The nurse and doctor just spent a few minutes with me , not much they could do, only surgery which they didn’t think it was a good idea. They answered my questions.

I broke the 5th Metatarsal in my right foot on 10-29-2022....... Dr. Franson took a very conservative approach to my treatment. No surgery, no screw in my foot.........I am glad that he was my Dr., instead of someone who right away would have suggested surgery or a screw in my foot................he listens, and is not pushy..........Great Doc.

Dr. Baravarian and his entire team have always been amazing. I’m a patient of theirs and a referring doctor. Clinically and in every other way they’re amazing. And it starts with the leadership of Dr. Baravarian.

I was not impressed with thefirst doctor who came into the room to
look at my feet; he know why I came for, but dodn’t even check another obvious condition. I did make that remark to
him.
The other doctor (female, who cut my toe nails) and the assistant were very good

The online symptom reporting software doesn’t work. Ever time I log in, whether by email or text message, freezes after the page indicating if my injury is on the left or right foot. I get a spinning icon and nothing appears thereafter.

The front desk girls have been incredible and helpful! I have been told multiple times that an assistant of the doctor would call me when I had questions…and never received a phone call from the assistant.. (upwards of 3 days) but the front desk staff, doctors and support staff during my appointments have been incredible

I left a phone message for Dr. Sharma and she didn’t respond for a week. She said she didn’t get the message. Th
I also tried to email her through your online system but her name wasn’t listed. There is something wrong with your office management. Also my confirmation reminder emails listed someone named Dr. Campbell as my doctor - have no idea who that is.
