Dr. Jen Strauser is amazing not only because she knows her stuff, but also because she goes above…read moreand beyond to help you. She is both highly knowledgable and kind. After doing a hip hop dance class (on concrete with LOTS of jumping in crappy shoes with no arch support), I came to her on crutches with severe foot pain, which she diagnosed as plantar fasciitis. She wrapped my foot to provide support and pain relief...not just once, multiple times. She even came in on a friday to re-wrap it so that I was not in pain over the weekend. She recommended some great arch supports for me and I have not had that extreme of pain since. Dr. Jen rocks! So glad I found her! :)

Initially I went in to Dr Strauser because I didn't know what was going on with a toe nail but knew…read moreit wasn't good. She took some samples, tested the bejeezus out of it but we couldn't figure it out. She had me try an at home treatment and after 6 months I decided to go back in since the home treatment didn't help. The next step (which was a big one for me) was removing the nail. Well, she did a damn fine job. I felt nothing and the toe nail healed up perfectly. Fast forward a year and it feels like an ingrown is happening. I head back in, she takes a look, agrees, and I walk out 15 min later with a small bandage over the toe. Three weeks later and it's totally healed. No more pain, looks fantastic. Dr Strauser has been so helpful and super responsive. She hands out a number to call / text if anything goes wrong after a procedure and has a great sense of humor to boot.

We showed up for the appointment and a bitchy bleach-blonde woman said, "You DON'T have an appointment today. We DON'T have a doctor here today." She didn't ask my name or check or say, "Sorry, seems to be some mistake" or offer to help in any way. Back home, I called and said that my appointment schedule in my computer confirmed that I had an appointment and she said, "You actually have an appointment in ALAMEDA today." She said I called the Alameda number. I called a 510-area number. No one said the office was the Alameda one or that the podiatrists had an Alameda office. I cancelled for us both and, without saying goodbye, she hung up on me. All of you who live in Berkeley know it would, on a weekday, be sometimes up to an hour drive to Alameda and an hour back. No one in their right mind would drive there willingly. There ARE other podiatrists. As others have complained, the office staff at this office are unfriendly, unhelpful and make appointments here not worth the aggravation. A little, even a little, politeness would have gone a long way.

Cheers and all the best! P.S. this medical office has a coat drive. Available for drop off until the new year 2025 I was told. I've been looking all over for one and I can't wait to share the warmth! Come on by and deliver your coats! Happy holidays!

Update as of September 17, 2025…read more I already shared my first review on Google, but since they only allow one per account, I didn't want to delete it just to post again. So I'm sharing this update here on Yelp instead. I will only use my first name and it's Sonja. I've been seeing Dr. Reed Coast for several months now for my foot injury, and what really stands out about him is how warm, gentle, and kind he is. The way he communicates with you as a patient, the way he evaluates you, and the way he explains things so clearly, it all helps you feel confident about making the best decision for your care. He's very personable, and that makes a huge difference when you're in constant pain and dealing with different doctors. In the past, I've seen other providers for the same injury, and I just didn't feel like I got the same level of care. But with Dr. Coast, I actually look forward to my visits because I know he's going to be hands-on and really present. I appreciate that so much. When he walks into the room, you never feel rushed. He doesn't make you feel like he's just trying to get through your appointment and move on to the next person. He sits with you, listens with intention, and takes the time to explain your treatment plan in a way that makes sense. He lays out your options and helps you understand what's going on with your injury. Every time I leave his office, I feel grateful that he's my doctor. Dr. Coast's staff is truly a reflection of the care he provides. From the moment you check in to the time you're brought into the room, every one of those ladies is kind, professional, and welcoming. They always greet you with a smile, and that makes all the difference. It sets the tone for the visit and helps you feel at ease, even when you're dealing with pain or just not feeling your best. I always enjoy chatting with them during my appointments. They're easy to talk to, genuinely sweet, and their positive energy makes the whole experience better. It's rare to find a team that's both efficient and caring, and I really appreciate that.

While sitting in an exam…read moreroom waiting for my doctor to enter an unknown individual (who I later indentified as Dr. Mihok) entered the exam room without introducing himself to me and began rummaging through the drawers. When I said "hello" he started trying to make small talk still without introducing himself or telling me who he was or what he was doing in my medical exam room. At this point I felt extremely uncomfortable and asked him if he was my DR.'s assistant? He said "no" and made a joke and then told me to put my feet up on the table. I said "no" at which point he said aggressively "just put your feet on the table!" and reached down and touched my leg to physically move it! I told him don't touch me! And I almost kicked him in his hand but he got the idea and immediately left the room. After the fact I was able to identify the individual as Dr. Mihok. What a creep! Definitely look somewhere else for treatment!

I had tried online mobility programs, but I needed personalized guidance to make real progress. I was matched with Roland Jenkins in 2024 and have been seeing and feeling progress ever since (hello criss-cross applesauce sits!). He helped me improve my mobility, build confidence in the gym, and taught me how to modify exercises for my body (especially as someone who is only 5 feet tall). I've also worked with Lo (Lorraine), who has been equally knowledgeable and supportive. Thanks to Pro+Kinetix, I'm now lifting weights confidently, running again, and moving without the limitations I had only a few years ago. They didn't just help me recover but they taught me how to move better for life. If you're considering physical therapy, don't wait. The team at Pro+Kinetix genuinely cares about helping you reach your goals, whatever they may be, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything they've done for me.

Now that I am back on the basketball court and have regained confidence in my shoulder, I am very happy I came to Pro Kinetix and have renewed optimism for my athletic performance moving forward!

She also treated my bruised toenails to relieve the pain. She gave me some helpful tips and a toe sleeve to prevent sports injuries in the future. In addition to these injuries and ailments, Dr. Pursnani recommended calf and heel cord stretches when I was dealing with heel pain after working out. I had been stretching post workout and she recommended pre-workout routine after a short warm up. I enjoy an active lifestyle. In the past these foot ailments have been roadblocks. Dr. Pursnani treated my problems in such a way they were not only healed but put me on a path not to experience them anymore. Finally, Dr. Pursnani is very easy to talk to.

I regard Dr Hilger as a competent and caring dermatologist. I provide this review as a…read morenonjudgmental commentary on other Yelp reviews of Dr Hilger - offered by unhappy patients. Patients who are unhappy with a doctor's care have a responsibility to post thoughtful reviews - to guide decision-making by prospective patients. In this case, if a doctor has a patient base of hundreds of patients, the issue is what is the actual percentage of unhappy patients? (We just do not know.) It is also likely that aggregate review sites may be biased toward negative reviews, i.e., a dissatisfied customer is more likely to post than a satisfied client. And doctors do make mistakes, it is inevitable. The issue is more the frequency of errors and the consequences. Finally, the reviews themselves reflect the opinions of the patients - not necessarily the same as an independent review of an incident. Be guided accordingly.
