KIN Foot & Ankle

Empowering Every Step of Your Journey

Modern, compassionate foot & ankle care in Los Angeles for active, pain-free living

At KIN, our name is inspired by kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Just as kintsugi transforms what was once broken into something strong and resilient, our philosophy centers on healing and restoration, with a focus on prevention and lasting wellness.

Jon & Jacqui P.

Dr. Ishibashi's surgical skills and bedside manner are outstanding. During my first visit, after she diagnosed my condition, she objectively presented the available options and quickly performed the procedure on my foot. She provided post-operative care, and the instructions were very clear, which helped facilitate my full recovery. Thanks, Dr. Ishibashi!

Mitra M.

Dr. Ishibashi re-diagnosed my gout diagnosis quickly and CORRECTLY as soft tissue migration into the ankle joint. With a lifetime on my feet in industry, things like this tend to happen. It was a swift and well executed surgery with all the support I could ask for! I was quickly and happily back on my feet to resume my active life. Throughout the process, Dr. Ishibashi was responsive, clear, and exceptionally supportive. She’s truly a first rate physician and surgeon. I can’t thank her enough!
