There is an old saying " That if your feet hurt you hurt all over" that is so true. I had a waddling walk that made my back and hips sore.That was before I first went to see Dr, John. He said I had a callous the size of a quarter and thick on my left foot that I was unconsciously compensating for by walking in a waddling fashion. Plus I had a nail that was so curved inward that it exacerbated the "waddle"and foot pain. After treatment I am pain free in that left foot however, I still waddle a little after all I am 75. Its just a middle age waddle. Did I mention that he was very gentle in his treatment,explained everything he did and why. Offered advice on shoe types to prevent further problems and how to care for my feet at home.He is caring and sincere. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. That was then, this is now almost 5 months later. Im still pain free have smooth pretty feet because I now see Dr. on a regular basis.Yes I still waddle slightly. His receptionist Deb is so very patient and accommodating with my appointment time to fit my busy social schedule. I also appreciate the day before reminders. I can't say enough about Dr. and his staff if I could I'd give him 10 stars. read more

Dr. Sangueza is great but staff never answers the phone, takes forever to respond to voicemail. I have been double-billed and sent in the information repeatedly to get a refund without any movement or success. It's really challenging to book an appointment or change an appointment due to front desk staff. I wish he would get better support staff or manage them better. They are nice, but it's challenging and never improves and I have decided to look for a new doctor as a result. I used the clinic for a few years but am tired of chasing. read more

I moved out of town and had complications with my foot and requested my medical records. Well good luck to me it's been 4 months and still nothing. Of course they don't answer the phone. All I needed was what he performed on my foot. So sadly disgusted he or his staff wouldn't respond or simply send MY records read more

My dad comes here for his appointments and last time I accompanied him there. Dr. Sangueza is patient, caring, and very thorough and knowledgable. He is also quick and to the point and explains what he's doing and why he's doing so. We made small talk and I can tell he is very hardworking and dedicates a lot to his office and his patients. I highly suggest going to him! read more

I went to see John Sangueza initially to see if i could get rid of painful corns and ingrown toenails, He was so good that --no, I did not walk on water - but walked without pain. The corn were gone and so were my toe nails growing in. He puts patients above him.... Not because he is on a lower level -on the floor -but he really does. Since I have seen him , i have not been troubled by what brought me to him. You see , he does perform miracles- not the stuff of water to wine, but you will be walking with a spring in your feet, barely touching the ground. And that is all the miracle i need. Call him and see if he can take you on.- he is up well before dawn more like 4:30 before the rooster crows. He might even tell you if he can make your insurance work for you . Then you can dance all night , But check him out, and see if he works for you as much as you for him. You never know , This may be a pivoting point. Let you feet do the walking read more

I was a patient for maybe 3-4 years ago. The ball of my right foot hurts so bad. He treated me well , which up until now it did not hurt even after dancing and doing body contour exercise that involved weight lifting. I would recommend him. read more

Great podiatrist! He's a lovely person and really listens. Has helped me with a number of issues and cares about his patients.

A CUT ABOVE Hi All, I'm writing this review after a 10 year relationship with Dr. Sangueza. It started many, many years ago when my wife had a foot issue. He fixed it without any issue. Now my almost adult daughter is having trouble with her ankles. She doesn't have the stability that she needs. Who do we go to. Why of course Dr. Sangueza. Ok, great, so what, why do you care? My daughter was starting to feel unstable and have some minor pain in her ankles. We called on monday and he was able to see us on wed. We needed to have orthodics made. Did we wait a month, or weeks for this appointment. NO. He made room for us on friday of the same week. Next, we got to the appt early. Did we have to wait the 30 minutes to see the doctor? No again. He got us in early and we were out before our scheduled appointment even occurred. Now this is all great, but how is the actual doctor. He's warm, caring, thorough, and a perfect office demeanor. He's an expert. He is confident and amazing. If you have any problems below the knee, THIS is YOUR Doctor. Yes, you can thank me later. He's really that good.... read more

Difficult to get a hold of the office but once i did she had no clue about insurance. Had to contact my ppo insurance to double check for her. After all that trouble she told me next appointment is in a month. With a possible fractured foot I couldnt wait so scheduled with another dr in the same office who had sooner appointment and knew about the insurance i had. Unfortunate because this dr was recommended to me by my grandma for my other foot issue and she would see this dr regularly until she passed. read more

I don't recommend anyone this place. If you can go somewhere else please do so. The doctor was informative, but waited too long from appointment time. More than once I've encountered rudeness from the staff. That's really unprofessional, I'm here to get help not to add more stress to my life. The staff also needs to work on reaching back out when a voicemail is left. I don't understand why i have to struggle on getting ahold of someone just to schedule an appointment. read more

I saw Dr. Sangueza for some pain in my foot last week. I wish all offices were this professional. The woman who runs the appointment desk was efficient yet thorough. She was very pleasant yet straight to the point with paperwork and copying of my insurance card. I was early but they took me back to the office straight away. The doctor and his assistant were both very kind and answered all of my questions. There was no crazy insurance drama and I even got a copy of my office visit record emailed to me on the same day! Its the first place I have seen do that. I am so impressed. read more

