Wonderful being under Dr. Levi's care. It's rare to find a specialist who is so genuinely there for you when you need help. I sat in his exam room engaging with united healthcare to authorize orthotics for nearly 2 hours. His staff amended in and out saying the need the room but Dr. Levi asked them to be patient. He doesn't need to work, you a tell that from his success and all the celebrity letters. He does it for the passion. He's also pragmatic, isn't 'hand-wavy' with new tech, and focuses on fundamentals. For example, he used traditional hand casts for orthotics vs. lasers. Gotta say, I like these. The only minor area for improvement is the administrative side; the office a digital experience for tracking billing, viewing receipts, or managing records online. It's a bit of a manual process, but honestly, for the level of care and expertise Dr. Levi provides, it is a very small price to pay. If you want a podiatrist who actually cares about the 'why' behind your pain, this is the place to go. read more

Tremendous knowledge and help, very caring. Been twice for significant injuries, huge help both times. read more

Very happy to have discovered Dr Levi. After breaking a bone in my foot, my own doctor referred Dr Levi and a visit to his clinic was a game changer; Dr Levi really went out of his way to inform and help me understand what I needed to do to help in the healing of this fracture and very much felt that this was a doctor who practices the ( lost?) art of Medicine. Really appreciated his skill and care and his connections with the medical community. His office team are also wonderful and super responsive. I recommend you make an appointment to see Dr Levi for any podiatric conditions. read more

Went to see Dr. Levi both because I have incredibly flat feet and what having increasing pain in a toe that I needed to figure out. He was GREAT! We figured out the source of the issue (bone spur) and he talked me through treatment plan options. We ended up doing a cortisone shot + orthopedic insoles (that he molded himself) and life has been SOOOOO much better since then. HIGHLY recommend!!! read more

Dr. Levi is amazing and truly cares about his patients. I am two weeks post surgery, and everything has gone so smoothly. He goes above and beyond at every step, before, during, and after the procedure. The office staff are equally as wonderful. If you need a podiatrist I highly recommend Dr. Levi. read more

Dr. Levi is literally the most attentive doctor I have ever had. I needed a large, painful lump on my pinkie toe removed and he personally spent an hour over two phone calls to United Healthcare convincing them to approve the surgery (he's in network with UHC). The surgery revealed that it was actually a gout tophus (extremely rare for someone who has never had a gout flare-up) and as the sutures were healing I actually got my first two actual gout flare-ups in that toe, complicating the recovery process. Dr. Levi reached out to check on me twice a week and even had me come in on a weekend so he could personally inspect the healing process and rebandage it himself. He also advised me on gout medications to request from my G.P. He clearly still loves being a podiatrist and truly cares about the welfare of his patients! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Levi. He is caring, nice, and helped me fix my problem wonderfully. I'm thankful that I went to him. read more

I searched the web for a good podiatrist for mom and found Dr. Levi who's been amazing in professionalism and patient care. Attentive and knowledgeable with keen insight about the issues. Fast forward, mom feels great and pain free. Highly recommend his professionalism. Thank you Dr. Levi read more

Dr. Levi is the best! I've had an ingrown toenail on my big toe for several years. I'm with Kaiser, so I had them 'fix' the problem about 2 years ago. But after only a few weeks the pain returned and the nail grew in crooked again. So.. back to Kaiser to start this ridiculous process all over again. Lo and behold, the same result. Cut, wait, pain, cut, wait pain. Finally, I was fed up and figured I would just find the top guy and pay out of pocket. I don't know what the magic of Dr. Levi is, experience, good mojo, who knows. But now, about 6 months after seeing Dr. Levi, I can't stop looking at my big toe. The nail is growing back the way nature intended it to! I mean, I just can't believe it. Thank you, Dr. Levi, I'm so happy to finally have a normal, pain-free toe again. You're the best! read more

Dr Levi is a wonderful podiatrist. He's kept me running and healthy. Our whole family goes for orthotics and care when problems arise.

Super friendly office staff. Instead of bunion surgery, Dr. Levi recommended custom orthotics. Zero pain now immediately after wearing the orthotics. Dr. Levi is very focused, caring and experienced. Highly recommend! read more

Quality and friendly care. Friendly and supportive staff. High degree of professional and wealth of knowledge

There is only one Dr. Levi. I can't say enough about how extraordinary he is as a doctor and as a very special being. He is a consummate professional and highly knowledgeable . With his gentle and calm demeanor and skilled hands I felt instantly at ease. I knew right away I'd be taken excellent care of. And I was. I had hammertoe surgery recently and was nervous about it. Dr.Levi took time to assure me it would go smoothly. He explained everything in detail. My experience at The Surgery Center was amazing. Everyone was respectful and kind. I was admitted quickly and right away tucked into a comfortable bed with a heated blanket and taken in for the procedure shortly thereafter. There was nothing to be nervous about. Dr. Levi and his team were so attentive and loving. My surgery was and is a complete success. Dr. Levi's vast knowledge and experience is unmatched. Do yourself a favor and look no further for a podiatrist. Very Truly, Eva Parkinson PS I want to also say, his entire staff is incredible, Kathy, Erin, Lupe all wonderful. read more

Dr. Levi has been a long time, family friend and apart from being a consummate professional, he is patient, knowledgeable and explains things in detail so that you understand what is happening.

