Robert Joseph, DPM

Amazing doctor who explains EVERYTHING to you. My boyfriend went to see him for a serious infected toenail-​turns out he needed to remove the nail immediately and have surgery the next day. Dr. Joseph was extremely informative with the procedure and performed a successful surgery with flying colors on his birthday! He even gave me a piece of cake: P
The dr. And his team work very well together and aren’t afraid to have fun while doing their amazing jobs. The desk and nursing staff made sure to figure out all my boyfriends medical insurance issues-​which took a lot of time of the phone and Doctor was communicating with them as well to get approval for the surgery right away. It was a great environment always with surgery day and check-​ups after. We got lucky with finding Dr. Joseph on Zoc Doc

I had an ingrown toenail that I had ignored for too long and was having spillover effects and making me cringe with each step. I was referred to Dr. Joseph by my primary care physician.
Dr. Joseph and his assistant Johnica were simply perfect along every dimension I can think of: painless, effective, efficient, informative, caring, great follow-​up. I can’t compliment Dr. Joseph and his staff enough. It’s wonderful to get this kind of care.

As a yoga teacher and avid runner, I rely on the optimal functioning of my body. I went to see Dr. Joseph last year after rolling my ankle. His assessment, advice, and care were stellar from the start. He began with a more conservative treatment plan, which I greatly appreciated since I wanted to avoid surgery if at all possible. After it became clear that I would need the surgery to repair my outer ankle ligaments, Dr. Joseph was readily available to answer all of my questions throughout the process.
His energy is vibrant and uplifting; he genuinely cares about his patients’ well being and recovery. I had the surgery in March of 2016. The surgery went extremely well and Dr. Joseph was very attentive throughout the entire post-​surgery process. His expertise is unparalleled. It’s been a little over 2 months now and remarkably I’m back to my full yoga practice and even started running again.
Thanks to Dr. Joseph and his incredible team for getting me back on my feet again.

Dr. Joseph was very attentive and considerate with my needs. He went out of his way to make sure I was well taken care of and made surgery very easy and as painless as possible. He was very detail oriented and made sure to answer any questions I had. I am very grateful to have found him and I highly recommend him! Thanks Dr. Joseph!

Love my new doctor! He is super attentive and makes extra sure that we are comfortable and well taken care of! The customer service is amazing! I will defiantly keep coming back and will defiantly refer to friends and family.

I love my doctor! Doctor Joseph is the best! I had my second surgery with him yesterday, and everything went well. He just called me to know how I am feeling. He is very nice and really care about his patients !! Thank you again !!

The best Podiatrist in L.A. IMO, Not only is he an amazing Dr., he is an amazing human, just an all around good person, not to mention very entertaining!
I first went to Dr. Joseph back in 2011 b/​c I needed insoles, he made me some that I STILLl wear, I’m a waitress and they have saved my lower back.
Now, here it is 2016, I have an ingrown big toe nail that had gotten infected, numb, hurts ~ well he took me right in, and did all he could w/​o having to do surgery.
He also cares about patients paying as little as possible out of pocket, and that I appreciate since I am out of work at this time. He still remembered me, and it was like the years hadn’t passed, he fixed me up and gave me antibiotics, and I’m on the mend!
Also the office runs like a well oiled machine, everyone is so knowledgeable, and nice, every single one of them!
Thank you all!

After suffering from pain in my toe I decided to see a podiatrist… Dr. Joseph is listed as a covered podiatrist under my insurance plan (CIGNA PPO) …of course I came to Unilocal to look at his reviews… after seeing all the great reviews I decided to make an appointment. During my first visit he made an instant finding! I was a little confused and yes he does speak really fast but he took the time to slow down and answer all my questions :). An MRI was ordered and I then had a follow up appointment for my next step (surgery). I had my procedure the following week (today) and everything went great! Dr. Joseph is EXCELLENT!!! My experience could not have been better.

Worried I had done permanent damage following a series of ankle sprains, I asked my doctor at Pacific Oaks to recommend somebody. Luckily, they had a Podiatrist in-​house: Dr. Joseph.
Right from the beginning, Dr. Joseph was positive and helpful, yet stern. He encouraged my recovery, while also mixing in a good dose of tough love regarding the reality of my condition.
It turned out I’d torn several ligaments and had what Dr. Joseph described as «the loosest ankle he had ever seen.» The radiology report was several pages long, and I was initially worried by the scale of my injuries.
We tried physical therapy, with the warning that if it didn’t work, I’d need surgery. In the end, we agreed to surgery.
My experience with the surgery was EASY. The Dr. explained everything I’d need to know, and offered encouragement every step of the way.
The recovery was quick, uncomplicated, and painless. Of course, I followed all of Dr. Joseph’s instructions, which was probably key.
Through an aggressive set of follow up appointments, the doctor tracked my progress and encouraged my recovery every step of the way. I was referred to Back2Health Physiotherapy, who were also immensely helpful in my recovery.
A year later, my ankle is now GOOD AS NEW. I can bike a century without pain. Run? No problem! Squats? So strong! Hike Mt. Baldy? Stable as ever! If you have the misfortune of injuring yourself, you will be in very good hands if you choose Dr. Joseph in your search for rehabilitation.

Had surgery with Dr. Joseph a couple years ago and have been seeing him for years for my ankle issues. He’s always been great. Custom fit orthotics and friendly bedside manner.

At first I was a little worried about Dr. Joesph because he talked very fast so you do need to slow him down sometimes. But he likes that because he wants to be sure you understand everything he is doing. He does explain everything. Doctor Joseph was right from the very beginning with his diagnosis but before we jumped into surgery we tried other things like physical therapy and insoles for my shoes. But we did end up having surgery. The surgery went great and I’m felling really good. When other Doctors could figure things out Dr. Joseph knew what to do. It also fun to watch him do his job and how he interacts with his staff. He even said he «loved» working on my foot, he «had so much fun». I bet he tells all his patients that!

