I am Dr. Michael Zapf. I have been offering a full range of podiatric medical services, from ingrown nails to heel pain and foot surgery, to my friends and neighbors in the Las Virgenes, Conejo and Simi Valleys since 1985. This is my personal web site. It has been up since 1990 and has received more than 2 million visits. The entire site is my responsibility only and nearly everything on the site was written by me. You are welcome to peruse this site and learn what you can about me, your feet and the problems your feet can develop. Things happen fast in medicine so whatever you read could well be outdated, especially if it was written many years ago. On this site you will read historic articles that I wrote for a lay audience as long as 25 years ago, so please do not take anything on this site as definitive or as applying directly to your condition. You may wonder why I have my own site even though there is also an official practice site. Well, my partners are of a younger generation raised on tweets, e-mails and iPhones. They want a professional site that they believe better represents the professional nature of our practice. They also believe that people no longer take the time to read anything of length. I, on the other foot, think there is still a world out there full of people who still read lengthy descriptions of problems and solutions. if you are one of those old fashioned readers, then this site if for you. Let me know what you think. Let me know you are out there.

Please note that all information and photographs on this site are copyrighted by me, Michael Zapf, DPM, and cannot be used for any private or commercial purposes. I work with two other podiatrists in my practice who may or may not share any of my ideas and philosophy. Do not expect them to practice the way I do or even believe in any of the speculation I present here. If you appreciate what I have written and want me to be your treating doctor, you will have to ask for me specifically. Even if my office says at first, " He is booked until next month",  I still want to see you as long as you are a little flexible with your schedule. If your visit is an emergency, I know that  you will be happy with either of my associates, Dr. Darren Payne or Dr. Steve Benson. They are exceedingly well trained and capable in any foot emergency.

Exciting news!!! New Thousand Oaks Location  è

Those of you who get to visit the office are going to feel very lucky. You will get to meet the most marvelous podiatry staff in the world.

"...I was very impressed with your bedside manner and the friendliness of your staff. You, along with them, could not have made me feel more comfortable."  Rhonda Harvey

Michelle is the one most likely to greet you when you call our office. She works at the front office in Agoura and receives phone calls, schedules appointments and surgeries and obtains pre-authorizations for medical procedures. Don't tell anyone but she is also the one who answers the phone when you call our Thousand Oaks office as well (the call forwards automatically to the Agoura location. Michelle is always in Agoura).

Christine and Sharon work mostly in the back with Dr. Zapf, although they are quite versatile and you may find them in front from time to  time as well. They are trained to take x-rays, assist in surgical procedures and help the office run smoothly.

Morgan is our high school employee that started out as just a filing clerk but now even answers the phone sometimes. If you get Morgan on the phone - be nice. She has been here the shortest time.

And here they are!

From the left are Michelle, Christine and Sharon. These are the smiling faces you will meet when you come to the office.

From left to right are Sharon (podiatric assistant), Morgan (filing and reception) and Christine (back office - orthotic and shoe expert). Morgan is our high school employee. She started out as just a filing clerk but has progressed to answering the phone at times as well. She has been with us the shortest time - so if you get her on the phone don't ask too hard a question, please. But, if you do get Morgan, you can ask that question in French! Oui!

Sandi is the billing and insurance coordinator. She works part time. The best way to get a hold of her is to leave a message with Michelle and Sandi will call you back promptly. She has a special message about the billing and insurance that you can read by clicking on -->                                             

Sandi is on the left.