I was impressed with the whole process when Dr. Sangueza did the ingrown toenail procedure for my 81 year old mom. He was very professional, caring, confident, knowledgeable and thorough. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends. read more

Let me start with the good: Knowledgeable podiatrist who helped me solve my ankle problems. Bad: They tell patients that they take Aetna insurance. But, they don't tell patients they are out of network with Aetna. So, a visit that should have been $10 ended up costing $150. Summary: Good doctor, just make sure your insurance is in network if you plan to use this doctors services. read more

My wife and I have been having real bad heel pain, we were able to get an appointment within 24 hours, Dr Sangueza is very knowledgeable and friendly also very professional! He explained the reason for our symptoms and gave us good information for immediate relief! Currently walking on cloud 9! Thank You Dr Sangueza! read more

Dr. Sangueza was highly recommended by a FEW of my colleagues. Unfortunately, i did not have a great experience that i thought i was going to have after multiple attempts of trying to make a first appointment and noone answering or reaching back. My colleagues did mention that the staffing recently changed. Had to go to a different doctor.. read more

Amazing doctor. Explained everything with very gentle voice. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Once, twice, three times a winner . That describes my three visits with John. He did not wash my feet or baptize me , but came close . So close that he took my nails right down to the very end . Now that is a Art . It is something that I greatly desire because especially after a knee replacement It is hard to bend my knees fully to do a good job of keeping my nails well clipped. It is great now wearing shoes with no snagging on to nails and keeping them clean and maintained. He worked assiduously in getting rid of the corns that develop ( that have a higher propensity to develop with age). That is a Surgeons cut . Just as with cutting nails to the degree he dose, as incising those painful corn is a 'Cut above the rest" of podiatry practice perfected. John Sangueza is a very mindful person and as self effacing as he is top notch. This good Doctor is up I believe at 4:30 am or earlier every morning to start his preparation for his practice: If that is not discipline then he is replacing the barnyard rooster and I would gladly do the crowing for him . See if you can reach out to see if he has openings in his busy practice, to get your tired foot in the door - I believe a card I have says he has two offices : one at 14981 N3ational Ave, Ste. 2, Los Gatos, Ca 95032 BY Good Samaritan hospital Off Los Gatos Ave -Bascom renamed in that part , a Block from the Hospital or another at 2365 Quimby Rd , Ste 260, San Jose 95122 ; Both list the same phone number 408 371 -2451 or fax at 408 333-9601 . Hit him up to see if he is as good as I say he is : You might even walk on water. I know he takes Santa Clara Family Health Plan that Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (at 733 S Bascom ) offers , He may take other plans too. Check it out for yourself and walk well. On my last visit , the moment he was done, I walked painlessly - well, very well. Hope you do to. Thank you Dr. Sangueza. read more

My daughter twisted her ankle while playing volleyball, and she also has an older injury that flares up. The front desk is super nice and squeezed us in the next day, did X ray and got a boot so no need for clutches. Doctor also called insurance company to get MRI approved. My daughter said she asked Dr. John tons of questions and was happy that he patiently answered them all. read more

I had a last minute urgent need to see a Podiatrist, and because I happened to be out of my insurance covered region, I was having a hard time finding a doctor that would see me for a reasonable out of pocket price. Not only did Dr. Sangueza ask me to come in right away (literally 15 min after I called) but he was so understanding about my insurance situation and gave me a very reasonable discount on my first visit. He quickly and thoroughly examined my foot, which I had injured while traveling, and I was on my way to recovery as soon as I left his office! He is extremely polite, humble and genuinely caring, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a podiatrist in the south bay! read more

Dr. S goes above and beyond any other Dr. I have ever known, from surgery to general office visits. He has seen my mother through severe diabetic ulcers, and has saved her feet...literally. His bedside manner is one all doctors to aspire to. He is extremely knowledgable and never gives up, he is always trying new techniques and products to help his patients. He has a great sense of humor and always has a smile on his face when he walks through the door. He has made a very difficult situation tolerable. My mom is not the best patient, but follows his instructions because she doesn't want to disappoint him at her next visit. I highly recommend him to all ages of patients. There has not yet been a situation (and there have been major issues) that he has not been able to make better for her feet. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Sangueza for any and all of your foot needs. He is the best but is very humble, friendly, and caring about his patients. He is extremely knowledgeable and has never rushed me. He did a bunionectomy on my left foot back in July 2015. I was worried my whole life about the surgery and he made it easy. He just did a bunionectomy on my right foot 12 days ago and it was just as easy. The main difference was that I knew what to expect and didn't have any fear knowing Dr. Sangueza was my surgeon again. He has such a good bedside manner. When my hubby came with me to my appt. he did the X-rays earlier than he had planned so he could explain them to him as well. He also mentioned to us about Orthaheel which are good shoes for your feet. His staff is also very friendly and they always call to remind me about my appointments. read more

