My dad received hammer toe surgery from this guy almost a year ago and shortly after the surgery, Dr. Shupe retired. They said my dad's foot would be healed within 4-6 weeks, he is still healing and dealing with toe numbness, nerve damage due to them having to break the toe last minute during surgery. He also still has a crooked toe on that foot that they didn't treat in that surgery for some excuse they conjured. What kind of human being becomes unavailable while their patients are still recuperating from their work ? Narcissists,, sociopaths, etc. This is disturbing and concerning behavior from our so-called healers aka doctors. read more

Somehow, I fractured my toe on my left foot, and I met with Dr. Shupe and he told me to get X-rays. I did, and when I came back to him, he said I needed a new boot for my foot. He told me to call him on September 20 to find out when my boot had arrived. I called this office, and they completely forgot to order my boot. Now I have to wait a couple of weeks to get my boot. This office is completely incompetent, go somewhere else for your foot problems. read more

Dr. Shupe is the BEST of the BEST what an amazing Dr! I will not trust any other podiatrist but him. My Mom had a really bad open wound underneath her heel. She went three different places and no one did anything for her until she saw Dr. Shupe. He assisted her right away made time to see her right away took care of her like you would think was his own family. Thank you so much. You are an amazing Dr and I am so grateful that my Mom was in good hands under your care. read more

Philip R Shupe, DPM - 10 days later - Podiatrists Near Me - Glendale, California

See all

Dr. Shupe is very rude and he doesn't want to hear you. He sent me for an MRI and in my opinion the tech. didn't know how to do it, when I told Dr. Shupe that, he didn't agree with me and looking @ the report and CD he said they didn't catch the correct area of the leg and he'll order another MRI. When I called back few weeks later was told by his unprofessional front office person that he will refer me to Orthopedic because he doesn't do that. Today again I called sand she said she did get the authoriztion to see an orthopedic. I asked her if Dr. Shoupe doesn't do surgery because his card says he does, she said that Dr. said I'm an argumenta, I told her that means he doesn't want to see me and she said yes. What's wrong when I ask questions, that's why we go to Drs. to find answers for our questions. I don't know how people giving him 4 stars. read more

Dr. Shupe has been taking care of our family for years. His great sense of humor, caring and healing have kept us on our feet for well over a decade. My wife has been dealing with a severe case of plantar fasciitis for some time and he has recently done a procedure that has helped her immensely. I keep breaking my toes and he's always there with a smile to tape me up and send me on my way with a few check-ins while I heal. His office in the Glendale Adventist Medical Center complex is conveniently located with ample parking. Your feet will be in good hands with Dr. Shupe! I guarantee it. read more

I am a male in my late 60's in good general health, but had a slip and fall in late 2019. After being X-rayed and told at an urgent care that I had a "bad sprain", and despite the fact that the injury I did in fact sustain (Lisfranc/midfoot area) is fairly uncommon from a simple fall, Dr. Shupe nonetheless suspected it immediately and ordered an MRI to confirm the diagnosis. I elected to have the required surgery to correct the injury (two ruptured tendons and three small fractures). All through the process of pre-op, the surgery, post-op and a lengthy rehabilitation, I have received nothing but the best of professional and considerate care from Dr. Shupe. Even during the challenges of the Covid pandemic, Dr. Shupe and his office manager, Sally, have been fantastic. I am well on my way to a complete recovery from a pretty serious foot injury and am very grateful to Dr. Shupe and his staff. I can not recommend them any higher. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shupe and Sally. I have had a great experience and procedure. Dr. Shupe is a very skilled surgeon. He explains everything in detail and answers all questions or concerns you may have. Both Dr. Shupe and Sally are very welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Shupe read more

Dr. Shupe is one of the nicest and most caring doctors I've ever been in contact with. He listens, he also educates us, the patient with what's going on so there's no confusion. Every time I've been in the office, he has been 100% professional and I appreciate everything that he has done! His staff and everyone that works with him are amazing and I highly recommend them! Well done Dr. Shupe and staff! read more

I had pain on the bottom of my second toe, it was so bad that I really couldn't walk correctly anymore. I went to see Dr Shupe, he took his time and was very caring. He sent me to get an X-ray and an MRI, then he explained to me that I have a torn ligament and the beginning of a planters plate. Also, I have a bunion and the big toe is going to the left. He explained the whole surgery to me and what to expect. He took his time and made sure I understood everything. The surgery was a success and even on my follow ups he was very caring and made sure I was feeling well. I'm on my 6th week of recovery now and starting to walk. It feels very nice to walk and know I'm almost there to walk pain free! Thank you Dr. Shupe! read more

Office is extremely disorganized. Calls usually go to voicemail, even during business hours. Phone calls are rarely returned. The office failed to submit the necessary information to Blue Shield to authorize my MRI, despite me calling several times over the course of a week. Who knows when they will get around to doing it? Hopefully the tumor on my foot is not cancerous, and is not spreading throughout my body while I wait for the office to submit the necessary paperwork to the insurance company. So frustrating! Avoid this practice at all costs. I will never go back. read more

This review is for Sally she's so rude and has no customer service what so ever doesn't know how to talk to patients she hates her job which is sad read more

