Clients reviews about All South Bay Footcare

I had been dealing with severe and debilitating pain in my heel for well over a year and had finally decided I needed surgery to repair the injury. I went to see Dr. Eliani and he suggested a much more conservative treatment option rather than surgery. I agreed to try the shock wave therapy he recommended as a last resort prior to surgery and after only two treatments, the pain had improved at least 70%! I'm almost back to normal with minimal pain and I'm thrilled that I don't need surgery at all! I also saw Dr. Tareen for one of the two treatments and I am so happy to know both doctors and their excellent patient care and their conservative approach. Their staff is friendly and accommodating, and I especially appreciate Derrick, who is an amazing tech and assistant. Thank you all for helping me get back to living without chronic pain! ~ Kimberly E

Dr. Albert Elhiani is the best. I was seeing another foot doctor whose name I will not mention. All he was doing was taking x-ray of my foot, collecting my money and no results. I decided to get a second opinion and that's how I met Dr. Elhiani. My first appointment, he sprung into action. They took x-ray of my foot and then he showed me the x-ray and explained to me what was going on. He has excellent bedside manners and the staff are very nice. The service I received was way better than expected. The picture to your left was from seeing the other foot doctor. The one on the right is after seeing dr. Elhiani. If you want really good foot care I highly recommend you see dr. Elhiani. He is the best 👌🏽. ~ Rabiosa M

Updated Review: I'm pleased to share that the office called me to schedule an appointment! And when I went in, they took care of me efficiently and kindly. I had an ingrown that was super painful and they were able to do a quick procedure to remove it that had me out of there in 15 minutes and with no pain the remainder of the day or week. It was such a relief and I really appreciated how quickly they could see me. I must have called during a lunch hour or at some point when the phone was off. Was worth trying to make it happen though! Original Review: I’m not sure how anyone has gotten ahold of this office for a same day appointment, or any appointment for that matter. I’ve filled out a contact form, called the number (which goes straight to voicemail) and haven’t heard back in weeks. Hope to find another podiatrist whose front office actually picks up the phone! ~ Laura T

I visited All South Bay Footcare today for some pain in my feet. I was immediately welcomed with a smile and promptly ushered in to a room. The nurse started Ultra Sound. Dr. Tareen walked in to check up on my issue and care. He made suggestions and gave me shoe inserts that he thought would be better for me. After finishing Ultra Sound, she escorted me to another room where whirlpool foot bath was set up. After 15 minutes Derrick came in with a pain relief cream. He applied the cream and massaged my foot. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE for the welcoming nature of all employees, great nurses and of course Dr. Tareen who takes personal interest in your issues. ~ Ratan L

I had such a great experience at South Bay Footcare in Torrance with Dr. Tareen. The office is welcoming, the staff is incredibly friendly, and everyone made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. After trying to “fix” my bunions myself with over-the-counter toe separators while wearing my work shoes, I ended up making things much worse. My foot was in constant pain, and I had completely thrown off its alignment. Dr. Tareen quickly identified what was going on, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and gave me a treatment plan that immediately put me at ease. Just one day into treatment, my pain is already gone, and I can walk comfortably again.( with a special shoe on) I’m so grateful I found South Bay Footcare. If you’re dealing with foot pain, don’t make the same mistake I did—go see Dr. Tareen. Highly recommend! ~ Monika T

I had an outstanding experience at All Southbay Foot Care! From the moment I walked in, Rosie, the Office Manager, and the entire staff made me feel welcome with their kindness and professionalism. Dr. Lashkari is an exceptional podiatrist knowledgeable, attentive, and truly dedicated to patient care. The level of service provided was excellent, and the entire team went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and comfortable visit. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate podiatrist, I highly recommend All Southbay Foot Care. You’ll receive top-notch care from a team that truly puts patients first! ~ Janet K

