Deborah Chen, DPM

I am only giving this office one star because I have to in order to leave a review. I would never refer this doctor to anyone!
Her phone manners and her office staff are horrible. She try’s to talk circles around you. I have no idea if my procedure was done right. I’m seeing a specialist to find out.
After performing surgery she will NOT fill out the proper disability forms needed for my job.
This is NOT a patient friendly doctor or office!
I could go on and on… after seeing my personal physician he has referred me to Dr. Lee in Santa Monica. Their office has been beyond helpful!
Dr Chen, you think referrals don’t matter. This morning alone the entire lobby of the medical office asked me who my dr was I said I would never refer this doctor but they wanted to know your name anyway and guess what I TOLD THEM!

Wanted to give a stellar review to Dr. Chen and her office staff. I only had to wait 5 minutes before seeing her. She was extremely thorough and took x-​rays and explained them to me as well. She even suggested a lower cost alternative to orthotics outside her office.
Excellent bedside manner. I highly recommend her!

I can’t tell you what exactly has gone wrong but I lost ALL the cartilage in the big toe by the bone spur that was operated on. At this point I am pulling out the big guns and heading to a highly regarded Orthopedic surgeon to do the re-​do and the other foot.
I also had what looked to be a pressure corn on the ball of my foot. Dr Chen scraped it multiple times but did not do an excision. After having no luck with OTC corn removers, after 6 months or so I finally decided to remove it myself. It turned out not to be a corn but rather a hair splinter (never even heard of one before) and something that she shouldn’t have missed in my opinion.
As much as I love Dr. Chen, I would now suggest, if having surgery, to go to an Orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Chen is a podiatrist who has been taking care of my feet for several years. She has always been very professional and I’ve been happy with her treatment when I’ve needed it. She knows feet!
I had an appointment with her today and was taken into the patient room almost immediately. I waited only two or three minutes for her to come in and she spent about 20 minutes with me (turns out I had a minor inflammation of a tendon in the arch of my foot). She answered all my questions and, as it wasn’t very serious, she simply gave me some exercises to do over the next couple of weeks.
I give Dr. Chen a full 5 stars but have to knock off one star due to the lousy parking at this medical building. Valet only. $ 3 every 20 minutes with no validation. The office doesn’t offer validation! Yikes!
