Santa Monica Podiatry Clinic Patient Testimonials

Only feedback is that I wish the main doctor would spend a little more time with me. He was great and provided a lot of good detail in a short amount of time, but he was in and out within a minute or two. I have a number of various issues and it felt like we didn't discuss everything 100% . But still it was a good experience for me.

Dear Dr. Baravarian,
As per my EMG/NCS Report of left leg & foot, I have damage to the Peroneal nerve in left ankle. And I have 3
L5 S1 related muscle/nerves that are reduced by 75%
causing Sciatica and leg-foot atrophy.
There are many words on the report of this a.m. that I’ll have to look up. And see a Spine doctor.
E.T.

I. Am so grateful for Dr. Briskin and Dr. carter as well as their assistants and clerical staff. Everyone is always kind, courteous, and professional. I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes to be called in for my appointment. By far one of my best medical experiences to date because of the doctors and staff!

The doctor (Dr. Bob Baravarian) and his entire staff are wonderful. I have benefited tremendously by the expertise of this surgeon and then the follow-up exercises of the physical therapist. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who is suffering with problems with their feet.

Dr. Briskin seemed rushed but was able to diagnose my problem and come up with a solution. I would have liked it if he was able to spend a little more time with me for questions.

Currently, my foot still feels as if it is continuing to heal. It cramps up from time to time as I move about more and more. So far, so good.

Before that, Dr. Carter had me in a boot for 4-6 weeks and my foot was not getting better. I realize that at my age healing takes longer.

It was kind of pushy to send three reminders for me to fill out this survey. I admire Dr Briskin very much and so I gave it all tens. However at this visit I did not see doctor Briskin, I saw someone else because Dr Briskin was ill.

For this reason I did not fill out a survey asking me how my visit with Dr briskin went.

You have these automatic surveys, you have your automated phone calls, etc. As a patient I will say that your system needs some work. I got multiple phone calls even though I did everything the prompts on your phone call asked me to do. And I got some calls reminding me to reschedule an appointment I'd already rescheduled and been to. It definitely has a lot of flaws.

Automation can save labor, this is true. But at this time it is also alienating your patients with its ineptitude.

I had to have surgery for a bunion and the staff was great! Very knowledgeable & personable every step of the way. Thank you Dr Carter, Jessica, Ericka for taking such good care of me through this process.
