Here’s What Our Patients Throughout Long Beach Are Saying About Us…

I have been suffering with planter fasciitis for over a year. It had just gotten to the point were I was wiped out by the end of the day. My ankles knees and hips were hurting too. All because of my feet I was over compensating how I walked. So I finally decided to try a specialist and I'm feeling an improvement already. It's only been 2 weeks so I'm very hopeful I may beat this thing. My experience at solfoot was the best starting from the front desk to the doctor. She really took time and explained what was going on with my feet. She told me will start simple changes stretches and taping my feet. I go back this week to check my progress.

Everyone is always extremely nice and helpful. You can tell from the doctors to the receptionists, the people in this office truly want to deliver an amazing experience for and with their patients. The office(s) are conveniently located and I've never had to wait long before I was seen by the doctor. I will continue to choose Sol for my foot and ankle care. This message was approved by Deric K.

I am very grateful to Dr. Graves for helping me regain my mobility. I was in such awful pain before coming to see him and he has given me immense relief. I found Dr. Graves by looking online for a podiatrist in the area and he definitely lived up to the recommendations and reviews online. I found heaven at Sol Foot & Ankle Centers! The staff are also always warm, welcoming and ready to help.

Dr. Richard Graves is a top-notch podiatrist and about the nicest man you'll meet. It also helps that he is a long-time runner (as am I), so he understands my problems first hand and how to resolve them. I tell all of my runner friends to visit Dr. Graves with their foot, ankle, etc. issues. Dr. Graves is helping to heal my plantar fasciitis, and recurring lower calf issues. He even noticed and treated a plantar wart during my visit.

I came to this office as a memory.  I was very pleased with the way my mother was treated.  Now, I am a patient and I am very happy with my treatment.  The staff goes above and beyond.  I love you all from the bottom of my heart.  - May 2018

I have been a patient of Dr. Shirai for several years.  She is always helpful and and considerate as is the staff. I ask for special accommodations and they are always happy to comply therefore making my visit less stressful.

I visited Dr. Shirai for beginning stages of ingrown toenail and metatarsal pain. This developed after suffering from a broken toe about 10 months ago. Dr. Shirai exceeded my expectations in terms of being so caring and attentive. She helped to diagnose my problems and agree upon a treatment plan after taking x-rays of one foot. Luckily my broken toe was properly healed. The adjacent shoe shop had a good selection of sandals with metatarsal support and I ended up buying a couple pairs that will be super comfortable for my vacation. My experience was great and I would definitely recommend Dr. Shirai. All the staff there were pleasant and caring. Facilities are clean, but parking can be challenging.

I started coming to Dr. Graves 10+ yrs ago. I've had minor foot issues. My boys growing up experienced foot and ankle issues playing sports. Recently, my daughter needed treatment for her ankle due to gymnastics. We can all come to Dr. Graves and expect excellent professional care. So thankful we have a doctor who is knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Graves and staff are always so friendly and helpful. Even after moving 30 minutes south, we still only think of this office when we have foot and ankle care. - Elaine Sedillos July 2018

I was visiting my son and family in Long Beach and I was in pain with my left foot and ankle so I looked up the closest foot doctor to my son’s place, and luckily for me, that was Dr. Mie Shirai.  Dr. Shirai was so sweet, pleasant, knowledgeable, a breath of fresh air compared to my previous podiatrist experiences.  Her staff also echoes her wonderful demeanor. I’d been suffering from foot pain for almost a year! I’d been suffering from foot pain for almost a year and the first doctor in my town said to me; “Well, what do you expect you have flat feet!” The 2nd podiatrist said and did everything politely but was gruff and grumpy so I never returned to either of them.  It turned out that I had a small inner tear in a tendon in my left foot. It turned out that I had a small inner tear in a tendon in my left foot. It hurt everyday and into the night where the pain woke me up several times a night.  This left me exhausted and grumpy. Dr. Shirai asked me many questions about my foot pain.  She told me what could be a course of care depending on what they would discover about my injury.  They x-rayed my foot and taped it.  Then later I went for an MRI and they gave me a boot to wear for 6 weeks. I finally was on the road to recovery! I would most happily recommend Dr. Shirai of Sol Foot & Ankle Centers to anyone who needs a podiatrist and or is suffering from foot and/or ankle pain.  Dr. Shirai and her staff are a breath of fresh air!

