Edmond Lee, DPM

I believe that my intermittent pain from my right foot caused my torn meniscus. I should have addressed the ankle pain before it escalated to me now having a painful knee. I chose Dr. lee based upon his wonderful Yelp reviews.

I was highly impressed with how he told me that he'd like to see an x-ray of my ankle. He referred me to a radiology clinic on the day of my appointment. On that same day, I was able to be seen by the radiology clinic. He also suggested for me to ask them for the disc with my x-ray, and to return to his clinic.

This is the first time that I was able to see a doctor twice within the same day of an appointment. Usually, the doctor prescribes an x-ray, and then I need to make an appointment for an x-ray. Afterward, I have to make another appointment with the doctor regarding the results of my x-ray.

I told my husband about my discussions with Dr. Lee. I immediately purchased a pair of Oofos sandals, per the doctor's suggestion. I even purchased a pair of Oofos shoes. I now have less pain in my injured knee. I also chose to be fitted for inserts, because I wanted to be able to wear the shoes that I already have. My husband purchased numerous orthotic shoes and no longer has his knee and back pain. He highly praises Dr. Lee as being a miracle worker.

Oofos needs to send Dr. Lee all the different sizes of sandals so that his patients would be able to feel what they truly feel like. When Dr. Lee had me try on a huge size of Oofos sandals, I thought to myself that my Fitflops felt better. It would have been nice if Dr. Lee had a referral link to Oofos, then I would have received 15% off my first Oofos purchase. The following is my referral link if you intend to purchase Oofos sandals or shoes. Shop through my link to receive a 15% off reward http://rwrd.io/lcx0u1t?s

After wearing my Oofos sandal and shoe, I have purchased two more Oofos sandals and another pair of Oofos shoes. It is nice that they give a 30 day money back guarantee, because I was going to return my shoes, because they didn't have n it in a half size larger, but I realized that after walking around in them they were an ok fit.

If I could give more stars for Dr. Lee I would. My husband was walking hunched over, because of his back pain. It is wonderful to hear how happy my husband is with his painless knee and back. Happy hubby = Happy wifey!

This Place Podiatrist or Foot Doctor's
Office, The Receptionist was Very
Professional The Quality of Care was perfect...

I often use Yelp reviews for reference when looking for new places to try but as a quick look at my profile will show, I rarely leave reviews myself. In this case I feel it's only fair to share my positive experience with Dr Lee. Before this appointment I had never had a more constructive, information-packed doctor's visit in my life. Within minutes after seeing my feet, observations and diagnoses came tumbling forth so quickly I could hardly keep up. Mind you, my visit was for laser treatment and so the intended focus would be expected to be rather narrow in that regard, but the observations and recommendations the doctor made touched on related problems that went far beyond the scope of this treatment. I left very impressed and remain so.
I would not hesitate to visit Dr Lee again and would recommend him highly to anyone and in fact plan on doing so.

Dr. Lee is knowledgeable and patient but most importantly painless and efficient! His staff is professional, organized, kind and patient with the elderly. I am happy he is my 100 year old mom's podiatrist.

Parking is a little challenging during peak hours but I would still go there because of the great service.

This is my review of Dr. Lee's Arcadia office staff. I called and booked an appointment over the phone. I confirmed the appointment via their text messages a few times before the appointment. When I showed up for the appointment on a triple-digit hot day, I was told that the authorization expired and I could not see Dr. Lee that day. The staff insisted that they called me four times. I checked my calling records and did not see four calls from the office, only one missed phone call on the day of the appointment. I was upset that the staff did not respect patient's time and lied about calling patients multiple times. I showed my phone's calling records and questioned why I received multiple text messages of confirming the appointment but was turned away when I got there. Staff attitude and reply were not pleasant at all.

I went back and forth as to whether to write this review but ultimately decided people should know:
1) please check your bill and make sure you agree to all the charges (I went in for an initial consultation and was charged for something that was not identified to me as part of the treatment)
2) the front office staff was incredibly rude and tried to argue with me about who was right/wrong, even though she wasn't even THERE. the doctor had already agreed to drop the additional charge and I was calling to pay the balance, so I'm not really sure why she felt the need to get into an argument with me on the phone

Dr. Lee is very patient and professional. Address all your questions and concerns. The office staff are courteous and they answer the phone in a timely manner.

