Santa Monica Podiatry Clinic Patient Testimonials

This is moot by now, but, fwiw: In my first appointment, the waiting room was packed, with a long line to the front desk. At that point, masks were still required, but there were people in this long line who were not masked. It took 15-20 minutes at least to get to the front of the line, when masks were offered. It didn't feel safe, and I would have appreciated a way to mask people earlier, or not have the whole line crowded like sardines.

I have been to three different doctors about my foot. Response was do x, don’t do x, and your response was do x. I wish your group could meet about the problem and reach a consensus. Your doctor seem the most positive but it would help if there was input from the group.

Dr Briskin is my go-to person for anything having to do with feet and ankles. This clinic is very clean and well-organized. I had corns on the bottom of both feet and he took care of it in a flash, no more pain! So nice to go to an upscale clinic rather than a crowded factory like UCLA.

The first time I got an x-ray on my left foot, the gentleman had me put on a full x-ray jacket. When I was getting my right foot X-ray, I realized I did not have a jacket on at all. I actually pointed it out after the first Xray photo was taken.
I was a little concerned, not upset at all. Just wondering if I should be wearing a full jacket when taking x-rays on my foot. After mentioning it, I was given a half jacket. If that makes sense?

I find everybody is so wonderful to me on every visit. My doctor is the best I cannot tell you how pleased I am with everybody from reception to nursing assistance and all your staff I give you only 10 you were so accommodating I cannot thank you all enough, Martin Fassnidge.

From my first appointment, I was confident that I'd chosen well; Dr. Baravarian was the third podiatrist I'd consulted! He and his staff were as helpful as I could have wished - especially Alex and Cheli.

I feel safe and cared for by Dr. Baravarian and his staff. I was so impressed that on one of my visits he was the person who opened the door to the waiting room and called me in. The office is run smoothly, efficiently, and professionally. Thank you.

My boyfriend came in for sprained ligaments in his ankle. Dr. Briskin was so helpful and friendly. He made is so my boyfriend was aware of his options and when things got complicated with insurance, even took the extra step to help him set up future appts with physicians etc. would definitely recommend this practice

The front desk could have been more friendly and the doctor has a tendency to rush me whenever I come in. Not a very warm and welcoming office. I am an Optometrist and my office is well known for its warmth and smiles.
