Richard B Haas, DPM

I paid out of pocket to see this Dr. He saw me for no more than a minute and a half at a cost of $ 60. His «notes» for the visit which I had to battle to get for months consisted of a few words, with zero information about the full dx, ROM, or anything of any significance. This place is a mill; patient care is non-​existent.

First he told me that I have a neuroma in my foot, then he said my foot pain is being caused by my spinal stenosis, which I only have a mild case of. In any case, after several visits over a period of nearly a year my foot still hurts like hell. On the plus side he removed a fragment from my foot that I was unable to remove myself. They seemed to have a very difficult time keeping track of approved referrals from my health insurance. The bottom line is that I’m trying to get referred to another podiatrist because is seems to be ridiculous for me to have to suffer over something so simple.

Office staff is nice and Dr. is OK… But this office does not follow up with their patients and the lack of a true computer system in place for their office makes them very inefficient and disorganized. I called today to find out the last time my son was seen and because their Hemet office is picking up the main line (because their Temecula office is closed), they said that they have no access to the Temecula office’s records and that I would have to call back tomorrow when the Temecula office is open. I spoke to another foot doctor and my son is over due for new inserts, they must have enough business not to need mine. Its been over a year and a half since I have been there and its time they get a system in place so they can better serve their customers. I will be taking my business somewhere else.

I was referred to Dr. Haas’ office by my primary physician. My insurance took their sweet time approving, but as soon as it came through, I got an appointment in 2 days. I came in and got absolutely straight answers. As a Retired Marine, I appreciate the specialist telling me what needs to happen. He submitted a STAT request as my condition was extremely painful. I got the approval this morning and had the procedure this afternoon. I’m reading other reviews about him being gruff and short. I’m okay with that. I’m not one for wasting words. As for the procedure, he was great at managing expectations, and even better at the procedure. Great technique. Quick, accurate, no wasted movement, and pain kept to a minimum. I enjoyed the professionalism from both Dr. Haas and his staff.
Thank you, sir!

I have been going to Dr. Haas for various treatments and procedures. Every single time it has been a pleasant and successful experience. He never overbooks his patients and makes sure to give me his 100% attention during each visit. He makes me feel welcomed, safe, and encouraged no matter what. It is evident that he cares more about the success of my treatments and me as a person than anything else. His staff is efficient, thorough, and inviting. Every room in his office is clean and tidy. I will always go to Dr. Haas for all of my family’s podiatry needs.

I was told dr haas was great and he would take good care of me but they did not happen I had a stress fracture that had become calcified but he kept telling me no you have planter fasciitis then he proceeded to tell me what I felt. Talked over me and would not listen. My second visit I brought my son with me to see if it was me just being in pain and over sensitive but no! He did the same thing with him in the room. He actually did an injection as I objected to the injection. He would not listen to me as my pain and injury kept getting worse. It’s my foot for Christ sakes I need my feet! He is either side tracked or just don’t care. He would be calling out instructions as he was walking out the door into the next patients room. Maybe he has been helpful for others but I am pretty demanding when it comes to my health care, it is my health I am caring for so I tend to have high standards! From my experience I would never recommend him!

I has an appointment last year with Dr. Haas in Temecula. He was a little confused on who I was. No problem. The foot problem I had, he told me that his assistant would get me the number I needed to get my problem worked out. She was a little rude but said she would call me, She never called and I went somewhere else. I thought medicare paid the bill but they did not. I was going to tell them not to pay the bill because I never received the service. Dr. Haas turned it over to a collection agency.
Yes, I will pay the bill, but I am against doctor entitlements. If you don’t do the work, you should not get paid, but of course they have a totally different view, If I say Hi, it;s going to cost you a $ 150.
