About

Michael A Zapf, DPM, MPH, FACFAS

Dr. Michael Zapf started the Agoura-Los Robles Podiatry Centers in 1985. He added Darren Payne, DPM and Steve Benson, DPM to the practice so now there are three doctors in the offices splitting time in the two locations. We also have two physical therapists in the Thousand Oaks office. Dr. Zapf was a Public Health Microbiologist before going to podiatric medical school. Dr. Zapf is involved in several local organizations in the community. He is a past president of the Westlake Sunrise Rotary Club and was instrumental in establishing Operation Footprint where United States podiatrists travel to Honduras for an annual club foot surgery session. Dr. Zapf has participated in seven week long surgery trips to Honduras. He is a board member and past-president of the Conejo Free Clinic which has been providing free medical and legal service to local residents for almost 30 years. He has also been on the board of the Triunfo YMCA and the Conejo Future Foundation.

We have two office to serve you. Our brand new office in Agoura Hills is located at 5115 Clareton Drive, Suite 120, just passed the Trader Joes off of Canwood Street. In Thousand Oaks our office is located on the choicest portion of the most beautiful (and clean) building in Thousand Oaks, the Bella Vista at 555 Marin Street at the corner of Marin and Wilbur behind the Janss Mall.
