Meet Dr. Panirian

Pegah Panirian, DPM

Dr. Pegah Panirian graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology. Before entering podiatric medical school, she spent several years working and volunteering in podiatry: experience that confirmed both the field she wanted to pursue and the kind of physician she wanted to become.

She completed a surgical residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in a program accredited in forefoot and rearfoot/ankle surgery and served as chief resident in her final year. Today, she is board certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine, board qualified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, and a teaching attending at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Her service experience during school and residency included volunteering at the Napa Valley Marathon and Telemundo Health Fairs.

Dr. Panirian is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital and Providence Saint John’s Health Center. She remains current with evolving techniques through continued education, including training in minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery.

She is also affiliated with Specialty Surgical Center of Beverly Hills, a modern surgical facility.

Her approach starts with conservative treatment when effective options are available. When surgery is appropriate, she develops a plan around the diagnosis, the demands of daily life and the patient’s goals. In wound care and limb-salvage cases, she works to preserve the limb whenever medically safe and feasible, with amputation considered a last resort.

Dr. Panirian speaks English, Spanish and Farsi.

Outside of practice, Dr. Panirian enjoys a slower pace of life and meaningful time with family and friends. She loves traveling, experiencing new cultures and discovering a great coffee shop, and she values quiet time at home and the simple moments shared with the people she loves.
