    Going to physical therapy was something I looked forward to, except the drive. Grey and Lidia were professional, and yet warm and always felt welcome!

    I had a tailor's bunion to the right of my right foot small toe. The attending physician lanced some calloused skin with two passes and gave me the relief I required. Many thanks.

    Dr. Naie was a breath of fresh air. Her bedside manner was very caring and interested. She spent more than the allotted 15 minutes. She was thorough. She offered options to my care. She offered to trim and file down my difficult foot issues. She responded to my post appointment email.

    In an era where doctors are under pressure to please their corporate masters, she was outstanding in her attention, communication, and care. I don’t find that very often.

    Shoe recommendations were terrific and my doctor spent a lot of time with me which I truly appreciated. I was also able to re rive an appointment the same day which was very refreshing given the state of medicine these days!
    Thank you

    Make sure you bill UHC as my primary insurance. I got a letter from Medicare to say you billed them and they are not my primary. Thanks.

    I was pretty unhappy when your group left the Olympic Blvd facility. I now take the rather lengthy trip to Santa Monica because I find Dr. Briskin to be an excellent physician, his demeanor and that of his group are friendly helpful and take excellent care of me. I mention the trip to Santa Monica
    because I am disabled and do not drive. I do have other options for care
    but my satisfaction with Dr. Briskin means I consider him "my doctor".

    Previously, Dr. Baravarian treated me for an ankle ligament tear with stem cell injections. They were very successful. I am grateful and always recommend him to others.

    For the more minor problem on this visit, his recommended treatment solved my problem.

    The office staff is excellent.

    Dr. Baravarian and his staff were all very polite and punctual. I’ve probably been one of the patients of least acuity but they make me feel important and Dr. Bobs treatment have only been helping.
    Gray and Lydia in PT were also pivotal in my rehab.
