Dr. Daniel Geller, DPM

I broke my 5^th Metatarsal in my right foot 8 weeks ago, and I was seeing a Podiatrist that said I can NOT walk on it 7 weeks in. I was getting a lot of mixed opinions so I decided to get a second opinion. I found Dr. Geller here on Unilocal and I really do believe the reviews here. I can say with 100% certainty Dr. Geller is amazing!!! He took the time to listen to what happened to my foot, amazing bedside manner, He took new digital x-​rays which showed another hairline fracture that my other doc never found. I have all the confidence in the world with his guidance I am going to heal very nice in a few more weeks. Don’t think twice about going to see another Podiatrist, Dr. Geller is the only doctor you need to see!!!

Dan Geller is one of the best foot surgeons/​Podiatrists on the West coast! He has an amazing bedside manner, explains everything going on. I recently broke my foot, he was realistic about healing time, how to take care of my foot and constantly checked up on me to make sure I was doing ok.
His office staff is very friendly and helpful as well.
Run…don’t walk to Dr. Geller, he is the only Podiatrist/​Foot Surgeon you will ever go see in LA!

I had an ingrown toenail that woke me up in the middle of the night. At 3 am, I was soaking my toe in warm water, trying to solve the problem myself. I was, not surprisingly, unsuccessful. I went to work and searched for a podiatrist close to work in Santa Monica– Dr. Geller’s office was quick to accommodate me, giving me an appointment for just 1.5 hours from the time of my call. When I arrived, I was pleased to find a parking lot. Dr. Geller’s «bedside manner» is attentive, gentle, informative and calming. My visit lasted 15 minutes and my toe is now on its full way to recovery. Just 3 days later and I can already wear closed-​toed shoes. Great staff, doctor and experience, especially for first-​timers like me. :)

You guys. Dr. Geller is everything. If you need a podiatrist, look no further. He is the ONLY podiatrist. I called late this afternoon to see if they could squeeze me in, and they did. And they were so nice about it. My ingrown toenails (gross) had become so painful – I just couldn’t take it anymore. I was the last patient of the day (on a Friday!), and Dr. Geller and his lovely staff were in great spirits. Not what you’d expect at 5 p.m. on Friday! They were prompt, kind and swiftly and thoroughly dealt with my issue. I feel so grateful to him for sorting this very frustrating and painful problem. Basically, this was the BEST experience I’ve ever had at a doctor’s office… ever. It’s just too bad he’s not a primary care physician that you could see year after year!

I have fallen arches and have worn orthotics for years. The pair I had were hurting my feet terribly, so I paid Dr. Geller a visit. Ive seen several different Podiatrists in my day and I must say Dr. Geller is head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. Very thorough, informative, took the time to explain my condition to me in detail in a very articulate manner. The orthotics he made me are unlike any other pair I’ve had. I can’t recommend him enough.

Great doctor! Took the time to answer all my questions and how to proceed with my injury. Highly recommend.

We just saw Dr Geller today and he we amazing.
My daughter“s injury was taken care of and she walked out with her boot which she loved.
It beats walking with crutches.
The office staff is very friendly.
I definitely would recommend him.

I saw Dr Geller for a foot injury that popped up for no apparent reason. He diagnosed it really quickly and provided lots of information as to why it happened, as well as answer all my questions thoroughly. He didn’t try to over medicate or provide anything unnecessary, just simple advice on how to fix it and take care of it so it doesn’t happen again.

Dr. Geller is incredible. I have had foot issues for quite some time and Dr. Geller has provided a reasonable yet comprehensive approach that has yielded a ton of improvement. This guy really knows his stuff and his office and staff are fantastic as well. Highly recommend.

Having a long history of complicated foot issues, I have to say, Dr. Geller is quite simply superb. His treatment of my Achilles tendonosis was cutting edge (utilizing my own blood platelets for healing) and probably avoided a surgery. I’ve had many cortisone shots with other doctors and never has any done it as sensitively and painlessly as Dr. Geller. He is a consummate professional, on time, respectful, and informative every step of the way, and just a real pleasant person to boot (pardon the puns!)

I went to see Dr. Geller after 1 year of very painful foot pain. Thinking it was due to my senior citizen status I wasn’t expecting much. After two visits and a great pair of orthotics I am happy to say I am pain free. I also have to thank his office staff for making this experience so easy to navigate. The ability to fill out the medical forms online is priceless.

