Santa Monica Podiatry Clinic Patient Testimonials

Thank you Dr. Carter for your kindness and professionalism. I felt like running with the orthotics (and ran in place) but I think running was not so good for me, better to stick with walking for now!

Thank you so much, and I am so glad Kevin recommended you to me! I will recommend your office to my teacher friends, lawyer friends, and church folks!
How do I get 2nd pair of orthotics for my heeled/dress shoes?

So this was a follow up visit on three years. Dr Carter heard me and made some suggestions that made life a lot better. I think you should stress the importance of proper insoles as I went three years without realizing that arch support is 100% important. Now I wish I had gotten custom insoles at the time of my surgery when my insurance would have covered it. Also I just want to say that you should bring in a dietician of sorts to go over how to properly eat when you are injured and recovering. I gained a lot of weight pre op and post opp and took three years to find a diet that works with limited mobility and emphasizes your muscles rather than gaining fat. Just an idea though. Anyways thank you again. Hope I don’t have to visit soon ;)

The staff is friendly and professional. If you're on time, they are on time, which makes for shorter wait times to be seen. Dr. Baravarian explains foot conditions and problems very well, and I would recommend him and UFAI for any foot related problem. The physical therapy department is very good also.

Even though I was told to return to have further testing and see a different Dr., I was given more info on my 8 year old ankle implant than 5 orthopedics over 8 years combined had come close to telling me!
Thank you!!