Ive been to Dr. Sangueza's office several times now due to an injury causing an ingrown toenail. Sangueza is one of the best doctors I have visited, he is as compassionate as he is wise, and a master in his field. read more

Dr Sangueza is a very caring doctor. I have diabetic neuropathy and had wounds on my foot. He made time for me and even with emergencies he squeezed me in. He listens and works hard to fix the issue. Highly recommend him. You'll be happy you did!! read more

I took my 82 year old spouse to see Dr Sangueza for a general foot check up since he is Diabetic #2 and i learned that anyone with diabetes, even if its under control, should see a Podiatrist at least once per year. In addition to the general check up i wanted DR S to give me his feedback on these little redness areas on his toe knuckles and to see if we could do anything for his toenail fungess. One part of this story is that my 82 year old spouse is in the later stages of Alzheimer's. Moving on! From the moment Dr Sangueza came into the room i was 100% sure i had brought my spous3 to the right place. Dr S was extremely personable, he told me right away that P (my spouse) has hammer toes and then told me about our option in dealing withbthe fungus. Finally, he went right to work on P's tonails and when Dr S was done, and im not exaggerating, P's toenails actually looked like normal toenails. The Dr said that i could bring P in every 4-6 weeks so he could do the medical pedicure on P and other than that he told me what type of shoes would be best taking into consideration the hammer toes; basically shoes that have a large enough toe box for his feet to move around comfortably. Dr S never tried to oversell me on products or services and he was extremely excited about his job. He definitely wasnt trying to push us out to remain on some quota. I have some issues with my feet from many fears of running marathons and long distance runs in general. Ive been to so many podiatrist i just gave up. My experiences with every podiatrist I ever saw during my running years was quick to get the visit over with, quick to say my problem was that i needed to purchase orthotics from his office. But never, after several visits with various podiatrist, was my foot issues resolved. I will definitely be using Dr Sangueza myself and I will recommend him tofriends and family; and im here on this forum because i know how hard it is to find a good/great doctor. This is a great Podiatrist...take my advise; you will be disappointed. read more

Dr Sangueza has helped me with many issues with my feet over the last few years from plantar warts to recovery from a crushed foot from an accident. He is very knowledgeable and pays attention to details. The front office is great as well! I strongly recommend Dr S! read more

I went to Dr. Sangueza after seeing several other podiatrists for my Plantar Fasciitis, as well as chronic shin splints and an ingrown toenail. The office staff was very pleasant and I was able to get in right away. Dr. Sangueza took the necessary time to let me discuss all my problems without rushing me ever! This is unheard of in this industry!!! He gave me a variety of treatments including injections for plantar fasciitis, walking boot splint, another kind of splints, orthotics, PT and pain cream he created just for me. He also got rid of my ingrown toenail in my big toe. I had had that done previously by another foot doctor who had butchered my big toenail in the process, and the nail still came back ingrown. The previous doctor made me soak by big toe 3 x a week for 3 months as it was always in pain if it wasn't in water. This time, I was back in my closed toe shoes the next day. Washed the toe, twice a day and dapped on some ointment Dr. Sangueza provided and healed completely in three weeks. No pain and no soaking! I am giving him 5 stars as he worked so hard in trying to get me back to normal. I can now wear my orthotics full-time. My toe no longer hurts. My plantar fasciitis is 80% better and my shin splints feel better because of the pain cream he ordered for me. Highly recommend him and I am extremely hard to please!!! Deena read more

I was referred to Dr. Sangueza, by my orthopedic doctor. And everything that I heard was true. He has fantastic bedside manner, and nipped the problem right in the butt! Turned out I had a couple of Plantar fibromas (painful). He treated them and gave me advice for some home care as well, and I no longer have the pain I had in my Right foot. He's very honest, and very really knows his stuff. I would defiantly recommend to anyone looking for a stellar podiatrist. Thank you Dr. Sangueza. read more

Came in with a bad ingrown nail, came out pain free. Dr. Sangueza is fast and friendly. One week later and I'm completely healed!

Dr. Sangueza is GREAT!!!! I tried him based on reviews and he certainly lived up to these wonderful reviews! I had recurring problems with ingrown toenails. I shared my anxiety about it with him because I had a bad experience with another podiatrist about 10 months ago (sort of pushed a more invasive procedure and actually didn't do it right, so problem flared up 6 months later and I had put off seeking a podiatrist's help as I lived with the discomfort for the last 4 months) and really want someone who is willing to try the least invasive procedures first. Dr. Sangueza did explain to me a slightly more involved procedure that would take care of the problem permanently. I wasn't ready for that that day and opted for a simpler procedure, which he did extremely skillfully--got me instantly pain-free! If/When I am ready for the other procedure, I will definitely go back to Dr. Sangueza. His office staff was excellent as well. They had a tough morning when I showed up, having some new patients and emergency appointments and the doctor was behind schedule. Dr. Sangueza was quite apologetic when he walked into the exam room, though really only about 30 minutes after my appointment time. I've had much longer wait at other doctors' offices. I cannot recommend him highly enough! read more
