Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Dr Johnson is GREAT, he went above and beyond to deliver excellent care and advice! We’re sooooooo happy and thankful that you’ve reopened the Santa Barbara UFAI office and so glad you have Dr Johnson there to expertly help the patients. We’ll spread the word all around town! Thank you!!!

I was a walk-in patient, literally, and Dr. Nalbandian was able to see me as soon as I finished filling out the paperwork. She took x-rays and gave me a diagnosis with options for treatment. I am happy with the prompt attention and treatment suggestions, Dr. Nalbandian was recommended by a friend who is also one of her patients, I'll do the same if the opportunity presents.

I contacted you from out of state (NJ) because my 6-yr-old orthotics made by you when I lived in LA needed to be recovered. I wish I could remember every staff member’s name who helped me over the phone. The receptionist/assistant who took my first few calls in July was patient, friendly and listened carefully. Ultimately, someone named Alex made the arrangements for my project, coordinating with your lab. He was very helpful, too. I love my refurbished orthotics as much as I loved them originally. I was anxious about doing this by mail/phone rather than in person. I wish I still had access to your care because my local podiatry care is not great. Every doctor here who has assessed my orthotics notes how very well made they are. Thank you for doing your jobs so well.

I am a longtime patient of Dr. Kelman’s. Have always been very happy with his care. I have recommended Dr. Kelman to several friends and will continue to do so in the future. I think he is an excellent physician and surgeon.

Dr. Jafary and all staff were outstanding!! I was communicated with often, and appointments were always on time, without waiting. Dr. Jafary sincerely cared about my case, and my comfort! I wouldn’t hesitate referring Dr. Jafary and the Foot & Ankle Institute to anyone in need.
Thank you all!!
