Santa Monica Podiatry Clinic Patient Testimonials

I was impressed by my nurses but the doctor was in and out of the room in 30 seconds and I felt like I was burdening him with my questions instead of him really caring about me and my situation. My case is not very difficult and I understand he probably doesn't think it's that big of a deal, but for me it IS a big deal and a little more information and concern would have gone a long way.

I thank Dr Briskin and everybody at UFAI for diagnosing my foot pain and creating a perfect pair of orthotics!!! My right foot thanks you too. It’s the first time in YEARS that I can walk easily and comfortably. Thank you all!

From the staff, to the doctors, technicians and everyone at UFAI, are all friendly, caring, running the office effectively and efficiently. Dr. Briskin really tries to diagnose the problem and provides various type of options to help heal his patients.

Doctor Briskin did an excellent job, very knowledgeable and we are very happy with the way the procedure went, my son is afraid of needles and Doctor Briskin was very patient and understanding.
Thank You

Santa Monica waiting room is badly arranged. Space between seats is not adaquate for people who have foot injuries or mobility issues. When I was there a woman had two pre-teen kids that she was not supervising, the staff could hear the unruliness but did nothing. When one child stepped on my sore foot I reluctantly and pleasantly commented to the mother, she apologised. Should not have been my issue, was an office issue.
Also, when I received a call from your office..the business name did not appear , so I did not answer.. would save your office lots of time if it your buisness was identified by name

The only negative I have is the front office employee
She is very Rude and dismissive Never looks you in the eye
I understand that she is great with the paperwork, but she is the fist introduction to your business,and that could be a real turn off

I would have felt better if the issue with my left heel was at least addressed after an X-ray was taken...there were none. I was there less than 10 minutes and I left the office less than confident that my issue would be taken care of. His staff did address the issue with my right foot which made for a successful visit but that was not the case for my main issue...my left heel! My doctor was VERY good in my first visit to see him but this last visit was less than stellar and went by in a blur...I didn’t leave feeling like I was taken care of. He has recommended physical therapy And orthotics for my issue but I Would have left there feeling more confident with his diagnosis and recommendations if he had taken a few minutes to at least look at it closely...that didn’t happen!! I’m going to do the physical therapy and get the orthotics as he has prescribed and hope that it helps.
