Santa Monica Podiatry Clinic Patient Testimonials

Dr Baravarian has been of great help in addressing the problem with flat feet by providing a wonderful ankle support on one foot. He has not addressed the problem with the other foot which is also quite flat. In addition the two feet now have different orthotics with the one orthotic having a heel and other not having one of the same nature. This contributes to my difficulty in walking since one foot is on a higher plain than the other. I have stenosis and scoliosis that also creates a problem, but I would prefer not to exacerbate the condition. I am very pleased with your office and Dr. Baravarian, but feel there is further effort needed.

Recommend having an automated doors to allow patients with foot and ankle issues access the office area more easily.

Doctor correctly diagnosed my issue after having been misdiagnosed by other doctors elsewhere. I definitely plan on making this my primary Foot and Ankle location.

Dr. Baravarian was very pleasant knowledgeable and thorough.
The girl at checkout (I think Maria) was very friendly, patient, knowledgeable and helpful regarding billing, scheduling, procedures. Thank you.
The girl at checkin wasn’t exactly rude, but she wasn’t very friendly. When I asked for clarification of something, she simply reread verbatim the part I was asking about. Didn’t smile at all.
I called to schedule a follow up appointment for a procedure and the young girl was nice, but clueless. I told her my name, I had just seen Dr. Baravarian the day before and I was calling to schedule an appt for PRP ( which Dr. B recommended). She asked me my name, if I had been there before, what doctor did I see, etc. She did not hear anything I had told her. I Also said that I think he has specific time slots for the PRP, but she scheduled me for a regular time slot. I told her 2 more times that I was told there are specific time slots for the PRP. She finally put me on hold to ask someone then rescheduled me approximately. Good thing I wouldn’t be showing up for nothing. I’ll cut her some slack, because I would guess she is new?

Excellent care from beginning to end! Dr Baravarian is amazing. - very talented, comprehensive and extremely nice! All the people in the office are very competent, polite and efficient. I highly recommend this practice!

I have all good things to say about University Foot and Ankle Institute. The staff is courteous w professional with a very positive attitude. I have not had to wait longer than 10 minutes. I especially am impressed with the Physical Therapy Staff; they are the best team of experts I have ever experienced in th medical field.

After almost two years of excruciating foot pain from Plantars Fasciitis I am experiencing huge improvements. I have almost no pain. Plus Doctor B is the only Doctor who diagnosed Fallen Arches, and prescribed effective treatment.

Do yourself a favor and make an appointment today, get the right diagnosis and treatment without wasting any time. You will be thankful for the relief.

Dr. Baravarian's care was phenomenal. Kaiser wanted to amputate, and now Mr. Feinstein, 91 years old, is walking again.

It was unfortunate that the billing office did not bill Kaiser on the date specifically promised, instead holding it in excess of 30 days, complicating and attenuating settlement of the legal dispute with Kaiser.
