    Dr B came in, examined my foot, provided a diagnosis, and offered a few solutions. He was approachable and easy to talk to. He made me feel like he was a kick-ass doctor who knew what he was talking about. He did not waste my time nor his. His staff was also nice. Would recommend.

    Dr. Redkar is excellent. I am very happy with her thoroughness, and how clearly she explains what she can and cannot do. She also followed up with me after my recent surgery to be sure I was doing all my post-op procedures. It was the most pleasant surgical experience I have ever had. Love her!!!

    I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Baravarian.
    I had two surgeries with him. I've already recommended "Dr. Bob" to several friends and colleagues in my industry.
    Wishing Dr. Baravarian a great and successful career!

    I presented dr B with mri results of my back before any procedures were performed. I have a pinched nerve in my lower back that is causing most of my feet pain. I was given a shot in my lower back last week and most of my feet pains have been eliminated.

    From start to finish I was impressed with the quality of my care! I had previously gone to urgent care when I hurt my ankle. They gave me crutches and sent me, "walking". When my ankle was not better a week later i did some online research and found UFAI. Was I ever glad I did! Dr. B. figured it out from looking at the urgent care xrays, things they totally missed. I was fitted for a boot and my ankle felt tremendously better immediately!
