Mehryar Amirkiai's Online Review Report Card

Dr Amirkiaei is very friendly and professional and friendly staff , we are very happy with surgery that he did on my wife feet.

Dr. Amirkiai is the best. Myself and my family have been patients for over 10 years. His care is top notch.

Would not recommend for various reasons:- Had a consistent wait time of 45+ minutes every time I showed up for an appointment even though I would show up in advance- Was overcharged for orthotics ($1200) and other podiatrists later confirmed that orthotics should cost $500-$700- Was not refunded my part of the $275 deposit until I called 6 months later - shouldn't this be handled by the office?- I was complaining about foot pain after pairing orthotics with Hokas (the shoes they recommended) - and the doctor simply told me that "it should get better" and I just need to "walk more with them"- After walking more with them, the foot pain increased and my hammertoe got worse as my toes were cramped with the shoe and orthotics- These are permanent issues I will now have to deal with, and I will never trust this podiatrist with my feet ever again. He did not listen to my issues, had extremely long wait times and overcharged orthotics, and overall did not make me feel valued as a patient.I'm currently in Los Angeles and saw another podiatrist which:- Had shorter wait times (and apologized for any wait time at all)- Treated me like a person - listened to my concerns and explained everything thoroughly- Told me the orthotics were overpriced and offered suggestions to fix my issuesOverall, I do not recommend Dr. Michael Amirkai! Find another podiatrist

They require a deposit of $275 to make you shoe inserts, but they don't pay it back to you even though they were paid by the insurance company. When you call them to inquire about it, front desk receptionist gets angry, and gives the runaround. I ordered several shoe inserts. Each time, they filed claims 6-7 months later. I almost forgot about my deposit of $275 for each pair since they waited very long time to file claims. Who remembers paying a deposit of $275 six-seven months ago!!!In addition to the deposit fraud, he charged for stuff he never did. I simply went and picked up my shoe inserts but he charged my insurance for stuff he never did.Beware of the insurance, deposit FRAUD! Very rude secretary at the reception.

Nice staff.

When my wife had her ankle fractured, she was worried a lot as we live in India and had come here for a vacation.We were unable to get an urgent appointment as normally is the case here. However Dr. Amirkiai went out of his working (consulting) hours and gave us one. After consulting Dr. Amirkiai, my wife was so relaxed that she was in high spirits. Dr. Amirkiai is undoubtedly one of the best podiatrist you can find. He is so caring and professional in his approach. Also he empathizes with the patient's problems.Seeing the dried up skin of my wife's foot, he applied some cream to it and gently rubbed it in. After consulting him, my wife recovered very fast and started to walk with a lot of confidence.

I went to Dr. Amirkiai with painful feet. He took a conservative approach with fitting me with orthotics, and when that did not resolve the pain, and based on x-rays, he did joint resurfacing of great toe joints and bunionectomies on each foot, 3 months apart. Surgeries and recoveries were successful, and he patiently fine-tuned my orthotics before I set off on a 500 mile / 800 km pilgrimage hike, the Camino Frances of El Camino de Santiago in Spain, 6 months after my second foot surgery. I was able to complete the journey! Many thanks to this kind and capable physician and his staff.

Best foot doctor ever. Friendly staff super clean clinic.

I've been going to see Dr. A for about a month or so now as I wanted to get a second opinion on my right foot pain. I had been seeing another podiatrist but was not getting any relief. I looked up the reviews for Dr. A and decided to give him a try. Right away I was happy with his level of care and professionalism. He worked with me on getting the right pair of shoes, and I am currently getting a new brace. I would highly recommend him for all your foot pain issues as he knows exactly what to do to take care of you. Great doctor, great staff and I look forward to continue working with someone with his level of experience.

I've seen Dr Amirkiai several times. Trouble free each time, and it's a pleasure talking with him. I enjoy going, minus the knifey stuff.
