. The nurses attend to you and make sure you are comfortable while you wait for the doctor to see you. The doctor is very good, attentive, and understanding of the patient. Definitely a ten out of ten...thank you guys...you were great and fast read more

Dr. C is my savior!!! I am very young and have very bad feet. Just bad genes. So I hope to guide other bad feet to him. He told me the younger you go the better the chance of getting your feet to feeling normal. He is a very gentle doctor who is very caring. I was so nervous but that all kind of faded away once he started his treatment. His nurses could take a cue from him and be just as kind. They were OK but he was special!!! Way to go Dr. C!!!!! read more

Dr. Costopoulos is the best Podiatrist in the South Bay. I've been going to Dr. Costopoulos for many years now from numerous feet problems that range from ingrown toe nails to ankle sprains. He is very knowledgeable,compassionate, and does everything he can to assure the patients are pain free and comfortable. I was terrified of needles, and having ingrown toe nail surgery that was necessary to stop the painful infections that were recurring in my toes, but Dr. Costopoulos not only eased my fears,but he also made the surgery relatively pain free. He let me bring my i pod to listen to during the surgery, he put the exam chair all the way back so that I could lay down, and he put this cold spray on my toe so that I would not feel the injections. Not only did he do all of that, but throughout the whole surgery he kept making sure I was not experiencing pain, and he continually coached me through the entire process.That's almost unheard of most doctors just want to do their job, and leave, but not Dr. Costopoulos. Since the surgery, I have not had an ingrown toe nail in 4 years and , I have no longer have throbbing painful toes, or infections in my toes. I am so grateful that I've found Dr. Costopoulos. He is such a wonderful doctor, that goes above and beyond his job. Dr. Costopoulos has been saving soles since 1980.I know he definitely saved mine. read more

Dr Costopoulos recently gave me a cortisone injection for my plantar faciiitis. I was fearful because I had heard it was a painful shot. No problem-he first gave me lidocaine, then the cortisone. He was fantastic with very little pain. read more

Oh my goodness i didnt know you can yelp medical clinics i thought it was only for restaurants Hazel is an Angel and has the best customer service. I feel like im at home because of the hospitality read more

I left a message online about my husband's infected toe and someone from the office called me first thing this morning. Although they were fully booked, they worked us in this morning. We were seen immediately and both Kelly and the doctor were so kind. My husband has had ingrown toenails removed before but no one has done it so painlessly and thoroughly. This is the third podiatrist he has been to and we will search no longer! Dr Costopoulos was very highly recommended by our family doc, now I know why! read more

Nice Dr. He saw me on short notice for an ingrown toe nail. Was caring and I felt nearly no pain. Was on time and it all just took 15 minutes. I am happy. read more

Just had bunion surgery and cannot say enough about Dr. Costopoulos. I could not imagine having the surgery without just local lidocaine, but it worked out fine. I am three days post surgery and having some discomfort, but not the horrible pain predicated by some on the internet. I highly recommend Dr. Costopoulos, in fact I moved away from LA and returned for this surgery. read more

Amazing service! I called in complaining about my big toe because it was in pain. I wasn't too sure what was going on but it seemed to be a ingrown toenail. I told them it was an emergency and if it was possible to squeeze me in since each step was very painful and I had just started my day at work. I was quickly greeted with a smile upon arrival, sat inside the room and waited no more than 10 minutes from my initial phone call to have dr. Mark examine me. During my 10 minute wait they also made sure I was comfortable I was brought some water and a tiny snack. Totally unexpected service it was much appreciated. Anyways turns out I did have a ingrown toenail it was my first one ever and hopefully my last it was super painful. Dr. Mark made the procudure the least painful process possible. I went in Thursday and was ready to play soccer by Sunday. Thank you again for being prompt and providing great service. read more

Fantastic! I phoned this morning begging for an emergency appointment and the wonderful office staff figured out a way to help us. During the (same day!) appointment everybody was beyond polite, kind, informative and provided excellent care. Dr Costopoulus was kind, knowledgeable, caring and provided great care. He even made sure we had his cell so could call over the weekend if need be. The best! read more

Dr. Costopoulos and his staff are superb. I had an ingrown toenail that developed an infection overnight (I know, gross). I called and even though they were completely booked, they squeezed me in because they did not want me to go through the weekend and risk the infection getting worse. I was in and out in about half an hour. No pain, he and his staff were extremely friendly. Took care of the nail and infection. He was completely open and honest with the options I had; did not try to force costly procedures or approaches. No reason to look anywhere else if you need a podiatrist. read more