I recently visited All South Bay Footcare for a long-term ankle issue and had the pleasure of being assisted by Britney Perez. From the moment we met, Britney made me feel completely heard. She took the time to truly understand the history of my injury before taking my X-rays, ensuring the process was smooth and efficient. Beyond her clear knowledge and professionalism, Britney is incredibly empathetic and warm. She has a great sense of humor that really put me at ease during a stressful visit. It is rare to find a medical assistant who is both highly skilled and so naturally personable. Highly recommended! ~ Allen T

I saw Dr Vanek for an ingrown toenail. She was so friendly and personable. I was a little scared but she put me at ease by thoroughly explaining what she was going to do. When she started the procedure, numbing, it hurt and she talked to me about something unrelated to what she was doing and distracted me, then before I new it, she finished and I was numb. Procedure itself was quick and painless. Numbing was the only thing that hurt. Honestly, numbing pain was nothing in comparison to the pain I was feeling on a regular basis from my ingrown toenail. Wish I would’ve gone to see her sooner. Thank you Dr Vanek! ~ Pamela M

Dr. Damien was a dream. I came in today with an ingrown toenail problem and left the happiest I could possibly be! He was very kind, patient and 100% understanding of my foot care needs. He made sure I was in no pain every step of the way and thoroughly wanted to help me with my issue. I would highly recommend using All South Bay Footcare. I didn't know where I was going to go and I'm happy I chose this place! They took excellent care of me and everything was fast and pain free just as I had read in previous reviews. Thank you again Dr Damien and team. ~ Staci N

Went here for help with my feet; duh :o) The office feels new and is well-maintained. The photo is in the waiting area. So cool. I just had to touch it and it is not moss, but carpet. Dr. Pooya Lashkari spent time examining the offender on my foot, ordered x-rays and made several suggestions of what I could do on my own. He also mentioned surgery but said that is down the road and only if I feel I needed it. We have a game plan; starting off with non-aggressive treatment (custom insoles) and see how that plays out. All my questions were answered and I left satisfied. ~ Ask M

Honestly, one of the best experiences I've had at a doctor's office--ever. From my initial contact with the office mgr, Rosie, to being greeted with smiles by all the staff, to meeting and being helped by Dr. Elhiani, this doctor's visit was top notch! I was so stressed out about the pain in my heel, and what I thought was going to be a painful procedure. Dr. Elhiani explained what he was going to do--then did it, relatively pain-free! Everyone in the office was extremley kind and accommodating. I highly recommend All Southbay Footcare for any of your podiatry needs! 😎 ~ John D

As Always.....Staff was courteous, professional and very thorough in preparation for Doctor consultation. Dr. Tareen was courteous, very thorough with addressing any issues or questions. And, very prompt with keeping appointment time. The Dr. , as well as myself, are very pleased with the progress thus far. My nails are clearing up quite nicely. In looking at the before and current pictures, it's shocking to see my untreated condition. My foot care progress is AMAZING!!!! Happy healthy feet, make for a happy healthy life. Enjoy this beautiful So Cal weather ~ Jose R

My Daughter saw Dr. Tareen and he was absolutely wonderful. Unbelievably caring and answered all of our questions. His staff was on top of everything. Playing around with our daughter making her feel comfortable and less focused on her injury. Dr. Tareen’s assistant went above and beyond coming back into the room giving us an update on how much long the Dr. would be before we were seen. THAT NEVER HAPPENS. EVER! I could go on and on. We highly recommend De. Tareen and look forward to coming back next week for our Daughters followup appt. ~ Sara A

My son was seen by Dr. Teles for a wart removal. It shows their confidence that they offer complimentary consultation. Dr. Teles explained to us in details what he would do, what needs to be done, and even our 12 year old son was so comfortable trusting his experience and knowledge. Actual surgery was quick, and he even offers to see you twice after surgery and all visits are included in one price which was extremely reasonable. We highly recommend Dr. Teles if you have any problems with your feet!! ~ keith r

My first time in 38yrs of life going to a foot doctor and I'm extremely glad I did my research and came here. My Doctor, Dr. Lashkari was very informative and addressed multiple problems that have been bugging me for years! As a police officer for over 16yrs my feet have been through the ringer especially considering the boots I wear for 12+ hours a day. I couldn't believe that it would only take 1 visit to fix most of my problems. I would highly recommend this place as well as Dr. Lashkari. Your feet will seriously thank you later! ~ Jimmy S

