Los Angeles Foot & Ankle Care
Conditions & Treatments
Most foot pain has a clear cause and a straightforward fix. Some of it needs a surgeon. Dr. Pegah Panirian treats both, from the bunion that has started catching in your shoes to the revision case another surgeon has already turned down.
- You see Dr. Panirian at every visit, from diagnosis through recovery
- Conservative treatment first wherever it is a realistic option
- Two Los Angeles offices, in Beverly Hills and Westchester

Not sure what you have?
Most people know where it hurts, not what it is called. Choose whichever sounds closest and see the conditions that commonly cause it.
This is not a diagnosis. Several conditions cause the same symptom, and some serious problems present exactly like minor ones. Only an in-person examination by Dr. Panirian can tell them apart.
Nothing here matching what you feel? Send the form describing it in your own words, or call (310) 388-9814.

Learn moreWhat happens after you get in touch
Three steps, with no obligation to book surgery at any point.
Get in touch
Send the form or call the office. Describe the symptom in your own words, that is all we need to book you in.
Get an accurate diagnosis
Dr. Panirian examines the foot, reviews imaging where it is needed, and tells you exactly what is causing the problem.
Choose your treatment path
You get the realistic options, surgical and non surgical, with the recovery time for each, so the decision is yours to make.
The Feet Institute is a boutique podiatry practice in Los Angeles led by Dr. Pegah Panirian. You are seen by the surgeon who will treat you, and she follows the case from first assessment through to recovery.
That matters most for the problems that are commonly mishandled: a bunion corrected with the wrong procedure for its severity, heel pain treated as one diagnosis when it is several, or a diabetic wound that needed specialist input weeks before it got any.
- Board certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine
- ABFAS board qualified in foot and ankle surgery
- Surgical privileges at Cedars-Sinai, Cedars-Sinai Marina, Providence Saint John's, and Specialty Surgical Center of Beverly Hills
- Most PPO plans and cash pay accepted. HMO and Medi-Cal are not currently contracted
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No. You can book directly with The Feet Institute. If your insurance plan requires a referral for specialist care, check with your plan first, and we can help you understand what your plan needs.
Will I definitely need surgery?
No. Most conditions here are treated without surgery first. Surgery is recommended when conservative care has been given a fair trial, or when the structure of the foot means non surgical care will not hold. You will be told which category you are in, and why.
Which insurance plans do you accept?
We accept most PPO plans and cash pay patients. We are not currently contracted with HMO plans or Medi-Cal. If you are unsure about your plan, ask when you get in touch and we will confirm before your visit.
How quickly can I be seen?
Most new patients are offered an appointment within a few days. If you have diabetes and an open wound, infection, or signs of a spreading infection, say so when you contact us so your visit can be prioritised.
Where are you located?
