From the moment I walked into the office and was met with a beautiful, airy fresh space with contemporary music playing & a pleasant receptionist, I was out more at ease about my app’t. I was apprehensive because I was dropping iShow moren for a consult for ingrown toenail removal. The intake q&a with Luis up to meeting Dr. Brems was great! Dr. Brems was awesome & got me completely relaxed for the procedure she ended up doing on the spot. It’s very rare I wouldn’t go home to think about a consult before jumping to a procedure and that’s due to Dr. Brems excellent bedside manner, super calm demeanor & what seemed like a gentle touch before the lidocaine kicked in. I am 1000% satisfied and will be retuning to this practice for all my future podiatry care.

She takes the time to explain your condition while viewing the x-rays with you, including answering questions aShow morend letting you know what options are available. She has excellent follow up.

Emily Chau is on Maternity leave so I saw Dr. Lebada. He was amazing and understanding to any and all questions that I had.
Dr. Brems was extremely kind and very informative. She took her time explaining everything and what needed to be done to correct my plantar fasciitis. Louis who is a medical assistant was also extremely helpful
Very knowledgeable professional. Every Question we had was answered and followed up with a recommendation. Easy to make /change appointments. Highly recommend. Thank you
This was a one-time appointment for me while I was visiting in LA. I have not been able to see a podiatrist nor an orthopedist before 2025 where I normally live. (Anchorage, Alaska) Dr. Brems was very pleasant and personable. I actually spent more time with her medical assistant than herself, who was also very pleasant. I have had a chronic foot issue for ~6 months and I wanted a second opinion about my foot issues. I had brought a one-page history of my issues to discuss; however, she did not use that history to explore possible causes. (Her medical assistant was "entering it into the chart.") Her exam was decent, but not as comprehensive as some subsequent exams I have had since returning home to Alaska. She did give me the first application of shock therapy to my foot, which was something that I was hoping to have in Anchorage. Her discussion of that therapy was very good and the procedure done by her medical assistant was excellent.
Dr Brems explained everything very well and was very confident. Great job.
Dr. Brem exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism in medicine. Her unwavering patience, meticulous attention to detail, and profound understanding create a truly exceptional experience. She asks thoughtful questions and constantly asked me if I had any questions, which fostered a sense of clarity that is invaluable in healthcare. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding care for foot and ankle issues. Her staff is so nice and so professional. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Chau was kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I felt she listened to me and took my concerns seriously. She demonstrated empathy when something I needed wasn’t covered by my insurance and suggested lower cost alternatives. I’m very satisfied with her care.
