Be very careful wtih this Doctor. I was having significant foot pain as result of an injury decades ago. I was so desperate, I was willing to listen to anyone that said they could help. The doctor misdiagnosed my ankle which was verified by MRI. However, he was very convincing he could help. Long story short, I proceeded with lateral ligament surgery. Fast forward a year, I am having significant pain still. I went back to this doctor and immediately without any MRI, "I know the problem, your suture from your previous surgery fell out, we need to do another ligament repair, this one will last till you die." Haha joke is on me.
This doctor also has a past of unethical and illegal practice. Just look it up. I would unequivocally recommend that you seek anybody else's professional advice when it comes to your feet; his only interest is collecting off of your insurance. I regret ever meeting him or having him touch my foot.

Dr.Joseph Robert and his staff are truly amazing!! They are super friendly and welcoming.
Three years ago he operated my left toe. I had many ingrown nail’s but he worked his magic and fixed the problem. Since the surgery three years ago, I haven’t had a single ingrown nail.
I then recently went to him a second time to fix the same problem on my right toe and once again….he didn’t disappoint me.
Anyone who is seeking a podiatrist, please contact Dr. J. He is truly the best in OC. Thank you Dr. J and his staff for everything!!!!

I'd be very careful going to Dr. Joseph. He is very surgery happy! I went in for your basic plantar fasciitis injury and was immediately "diagnosed" with damaged tendons in my ankle. This doctor stated that the tendons were why I was walking and favoring the side of my foot. It didn't occur to him that I favored the side of my foot because of the pain from the plantar fasciitis! I went and saw another podiatrist who prescribed conservative and straightforward treatment that has solved my problem. He didn't even have the equipment needed because he "ran out" that day and told me to buy a brace on Amazon. Seriously?
This guy is a HUGE waste of time and money. He comes off as God's gift to medicine but is short on using the scientific method in his ridiculously wrong diagnoses. He also tries to pedal his farmed-out CBD oils and seems more interested in collecting a check than actually practicing healing. People like him give good doctors a lousy reputation; what a shame. Finally, the office shown here isn't even his actual office. He's a nomad doctor that roams cities for money. I should have looked at reviews where he practices. His office also up-charges when you get your bill via a service fee he passes on to his customers. I'd give no stars if I could. I've replaced this clown with a far more reputable doctor that helped solve my foot issue.