I had never been to Dr. Geller before this past Friday; I had to take my son in for a painful ingrown toenail. I was able to get a same day appointment. Both my son and I had a positive experience with both Doctor Geller and his staff. They are all friendly and professional. Doctor Geller was right on time, and he was welcoming, humorous and patient. What I appreciated the most about him was that he explained to my son every procedure before and while it was taking place as well as his patience to answer all the questions my son had. After the procedure to remove the ingrown toenail was over, he encouraged us to call him or e-​mail him over the weekend if we had any questions or concerns; he assured us we would not be bothering him. He also called me later in the day to check in on how my son was doing/​feeling. His staff was pleasant over the phone when I had called to schedule an appointment and they were pleasant and professional during our office visit. After our visit, my son said Doctor Geller was the awesomest foot doctor ever! Now, 2 days after the procedure, my son is healing up nicely and there haven’t been any complications.

I was having some plantar fasciitis and I was recommended by my team and training coach to get out Dr Gellar. I had a marathon scheduled and I wanted to make sure I was able to run it. I made an appointment and showed up on time. I was seen right away and he check out my foot. He recommend some treatments and I went with Shockwave therapy. I ended up doing 5 different sessions and after each one I felt so much better. I ended up doing my marathon with minimal pain. I glad I decided to go. I highly recommend him. He is a fellow runner so he knows about the pain we deal with.

Dr. Geller is the best podiatrist I have ever been to!!! I am flat-​footed and have had several issues over the years so I have been to many. Not only was he compassionate, but he took a lot of time to explain the problem and the possible solutions. He also squeezed me in last minute and waited after hours. His staff was more than pleasant and accommodating and followed up immediately as promised for a timely manner. I highly recommend them, you’ll be glad you went!

Dr Dan is not only personable he really takes time with you and finds a solution to your issues. He is very knowledgable with anything from the smallest issue to any surgical procedures. I went to a podiatrist once before and I can’t believe what a difference in care Dr Dan offered. Plus he’s from NYC so he knows his feet! If you have any issues at all with your feet he is the only Dr. I would go to, I will refer him to everyone. He’s the sweetest!!!

Hands down, the best doctor I have ever worked with! I’ve been seeing Dr. Geller for the last ten years in both New York and Los Angeles for minor foot issues here and there, but as one issue became more serious over the last year, I really got to see him in his element!
Incredibly thorough and patient, Dr. Geller is far from pushy when it comes to surgery, as many doctors can be. Unlike others I have seen who dismiss pains and ailments they cannot see or understand, Dr. Geller never made me feel that the excruciating pain in my foot was an illegitimate concern (even though the cause was not showing up in most of the initial tests).
Conservative in his approach, he explored a vast array of options for me to pursue before heading down the surgical path, and his lighthearted bedside manner and exceptional availability really helped to calm my fears when we realized I would have to finally go under the knife! And, when my insurance was not accepted with his usual partners, he made sure he found a fantastic center that would provide financial coverage, and would give me excellent care! I don’t know anyone else who offers that level of client care.
It’s been 3 days since I’ve had my surgery, and I am already 90% pain free! Results like that don’t lie!
Honestly, I cannot say enough about Dr. Geller and his team! Lexi is amazing about making sure you get in to see him when you need to, and even follows up to see how you are after procedures! I wish all of my medical experiences were this great! They go above and beyond your typical experience, and I would highly recommend anyone looking for the best to head to their offices!

Dr. Daniel Geller is an awesome surgeon and has a great bedside manner. After 30 hours of travel time from our vacation in Bali, we did research on Podiatrists, as soon as we got home, and found Dr. Geller. 30 minutes later we were in his office and scheduled for surgery within 3 days. After my surgery he made himself available after hours and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great Podiatrist.

Dr. Geller is simply the best specialist you could hope to find if you are an athlete and have issues with your feet, but beyond that how it is all connected. I went in with a ton of foot pain and thought I was going to be living with this for the rest of my life. He was incredibly generous with his time and explaining what was going on and the options. In short, his analysis was spot on and the improvement is nothing short of miraculous. I’ve seen plenty of specialists over the years and nine times out of ten they treat the specific limb and fail to even recognize there is a person attached to it. Not so with Dr. Geller. He is one of the few professionals that sees the person connected to the flesh and bone. Can’t say enough good things. And I would be remiss if I failed to mention how great Michelle and Lexi are and how on it they are.

Dr Dan Geller is truly the best of the best. Not only is he the most patient and caring doctor I’ve ever met, his skill set is perfection. As a very active person I was extremely nervous at first, however after being under the care and treatment of Dr. Geller I’ve never felt better. I’m better now than ever before.

Dr. Geller is not just a specialist, but he’s also a runner. So let’s start with that.
Their website has all the paperwork online, so you don’t have to sit in the lobby filling it out. They use a scheduling website, which is clever and useful. The staff at the front desk are friendly and helpful.
Dr. Geller really knows his stuff. On top of that, he has a great personality. He listens. He knows what questions to ask. He knows how to poke and flex and probe things, and in my case, his diagnosis was spot-​on. The specialist he recommended is great, which is very important.
I don’t trust most doctors. I trust Dr. Geller.
Also — did I mention they have FREE PARKING in Santa Monica! Who does that?
