Saw Dr. Steinberg for foot pain and he was tops. He assessed the situation in a method that included, but did not singularly focus on my excessive weight (I'm fat, but more than just my weight). His treatment was reasonable, cost effective, and yielded immediate results of comfort, reduction and loss of pain, and no excessive strain on my wallet or time. Maybe I was fortunate and the stars aligned for this outcome, but I think his focus is on results and healing, not building an addition to his home. I highly recommend giving this practice your time. read more

Experience never gets old! I have gone to Jonathan Steinberg for 20 years he has helped with numerous sports injuries and maladies. I highly recommend him! read more

I've got a little extra pep in my step today! I just left Dr. Steinberg's office where I picked up my new custom orthotics. I had a pair for years but my car was stolen 2 summers ago and my shoes with orthotics were inside. I work in a restaurant so I've basically been in pain ever since. I was running 3x a week anyway and a few months ago, I rolled my ankle. Then I rolled it again...and again and again. Time to do something! I saw Dr. Steinberg, his office manager Sharon got me in within hours! Got the X-rays and an examination and there was no *major* damage, but my feet need to be stabilized! My orthotics came in less than a week and I'm ALREADY feeling better! I'll give myself this week to get used to them and I'll start my running program next week. Half marathon, here I come! Extra star for the cool office dogs! I'm a cash-paying patient and this office is one that will work with you. Thank you so much Sharon, Dr. Steinberg and staff!!! I treated myself to some new shoes to go with the new orthotics...and had to bling them out! read more

Steinberg Jonathan ,DPM - Treated myself to some new shoes to go with my orthotics...and had to bling them out, of course. - Podiatrists Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I've had in ingrown toenail that I was stubborn about for about six plus months. I was really nervous because I've never been to a podiatrist before and get kind of nervous around the whole hospital/doctor deal. Doctor Steinberg was awesome. He's down to earth, based upon how the appointment went he clearly has loads of experience. Really appreciate it doc!! Thanks for your help!! read more

I have never had any problems with my feet before but a few months ago I developed a sharp pain in my left foot ball area. I tried all sorts of store bought insoles to no avail and finally spun the Doctor Lottery Wheel and landed at Dr. Steinberg's office. The Dr. Steinberg has a very nice, well lit, corner office, tastefully decorated and well staffed. I waited less than 10 min to see the Dr. He has a foot X-ray machine on site so no separate appointments for for that. The X-ray showed no physical damage to my foot and the Dr. explained how my flat (ish) feet could be causing the problem. He recommended a cortisone shot, some anti inflammatories and some follow up therapy to see if that would stop the pain. I followed his advice to the letter and I am pain free and all of my follow up appoints took less than 1/2 hr each (no waiting). I have had some very mixed results with the Doctor Lottery Wheel in the past. This time it feels like I won. Thank you Dr. Steinberg and staff! read more

I have seen Dr. Steinberg off and on for various foot issues for the past 8+ years - including an outpatient surgical procedure. I recommend him and his staff without hesitation. He and his staff are *real* people that show kindness, compassion and a great sense of humor. I have never felt oversold or pushed into any type of treatment that could introduce unnecessary cost. They do not talk down to you, or make you feel ignorant. Dr. Steinberg takes the extra effort to educate me so that I understand the cause of the condition and my treatment options. We then discuss those options and work together in partnership on my treatment. When I go to visit Dr. Steinberg, I feel the money I spend is going toward a great group of individuals working to support their households -- and that feels good. I cannot recommend Dr. Steinberg and his caring staff highly enough. read more

Great doctor. I have seen Dr Steinberg for a neuroma in my right foot and then later one in my left foot. I ended up having a cortisone shot in each foot. I had the shot in my right foot about 4 years ago and have had no more issues. Had the shot in my left foot a year ago. Unfortunately the pain in my left foot has come back after a year, so will be getting another cortisone shot. He has never tried to push any products and have never had any issues related to billing. I highly recommend this doctor. He and his staff are very friendly. read more

Simply the best podiatrist you will every find. Dr. Steinberg and his staff are the most caring and attentive providers of foot and ankle care. I had two issues, chronic Plantar Fasciitis as well as a partially torn Achilles tendon. I was in agony, for months. Finally my wife said she had heard enough and insisted I go find out what could be done. After about six months of therapy and injections (yep, they hurt but I will take that pain any day over chronic foot and ankle pain) I was completely healed. Like new. I can run, jump climb mountains, fish in slippery streams and rivers and do all the things I love and was unable to do before seeing Dr. Steinberg. Man up...take that chronic foot and ankle pain over to these guys, they will make it all better! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Steinberg! I don't understand the negative reviews because he was straight forward with me and explained what he saw/thought. I had a weird unknown growth high up between 2 of my toes and thought it might be a neuroma or a cyst but showed signs of being something more serious. I was very nervous about having surgery and Dr. Steinberg told my husband and I "If you were my wife, I'd get this thing out and send it to the lab." And he was right, the thing grew quickly and he got it out before it caused any real problems. He was my second opinion, and it was such a relief to have him speak openly to me, opposed to the first Dr. I saw who informed me I needed an MRI, and blood tests. Dr. S said an MRI would just give a color version of the xray they already took and cost a lot more! He listened to my concerns, and my worry about surgery. He also had his office fax me a breakdown of the surgery, with all the medical codes, so I could call my insurance and figure out exactly what it would cost out of pocket! The surgery went perfectly and Dr. S called a couple of times over the next few days to check on me. After I had healed, we discussed the scar tissue and Dr. Patel said they could send me to PT, or show me the exercises, I could try doing them myself instead. All in all, Dr. Steinberg and his office staff were thoughtful, helpful and great to deal with. read more

