    I was there in January with a referral from Motion Picture Health and was fitted for orthotics, I never received the product or follow up call.
    I called in March and was told that they didn't know what happened and I'm still waiting.

    Dr Redkar is excellent. Her staff are good. Another benefit for me was that Dr Redkar was able to personally check on my when I was in Cedars. She has a support team there that were excellent as well. I am so happy and grateful to have found her.

    I have been a patient of Dr. Baravarian for over 15 years. I fortunately met Dr. B when I returned to CA. after having a foot surgery in New York. If it wern't for Dr. Baravarian's corrective surgery, I wouldn't be walking today. He is without question, a genius in his field. and the most caring and compasionate Doctor I have ever met!
    His staff immulates his example of caring, and always do all they can to accomodate your needs.

    Dr Baravarian,

    Thank you for the opportunity to give my comments..
    I first visited you 6 years ago. You were forthright then about my need for bunion surgery. I delayed b/c I had not experienced any real discomfort.
    My next visit was in October 2019 and again you were polite, professional and forthright. I needed the surgery. Your outline of expectations pre and post surgery has helped me prepare and manage the recovery. The surgery day was routine and pleasant.
    I also appreciate the support of your associate, Dr. Saeedi and surgery coordinator Cheli Mendoza. And I look forward to every post op PT work with Gray and Lydia. They have educated me about the recovery and designed a program that has results.
    I would not hesitate to recommend UFAI to anyone in need of your professional care.. Thank you

    Dr. Briskin is one of the greatest doctors in Los Angeles.
    He is very knowledgable and his treatments are effective and easy.
    (I am currently in NM so it will be a while for the next appointment; I understand there is a report)
    Dr. Baravarian is also great.
    The front desk is efficient and the billing dept. is easy to reach.
    Every appointment at University Foot and Ankle is practically a vacation.

    Very pleased with my care at ufai. Dr Briskin and staff are wonderful. I’ve come in to treat two foot and ankle injuries within the last 6 years, and also get my orthotics for my probation. Thanks for everything and see you soon!

    Wish they would have made me two orthotics. One for everyday shoe and one for a workout shoe. Now they want me to come back. With the lockdown, this is a bad idea.
