Chaudhry Abid DPM

Doctor’s office completely crowded and booking an appointment any time soon is out of the question. Does not follow up over the phone for test results (MRI, X-​ray) or return phone calls. During visit doctor tried to hurry me out of the room because he had to «get all the other patients out of the way.» Did not listen to my symptoms or cause of my injury, just offered cortisone shots and wanted me to buy one of his «Post-​up» shoes. I came in with an X-​ray from another hospital and when I asked him to give it a look for a second opinion because I thought their diagnosis may have been incorrect, he said to me «So now you know better than a radiologist?» only to admit a week later over the phone (which I had to persistently call for) «I see what you were talking about…» after I referred to the section of my foot in the X-​ray that had been overlooked (5^th metatarsal). I just don’t understand, instead of hearing me out and trying to find the cause of my symptoms, he was more concerned with talking over me and attempting to give me an anti-​inflammatory, which I refused because it would only alleviate the symptoms and not take care of the cause of the irritation. It has been over a month since my visit with Dr. Chaudhry and my injury is still bothering me and he has yet to call me back following my MRI results which I had done over two weeks ago. I’m looking for another podiatrist now that I am off Medi-​CAL. One of the worst doctors I’ve ever had to deal with.

Excellent doctor. You’ll love him! He did my foot surgery extremely happy with results. If your looking for an excellent podiatrists no need to look further. Trust me because I’m extremely picky.

Dr Chaudhry performed foot surgery on me 3 years ago for a bone spur on the top of my foot. He is a very caring Dr, and extremely professional too. Gina in the office is also helpful and very sweet.
The wait time is usually very long every time I come, so bring a book.
Parking on the street can be tough at times.
I live in Lake Balboa, but wouldn’t go anywhere else because he is such a great Dr.

My feet were hurting and I needed to see a podiatrist fast. Although I was not able to meet with the doctor as soon as I hoped since they were booked with appointments. I was still able to meet with him a least a day before my half marathon run. I was able to buy a quick fix sole insert that helped ease my heel pain during the run. Even though the doctor and I both knew that cortisone would have been an option to consider. I’m still using the sole inserts and I have noticed an improvement with my heel pain. :) No cortisone shots just yet…
At first glance this place does not look all that great on the outside, but it’s actually not a bad place. The staff are really helpful and yes they all do speak English well. They are not ghetto. Big plus! :) The doctor is nice and informative.
If you are looking for a podiatrist I would recommend this place. Call ahead of time and make an appointment. The times I’ve been here they had a lot of people waiting.
