Kourosh Harounian DPM

The most compassionate and fantastic doctor I’ve met in LA so far. He truly cares for patient’s well being, and a generous understanding for treatment method. I’m impressed.

Doctor Harounian is so cool! The consultation is free and they only charge you afterwards if you decide to take the consultation and advice. Even then it was a great deal. He even threw in some treatment medication for free!
I don’t like having to go in to see doctors but this doc makes it less painful esp on the pockets.

Dr. Harounian is such a great doctor. He is so kind and eager to solve any issues l’m having. The office staff are very sweet and professional. I don’t wait but a few minutes upon arrival to be seen by the doctor. This is definitely a doctor I’d recommend to people.

He is good, really good.

Such a kind, generous and intelligent doctor. Carries a good personality and truly cares about his patients. Walked in after being on my feet at Coachella for 3 days — my feet couldn’t keep up with me. Felt better moments after leaving. Lucky to have him right down the street. No need to search further for you foot doc. PS. I just walked in. No appt necessary.

I recently had bounion surgery, at this location. Dr very kind gentle, and professional. Didnt experience pain as everyone said.
Im completely satisfied with treatment and final result. Office nice, clean and equipped. I highly recommend dr kourush.

This dude is a great podiatrist. I went to a guy out in Los Feliz before Dr. Kourosh who prolonged the process and unnecessarily scheduled multiple appointments.
Dr. Kourosh told me exactly what was wrong, what needed to happen, what my insurance would cover and when it needed to be done. He also did a lot of pre and post op work that he didn’t even charge me for, as well as provided custom insoles for my shoes fitted specifically for my feet.
He genuinely wants to help you. He is very chill and very nice. Highly recommended. This guy deserves your business.

My first Unilocal review and I wanted to do it for this wonderful doctor and for those of you suffering with other podiatrists. I moved to the west coast — within a year I needed a doctor and I ended up with less than adequate medical treatment. After seeing 3 podiatrists and 4 appointments over a 6 month period, having a partial nail removal and repeated infections I was told by a co-​worker to see Dr. Harounian. I’m still healing, but more importantly, Dr. Harounian has improved my overall impression of the medical profession (at least Podiatrists.) Words can not express the gratitude I hold for him.

I found Dr. Kourosh on Unilocal after I experienced what felt like a severe ankle sprain. I reluctantly went to get it checked out after a week. I was experiencing shooting pains on both sides of my ankle and realized I needed a prognosis. Dr. Kourosh was very comforting and put my mind at ease. He explained everything in detail and even used diagrams to help me understand what I was experiencing. He treated my sprain for a week and wrote me a prescription for physical therapy to help me strengthen my ankle after so many injuries. I am so thankful to find a Healthcare professional that really cares about his patients. He was very mindful about what my deductibles would be and what my insurance would cover. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a podiatrist. He is very conscious of his client’s needs and I think the world needs more doctors like him!

My take away bases on my appt?
Dr Kourosh is very competent, skilled, professional and has a good sense of humor.
He showed me that he has the skills to diagnosis and treatment skills for my recently injured toe joint.
If you are having a foot problem, you are making a good choice seeing him.

I have more faith and trust in Dr Kourosh’s care than I have ever had with any other doctor. I highly, highly recommend him for any foot or ankle problems.
I’ve seen 6 different foot doctors in Boston and Florida and can confidently say that he is BY FAR the best foot doctor that I’ve ever been to. Do not be fooled by the location because you are getting world class care from a doctor.
I’ve seen him for a wide variety of problems (ingrown toenails, severely swollen toe, sprained ankle and foot pain that needed orthotics) and he has taken care of every issue. Before I saw him I had had about 10 ingrown toenail surgeries including ones at MGH in Boston with multiple doctors in the room. Dr Kourosh ended my toenail problems with two great surgeries. Since he operated on my two toes a year and a half ago I have had zero problems.
I cannot more highly recommend him to anyone looking for a foot or ankle doctor. He is amazing.

I was online one night, and came up with Pin Point Laser as a a possible remedy for my big toenail fungus and found a link to this doctor. I scheduled a consultation with the doctor and he laid out plan of action for me, with realistic expectations. The doctor even gave me realistic percentage of success rate with the various options for addressing my nail. Never once did he exaggerate, and this is also made me realize that he is not about the money. This doctor really cares about helping his patients achieve a cure in the most economical and sensible method. He did not once charge me for follow up visits as he stated he would not with the purchase of my Pin Point Laser treatment.
The laser treatment sometimes does not work on its own, and may need a combination of pills and Laser but the doctor warned me. He has seen me about 4 times, given me follow up treatments of the laser at no charge, and always has a positive attitude even if a case like mine is difficult. He is extremely knowledge in his field, and highly experienced. His pricing was unbelievably fair considering how many visits I had to go. They gave me a clear outline with instructions on how to take care of your feet such as disinfecting shoes, putting on anti fungal cream, etc. By the way, it has now been almost a year, and my nail has improved dramatically and is just about cured (needs a little more growth, and finishing up of Terbinafine pills). I will update in several months.
There is always a slight wait even with appointment, but never really long considering how many people are always there the times I went. I was even allowed to come in on a walk in basis as I my work schedule was tight. This doctor truly sets the standard in customer service and patient care. I highly recommend him.

