J Braxton Little, DPM

I’ve been there twice & had the same basic experience as others. The doc is okay, but the staff are somewhat rude & incompetent. The wait times weren’t too bad though… about 15 minutes.

I love Dr. Little!
He has done a neuroma removal and ankle reconstruction, and I am healing nicely. I am glad he is not in the Palisades because I live close to his new office on Santa Monica Blvd. The office he is in is next door to my primary care physician, and they work well together to coordinate things. Dr. Little’s assistant, Derrick is also wonderful! Whenever I call with a question Derrick has been professional and very helpful. I hope I don’t need any more foot/​ankle procedures, but if I do — I will only see Dr. Little!

So apparently he moved offices rather suddenly. I think there must have been an issue him. I had orthodox molds made a month ago. Was supposed to get a notification in 10 business days to go pick them up. Somehow all my info and molds got lost in the transition (2 blocks away). The receptionist actually just «uhg“ed me and said «I don’t want to look for them, I’ll have someone call you back.»
Cool.

I had a very negative experience with Dr. Little. When I first met him, I thought he seemed like a super nice, easy-​going guy. Very friendly and easy to relate to. I went to him months ago for a minor office procedure that ended up leaving me in WAY more pain than I was in to start with. When I shared with Dr. Little that I have been in constant pain for the last few months since his procedure… he blew me off… said my foot was fine — and didn’t seem interested in helping me figure out what could be causing such pain. Totally disregarded everything I shared about what I was experiencing… and seemed to just want me out of his office. If you want a doctor who is committed to helping you… even when he’s a bit confused as to why you might be experiencing pain — this isn’t your guy.

Worst doctor experience. Long wait in small, crowded waiting room. The nurse just kept barging in and out of the room without knocking. When it was time for X-​rays the tech was so incompetent she didn’t even tell me when she was taking the image so of course I moved and she had to take it again. There was no paper down on the bed and none of the office felt clean or sanitary. Then the doctor tells me my foot is fractured and after about 10 minutes of going over the X-​ray and getting fitted for a cast he realizes that he had the wrong patients X-​ray! Not even my broken foot! Good thing I wasn’t scheduled for surgery!

Going to Dr. Little is like visiting a friend. He makes you feel completely at ease. Is a professional and a family man and can relate to you as a person. When you speak to him he looks you in the eye. I have been a patient for approximately 1 ½ years now and can’t say enough nice things about this doctor.

Not impressed with this guy. I had some ligament damage from a beach volleyball injury. He charged my insurance company $ 300 for every LONG visit which took less than 10 minutes. He did an xray, mri, 2 cortisone shots and an orthotic with no improvement. I asked him 3 times if I should do PT and he said no. He recommended acupuncture. I paid on my own for acupuncture with no improvement. I finally went to a friend who is a PT and he simply taped the foot for 2 weeks and I had great improvement. I’m doing PT and it’s working out great. I would not recommend Dr. Little at all! He is what is wrong with healthcare today.

I needed a referral for a Podiatrist and my regular doctor referred me to Dr. Little. Upon arriving the staff was very friendly, and I only waited at the most 15 minutes. Dr. Little’s assistant received me and helped me with a smile. I needed an x-​ray and the x-​ray tech was also very helpful and friendly. I waited about 20 minutes in the room, but I knew that the x-​ray tech had to get the x-​ray ready and the doctor had to review it, so it would take a few minutes. When Dr. Little arrived he too was also very friendly and knowledgeable. He explained my situation and it was a no brainer, I needed surgery to repair my Achilles Tendon. At the pre-​op appointment, I received the same treatment, as well as all my instructions, approvals, etc. for anything and everything I needed after my surgery (which would be a week later). The day of my surgery went like a breeze. Since I am employed, I applied for Disability Ins., the very nice lady who handles that was also very attentive and helped me submit my application the same day I completed it on-​line. I would refer Dr. Little anytime. Thank you Dr. Little and Staff!

Not sure where to begin…
My daughter had an appointment 2 weeks ago, when I called to check to see if Dr Little was running on time the office said «yes he is» I said «be there in 15 min for her appointment»
1 ½ hours later the Dr finally came in hands up with no apology saying «sorry first day back after spring break» I let it go and continued with the 10 min appt. to fit her for her $ 500 orthodox
Today went to pick up the orthopedics and asked the same question when I arrived. The office «yes again» 1 hour later Dr Little came to watch my daughter take 2 steps in her new $ 500 orthodox. Never once apologizing for his lateness or even addressing the issue
I will not only never be going back to the practice but could not believe how entitled he thought he was. As if he is the only game in town. SHOCKING and PATHETIC

Dr. Little is friendly and competent as is his staff.

Had to deal with Dr. Braxton’s scheduler recently, and that was also unpleasant. What’s with all of these perfectly nice doctors and their awful, hateful, nasty staff? I’ll take my business elsewhere. I’l lpay a good doctor, but not his or her ghetto admins.

I love Dr. Little! He is so nice and immediately makes you feel comfortable. Plus his new office on Wilshire is so much more efficient than the Palisades office. Dr. Little get TWO thumbs up! Or maybe TWO big toes up!
!!!OK I had to edit this review!!! I had given Dr. Little 5 stars but I had a cast done on my foot for inserts and I was very disappointed with the service. I had told Dr. Little that I was moving out of town in three weeks and needed my inserts before I go. He assured me that the process only takes about two weeks, so I will have them before I go!
Well after about a week and a half I called the Dr. Office to make sure that everything was running on time and they said that they had not heard back from my insurance. So when I called my insurance Co., they let me know that Dr. Little’s office did not file my claim until 4 days after my initial appointment.
When I called Dr. Little’s office back, and they said that they could expedite my inserts for $ 100 extra! Not cool!!!