I took my absolute chances with Dr Elhiani as I was so desperate to do both my feet extreme pains issues with bunion, hammer toe and ingrown nails . All I can say he was and is the best with what he does with so much knowledge and experience and care . After 5 weeks of surgery I can totally walk pain free . I personally thank the staff for their an amazing service for my last minutes decision to have surgery right after Xmas day. I highly recommend dr, Elhiani and his entire staff for your issues🌸🌸🌸 ~ shirin h

Been coming here since Dr Teles. He retired couple years ago so decided to give Dr Elhiani a try. Glad I did! He’s a great doctor. When my feet are bothering from gout or plantar fasciitis he knows how to relieve the pain immediately. No offense to Dr Teles but Dr Elhiani is so much better at making you feel comfortable and explaining your condition. Their staff are also very friendly and responsive. You won’t be waiting long during your appointment or making one. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the Southbay. ~ Leo O

Dr. Elhiani is amazing!! This was my first visit at All South Bay Footcare, and it was an extremely positive experience. Everyone was great, and of course it begins with the doctor. Dr. Elhiani is truly a skilled and talented medical practitioner. He's also a friendly individual who clearly cares about his patients. He diagnosed my condition, explained his plan of action, and answered all my questions. Based on my experience, I would happily and enthusiastically recommend this terrific doctor to anyone!! ~ Ron B

I'm blown away with the positivity and the vibe of this space. I love coming, just to see everyone who works there. They over extend themselves and make my foot problems go away. I've come back three times, to get treatments to feel even better, and I walk out feeling so so much better. I never write reviews, but was so inclined because of the positive experience I have over and over again. I wish every office space was filled with people like this! ~ Lauren D

Was sold lamisil tabs to treat my nail fungus and sold a topical otc which he said he was selling for what he pays, said he doesn't make money off it and wants to help ppl, I doubted it but bought it since I was at the office, paid like 15 for it and when I got home I was shocked to see that amazon sells the same thing for 70! This Dr is indeed about helping ppl and not the typical greedy person as some just care about money, God bless you Doc! Repent and follow Jesus Christ y'all. ~ Repent a

I have been dealing with foot issues (callouses, blisters, corns, etc) for two years now. I've seen a couple different podiatrists on numerous occasions but they only offered temporary relief. One visit with Dr. Tareen and my foot is good as new! Nothing short of a miracle! I had plans to return for a follow-up visit but a family emergency needed to be addressed and I ended up canceling the appointment. Not a day goes by that I'm not grateful for the care Dr. Tareen and his team provided. ~ Eddie A

This was an unexpected but GREAT experience! My first encounter with the office was the front desk gals, they were polite, fast, helpful and accommodating. I told them it was an emergency and they got me in same day! I got to see the doc and received a diagnosis with clear instruction on the best way to treat at home. Doctor was kind and gentle to my broken toe! He explained everything very well and reassured me that I would be fine ☺️ Wonderful office I look forward to my check up ♥️ ~ Lauren A

Dr.Elhiani was fantastic! He is very kind to patients, listens to your concerns and makes you feel comfortable during your appointment. He also is great at communicating what can be expected from surgeries, what recovery will look like and he expresses confidence in his skills and ability to get your feet back in good shape. I feel very safe and comfortable while planning to let him operate on me. The rest of the staff were also kind and attentive. Thank you! ~ Irena V

Dr. Pooya Lashkari is one of a kind. He is incredibly sweet, patient, and you can tell he genuinely cares for his patients. I had a list of questions and he patiently answered all of them. He speaks fluent Farsi/Persian as well which was very helpful for me. He found an answer to my symptoms right from my first visit despite prior doctors guessing. I recommend anyone looking for a podiatrist to not waste their time and arrange an appointment with Dr. Lashkari!! Truly the best. ~ Lily G
