I was looking for a podiatrist who could put my Humpty Dumpty foot back together after a bad experience with a previous doctor. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Lerman. There was just one shot at getting it right, and he did it! I am now five months post surgery, walking 2 miles a day on the beach, and chasing after my grandchildren. Dr Lerman truly gave me my life back - and best of all, it’s a life without foot pain. I’m very thankful to have found such a talented, compassionate, and caring doctor. I will forever be grateful for what he has given back to me. Thank you, Dr. Lerman, for giving me back my life!

Dr Lerman and his team are the best! Dr Lerman is the most empathetic and caring doctor. The whole team feels like an extended family! 3 years post op and I feel fantastic. I am so glad I did my bunion surgery with him and now see him every two years for my orthotics. Thank you and bless you Dr Lerman, in deep gratitude.

Dr. Chen is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. He explained everything clearly and helped my feet improve significantly. I am also very grateful to Theresa, Jennifer, and Jenny for their kind, gentle, and professional care with my foot taping. I highly recommend Dr. Chen and his wonderful team!

Dr. Chen is incredibly friendly, caring, and skillful. I've visited the office five times over the past 18 months for treatment on my toenails, and the experience has been consistently excellent. The office is organized, clean, and--best of all--they are always on time. Scheduling is a breeze and parking is easy. With great service and fair pricing, I highly recommend them.

Dr. Chen is always above and beyond. I went to regional based on a foot infection and unfortunately had to lose a toe. However, after the tragedy of my foot Dr.Chen always shared any concerns he had on my treatment and always looked out for me by giving advice on my feet.

Dr Bruce Lerman is my surgeon and podiatrist. He is well versed in his craft. He was able to salvage my big toe without fusion, completing a joint arthroplasty with cartilage replacement. I'm looking forward to many more years of pain free walking! The office staff are kind, caring and efficient. Thank you Jessica and Ky!

Dr. Chen was personable and listened! I didn't have a lot of options for my condition but I am being patient and following his directions. I am slowly becoming pain free. It is so nice to have a good Podiatrist that takes insurance in Monterey.

Dr. Chen is the best... I met Dr. Chen when my Brother was admitted to O'Conner Hospital with a severe diabetic ulcer on the bottom of his foot. He immediately did the necessary procedures to save his foot, and his follow-up at the Wound Care center is always top notch. He always takes the time to let you know the progress and is not afraid to tell you about his concerns. Dr. Chen always greets you with a handshake and a smile and he always puts his patients first. It is nice to know that you will always get the best care with Dr Chen.

Dr. Chen!!! Took his time answering my questions, explaining procedures and writing out terms to research to further clarify foot-related terminology. Last month I went to another podiatrist who was not competent or caring. She did not say anything should be done about the severe bunion on my left toe. Didn't suggest a follow up or the need for x-rays. Then there is Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen is kind, patient, caring and trustworthy.

I met Dr. Chen at O'Connor hospital ER, when I went in due to very infected wound on the bottom of my foot. The infection had expanded to my bone. The Valley Medical Center podiatrist wanted to amputate part of my foot to remove the infected bone & tissue. Dr. Chen had a more inventive surgery solution that did not include any amputation. My surgery went well. My recovery was problem free, as I followed Dr. Chen's instructions diligently. Today I have all 10 toes & walking without any limitations. Dr. Chen is awesome! He is a miracle worker in my book.

TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER!!! Dr. Chen is an amazing and fantastic podiatrist. He quickly assessed my condition of arthritis, provided great pain management, recommended the proper footwear and showed me a new way to tie my shoes to lessen the aggravating pain. In the past, I have seen several podiatrist at Stanford Medical Center and I have never received the kind of care and treatment he gave me.

I went to see Dr. Chen for a chronic pain in my foot/toes. This issue was causing me a lot of discomfort and concern and I had been putting it off for a while. Everyone in the office was so friendly, welcoming and knowledgable. Dr. Chen gave me a diagnosis within just a few minutes and spent a good amount of time with me talking me through it and answering lots of questions, I didn't feel rushed. I left his office with actionable steps about how I can begin to improve the condition without medication or surgery. I am so thankful to have answers about something that has been a source of worry for me and can't recommend him enough.

We tried EVERYTHING for my husband's peripheral neuropathy and Dr Lerman brought his neuropathic pain down from 6-7 to 2-4 with monthly Vitamin B complex injections in the belly of his calf muscles. We're incredibly grateful! This is a "quality of life" issue.

Utterly fantastic podiatrist here at this practice. It's been a year for me now seeing Dr. Lerman, and he has made a total difference in my mobility and quality of life. Swiftly detected my problems and treated with success. I will continue seeing him at any location, but this one at Ryan Ranch is most convenient. Grateful to have him in our community.
