Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Dr. Baravarian repaired my Achilles tendon in May of 2005. On the CT scan, at the point of rupture, there was a 1.5 inch gap between the ends of my tendon and the ends were shredded.Soon after the surgery and rehabilitation I resumed playing tennis and I have played since then, for all those years, on regular basis, usually a few times a week. I've also been doing other kinds of exercise.  I never had a slightest issue with my tendon since the surgery.  I'm 66 years old now.I had several appointments with Dr. Baravarian.   First before the surgery and than follow ups after.  He was always nice, he was listening to my questions and always explained the procedures to my satisfaction.

Coronavirus has put everything on hold but my toes are almost clear. Can't wait for this to be over and a clean bill of health.

P.S. Really hate the phone system and not being able to reach the office directly - adds time to my already packed & stress-filled day.

P.S.S. Granada Hills is easy to find - the other office needs to add maps and specific directions for every direction to the website, especially since there is no direct left turn into the campus.

Thanks for asking.

I was there in January with a referral from Motion Picture Health and was fitted for orthotics, I never received the product or follow up call.
I called in March and was told that they didn't know what happened and I'm still waiting.

Dr Redkar is excellent. Her staff are good. Another benefit for me was that Dr Redkar was able to personally check on my when I was in Cedars. She has a support team there that were excellent as well. I am so happy and grateful to have found her.

The only issue was that when I first called to make an appointment, the receptionist gave me incorrect insurance guidance. That was corrected when I called again and reached another receptionist, however the error wasted my time and energy.

I have been a patient of Dr. Baravarian for over 15 years. I fortunately met Dr. B when I returned to CA. after having a foot surgery in New York. If it wern't for Dr. Baravarian's corrective surgery, I wouldn't be walking today. He is without question, a genius in his field. and the most caring and compasionate Doctor I have ever met!
His staff immulates his example of caring, and always do all they can to accomodate your needs.
