5 Best Chiropodists in Los Angeles (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

An ingrown toenail or a stabbing heel pain rarely waits for a convenient week, and finding a chiropodist in Los Angeles who can see you fast matters as much as the diagnosis itself. The practices below carry over 2,000 Google reviews between them, and four of them sit at 4.9, so patients here are choosing mostly on location and specialty rather than quality.

Short answer: The Sunset Foot Clinic leads on volume with 4.9 stars across 1,064 reviews and multiple LA-area locations. Dr. Kourosh Harounian, KINGSPOINT Foot and Ankle Specialists, and Los Feliz Foot and Ankle all match that 4.9 rating with smaller but still substantial review bases, while Los Angeles Orthopaedic Center rounds out the list at 4.7 with a broader orthopedic surgery practice.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated them, ranked against other Los Angeles chiropodists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from over a thousand patients carries more weight than the same score from a couple hundred. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a chiropodist visit cost in Los Angeles?

Chiropodist and podiatrist visit costs depend heavily on insurance coverage, whether the visit is a consultation or a procedure, and the complexity of the issue being treated. None of the practices above publish a general fee schedule we can cite directly here, so ask each office for its current pricing and confirm what your insurance plan covers before booking.

Serving all of Los Angeles

The chiropodists above cover a wide stretch of the LA area, including Silver Lake, Downtown Los Angeles, Los Feliz, South Los Angeles, and Sherman Oaks. Searching for a chiropodist near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can reach the closest option.

What to ask before you book a chiropodist

  • Do you accept my insurance, and what is covered versus out of pocket?
  • Is this a same-day appointment or does it need to be scheduled further out?
  • Do you treat diabetic foot care or other chronic conditions I have?
  • What does the numbing or anesthesia process involve for procedures?
  • What is the expected recovery time for the procedure you’re recommending?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these chiropodists?

We started from every podiatrist and chiropodist in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Is a chiropodist the same as a podiatrist?

Yes, in the United States ‘chiropodist’ is an older term that generally refers to what is now called a podiatrist, a specialist in foot and ankle care.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropodist in Los Angeles?

Not always. Many patients book directly for common issues like ingrown toenails or heel pain, though some insurance plans require a referral from a primary care doctor for coverage.

The bottom line

The Sunset Foot Clinic is the safe default given its review volume and multiple locations across LA, while Dr. Kourosh Harounian stands out if a gentle touch on a dreaded procedure is what you need most. Confirm insurance coverage before booking either way.