His quality of care is impeccable.. read more

I have had a severe pain in my left foot which occurred whenever I bent over or got up from a chair. I saw 2 different chiropodists over 5 years ago and they both told me I had bone damage, get new shoes, and there was nothing they could do about it. I was resigned to my fate until recently I noticed it responded to being massaged, so I decided to visit a chiropodist again. Dr Levi took an X-ray and much to my surprise he said my bones looked fine and I had Arthritis. He then told me could fix it. He gave me a shot in my foot and the pain went away. Not only did he solve that problem but for some mysterious reason my balance, which had been deteriorating, suddenly got much better and I feel 10 years younger. So far the pain has not returned and everything is normal! I would also point out his office staff was excellent and he was both caring and professional. read more

Greatest doctor. Very happy with dr Levi and his diagnosis and treatment.I highly recommend dr Levi

Dr. Levi is the most caring and empathetic doctor I have ever been to. He is very personable and always making sure I am at ease in his office. His whole team of staff is also very friendly. I always enjoy the conversation Dr. Levi makes with me and am fascinated by how knowledgeable he is as he quickly diagnose and treat any issues I get. I am glad that my PCP in Beverly Hills recommended him. (I was initially surprised that he gave a referral all the way to Santa Monica from Beverly Hills, but he said Dr. Levi is the best and I should see him.) He is definitely my go-to doctor when it comes to my feet! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Levi! My podiatry issue is rather complex, and through his treatment it has gotten a lot better and brought great relief to the pain. I've gone to many other podiatrists and so far my problems haven't returned. The office is clean, with very professional courtesy. There is a friendly front office woman who has worked for Dr. Levi for almost 20 years, which speaks volumes about retaining a great staff. There are also tons of letters and cards from thankful patients for their healing and recovery, very neat to look and read through. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Levi's for the past few years and I highly recommend him. He's produced several pairs of custom orthotics for my unstable ankles and as a fellow runner, he understands how to safely compensate for running issues. He's empathetic, thoughtful, friendly and professional. What I like most is that he doesn't push surgery, in fact he treats it as the very last resort. I trust Dr. Levi with any foot-related issues. Fun fact - he has a heart for animals, too! read more

There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for my wonderful doctor, Michael Levi. When I got to Dr Levi I had incredible foot pain in the sesamoid region of my right foot. I had been through five months of treatment, trying everything from a walking boot, to a hard cast to a wheelchair. I felt like I had aged 30 years and was unable to work or walk. When I walked into Dr. Levi's office I was greeted by the kindest medical team and happy to meet their emotional support puppy, Sebastian. The appointment was incredible. Dr. Levi told me he had seen my condition before and that we were going to treat it with shockwave therapy. He is the first doctor who had a real solution from his own experience treating sesamoiditis. After the first shockwave treatment I was able to walk out of the office. Dr. Levi told me we were going to get aggressive and we did! My foot felt about 75-85% better than when I walked in. That was followed up by 2 more treatments about ten days apart. Each time my foot felt better. I have to say I didn't always follow Dr. Levi's suggestions about activity and did a hike up a large hill that was many miles. I'm grateful that I was able to go back for a couple of small shocks after the main treatment. My foot is almost back to normal after only 8 weeks of treatment. Lastly, Dr. Levi made himself available for questions and concerns throughout the entire process. The main things I learned from Dr. Levi are: 1. Listen to my body 2. Love what I do and it isn't work 3. I can overcome any obstacles or naysayers 4. Study John Wooden's pyramid Dr. Levi is an amazing human being. He loves what he does and cares about his patients. I am really looking forward to reading his book Wednesday's with Wooden and am sad I won't be able to visit my podiatry family as frequently since my treatment has been completed. read more

He's really knowledgeable and his staff is so nice looking forward to going back and getting treated again :)

Probably the best medical experience of my life. Dr. Levi and his staff take extreme care of their patients from start to finish and they should be the standard for the entire healthcare industry. As soon as you walk in, the staff is warm and helpful. You feel like they are personally invested in your recovery. They are all good people with a terrific experience. I ended up needing a MRI and not only did Dr. Levi get me into a same day appointment, he took the time to call me after working hours at 8:30 pm (pm!!!!) to go over my results so I wouldn't have to wait overnight. I couldn't believe it. He didn't rush me and he answered every question I had. I can't say one bad thing about my experience in this office and I highly, highly, highly recommend him. read more

I don't like liars an he lied on me but doesn't talk about all I was doing for him at equinox when ever he needed help to swim an with his phone I never needed to go to him there are plenty of foot doctors out there who don't brag about what they do I'm happy with my new foot doctor it's always about principle there very honest an don't lie read more

Dr Levi is great! They can take X-rays at their office, so they can diagnose breaks quickly. They can also give relief for foot pain if you're having trouble walking. The doctor is super helpful. One time he even gave me cash for the cash only parking. Fortunately the parking takes credit card now., but still, what a guy! I tried to pay him back and he wouldn't even let me! read more

Very patient and thorough. I really love his bedside manner. He explains everything going on, and has great recommendations. I would recommend. read more

I was waiting for one hour for my appointment and he didn't show up. Completely disappointed. Heard a lot of good things about him unfortunately he didn't help nor his assistants except telling me that they are sorry and they don't know when he'll be back from his appointment. Not a top dollar costumer service I would say read more

Had a nagging achilles injury for several months after years playing sports. Dr. Levi prescribed me a pair of custom orthotics (wearing them now) and treated me to a unique type of shockwave treatment -well worth it, since the injury is going away. Still need to follow the correct rehab protocol, but he's well worth a visit and BTW check out his footwear hall of fame from famous basketball players in the lobby... oh yeah, he is also the foot doctor for the Clippers. read more
