This doctor ridiculed me for not knowing to stop taking terbinafine after a month (as a nurse) when I was just following my prescription from another doctor. He told me my liver could be damaged, but didn't think to order liver function tests. I had to ask for them. He told me, "damage is irreversible, so it's pointless to check, but I'll order them if it makes you feel better." I heard him telling his student in the hallway, "how is she a nurse?" Maybe next time, wait until I'm out of the building, or don't talk badly about your patients in the hallway (just my two cents). I come back for my checkup a few months later, and I ask what the results were for my liver function tests. After all, he instilled all this fear that my liver could be compromised. The least he could do is address that. He says, "I think they're okay." I question, "what do you mean, 'you think'?" He leaves the room to check and returns. He says "they're fine," and hands me a print out. He proceeds with his assessment of my toe USING HIS PEN, no hand hygiene, with his bare hands. He touches my toe with the pen and I literally had to wipe off a smidge of ink when I got home. Infection control, who? That breaks so many violations. I don't understand how this man has the credentials to practice medicine. Not an ounce of professionalism in Dr. Massihi's body. Avoid this office at all costs. read more

The office is very irresponsible. They do not pick up the phone or return calls. The front desk took down my insurance information booked my appointment but been trying to reach them to figure some information out about my appointment and they will not return the calls. Very unprofessional and I will contact my insurance to insure they don't charge for any reason. Be careful with this office read more

This wasn't a great experience. The facility itself is not very private, we could hear every conversation the doctor and his patients had from within their private exam rooms. What bothered me the most was the doctor's lack of professionalism. He examined my toe...WITH A PEN! He did not have gloves on and moved my toes around with a freaking pen. ‍ It's also almost impossible to get to speak to someone if you were to call the offices. Cancelled my second appointment with him. I will say, if you just want/need a Worker's Comp exam, which is clearly what he specializes in, this is your place. read more

Today is my first time seeing Dr Massihi , he is very knowledgeable, professional, on point , also front desk daisy was so kind , office is busy office but they know how to manage it , i highly recommend Dr Massihi . read more

He's an awesome Doctor he cares a lot for his patients I was taking my mom to him before my mom passed away . My mom was glad with Doctor Allen and now I have appointment with him in two weeks read more

Front staff did not make eye contact and provided unsolicited medical advise and contradicted each other as well as the doctor. One told me that my appointment was unnecessary. The doctor only provided about 2 minutes of his time for my appointment and ushered me out as I was asking questions about my foot. This does not appear to be a professional practice and the most basic components of healthcare and doctor-patient interaction is lacking. I see others have written positive reviews. I hope that my situation is unique. Nevertheless, such unprofessional behavior is unacceptable, especially in a medical practice. read more

Hands down, BEST MEDICAL EXPERIENCE IN 60 years of seeing doctors. Unbelievably Excellent, start to finish. In and out in 30 minutes, no waiting. Receptionist was good. After years of dealing with bunion/arthritis tendinitis, hallucinations rigidus, not knowing what to do, seeing 2 different doctors and visiting another treatment center, this guy made it 100% clear what was going on and what I needed to do. I feel like years of psychological burden (not knowing) was taken off my feet in one quick 20 minute visit. read more

I called to make an appointment, and the receptionist told me they didn't take my insurance. When I tried to explain that I had received a letter from my insurance stating that they did and had given me their office's number, she hung up on me. I tried calling back multiple times and it went to voicemail. read more

Dr. Massihi is an excellent doctor. He is very knowledgeable in his field and also quite efficient at what he does, being very A to B without rushing or brushing off. He is carting and has an excellent bedside manner, along with a very friendly demeanor. I strongly recommend him. read more

I think reviews should be based off the doctor himself and how he is with patients, rather than the receptionist and other staff members. He is a great doctor; has been treating my grandmother's feet for about half a year now. I've noticed the attitude of the receptionist, who hasn't, but that has absolutely nothing to do with my grandmothers treatments, or anyone's treatment for that matter. Thank you Dr. Allen Massihi for always patiently treating my grandmother and thoroughly explaining steps we need to take on our end to ensure the best health for her. read more

I come here every 3 mnts. Because i have a bad foot .and i get Cortisone shots. The Doctor is really nice .great attitude. The whole staff is great and friendly and polite. read more

Massihi Allen DPM - Best foot doctor ever. Very nice and polite. All the staff is great and polite. Friendly doctor office - Podiatrists Near Me - Glendale, California

First of all, front desk staff was very disrespectful towards us because when I talked to her, she did not make any eye contact. The doctor didn't seem like he was a doctor. He asked why I came and I told him I need surgery, and he said if I were you, I would just leave it like that. He has no experience and said surgery is not needed. I went to him after two other doctors who said surgery is needed, he is the only one who said I don't need surgery. I brought a CD of the x-ray of my foot before then when I went to the office again, they said you didn't give us the CD. I wouldn't recommend anyone to come here! read more

