Excellent Doctor! highly recommend. Took time to listen and…read morewas thorough. No waiting, professional staff. $30 co pay.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with this provider…read more I first saw him in January 2026 after my medial foot pain, which I had been dealing with for nearly two years, flared up again. I had a total of five appointments between January and May and every visit felt extremely rushed. I felt like I had only a minute or two to explain my symptoms because there were so many patients scheduled before, during and after me. At my first appointment, I was prescribed a compounded topical cream that cost $85 through a boutique pharmacy and wasn't covered by insurance. Throughout my treatment, the provider repeatedly recommended stem cell/PRP injections, which cost thousands of dollars and also aren't covered by insurance, despite never performing a thorough hands-on examination of my foot. During one visit, he had a student shadowing him and asked her opinion on my diagnosis before either of them had physically examined my foot. After an MRI showed a chronic ATFL sprain, the provider began discussing surgery for this, which is on the lateral (outside) of the foot, even though my pain and issues had always been on the medial (inside) of my foot. Because I was desperate for relief, I agreed to try custom orthotics but they were designed to address the ATFL findings rather than my ongoing medial pain and suspected flatfoot/posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. They provided no relief. This final appointment to pick up the orthotics was my breaking point. Once again, stem cell/PRP injections were recommended and as the provider had one foot out the door, he said "You'll be okay, Mommy and Daddy can pay for it." I was shocked. As a young woman who fully supports herself and had already spent roughly $700 at this practice, in addition to thousands of dollars seeking answers elsewhere, I found the comment incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful and dismissive. After this experience, I sought a second opinion from an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon. He performed a comprehensive evaluation and confirmed that my pain was coming from the medial side of my foot due to ligament tear, validating the concerns I had expressed all along. I recently had the procedure done to repair the ligament and am very happy with the care I received elsewhere. Based on my experience, I absolutely do not recommend this provider. The bedside manner and ego of this provider was horrible. I felt rushed, unheard and repeatedly steered toward expensive treatments that were not covered by insurance, while the actual source of my pain went unaddressed.

Seong M Yoo, DPM - Sometimes it's not enough to just correct the bunion.  With this patient we made sure the ball of her foot pain was gone as well

Dr. Yoo is absolutely amazing! He was so patient and friendly when it came to my diagnosis and made…read morethe appointment so relaxing. I was super scared coming in for my bunions and corns and he completely reassured me and calmed me down. He explained the process with full detail and clarity and answered all of my questions with patience. The office itself is so clean and in a great location with a beautiful view. You can tell that the employees here care about their patients. I had a bunion on the edge near my 1st toe and 5th hammer toe surgery done and Dr. Yoo and his staff made it such an easy procedure for me, especially it being my first surgery ever. The operating room has a beautiful view of Santa Monica Pier and they played my favorite song (Coldplay - 'Yellow') so I felt really calm. He explained every step with so much detail so that I wouldn't be afraid and knew exactly what was going on. If you get queasy easily then don't look at the pictures! Dr. Yoo takes his time with every one of his patients and really makes you feel comfortable. He'll answer whatever question you have and will make sure you fully understand what's going on before continuing. Thank you Dr. Yoo and your team for taking care of me!

I've been to several podiatrists in the Santa Monica/West LA area…read more One podiatrist was nice but his office manager always messed up my insurance/billing! She was a (much older) woman so I tried to cut her some slack but after 3 times (and one *repeated* bill that was sent to collection--IN ERROR)-- I had to find someone else. It wasn't worth the headache. I also seemed to be his only patient under 75. Not a big deal--I just felt like my painful corn,etc. issues were not given as much attention as perhaps the concerns of his other patients. Dr. Yoo was super attentive and listened my questions/concerns thoroughly. He's a doctor you can relate to while also knowing his stuff! And I've never had an insurance/billing problem!