The first doctor that actually made me feel comfortable in my skin, made me laugh and told exactly what needed to be done, no sugar coating.

So I came in today for a nail infection skin removal type deal n this man was super professional! Kind, courteous with an awesome personality :) I highly recommend him

"Narrow Ankles, Wide Feet, High Arches, A Gray Big toe with Fungus, and toes pointed in".... I guess I had to trade in my facial, chest, and side burns for something.. At least no one could really see my losings from the genetic lottery that is my FEET.

Before a few weeks ago, I like a lot of you, had absolutely no idea what the hell a Podiatrist was let alone knew that there was a speciality for such a thing. However, rest assure the only "Foot Doctor", I'd go to is Edmond Lee...

*I actually found Edmond Lee on Yelp because probably like a lot of you a foot doctor isn't the most common Doctor you search for unless you suffer from Bunions and Hammer toes. (WHAT THE HELL IS A HAMMER TOE?! I still have no idea)

Location: It's in the heart of Chinatown just above a residential area.

Parking: You can park in the lot for cheap (Make sure you get a validation) or park on the street. (Read the signs accordingly.)

Front office/Staff: Friendly. The receptionist checking me in was quite knowledgable and got me in and out of the office pretty quickly.

*Edmond Lee: Given the location and speciality, I thought the doctor was probably some 90 year old Chinese geezer who spoke little to no English but I couldn't be further off from reality. A really cool ABC (American Born Chinese) who speaks fluent English and was cracking jokes and gave me a great analysis of the problem and that I need to switch up my shoes too.Lastly, great and Pleasant bed manner as well.

** The reason of why I came in was for foot fungus on my toenail. IM SEXY AND I KNOW IT. I've actually had it for a few years from living in Asia and didn't think much of it cause it doesn't hurt but it just cosmetically looks ugly... The only people I know who actually have it are like my dad's generation.. So I was thinkin' to myself? Why should I suffer with this thing at the tender age of ___??

** Since the procedure is cosmetic, insurance won't cover it. *Womp Womp*. The procedure itself is $150 for the 1st nail and $100 for the 2nd subsequent nail. $150 for my big toe to look as pretty as it's twin on my left foot?!?! I thought about it long and hard and figured What the hell.... In the end, I ended up paying $125 out the door but I couldn't be happier with the results.

*Treatment* (3 Types of treatments)

1. Laser: The most effective treatment. It's essentially a 7 min process which consists of him zeroing in a James Bond Vilian like laser on your infected area and heats it up like a Frozen Burrito to about 107 degrees. FYI. The Laser gets FREAKING HOT. I have an extremely high pain tolerance. However, if you're not too keen on pain or even isolated pain in a certain area you've been warned. Dr. Lee essentially zero ins his laser on the toe nail and eradicating the fungus. You shouldn't feel any residual pain afterwards but I remember touching the nail about 20 mins afterwards and still remember feeling the heat on it. Afterwards, you should be able to grow the nail back to it's proper form. In the meantime, he recommended supplementary treatment such as the pill and creme.

2. Pills: Once a day for 7 days. However, it will affect your liver. (It jump starts the process internally)

3. Creme: Apply Twice daily. Been doing this every night and I think my nail is almost back to it's cute self.

*If you're Asian, you're probably not too keen on taking the pills which will affect your liver.... I opted to go for the Laser treatment and I went down to Pharmacy to get my prescription filled for the creme and the pills. Out of pocket cost for both was only $85 total. Quite a steal considering they give you a big ass tube of creme for your fungus.

**If you decided on treatment, definitely mention the Yelp deal and get a $25 discount. Pretty happy with the results and I think you'll be too.

**It's been a week now and it looks pretty much almost back to normal. I'll have to take a follow up photo at the follow-up consultation but super excited that my big Toe is lookin' PRETTY AGAIN!

Thanks Doc

Happy Trails,