Great doctor he treats me well and is very nice to me he is great he give me the right medication

When I broke my 5th Metatarsal (Jones' fracture) earlier this year, I was left with a ball of stress and absolutely no direction. I had no idea that there is this massive divide between podiatrists vs orthopedists. Glendale Memorial gave me the name of an Ortho, only to find out that he worked on hips and shoulders. No feet! I mean, not only do I have to do extensive research on this now, but I had to find the right kind of doctor for my needs too?! Guh! I tried 2 Orthos, and felt so frustrated and helpless after both visits. So I took a chance on trying a podiatrist, and Dr. Massihi made all my stress go away on the very first visit. Unlike the first 2 Orthos, Massihi showed me exactly what was going on with my fracture, what needed to be done and what will happen if I follow doctors orders. He told me that if I followed his instructions to the T, I'd be back on my feet again in 2 months. So he put a cast on my foot and made the slow progression from cast and crutch to moonboot, staying off my foot and always using my crutches. And sure enough after 2 months, I could run, jump and do as I pleased. 100% restored! When I asked him about trying homeopathic or non-westernized medicine, he always gave a very logical, open-minded opinion, but never personally recommended it to me. The only thing he ever prescribed to me was heavy duty, extra strength ibuprofen and said that the secret is to relax and rest. And guess what - it's true. Every time I'd come in for a check up, he'd check the bottom of my cast for dirt and ware, which is how the docs know if you've been using your bad foot too much. I'm proud to report that the bottom of my cast was consistently clean, which always pleased him to see. Uncoincidentally, every visit showed dramatic improvement. I never want to go through that ordeal again, but I'm glad I found someone who calmed me down with facts and a positive outlook. Massihi made me a believer and he'll make you one too. read more

DO NOT GO!! WORST DECISION.... I had ankle pain on my left foot for a long while when I visited Dr. Massihi, and I left with the same foot pain and unnecessary bills to pay. I usually don't write about my bad experiences, but I wouldn't want someone else wasting their time and money like I did here. So heres my experience... I felt as if the doctor would rush me in and out the office as fast as physically possible, he would talk SO fast that I would literally be out the office 5 minutes after I got in without understanding what he was talking about. He didn't show any care towards his patients in any way that I could see. All he did was make me wear a boot for a few weeks (and keep going back so he can "check up" on it...YA RIGHT! and send me back to keep wearing the boot again.) One of the most inconvenient things was he doesn't have an x-ray area in his office, SO after you get there, park, get in, get checked... you have to leave the office, drive further away, wait, get x-rayed, drive back to the office and start all over again.....SO NOT WORTH IT! & Lastly....I actually got sent 2 totally different statements in the mail of what I supposedly owed, and on the statements they had billed me for days I HADNT EVEN GONE INTO THE OFFICE.....I mean what kind of a doctor office is this???? Trust me, I have been to my fair share of doctors and I would NEVER recommend this office to ANYONE. I shouldn't have listened to the person who sent me here in the first place.... read more

Very knowledgeable doctor when it comes to foot and ankle issues. He was able to diagnose an issue I was having for which I had seen 2 others with no avail. His office is very clean and the staff are courteous as well. Furthermore, there was an issue with my insurance and they called blue shield and resolved it for me. Recommended. read more

The receptionist is very rude, she doesn't know how to do her job whatsoever. She was literally taking selfies instead of doing her job. And she had the audacity to give me attitude for no reason. read more

Worse Experience! His front receptionist has no customer service skills, The blonde lady. They made me have a surgery, promising me they will treat my heel. I wish I never trusted them. I did it, but it was the worse experience ever, I had the worse pain after and my heel did not get better. He would give me pain killers and say just wait it will go away. I would call the office and tell them I am in pain, they did not care. For Months I was in pain, then I found Eric Wee canoga park, AWeSome podiatrist!! I highly recommend him to everyone. He seriously Healed my foot. Oh on top of how awesome the doctor is, the manager and the receptionist are very kind and professional. I do not Recomment Allen Massihi read more

Dr. Allen is so great to me and my family he has taken care of all of my podiatry issues and problems are used to have corn onions but now my feet are so good and healthy if you're ever in the window and you have podiatry issues I highly suggest you come to his office great service great staff as well but in all honesty he truly cares about his patients read more

I was calling to ask about my wife's appointment and the lady's that answer me kept on hanging up on me for no reason ...bad customer service read more

IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK........ I was refereed to this guy for an ingrown toenail. I called and asked if they took Aetna, they said yes and I made an appt. He did a QUICK procedure, before he ran to lunch, to remove an ingrown nail from my big toe in Jan 2013. They took a $50 copay as well. Went to a follow up appointment, where I was asked for another $50 copay. I asked Massihi if the toe was infected because it still hurt. He said no infection. Turns out that it hurt because he didn't do the procedure properly. He didn't remove the ingrown nail. In Feb 2013 I had to go see a Physician, who removed an even larger piece of nail than Massihi did. DOING IT TWICE WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, RIGHT! 10 months later I get a statement from MB Medical Billing of Glendale showing that Aetna paid for most of the services and then reversed their payment. That I owed additional $625 for a botched procedure by the sketchy quack. Turns out asking for a copay was a ruse. Dr. Massihi has no relationship with Aetna. His office lied and he didn't do a proper job. MB Billing prepared and sent me a fraudulent statement with payments and reversals shown. Misrepresentation at the least. Aetna told me they never paid a thing. They don't work with Massihi because he charges too much for services ( plus he is incompetent at doing them). So, the doctor stinks, the office lies about coverage partners and the billing firm creates false statements to cover it up. Now they're threatening to send me to collection for services that were never done properly. I am reporting them to the Attorney General, the BBB and CA Medical Board for fraudulent practices and false billing statements.What a setup over there in Glendale. read more

I recently had really bad pain in my heels, which started on one side and ended having pain in both. Called Dr.Massihi's office and they got me in right away. Went saw him and within few days my pain was gone. Everyone was great at the office and he is great himself. I'm so happy he was recommended to me by a friend, and I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great doctor. read more

Dr. Massihi is an excellent doctor. I have come to him throughout the years for various foot conditions. He is always kind, courteous, Professional, and knowledgeable. The front desk girl Marine is always nice and polite. I highly recommend Dr. Massihi! read more

I recently went to see Dr. Massihi for my ankle pain and I had a great experience. I got the appointment the same day and everyone was very helpful and nice. Took care of my ankle pain and had no issues. Definitely recommend Dr.Massihi to anyone who has any type of ankle/foot pain. read more

Horrible place. The front desk receptionist is a total b*tch. I don't care what ethnicity you are, or what your cultural background is, when you work for a doctor's office you need to be warm and kind to the patients. No one likes going to the doctor. Dr. Massihi himself rushes you in and out. He talks so fast his voice reminds me of those car commercials you hear on the radio when they have to read you the fine print in 15 seconds. It's a very "low brow" place. I had to get a referral to go elsewhere, I couldn't take the overall atmosphere any longer. Ugh. read more

Worst medical office ever! not only his diagnosis was wrong but I started receiving bills from him for supplies i had never received . Tried calling his billing department, but they weren't helpful at all. They advised I talk to Dr. Massihi directly. I tried calling his office for months and leaving a message for him to return my calls. He never called back, and finally today i saw the collection in my credit report!!!! Really???? is that how you run your business? charge people for services or supplies they never received ? You are supposed to help people not cause more pain. read more

Dr. Massihi is terrific and someone I would highly recommend. I'd been having major heel pains and visited multiple Podiatrist in West LA without any luck. I finally got recommended to Dr. Massihi and decided to give him a shot. I drove to his office in Glendale and was treated warmly with his staff (always a good start). Then Dr. Massihi personally came out to introduce himself and proceeded to walk me over to his offices; I could tell based on the questions he was asking me that he knew his stuff. By the time he finished his evaluation, he already had a solution to my heel pain and explained to me his game plan for getting me back to normal. To be honest, I thought his game plan wouldn't work because it was so drastically different then the approaches recommended by other Podiatrist. But I was wrong! Within 2 weeks my heel pain subsided drastically and it was completely gone by week 3!!!! I'm so happy! Dr. Massihi, thank you so much! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Massihi for almost 4 years, now.From day 1 he has been very helpful, preformed 2 surgeries on my feet, and even gave me a pretty good discount (50%),when I had to pay out of pocket. I don't care what some say,the staff is good. I have no intentions going to a different doctor, probably, ever.Haters can hate, but he is a good doctor. read more

Great Doctor! Very friendly, courteous, professional and caring. He is very experienced and truly enjoys helping patients get well!!!

Dr. Massihi and his office staff are very professional. He treated me with great care and attention.

Worse front desk customer service they are rude. Went in for foot problem was advised that I needed a special insole for my shoes due to the work field I'm constantly on my feet. I'm not sure who in that office made the verification that the insoles were covered by my insurance. Non the less I got the insoles later I got a bill from this office for $500 I went into the Doctor office to clear this up and the doctor himself tells me that insoles are not covered by insurance. I reminded him that he told me it was covered otherwise I would have never agreed to get them knowing they would be $500. Now he is offering to reduce the cost $300 but I need to pay for the bill like yesterday. Very unprofessional in their behalf especially the Doctor assuming we have that money in hand when in the first place they failed to or maybe tricked me to get this insoles so they can later tell me my insurance didn't cover it and I'm forced to pay out of my pocket. I have relative that I had previously refer to that Doctor before this issue occur and same thing was offered to her that she needed special insoles. read more