Dr Joseph is simply the best. I was lucky enough to find him through a search on Zoc Doc and I’m so fortunate that I did. He not only is the best in the biz when it comes to repairing foot injuries, but he is fun, genuine and compassionate — I honestly look forward to the appointments I have with him just because his energy is that great. Couldn’t recommend him more — after dealing with heel pain and frustrating plantar fasciitis for 6 months, his plan has me back on my feet (literally) and working out again without pain.

I’ve known Dr. J for 10+ years. To say he’s the best, would be an understatement. Not only is he one of the kindest and most compassionate doctors that I know, he goes way way way out of his way to help his patients. I had surgery yesterday and in the days leading up to my operation and even today, he called from his cell to discuss things. Above and beyond that, I was out of the country prior to the procedure and there were some questions that needed answering. Since I didn’t have phone service but there was wifi, Dr. Joseph took time out of his day to Facetime me to make sure I was clear on everything and felt comfortable. I can’t think of another doctor who would do that??? I saw two 1-​star reviews below and am astounded by them. I’ve never met a doctor who’s less about the $$$ and all about their patient’s health and recovery. Obviously, nobody is perfect, but I am certain that Dr. J did everything in his power to take care of them, as he did me. That’s his nature.
You won’t find a better more loving Podiatrist, guaranteed.

I could complain about the hour+ wait, or the prescriptions written for me that never arrived, or heck even the fact it took 3-​days to schedule the MRI. However, my biggest gripe with this doctor is the fact that I was told I could try to put weight on my foot — the same foot that was later diagnosed as being broken. I left the office in tears not understanding what to do and left waiting for follow up call or for insurance to send me something.
I took my MRI (*that didn’t happen for one week post appointment) to another doctor the very next day. I was seen immediately and a fracture of the cuboid was discovered. I was fitted for a boot, my personal foot complications were discussed, and a game plan was made. I was not contacted by Dr. Josephs’ office for 3-​days post MRI, to which I was asked if I could come in to discuss the MRI results 10 DAYS later. I would think the doctor should have reviewed the MRI and known there was an urgency to correct his initial assessment. My new doctor has specially required my foot to be non-​weight baring. I thank the stars above that I was smart enough to request my second opinion and finally on the road to recovery — all long before I would have even seen the doctor to discuss the MRI results.

I went to see Dr. Joseph because my right foot was hurting. He sold me some inserts and sent me with his buddy for physical therapy. It never hot better and we just sold me bunch of stuff. Needless to say my foot is worse and now i am with a new doc. Oh and he sent me to access imaging where the imaging quality is not good so now I have to pay for another mri

I have seen Dr. Joseph for about 9 or 10 years now and have been extremely pleased with him. He has helped me through some very hard times with my feet. He has performed a few surgeries on my feet and cared for me fabulously. He is personable, has good bedside manners and is an all around nice-​guy. He definitely knows his business and my nicely healed feet attest to that.
I would recommend him to anyone, and have even sent my manager to see him for his foot problems. He also likes Dr. Joseph.

Came here for my follow up visit and this doctor still blows my mind! His expertise and candor spirit really puts me at ease. Dr. Joseph had an answer to every little question I had.
I appreciate his reassurance and helping with my condition. Thank you Dr. Joseph for being a great doctor who really cares about their patients! Definitely a rare find.

I’ve been searching for the right foot specialist for EIGHT YEARS after I had an emergency surgery for a broken ankle in a foreign country. I went here today for the first time to see Dr. Joseph based on Unilocal reviews.
From the minute I walked in, I was treated courteously and respectfully by the office staff. Dr. Joseph is a live wire which initially made me wary because I wondered if he would be able to take the time to really look at my situation. I thought he might just use that giant smile to try and dazzle me into numb acceptance of my plight. But no… this guy not only knows his work (like a textbook) but loves what he does.
For the first time since the surgery, I felt I was in good hands. I walked away from the appointment with Dr. Joseph 10 minutes later feeling encouraged and hopeful. I’m going to enjoy walking again and wearing heels. I’m waiting to express full satisfaction until I’ve fully recovered from surgery. There will be updates.

My almost 3 ½yr old daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis just before her 1^st birthday. The arthritis is in both knees and both ankles. We were equally worried when we thought how her walking and standing and jumping and simply being a toddler would evolve. Recently we noticed that the Arthritis was now effecting her hips and needed to seek out toddler size shoe inserts to help elevate the strain in her joints and give her steady balance. Dr. Joseph was recommended and we couldn’t be happier! With her joint flair ups under control, and the shoe inserts helping with the even balance needed, she can go much longer throughout the day running, jumping, and being a toddler! #insertsforallshoes
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I don’t even know where to begin. At first I was hesitant to even contact Dr. Joseph with the fear of him being too expensive. I tried contacting other offices first and all 6 of the other Doctors denied me because I didn’t have insurance and did not want to assist me in any way shape or form.
I finally decided to give it a shot and contact him because of everything that I have heard from interpersonal skills to his excellent knowledge as a Podiatrist.
With this horsesh** economy, I don’t have insurance to help pay for my medical needs. I am a full time student and with the amount of work I do get I help out my family. So I spoke to doctor Joseph and these were his exact words, «Don’t worry about the money, come in here and I will take care of you».
I was in shock. I made an appointment with his Assistant Jonathan who is also excellent and was seen almost immediately. Not only am I grateful for all of his help, I am also feeling so much better. His insoles are amazing and I feel 110% better than the first time I walked in to his office!!!
Thank you Dr. Joseph you are the absolute best!!!