Very disappointed. I read all the Yelp reviews before I went to see Dr. Costopoulos and was excited to meet him. I have multiple issues with my left foot which is causing me great pain. I have ankle pain, arch pain, top of the foot pain, and lower shin pain. I am not able to put much pressure on my left foot walking down stairs and have problem bending my left foot so I always have to walk down the stairs sideways....and both my office and my house are full of stairs. I explained all this to the doctor. He never X-rayed my foot or even had me walk for him so he could see how my foot moves when I walk. My left foot is bigger than my right, and it is "spreading" due to flat footedness. He wiggled my foot around and said I had arthritis and sent me home. So, I still can't walk and no pain relief. An X-ray might have shown something different. Or maybe he is just THAT good, that he can see inside my foot and doesn't need an X-ray to determine what's wrong with my foot. I bought $50 arch supports at his suggestion.....some relief but not much. So now I am trying kinesiology sports tape which seems to be helping considerable more than the arch supports. But, definitely looking for a different doctor. read more

Went to see Dr. Costopolous to have an ingrown toenail removed and had a great experience! The Dr. and everyone in the office was very nice and helpful. The doctor and I discussed a couple of options and then he removed the toenail. I was dreading the shot but it was just a little pinch. Recover has been good and with no pain. I highly recommend Dr. Costopolous. read more

I found Dr. Costopoulos through YELP! Best podiatrist I have ever been to.I called in this morning after hurting my foot last night during a soccer match, the Staff was able to get me right in although they did not have any openings. They manage to get me in during my lunch break. The Doctor was very professional, he took some X-rays and explained that I did not have any broken bones. pshhhh.. what a relieve. He recommended icing my ankle and elevating my foot. The staff as well was very professional and treated me very nice. I definetly recommend this place if you have any feet/foot problems of that matter. read more

Dr.Costopoulos is truly incredible at what he does and was able to treat my ingrown toenail in an incredibly timely and kind manner. I was only visiting the Hermosa Beach area so the fact his office was able to fit me in same day was fantastic. I recommend and respect him to the highest regard and his service is second to none. read more

Yesterday was my second visit to Dr. Costopoulos. Easy and convenient location right on Sepulveda with plenty of parking right next to the door. Last was for fracture of tiny bone in top of foot a few years ago, and this time for plantar fasciitus. Doctor's clear and thorough explanations, suggestions, making orthodics, etc. helped me understand what was going on and made me confident problem will be resolved. If you're anywhere near Manhattan Beach don't even think of going anywhere else. read more

I recently went in to Dr. Costopoulos because I had pain along the bottom of my feet and it seemed to keep getting worse. Dr. Costopoulos immediately knew why I was having pain in that specific spot and explained the details using a picture on the wall. He highly recommended orthotics and without even having to ask he told me how much they would cost and when I would need to wear them to cure my pain. I am always skeptical about doctors' recommendations because I know they are simply working to make money, but I did not once question Dr. Costopoulos. He was very mellow and laid back but at the same time he was so knowledgeable and just as concerned about fixing my pain as I was. I scheduled another appointment to get the casting for my orthotics and then went in about 2 weeks later to pick them up. I brought my running shoes with me and Dr. Costopoulos made sure my orthotics fit comfortably in them. Thanks to Dr. Costopoulos, my pain is completely gone, and I am doing even more than I was before I got them. He is the best! read more

I had injured my toe which resulted in a bruised nail. It has been almost 4 months and no pain outside of the initial injury. I then developed a hole in the nail that wouldn't grow correctly and started forcing the nail around it to grow in like a bubble instead of flat. But still no pain. I woke up this morning and for the first time it hurt. I had an appt with my oncologist a few hours later and i showed him the toe which was now throbbing and red and he told me I need to see a podiatrist right away. I never thought I could get a same day appt especially on Good Friday but when I called his office the gal that answered was great! She told me the doctor was off today but asked what the issue was. Upon finding out the pain I was in she called Dr Costopoulus at home and asked if he could see me. They asked me to come in right then even though it was his day off! He quickly saw the issue and numbed my toe and took care of it. He made sure I felt zero pain and was very thorough on how to care for it afterwards. He also told me to call him - even on his cell - if I had any issues. I don't know many doctors that would come in on their day off for a patient they have never met before. I highly recommend him!! read more
