Morse K Upshaw, DPM

This is my 3^rd time seeing Dr. Upshaw for 3 separate issues and each visit has been worth it. My sister and husband have also been seen by Dr. Upshaw.
Dr. Upshaw has been practicing for many decades so he is very knowledgable, but what sets him apart is how well treats his patients.
He is caring, gentle, thorough, and does a great job at explaining your particular condition. He takes his time with each patient and doesn’t leave the room until he has answered all of your questions.
Another plus is he has 2 offices one in Alhambra and another in Pasadena. Each time we have been able to schedule an appointment fairly quickly which is great especially when you are in pain.
Our family highly recommends Dr. Upshaw!

This podiatrist always take his time with his patients but always sees me on time and thoroughly explains my issue… he also gives me advice on what I can do to help with the pain…

Dr upshaw took care of all my toe nail problems. He even reviewed my orthodics. His staff are friendly and professional. Got me in quicker when there was a cancelation. Wish there were more doctors offices like this.

Dr Upshaw is the best! I had bunion surgery on my right foot in November 2014 and my left foot just yesterday (Feb 27, 2015). Both big toe and tailors bunion on both feet. He is so knowledgeable and professional. Both surgeries went fantastic with no complications. My right foot is healing well and the scars are so minimal. I would recommend Dr Upshaw for any of your foot needs/​issues and specifically surgery. I wouldn’t trust that any doctor could do a better job than Dr Upshaw. He even checked in on me today (Saturday) to make sure I was feeling ok post surgery. I am resting and healing on my couch now. He even arranged a cold machine for my foot to be in ²⁴⁄₇ which keeps the swelling down and the pain to a tolerable level. Amazing doctor! His staff is incredible too! So friendly and they take care of everything from appointment reminders to paperwork.

Dr. Upshaw and staff are great. My arches had been killing me for weeks and I finally got around to getting them checked out. After Unilocaling local podiatrists dr. Upshaw wad the highest rated. After visiting him I can certainly see why. Very courteous personable and friendly. Not to mention knowledgeable. Got me suited up with some temporary splints that immediately made a huge difference in my day to day activities. Also explained my foot issues throughly and professionally. You can go wrong with the U.

Dr. Upshaw is a fabulous doctor who really knows his stuff! I’ve conme to him with various ailments over the years and he has handled every one with competence and alleviated my pain. He is extremely knowledgeable and i always leave his office better informed which is a plus. In addition, he’s a nice, personable man with a soft touch and always greets you with a warm smile. I give hm 5 stars!!!

Best foot doctor ever! I have been going to him for 8 years for my flat feet. He is really engaging, funny, caring and honest.

I’ve been trying to figure out whether my insoles would be covered by insurance and I got two answers multiple times (between the office and the insurance company).
«yes, it’s covered with NO deductible» and «you will have to pay a deductible»
There’s a big difference ($ 500), so I called the insurance company (again) and the dr.‘s office (again). The rep at the insurance company even admitted sometimes it’s hard to tell for certain cases, which I think caused the confusion.
My point for this update is that the girls at the office are so nice and patient. It’s hard to find dr.‘s offices with people like this. Big kudos for them!

Dr. Upshaw made a great impression from the very first, «hello»! Very personable, kind, funny and obviously very experienced and good at his job. Most of all, he is very caring. I came to the office based on a positive review here that mentioned that his office staff was as friendly and helpful as he is which is key for me and it was absolutely true. I had an appointment in two hours, free parking, very quick processing and was seen immediately. I was treated for a broken big toe, which many people will advise you to do nothing about, however, I am glad I went in because many people experience prolonged pain and sometimes further fracture by not treating it immediately. Dr. Upshaw found a small break in the bone, wrapped my foot in a «splint», advised me to wear a very sturdy shoe, and while at home, elevate and ice. I had been icing it incorrectly and was wearing a wobbly shoe, so all of this was important advice and will hopefully make healing relatively quick. I highly recommend this doctor.

Even before setting foot in Dr. Upshaw’s office, he made a very positive impression on me!
Our friend injured her ankle while visiting from out of state, and was having a hard time finding a doctor to treat her for a good price (no insurance), and in a timely manner.
After searching for quite awhile, she came across Dr. Upshaw’s name on this site. ‘Though it was getting a bit late, she decided to try and call his office. Much to her surprise, he answered the phone! He listened to her issues, and offered her some advice. He also set her up with an appointment the next morning, and was willing to work with her, despite being uninsured.
I had the pleasure of meeting him, while going with her to her appointment at his Pasadena office. What a lovely personality he has! He knew that she was a bit nervous, and did what he could to set her at ease. He was also very knowledgeable, and helped her in just a few visits. I personally, want to thank him for his kind treatment of me, even though I was just accompanying my friend!
One example of his great kindness, that really meant a lot to me: On Valentine’s day, before leaving, he gave her a rose :)
He also has a pleasant staff!
I very highly recommend him!
