Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

I found UFAI after failing traditional treatment for plantar fasciitis in our small town. I did everything suggested, to no avail. In near desperation, I made the long trip to Valencia (3 hours one-way). I found Dr. Jafary to be kind and understanding. Within a month after my first visit, I had Topaz surgery with a stem cell injection. It's been eight weeks now and the recovery has been remarkable. I can't remember my foot feeling this near-normal in years--I wrote off so much of the stiffness and pain to aging and felt I was being overly anxious. I still have a bit to go to totally restore my foot mechanics, but that is due to the length of time I had chronic plantar fasciitis without fully realizing the devastation it created. I highly recommend Dr. Jafary and commend him for his fine work with my case.

Dr Jaffary is amazing. My daughter broke her ankle and immediately went to him first. He saw us and walked us through the next steps. He showed me the X-rays and explained exactly what happened and answered my many questions. Advised us on how to rehab to get her back to playing volleyball as soon as possible and took the time with us to make sure he knew he really cared. We never felt rushed. I'm so thankful for such a wonderful doctor. I would highly recommend him and his amazing staff too.

Dr Jaffrey was very helpful reg Bill's broken toe; however, he recommended a home test for his leg veins & arteries & it was done. However, he did not call & tell us he had referred us to Dr. Jason because the test showed abnormalities. So we visited Dr. Jason unprepared for why we were there. It would have been helpful if Dr. Jaffrey had called & told us why we were supposed to visit Dr. Jason! Otherwise, we were pleased with Dr Jaffrey's care.

I highly recommend coming here if you have any kind of ankle or foot fracture. They're very knowledgeable and very polite. Everything is under one roof, if you suspect a fracture just come here first before going to the ER or urgent care. I almost had to get an MRI pay a lot of money. Dr bob told me it wasn't neccessary. The reason I'm deducting a star is because the parking, they don't validate. The receptionist, doesn't smile and just has a face of disappointment on her. They need someone a little more welcoming in the office for such a great place like this.

Thank you Dr Franson, much appreciated

I'd love it if the office could notify me when I'm again due (2 years I believe) for orthotics that my SAG insurance covers. It had actually been 3 years since my first time seeing you.

I have been a patient of Dr. Franson for almost 10 years. I recommend him to my friends whenever they are having foot problems. My Mom, Dad & husband have all been seen by Dr. Franson. His staff is very professional, friendly and helpful.
