I trust him completely ! I look forward to seeing them all at my appointment!!!

DON’T waste your time and money on this place!
Dr. Clemente and his staff are RUDE beyond belief! I was scheduled to have surgery for a bunion, and needed to go in for a pre-​op appointment. When I called to reschedule, due to work, I was responded to with a horrible attitude. The receptionist told me I had no choice but to come in for that appointment and there was nothing she could do for me. When I asked to speak to the doctor she told me she would call me back. Upon calling me back she told me that if I couldn’t come in that day, she would have to reschedule my surgery for after March of next year! I ended up getting fired because I had no choice but to leave work for the appointment. When I went in to see Dr. Clemente, he begrudgingly asked how I was doing.
When I told him that I had just lost my job because of the unwillingness to work with me he began to raise his voice and tell me that «the world doesn’t revolve around _​_​_​_​_​ (my name).» When I explained my work situation he said, «that’s not my problem and I don’t really care.»
I cannot believe the level of disrespect!!! When you are a patient preparing for surgery, you expect to be treated with kindness. Let me rephrase, when you are a human being, you expect to be treated with kindness and some level of respect from other «professionals.»
I am so glad this happened because I cannot imagine what that surgery would have been like with such a careless doctor. This is truly a doctor that should not be practicing. He obviously doesn’t care about his patients and feels he doesn’t need to provide real care to earn and keep them.
I hope everyone reading this will be able to avoid such a painful situation.

Dr. Yadegarian at SCV Podiatry Associates is fantastic. He performed a tricky ingrown toe nail procedure on me today and I was very satisfied. I was quite nervous and needle shy, but he put me at ease, numbed me up and the whole thing was over in just a few moments. Afterward, we joked about my «deep breathing» exercises! LOL!
Let me say this, I’ve been type-​1 diabetic since age 4 and don’t trust just anyone to work on my feet. That said, Dr Yadegarian, Dr. Clemente & Dr. Halebian are among the very best. The staff is tremendous as well. I was experiencing a great deal of pain and they worked me in the schedule promptly. They are truly a caring, friendly, courteous and helpful team.
Thank you S.C.V.P.A! In the words of Aretha Franklin, you have my utmost R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Today I had an appointment to have my ingrown toe nail fixed. The staff made me feel very welcome and at home. Dr. Halebian calmed me down and made me feel very relaxed when it came time for the surgery. He took the time to show me what was going on with my nail and what he was going to do. I was so scared at first but i got through it and it was nothing now that i think about it. I would go to him again if i had any other foot issues. Thanks doc!