Look nobody likes going to the doctors but with that being said Dr Steinberg has been awesome, and has helped me out with short notice when I've been in really bad pain. His office has an convenient location next to heather farms and close to John Muir Hospital. Thanks Doc ! read more

First time with Dr. Steinberg and had a great experience. The staff was very helpful and the Dr is super down to earth, great communication and obviously knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr. Steinberg to my friends and family as well. read more

Dr. Steinberg is a competent doctor who does a good job. Why the 2 stars? Because I felt that he was trying to sell me various expensive treatments and products throughout the visit and was annoyed when I chose not to buy them. I understand that everyone wants to be a millionaire (me too!), but a professional should be just that, professional. read more

I had two laser treatments for toenail fungus and it was a complete failure. It cost $800 and was a total rip off. Do not waste your money!

Recently went to Dr Steinberg for an ingrown toe nail that was affecting my ability to walk and bothering me at work. I was pleased with my experience, the staff was friendly, I was seen as soon as my paperwork was done and the doctor was gentle and professional. It turns out that I know have another problem with my foot , and I'm secure in the knowledge that I have a good podiatrist who will help alleviate my pain. It should be noted that it is a dog friendly office so if you don't like dogs, (I do!) then don't pet Angel when she comes to great you and she'll go back to her office duties. I would recommend Dr Steinberg to anyone! read more

A wonderful neighbor recommended Dr Steinberg to me last year she had had major foot pain and said he was the best. My foot pain started in 2009 and ruined my favorite past time running marathons. I did the usual I rested it. I got fat and the pain got worse. So I gave up and went to see Dr Steinberg. He was great very kind and understanding. He listened well and started me off with inserts. They cured the planter problem in the left foot but the right foot became worse. Dr Steinberg never gave up on me. He never said there is nothing more to do get over it like so many Dr's before. He kept on. In the end I had surgery. He warned me it might not work but at that point I didn't care I had to do something and he supported me. The man did a amazing job. Today a year later I am back at my normal weight I can run without pain. My first marathon after the surgery is in two months. I have have my life back without pain. I can't thank him enough he is a great surgeon and a amazing Dr. I would recommend him to anyone who can't seem to get rid of the pain in there feet. read more

Dr. Steinberg is really a great podiatrist. He is a good listener and educator which is likely because he is very intelligent and loves his job. I don't know why anyone would want to go into feet, but I am sure glad he did. I was very impressed. read more

We have used dr. Steinberg twice in the last few years when we have had some issues with our children's feet. He is a very professional, peacful dr. He knows how to calm children down, and does very good work. He reminds me of an old time community dr. with all the modern day equipment. His office is clean, and staff is friendly. No snobby staff here, just nice family people. Dr. Steinberg is our go to Dr. for any podiatry issues. read more

I visited Dr Steinberg for plantar facitiis. I was initially pleased with my visits there and the orthotic he provided me. My issue is not with the doctor or the services he provided, but with his staff and their unethical billing practices. My first warning to anyone thinking of visiting this doctor is DO NOT give them any money. You will not be reimbursed. They asked me to write a check for orthotics and explained that they would reimburse me 100% once my insurance reimbursed them. However, when insurance did reimburse them 100% I still did not get my money back. The doctor "forgot" to mention that I would have to pay the difference between the negotiated rate for the insurance company and their inflated rate ($220). After many months of dealing with them and only after I threatened to take them to small claims court did they finally let me return the orthotics for a refund. My insurance carrier (Blue Cross Blue Shield) called me recently to get some more information on my claim because they are having other complaints regarding this doctor's billing. I found the staff rude and dishonest. They lied to me several times saying things like "I mailed you a check last Friday" and that I signed a contract that turns out never existed. I would advise you use caution when using this doctor, especially in dealing with his staff. read more