UPDATE 1-​7-​2016:
It’s been around little more than a year since I got the procedure done. My toenail is growing out straight and I didn’t get any ingrown toenail yayyyy! Thank you again Dr. Kourosh!!!
I always had ingrown toenail since I was a kid. I use a sharp nail clipper to clip the side of the toenail and yank it out. It can get pretty painful but that was the only way to take those nasty nail out. My toe will swell up slightly but gets better after few days but this time something went wrong. It was my first time getting an infection due to an ingrown toenail!!! Rubbing alcohol with neosporin wasn’t working for me so I turned to Unilocal to look for a good Dr to treat my toe. Thanks to Unilocal I found a great Dr! I called Dr Kouroush’s office today and I was able to come in the same day! Did a quick consultation with Dr. Kourosh and did a procedure to take out half of my toe nail out so it can grow out straight. I was so scared but Dr. Kourosh was super nice and he explained the whole process to me. He started by spraying something cold on my toe, I think it was called a freezing spray and he put a numbing shot which wasn’t that painful. I didn’t want to look my toe so I was on my phone browsing stuff on the internet the whole time. The procedure took around 15 mins! It wasn’t painful at all! He gave me instructions on how to take care of my toe and booked another appointment for follow up exam. He also gave me a shoe to wear and prescribed me pain medication. It’s been about 5 hours since the «surgery» and I just took 2 advils and I feel fine. Thank you Unilocalers for helping me find D Kourosh! I definitely recommend him! I forgot to mention, all the staff members were really nice and friendly!

If you have any issue with your feet do not go anywhere else this doctor is the best. He has the latest treatment and technology I promise if he can’t take care of your issue then no one else can.

Went to see him because I had planter wart on the bottom of my feet he gave me three options freezing it, acid or surgery and I took the knife instead. He removed 5 in total yes 5 I let it go to long and it started to spread and for the price he charge me was not bad at all. I highly recommend him he is a very good foot doctor and I could say that I have found my foot doctor.

This my husband’s review detailing his experience with Dr. Harounian:
«I saw the doctor in September, 2014 for an ingrown toenail that I had let get out of control. My life experience with doctors has been minimal, so I was nervous about what kind of treatment would be necessary to alleviate my pain, how much it would cost, and how much physical pain would be involved.
The doctor’s patient care is exceptional. I was seen within minutes, and he immediately put my nerves at ease by reassuring me that there would be very little pain involved in the procedure. He also told me that I would be back to myself within a week, and that the whole thing — including a follow up appointment — would be done for $ 250.
Minutes later the doctor administered three shots of anesthetic into my toe, which was the only pain involved in the process. The doctor then performed the procedure in just a few minutes while I read news on my cellphone. Afterwards, I was provided with a prescription for pain meds and antibiotics as well as bandages and detailed instructions on how to take care of the wound every night. A week later the doctor gave me iodine for follow up care and told me that I was done.
My experience was excellent. The Doctor provided good care, quality service, and affordable prices. I hope I never have another issue with my toe, but if I do, I won’t hesitate to go back.»

BEST FOOT CLINIC IVE EVER BEEN TOO!!! Staff is really nice. The place looks really clean and sanitary. Dr. Kourosh is awesome. I made an appointment about 4 days ago for today about and ingrown toenail. I got there on time and had my paperwork done.
I then got called into the room where the surgery was gonna be done the nurse was really nice.Dr.Kourosh was also really nice I was nervous until he told me everything was going to be okay. He explained a little about what had happened to my toe and what was going on. He then explained what the procedure was going to be like.
At the beginning of the surgery I was nervous until he started conversating with me. During the procedure he asked if I was doing okay if it hurt and that made me feel really calm. He then finished and explained really clearly about what I had to do at home and how I had to take my medication.
I really recommend this to anyone with any foot problem. The location isn’t in a really nice place but after all I don’t regret coming here at all.

Very nice doctor. Friendly, helpful, knowledgable. He helped me with my foot problems and taught me how to take care of it so that it does not progress. The office is not in the nicest part of downtown so if you’re the uppity type you would probably not want to visit. The office on the inside was nice and comfortable though. I’d give the experience 4 stars.

I injured my toe a week ago, lifting most of my toe nail along with part of the bed. I waited that long to get it check by a professional because I was terrified of what was going to be done. Luckily I found Dr Kourosh through Unilocal.I went in Saturday with out an appointment so I waited about 10 – 15 minutes to see doctor. Which is not bad at all for a walk in. The receptionist is real nice and professional (didn’t catch her name). When Dr Kourosh walked in the room I was totally tense and nervous but all that went away when he started joking around, there is Something about him that makes you feel very comfortable. He removed my nail quickly and with out pain. It’s the day after my «surgery» and I feel great (possibly thanks to the meds) lol I will be going back in a week for my follow up. I hope it all goes well.
I recommend him. You can tell He truly cares about his patients and makes you feel comfortable right away. If you are scary cat like me, he is the man!

It is my 3^rd time going to Dr Harounian and he is the best! I had a really bad fungus in my toe… well I still do but after he personally removed the entire nail there has been a BIG improvement!
After a year of removing my nail I went back twice because I had an ingrown nail in that same toe (my luck)…he explained why it was happening and removed the little tip of my nail that was causing me pain. He did not charge the both times I went for that ingrown nail!
The staff is really nice too!
Overall Dr. Harounian is amazing! You can tell he really cares about his patients. He’s very friendly unlike other doctors I’ve gone to. Good prices too :) AND the consultation is free! I highly recommend him!
