We are grateful that you chose Yuko Miyazaki to tend to your foot and ankle concerns. We'd appreciate if you would consider taking a few moments to write a review of our practice. By sharing your experience, you can help our business identify the areas where we excel while also giving us the opportunity to improve the areas where we may fall short.
Thank you so much for choosing to take care of your feet and ankles with us. Your feet are the foundation on which the rest of your body stands. When they are in pain, the rest of you struggles as well. Feet and ankles work so hard, but can be easy to take for granted and forget about. Investing in your lower limb health is a step in the right direction to help you stay comfortably on your feet for your whole life.
When your foot is in pain and you need help, you don't want to think about how to pay for the treatment you receive. As long as our current health insurance system is in place, however, it is something you need to pay attention to or you may have to cover the expense completely on your own. We want to share how our office works with insurance companies for your services to be covered.
Dr. Yuko Miyazaki provides comprehensive foot care services for patients from across the entire San Francisco Bay area (and beyond!). For every patient who comes into her office, Dr. Miyazaki takes the time to understand the nature of the problem and symptoms it is causing. From there, she is able to create a treatment plan to properly address it.
Dr. Yuko Miyazaki is always happy to provide professional foot care to help you overcome any pain or impaired function you are experiencing. There are times, though, when you can use home treatment for foot issues. In some cases, this might be a matter of providing first aid until you can come in for treatment at our Berkeley, CA office.

The friendliest doctor I have ever been to. A true pleasure, from her patient and kind front desk worker, to the nurse assistant. I am pretty scared of doctors, and she has the best bedside manner -- I can think of one other doctor I've been to who has been so wonderful. She obviously inspires a cohesive and kind medical office which is very unique.

I just saw Dr. Miyazaki yesterday when she fit me in on short notice, and she and her staff were wonderful! Kind, caring, and skillful. I'm chemically sensitive (from the toxic products that most people use) and she was very aware of this health risk and agreed about the harm and she and her office is as safe as could be expected. I'm spreading the word on lists for people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
The first thing she did was check my pulses. Then she asked if it was okay before giving me local anesthetic and alcohol on the wound, which I greatly appreciated. Then she expertly

I had a toe infection through ingrown toenail and Dr. Miyazaki examined me even though it was after hours for her. Other locations would have made me wait two weeks, but she saw me the day of.
She explained very well about my infection and what types of treatments were available for me. I would definitely see her again.

This is the second podiatrist I saw for a very sore left pinky toe. Dr Miyazaki examined the toe & said I had Raymaud syndrome, even though only one toe & no fingers were involved. Also it's summer time. The doctor needed to ask me to see my PCP, or ask me to get an ex-ray. This was many months ago. I have been in much pain for over 9 months. I rec'd an ex-ray today. I have a broken toe. I will have to have the toe taped to the toe next to it with a splint, plus a boot for several weeks. If I'd had the ex-ray months ago, I could have avoided all this pain &

Dr. Miyazaki has cared for my 94 year old mother for several years. She was very nice and did a fine job until our last visit. She decided to cut off the callous on the top of my mother's second toe, which had become a hammer toe and was rubbing on the top of her shoe. She offered no antibiotics. We modified my mother's shoes so there was no more rubbing. We have no idea why she decided to remove the callous in the first place, didn't consider the risk of infection in a 94 year old woman's foot, and offered no short-term follow up. The toe became infected, which cleared

Dr. Miyazaki is amazing!
My son hurt his foot while in the Peace Corp in the Dominican Republic just before the holidays. He came home to visit us, so I wanted to get a second opinion while he is here.
Dr. Miyazaki found a fracture the previous doctors had missed.
She made herself available by phone Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for phone consultations and ever referred us to her colleague, Dr. Jon Seslar for a third opinion as to what should be done. She was on holiday vacation all through this process.
This level of service all for less than $150. You don't get this kind of service

I could not be more happy with the entire staff in Dr. Miyazaki's office. My Cal son had to have a very painful and stubborn ingrown toenail dealt with and the receptionist was so caring and worked hard to find a place for him in the schedule so that my son wouldn't have to miss classes. I told her that he is a gentle soul and would probably be scared, and she said not to worry. Well, she was right! He had an amazing experience and was in and out of there in about 30 minutes, including filling out the paperwork!! And now he has a foot doctor in the area for life. Thank you to everyone

I came to Dr. Miyazaki through a referral by a good friend. I've seen other podiatrists and they will quickly write you off and suggest an orthotic. I always had foot pain especially when sprinting and intense jumping (playing basketball). To make things worse it looked like I was developing a bunion. After my initial visit with Dr. Miyazki she pin pointed what was causing my pain and explained how it got to the current state. It turns out that I had a slight fracture in my sesamoid bone coupled with a bunion. My foot doesn't bug me enough to get surgery (yet). I eventually caved and

Dr. Yuko is super nice and is very competent. Most importantly, I was in and out of her office within less then 20-30 minutes. She didn't have me waiting around but the time she spent was really relevant to my conditions and I didn't even think about that as part of my annual check up. So she really added a lot of value to my visit which was just to check on some callouses on my feet and how to deal with them. It was reassuring to know my feet are in very good shape otherwise. She was very comprehensive in her prognosis, and I left very satisfied with her as one of my providers

I've seen her several times at another facility and she's the best podiatrist I've ever been to. She explained everything clearly, did an excellent job, suggested some toenail polish that doesn't have harmful chemicals in it, helped rid me of big toe fungus & plantar warts, and I'd go back to her in a heartbeat. She's careful, thoughtful, efficient, kind. No downsides ever to any appointment I've been to. Unequivocally recommend her.

Attentive and good listener, knowledgeable and resourceful. I like how the office has a digital X-ray machine which Dr. Miyazaki operates herself--no waiting for a tech or outside service. The office is located in a professional building across the street from the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, on the first floor and entirely wheelchair accessible. Prices are listed on the website, their billing can be a little slow due to the circuitous nature of insurance. The office accepts Medicare, most PPOs--they're not an HMO contractor and not a worker's comp practice.

Dr. Miyazaki was recommended to me by Dr. Ted Tanaka when I was searching for a podiatrist who would take my Covered California insurance plan. I found Dr. Miyazaki to be extremely pleasant and very bright, and most importantly, she was willing to take the time to discuss my foot problem in detail with me. I had an unusual problem with my foot, and she was able to diagnose it, and treat it. I am thrilled that I found Dr. Miyazaki, and I highly recommend her to anyone with insurance through Covered California.

Less than five months after surgery, I climbed to the top of a 9,273 foot mountain. 3.5 miles one way with 2700 foot elevation climb, in 8 inches of freshly fallen snow. We were the only people on the mountain all day. Best hike ever, and my surgically repaired foot felt better at the end than the other one!
Also, just this week I am able to be a nimble as I used to be on the Table Tennis court. It is amazing to not be limping with every step I take. People were actually clapping for some of my shots in my last match.
I am now able to pivot without pain, so looks like Argentine Tango is next

In the past 8 years of running, I've been to 3-4 podiatrists, primarily for orthotics and various injuries, and before working with Dr. Miyazaki, I was pretty wary of the entire occupation. Most of them weren't actually listening or charged for expensive tests over and over again for no apparent reason, and my two pairs of useless orthotics speak to my overall frustration.
My friend recommended Dr. Miyazaki who is one of the best providers I have ever encountered. She provides diligent care for each individual patient, and when I left my appointment, I felt that she understood my entire
