Dr. Nik’s Foot & Ankle Center

Been treated myself for an ankle injury about 3 years ago and referred so many grateful friends and family members who received excellent professional care and avoided unnecessary invasive treatments since then. Dr. Nik is very responsible, caring and professional.

I’ve had lingering foot issues on and off for more than a decade, and hadn’t found a new podiatrist since moving to LA. I found Dr. Nik through the Blue Shield site and feel like I hit the lottery. He’s straightforward and attentive, and I got top notch care.

I went to Dr. Nik for my neuroma and plantar fasciitis. He was so patient, caring, and knew exactly how to relieve the pain. I feel so lucky that I finally found a podiatrist that really cares! I strongly recommend Dr. Nick for all your foot needs!

I took my 13 year old son to Dr. Nikravesh for an ingrown nail that was severely infected. Dr. Nik was amazing with my son! The procedure was difficult, especially for a teenage boy. Dr. Nik did a great job of explaining all the steps to my son and putting him at ease. Dr. Nik is professional and he is great with kids. He even called the house twice after the procedure to check up on my son.

The results of my experience with Dr. Nikravesh were less than stellar. Having a collapsed arch and requiring orthotic inserts that are not covered by Medicare, I was referred to Dr. Nik by my insurance carrier. Once there, office procedures dictate that the patient pay $ 305 for orthotic inserts, before seeing the doctor. I should have turned around then but I was hoping for a miracle. Once one sees the doctor, he takes impressions of your feet and a few weeks later you receive your new inserts. It is emphasized that they are not guaranteed. I was taken aback by the almost medieval construction of these devices and wearing them was, for me, akin to torture. May I suggest you ask to see samples of his inserts before you pay, then proceed as your judgement dictates. On the positive side, his office staff was highly competent and I am sure that he genuinely did his best. He wanted me to be a satisfied customer/​patient, but like his inserts, such cannot be guaranteed.

Last year i needed Foot surgery and interviewed 3 DR’S. Well needles to say Dr. Nik was my # 1 choice. At every appt. Dr. Nik took the time to discuss and go over any questions I had. He was very detailed and you could tell that he truly cares about his patients. I felt very comfortable with him and would recommend him to all my friends and family without hesitation. My surgery went excellent ! Well here I am again needing my other foot surgery.
Of course I did not even have to think one moment who I would ask to do my Foot Surgery.
Dr. Nik ! :) I feel very confident and ready for my next Foot surgery knowing that Dr. Nik
will be performing it.

Dr Nikravesh is so professional and very genuine with his patients.
I took my younger child for a broken foot, later my oldest for orthotics and now I have been going for bunion treatments. I highly recommend Dr Nik and his staff as they care for the patient with respect and integrity. If the need arises for such a professional, I would recommend to all without hesitation.

Dr. Nik is amazing at what he does. Been going for a while to him for orthotics and I could noticeably feel the difference. He wouldn’t let me leave his office until he had me walk for 20 minutes just to see my posture and paid really close attention to detail. His team in the front are pretty good at answering my questions as well. He made a patient for life out of me!!!

I went to see Dr. Nik because I had two wounds that wouldn’t heal. He was gentle and very efficient. After only 3 weeks, he helped my wounds close and begin a healthy healing process. Now I am able to wear shoes, go swimming and bike riding. I am so pleased with his work. After seeing another doctor for 2 months, it only took 3 weeks for Dr. Nik to help my wounds begin the process of healthy healing. Thanks Dr. Nik.

Dr. Nik is one of the dads at the school where I work, so when I had what I thought was an ingrown toenail, I figured i should just go to him. SO glad I did! He is caring and thorough – and has a great «bedside manner.» It turn out what I had was NOT an ingrown nail but an abscess which he quickly and painlessly treated, and then gave me simple and clear instructions on how to care for it. I have since had him fit me for orthotic inserts, and they feel great!
His staff and family are lovely people and a pleasure to see any time. I will continue going to Dr. Nik for as long as he is in my area and continues to practice!

My young daughter had a heel spur and the beginning of flat feet and Dr. Nik took great care of her. He’s very personable & kind, knowledgeable, and was attentive with his treatment and his follow up. Highly recommended.

Dr. Nik is great at what he does. Loved him! He explains everything and doesn’t let you go with doubt. The ladies in the front are so nice and empathetic, they explained my insurance very well. Totally recommend them, they are super good and most importantly im not in pain anymore!!!

Dr. Nik is caring, friendly and an amazing doctor. I first went in for a volleyball injury in high school and he healed me in no time. Dr. Nik and His staff were always so genuine and attentive to all my concerns. I highly recommend him to everyone I meet.

Customer service nightmare. I had a office visit on Sept. 29, 2014 to be fitted for some custom orthotics (insoles). The podiatrist tried to sell me two and a bunch of other stuff. He seemed more interested in selling me more items than the pain in my ankle. I did buy Dr. Comfort flip flops (to be shipped to me) from him which have helped my ankle alot.
The parking lot at the Wilshire Blvd office is the size of a postage stamp and the do no validate.
Dr. Nik’s office said that the orthotics would be mailed to me from their office in 2 – 3 weeks.
The Dr. Comfort flip flops came directly from the vendor in less than two weeks.
I called after the 3^rd week and the orthotics had still not arrived. I called after the 4^th week. Sunny said the orthotics were there but they we’re waiting for the Dr. Comfort flip flops so they could mail them together. I said I already has the flip flops so they could mail me the orthotics. She said she would. Did not arrive.
I called on the fifth week and had the identical conversation with them. Again, got a promise to mail the orthotics that week. Did not arrive.
On the Sunday of the sixth week, I sent them fax with a copy of the receipt for the Dr. Comfort flip flops and a picture of both the shoe box with my name on it and the flip flops on my feet.
Today is Monday, Nov. 10. Six weeks later. Dr. Nik’s office called me today and said they got my fax and would mail out my orthotics today. I hope so but I have been told this twice before.

I suffer from gout, high arches and get planar facetious and Dr Nik had been amazing. His orthotics are top notch, and allowed me to be pain free for the first time in years! Thanks Dr Nik!

I am a marathon runner and had a bad case of plantar fasciitis. Three years ago, I went to see Dr. Nik’s and started to use his custom made orthotics. And now, I can continue to run marathon pain free.
The orthotics that he made happens to be beautiful to look at. But most importantly, they are the best custom made orthotics I have even seen. I have compared my orthotics to my other running friends’, and there is no comparison. My orthotics hold their shapes and extremely durable. Let me tell you I put them through their paces.

Dr. Nik is the king of no pain! I broke three metatarsals in my right foot in May. Dr. Nik was able to take care of my need all within his nurturing office environment. He x-​rayed me and then put a cast on me. I was sooo worried I would not be able to go on a 22 day family vacation to Europe in August. Dr. Nik told me if I followed his instructions I would be ready for my dream vacation. After the cast was taken off I was put in a walking boot. I went to physical therapy and did foot exercises. I went on my trip with no foot issues, just as Dr. Nik said I would. There is parking in the building. The office staff is sweet and helpful.Dr. Nik is quite knowledgeable and has a kind and gentle manner. If you need an amazing foot Doctor go see Dr. Nik.