5 Stars I have had foot pain for years, and my previous podiatrists told me I was fine. Dr. Shirai took me seriously, ordered x-rays, gave me some insight about my foot problems, and offered a solution that immediately relieved a lot of my pain! I couldn't be happier.

 5 Stars!!  I had a broken baby toe. My toe was a right turn from the rest of the bunch, looked like a flipper.  Dr. Graves numbed it and realigned the break. It's straight now! My first appointment the day of the accident was with an orthopedic doctor who told me my toe would be functional but permanently askew unless I had surgery with anesthesia and a metal rod through it for 6 weeks, unable to get it wet, those were my options. My brother and sister-in-law recommended Dr. Graves and made me a same day appointment, by 6:00 PM my toe was straightened without surgery or pain. Dr. Graves is the real deal. My faith in doctors is restored!!

5 Stars I had a rather infected ingrown toenail. It was very painful and limited my ability to exercise. The staff are super professional and were very eager to lessen any anxiety I had about the procedure. The procedure was explained to me and took very little time. Aftercare was explained in depth and following the instructions has been easy. I am on the way to recovery and will soon be back to my normal exercise routine!

5 Stars! My left foot has become progressively worse over the past few years with widespread pain on the top of my foot radiating up the ankle/leg. Dr Shirai has me on track with medication and physical therapy. All of the staff were amazing, kind and helpful.

5 Stars!! I have plantar fasciitis (heel spur).  I had been in pain for over 3 months and finally made an appointment with Dr. Shirai. She helped get out of pain almost immediately! She knows her stuff! Everyone on staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. And I love that the doctors work together and help each other's patients when one is out or away from the office. Best podiatrist around!

Five Stars! I really felt comfortable. I had been suffering with my toenail for years because I was embarrassed to discuss the problem. I was finally seen by someone I felt comfortable with.

Five Stars! I received excellent service at Sol Foot & Ankle Centers. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.  Dr. Graves was extremely patient and answered all my questions.  He is an exceptional doctor who uses his years of experience to help his patients. Dr. Graves helped me with my heel pain!! He diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis and I was on the mend soon after seeing him.  He is a true professional!! He was highly recommended by my endocrinologist. Glad he was able to resolve my painful heel! Thank you Dr. Graves! I will be forwarding your office info to my friends and colleagues.

I first visited Sol Foot & Ankle Centers in Long Beach for a sprained ankle and torn meniscus. I was having locking of the ankle, snap/popping sound and throbbing when I walked. Dr. Graves helped me and gave me a better understanding of my condition, and possible solutions to my problem. Great service! Doctors and starff were very friendly and professional. I would recommend this place to anyone.

5 stars! I started receiving treatment at Sol Foot & Ankle Centers for an ulcer on my toe that was making it difficult to walk.  Dr. Mie Shirai provided expert treatment; my toe is on the mend and my foot is much happier.  You can't find better doctors anywhere!

Five Stars Excellent Service! I was taken in right away (even though i was late), the office was very professional and Dr. Richard Graves was extremely kind and helpful.  I will definitely return if I needed further foot care. Thank you for helping me!

Five Stars! I first went to see Dr. Richard Graves for a stress fracture in my heel bone. Dr. Graves is a wonderful, caring doctor.  I feel I am getting the best genuine care for my foot injury. I love that he is a runner too. And the staff is very attentive and courteous.  Thank you Dr. Graves and Sol Foot and Ankle Centers!