I am a bit surprised about some positive reviews here. I wish I had read the previous review before I went to this doctor. I was not informed well with his plan for treatment. He diagnosed neuroma in my foot and suggested x-ray to start with which I refused. I later learned that neuroma cannot be diagnosed with x-rays. He suggested a cortisone shot and physical therapy(PT). When I was questioning the need for PT because of its high cost, he told me that it is needed for the treatment. I had the cortisone shot and went to 3 PT sessions as he suggested. In the end, my foot was worse than before I went to see the doctor. Previously before seeing the doctor, I was experiencing pain in my foot while running only. After so called 'the treatment', I have that pain in my foot all the time. Running? Forget it, I can't do that anymore. I cannot even have a nice walk in the outside. I later went to see him again to tell that it got worse, he told me that there is no treatment for neuroma, he said -by looking down on me- we can only lessen the symptoms. Oh really, why did you not tell me before I spend money on expensive PT sessions? He blamed me by misunderstanding what he said. He said that if this did not work, only other option is operation. I just learned that this operations are really risky. Out of desperation, I wanted to give a try to acupuncture. I went to 2 sessions and my foot got totally recovered after. I wasted time and money (I have insurance but I pay coinsurance) on his office, and I just wish good luck to all patients who see him. read more

Wow. Surprised to hear nice things about this office because my experience was not good; Staff professionalism and chairside manner really need work. While my daughter & I were in the reception area, the doctor and the front office lady bickered for several minutes while totally ignoring us. After my teen daughter was examined, the doctor did not explain anything to us, just announced that she needed 3 sessions of some expensive ultrasound treatment to to lessen the symptoms. I asked him why she was having the ankle problem. He looked at me blankly and said, "She's jumping too much." I subsequently took her to see an athletic trainer who, in one short session was able to trace the problem to the source: a specifc tight muscle. The trainer spent a lot of time educating us. With simple stretching excercises, she has stayed out of trouble through 2 years of high school varsity volleyball and track. read more

After my insurance directed me to this office the office manager claimed they would not accept the insurance. Her manner was very unprofessional and quite confrontational. Never got to see the doctor but unless you have a mainline insurance, good to avoid this office. read more

I took my daughter in because she had been having severe pain on the top of her foot, she was x-rayed and put in a boot, came back in 2 weeks, still in pain, x-rayed again and then went for an MRI. Written report showed what I'll call a pre-stress fracture, Dr. Steinberg said stay in the boot, keep taking the Aleve, here are some orthotics, get some supportive shoes to wear, and come back in 2 weeks. He expected she'd be good to go for her 8th grade trip to D.C/N.Y. And she was! Took the orthotics just in case, but after walking 45 miles on the trip, she came home with no pain! Highly recommend Dr. Steinberg, his chairside manner was great with my 13 year old! read more

The staff is very unprofessional and rude. Especially Sharon, she is impatient and very aggressive when dealing with people. Needs to work on her professionalism and people skills. Does not seem to care about her job or the general view of Dr. Steinberg's practice. read more

I received laser treatment for toenail fungus from Jonathan Steinberg and I was completely dissatisfied with the treatment. I would not advise anyone to waste their time and money because I do not think that he has the expertise to treat the condition. I trusted him to do what he said he could do and he really did not even make a hint of a difference and wanted more money to try again. I would not recommend him to anyone. read more

I have seen Dr. Steinberg for a number of issues and both he and his staff are amazing! I highly recommend him!

Dr. Steinberg and staff are incredible. Friendly and fun, and able to remove even the most stubborn ingrown toenails!

Dr. Steinberg changed my life! Before visiting his office. I lived with constant shin splints, planter fascitis, and overall achy feet. Especially after running and snow skiing. He made me custom orthotics and I feel nothing but comfort! It's truly AMAZING! My husband feels the same about his orthotics. I just recommended him to my 17 year old daughter, who is a runner. It's truly life changing for an athlete or any one who likes being active. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Steinberg for several years now. I wouldn't go to anyone else. He listens; he explains; he is kind and humorous. I would recommend him to anyone. He is the best! The staff is friendly and it is a very comfortable setting. read more

Dr steinberg was recommended to me by a friend and he's been wonderful. I highly recommend his practice and his staff is so helpful

The reviews seem to be either one star or 5.. You can add me to the 5 star people. Maybe that's because I'm a Kaiser patient, but for the past 15 years, when I REALLY need help with a foot problem, I pay out of pocket to see Dr. Steinberg. He's very sympathetic with Kaiser patients and charges reasonable rates. Unlike Kaiser, I can usually get an appointment with Dr. Steinberg in a day or two (as opposed to weeks), and he's helped me out on every occasion. I first saw him when I had a shin problem and got custom orthotics from him. Later he treated a plantar fibroma, diagnosed bone spurs, and now he's helping me recover from the bone spur surgery done by my Kaiser podiatrist, whose post-op treatment was very unsatisfactory. The difference is that Dr. Steinberg doesn't beat around the bush and gives realistic prognoses. He's never pressured me into aggressive treatments and chooses to try a conservative approach first. He's available for questions, caring, encouraging and has a good sense of humor. Sharon, his office manager, not only runs everything well, but actually makes it fun to come in for an appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Steinberg's practice. . . read more