This is a great doctor.. he really helped me out.. pretty much went the extra mile for me and took the time to listen to me as most doctors don't even do that these days.. he completely healed my foot.. where my other doctor misdiagnosed me . His staff was very friendly as well . five stars ! read more

I went to see Dr. Shupe after being to several doctors who couldn't find out what was wrong with my ankle. On my first visit, he literally spent about 40 minutes with me trying to figure out what it was (this alone proved he was a good doctor). After looking at an x-ray, he had a theory of what was happening, but couldn't say for sure. So he sent my off with instructions of what to the next time my ankle locked up. His theory ended being correct and it was a very simple surgery to remove a small, loose bone in my ankle joint. About 2 years later and my ankle still has not locked up since the surgery. read more

Always liked dr. Shupe but his office staff is intolerable and patronizing. The chriopractic person that shares office space thinks he can mind my business which I suspect may be a HIPA violation of sorts, something I'll be looking into for sure. It's a shame he isn't surrounding himself with better support staff. I came into the office with an emergency and was infirmwd the doctor was too busy to see me, which I can appreciate and requested a copy of my records so I could be seen elsewhere, this request was met with denial. read more

Dr. Shupe is amazing. He is very thorough and explains everything in detail. He has the cold laser treatment which is cutting edge and speeds recovery! I Highly recommend him. read more

Work on your social skills, Dr. Shupe. And while your at it teach your administrative assistant. Try not to grow frustrated or annoyed if a patient asks a question. Sometimes that happens in a doctor's office. read more

My experience with Dr. Shupe and his staff couldn't have been more positive. Dr. Shupe examined my foot and ankle carefully and explained his diagnosis in detail. I really appreciated both his kindness and his professionalism. I don't understand the negative comments about his receptionist, she was lovely. read more

I have had recurring capsulitis in metatarsal joints of my feet. Cortisone shots were the standard treatment by other podiatrists. Dr. Shupe uses a new technology "cold laser". Quick relief and much faster healing in just two treatments. Very pleasant and effective treatment. Not painful at all!!! Cold laser treatments have been used in Europe at least 20 years. Why is the USA so far behind? The cold laser can be used for carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, neck injuries -- also to speed post-operative healing. I highly recommend Dr. Shupe and this treatment. read more

Dr. Shupe is a very kind, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable doctor. He has his own practice so he probably isn't in a network of doctors. His office is conveniently located off the 134 with ample self parking (no cost). His office is rather small but he is always busy as he spends his time between Glendale and Orange County. He is the only doctor in the office so appointments might be a little tough to get sometimes. I had to go to get my big toe nails cut close to the skin. He explained everything that he was doing and what the results would be. He handles all things related to podiatry, corrective surgery, and injuries. read more

Front desk lady who answers phone is rude, doesn't know what she is talking about regarding insurance and not helpful in any way. Her attitude problem makes the practice not worth pursuing at all. No thank you. read more

I don't know how I start ,all I can say Dr Philip he is the best in the world I took my mom here and she was very happy ,,,and he always smiling and have good attitude. Thank you Dr Philip will see you next visit. read more

Dr. Shupe performed multiple surgeries on me, including a subtalar arthroeresis on both feet, and a gastroc release in both calves. Initially my feet hurt pretty bad for a while, but over the past couple of years I really have noticed a positive difference in my feet. I had the subtalar arthroeresis due to flat feet that was causing tremendous amounts of feet pain for months that wouldn't go away. Dr. Shupe did an excellent job pre-, peri-, and post-operatively. He explained the procedure well, I felt very comfortable going into surgery that day, and the follow-up care was great as well. He gave me multiple options and was supportive of whichever I chose. I highly recommend this podiatrist for all of your feet issues! read more

I saw Dr. Shupe at his office in the Glendale Adventist Medical Center's, Lee Hughes Building. His office is conveniently located near a very large parking area.

He explained exactly what my surgery would include as well as my recovery so that I had no surprises. His office staff is very kind and efficient. I would highly recommend Dr. Shupe to my family and friends. read more

Dr Shupe had done a bunionectomy on me 5 yrs ago and the pins he had put in broke and were causing much pain and hammertoes on next two toes. On Dec 10,2012 he did another surgery to repair but couldn't get the pins out and broke them so just left them in foot plus implants in other toes. About a week later I got an infection in that foot and toes and when I called him when he was on vacation to tell him how much pain in was in he said "just lay down and put foot up". Three days later when he finally saw it he said "you have MYRSA why didn't you call me?" Put me on oral medication and sent me home. Day later foot was still so sore called him on Sat to advice him pain was too horrendous and he said "you are making too much out of this" and the vial I used was out of date you need to come back Mon morning and will take another sample". Immediately went to hospital and was admitted in Isolation for a week immediate surgery for osteomyelitis. It is now June 17,2013 I am still somewhat homebound with very limited physical activity. I have been through 2 more surgeries, hospital stays, living off food from pic lines administered by husband. Needless to say Dr Shupe and his surgery of Dec 10 has destroyed my life physical, emotionally, relationally, and most of all financially. Nice guy but be very careful what he lets you talk you into. The more surgeries he can whip through the more he can collect from your insurance company and I am convinced that is all he cares about. read more
