Altchuler L Daniel, DPM

My experience with podiatrists is limited I’ll admit, but Dr. Dan was great and my feet are better for it.
From the moment I walked in to the waiting room to the end of my appointment I was treated like a guest. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. They take my insurance which is a plus and the ladies in the front were so sweet!
Thanks Dr. Dan!

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Dan and his staff for many many years. We have had nothing but wonderful service and treated with the utmost respect and care. They have outfitted me with all my orthodic needs for over 10 years and saved my knees. On our most recent visit they tweaked my newest orthodics and they feel great. Also they always have their working dogs there… which is a big plus as my wife and I are huge animal lovers. Kudos to Dr, Dan and his entire staff… always friendly caring and respectful. Not the usual stuffy West Side Dr’s experience… Very real and down to earth!

I was referred to Dr. Dan by a friend and love going to his office. The office is located on 15^th off Wishire across from the UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica. He is on the 10^th floor of a large medical building. There is a covered parking garage attached to the building but the rates are pretty pricey so I park in the city lot that you can enter on 14^th street just behind the building and walk the short distance over. Well worth it for $ 1.00 per hour!
The receptionist is always courteous and friendly. She is great at explaining bills and calling to remind you of appointments. If you don’t like dogs, you probably will not like this office. Dr. Dan and his wife train and show multiple dogs who just hang around the office area. I personally love seeing them and they occasionally might come up to me if I beg them, but they really are quiet and well behaved and stay pretty much out of the way. I always love seeing them!
Dr. Dan is really knowledgeable and friendly. He has a very laid back attitude and likes to spend time chatting with his patients. Never seems to be in a hurry at all. He watched my gait as I walked and let me know why I was having pain in my hips and knees as my feet twist a little when I walk. I had orthotics made for me at the office and asked him about them. He didn’t push it at all. I like the no hard sell kind of feel that I get there. Dr. Dan is really great about trying to save you money where he can as well. I needed a product that he could have ordered for me but said it is expensive and directed me to a product that I could use in place of that. Again, he could have ordered it for me and charged me whatever but said I could get it cheaper elsewhere. Nice to feel like he is looking out for my best interest! The orthotics fit great and he has had me back in to check them twice before the warranty expires so I could have them replaced if need be.
I will definitely be back and would highly recommend Dr. Dan to anyone needing to find a great podiatrist in the area.
