I've had ongoing issues with this office's communication and billing processes. I paid $200 out of pocket for custom orthotics after being told the office would submit the claim to my insurance so I could be partially reimbursed. However, my insurance never received anything, and the office has not provided any paperwork I can use to file the claim myself (when I asked, they refused). The front desk couldn't help, the manager was unavailable, and I was repeatedly told different things. Even when I spoke directly with Dr. Darragh, promises were made (he claimed to be very behind on billing), but nothing happened. It's been extremely frustrating, and now I'm past my insurance's filing deadline with no documentation. The medical care itself was fine, but the administrative side has been disorganized and unhelpful. It's clear that once Dr. Darragh has your money, there's no incentive for him to submit to insurance on your behalf. I would caution anyone considering this office to be aware of the significant communication and billing issues. read more

Appreciate doctor Darragh calling me and explaining reason for some issues that occurred at the office. Doctor Darragh cares about his patients and tries to provide best care. read more

he spent 3 minutes maximum with me and didnt explain my MRI. This doctor should retire i will never come back

Dr. Darragh is terrific! I broke my foot and reached out to his office. They were very understanding and quick in arranging for my visit. Dr. Darragh's approach is easy going and down to earth. Not a lot of technical jargons and no pressure at all. If you are looking for no frills no complications, Dr. Darragh is your pediatrist! I would recommend him to my friends. read more

Update: Would like to apologize for jumping the gun. I received a call from Stacey who is the office manager at the office. She took the time to explain to me how Medicare works along with HMO's as I was only going based off what I knew and my Fathers experience. She was very kind to address the issues and was so very professional with me at the same time. She contacted me directly and I was the one that was wrong not understanding how the two work since this issue never came up with my Father. Based on my call and Stacey reaching out to me I now understand how it works. So for that I'm changing my review. Dr Darragh use to take care of my Father David Lopez for over 3 years before he passed away in 2020. He was very compassionate, kind and took the time with him every time we went to see him. At that time his staff there at the Artesia location was also kind, knowledgeable and caring. After my dad's passing I referred two of my friends elderly Mom's to see Dr. Darragh unfortunately it seems the office staff has changed. My Dad's nurse had advised us that Medicare offered podiatry services and for 3 years they took that with no issue. As of today, my girlfriends Mom went in for her follow up appointment at the Redondo Beach location and while in the room asked her mom for her insurance info and at the time, she gave the girl her other insurance and was told that they do not take that insurance and that there would be an $85 office visit, even though all her previous appointments were billed directly thru Medicare. Her daughter was downstairs awaiting AAA when the employee asked her mom for the insurance info. Julia Beltran does not speak very good English but was told that she could no longer see Dr. Darragh as they do not take her insurance, but yet they did for the past year under Medicare. I received a call from her daughter Julie stating that she loved Dr. Darragh and didn't understand why there was a copayment for this appointment when there never was one at all the other appointments. Both of my referrals Julia Beltran as well as Barbara Redmerski are now being told that they do not take their insurance but there is no mention of Medicare. Why after all this time are they being told otherwise. Is there a problem with the new staff not knowing that several elderly patients go to him because of Medicare. Its a shame that my referrals who are both extremely happy with Dr. Darragh are being turned away because the new staff is not aware of Medicare. Dr. Darragh or Mrs. Darragh can you please look into this for me. Why after all this time are they now asking for other insurance and why isn't Medicare sufficient now when it was then. I feel responsible for the referral and wanted to bring this to your attention. In hopes you don't lose patients because of this, and felt you needed to know. Thank you, Sally Lopez (714) 381-6414 read more

He es too busy, not enough time for your visit. The assistant help more than him. She gave all what can help me to deal with my foot pain, he just too busy in his office. read more

Office staff is a nightmare . No one is helpful nor follows up with you. I called this office more than 7 times just to follow up on an authorization. My grandpa suffered from foot pain and waited months before the staff actually did their job and submitted an authorization for it . Mia , Stacy and Ariel need better team dynamics. No one knows what their doing. The staff runs a docs office and this doctor needs to get a better team . It's a horrible look on the podiatrist. I will be getting a new podiatrist for my grandpa . If you want a office who doesn't care about their patients then come here . read more

I had a hard time figuring out which building the office was actually in. I walked the long way around unnecessarily! It is right across the Galleria Mall, on the corner of Kingsdale & Artesia. There is a medical supply store on the ground level. Dr. Darragh took a good look at my feet, and we discussed the painful areas. He watched me walk down the hall, then took X-Rays, and came back to tell me what might be causing my pains. He suggested Orthotic inserts. The staff is very pleasant and checked to see if my insurance covered Orthotics, turns out, it doesn't. Someone came in to tell me they didn't. They didn't coerce me into paying cash outright, instead just explained to me what my options were. Dr. Darragh came back in and I decided I'd wait until the New Year to decide what I could do then. He suggested giving me an injection in each heel to alleviate some of the pain. It is a temporary fix. He said the more permanent solution would be to get the Orthotics. I agreed to the injection of cortisone & anesthetic. He explained what he was doing and I rolled with it. Yep, it was a bit of a sting! I made my appointment for the New Year and we will see how I am doing. In the meantime, hopefully, I'll be able to walk without so much pain for a little while!! read more

See all

I am going to try this again. 5 stars for doc. Hes great at his job. And a nice personality. Receptionist is very fearful of people with medical issues. I had recently been on IV for persistent infection and told her I needed to reschedule. I happen to mention IV antibiotics and the tone of her voice changed. I couldn't reschedule because she kept telling me there wasn't a appointment available on any day. So I gave up and went to a new doctor. read more

My family have been coming to this office for years, and Dr Darragh is fabulous, it's his office staff that have let him down. I've waited a long time to write this to see if they would make the attempt to rectify the situation. (Over a year in fact). We put a deposit down for my sons orthotics, even though our insurance pays 90%, we explained this at the visit, but they still insisted on taking $100. I have never received an insurance statement and have never got my refund which they promised once insurance paid their share, and our 10% was paid (I paid around $10 for my other son after insurance, the previous year). My husband called the office to find out why we hadn't been reimbursed, the lady acknowledged the mistake and said they hadn't billed our insurance, she said she'd make a call and call him back. That never happened. He called them again, she said the same thing, promised to call back, she never did. They've made no attempt to do anything and meanwhile my $100 they have kept. It's pretty disgraceful. I shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for something that is a covered service in my insurance plan, they have dropped the ball and have made no attempt to correct their mistake, it's very disappointing! read more

Dr. Darragh is a awesome Doctor and professional. I had something really wrong with my ankle and my primary did not do anything. Dr. Darragh sent me out for a MRI and that is where we found a fractured ankle. So Into a boot and 8 weeks later another MRI was done to see that the bone had not healed. He sent me on to a ankle specialist in orthopedics and surgery was needed. Well surgery done and I'm on the mend. I appreciate all that have helped me and Dr. Darragh's office handled all my needs with disability. I recommend to anyone dealing with feet problems go see him. He knows what he is doing. Very happy and it was a good experience!! GRATEFUL! read more

Dr. Darragh is very kind, understanding and knowledgeable. He takes the time to listen to your feet/foot issues and all of his staff are great!! I had to postpone getting my orthotics a few years ago and had paid half of them. Long story short, I changed insurance due to a different employer but now that I don't have Kaiser, I have gone back and extremely happy that he's still at the same location in Redondo Beach. I recommended him to my boyfriend and he came home with nothing but great compliments about Dr. Darragh!! I will be sure to recommend him to anyone who's looking for an amazing podiatrist!! read more
