Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Great advice given to my specific foot questions and concerns. I really appreciated the options and potential outcomes from having procedures done. With both feet needing separate attention it gave me food for thought. I would definitely have Dr. Bob do the surgery when I’ve decided.

Evette @Front desk was EXTREMELY Helpful &was even able to find record of my previous visit .. that I did not even remember fr over 15yrs ago !!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Was EXCELLENT Visit & I left feeling MUCH Better, knowing I’ve got the perf treatment for prob that’s been causing discomfort &trouble for weeks &can easily return if prob persists
THANK YOU 2All @University office in Santa Monica !! “- )

I had been referred to two previous foot and ankle specialists…. Neither of them even touched my foot. Dr. Baravarian and his staff took their time, reviewed previous surgery reports, manipulated and tested my foot, and took new XRays for their review. I couldn’t have been happier with the visit and I look forward to achieving some positive results working with them.

Dr. Bob has been absolutely amazing and so has Dr. Kwon. When I’ve emailed with questions, the response time has been shockingly quick. Everybody in the office has been so kind and responsive. Thank you.!

Dr. Bob Bavarian performed my foot surgery. My daughter’s horse stepped on the top of my foot and I severed tendon. Because of the urgency I was able to get in quickly to see Dr. Bob and also to get scheduled for surgery. While my foot was going to be in a cast, we addressed a few other issues: an ankle tendon and straightening my big toe, which was starting to live under the toe next to it. Before choosing to go with Dr. Bob, I did a lot of research on surgeons in the greater LA area and combed through tons of reviews. I can honestly say I am so grateful I went with Dr. Bob. He is an incredibly skilled surgeon and did a wonderful job with my case. My emails were answered swiftly throughout this process, and I have not waited once when I showed up on time for my appointments. His office staff are kind and courteous, and his fellow Dr. Kwon is wonderful also. You will definitely be in good hands.

His is Sandra, Simon’s wife posting. I’m being treated in the Santa Monica location for Achilles tendinitis. The healing is slow due to my age and injury but the care here is exceptional. The doctors and staff are great and there is a variety of treatment options. I’m on the road to recovery.

I truly appreciate the care I get at University Foot and Ankle...you have excellent Doctors and staff who do their jobs with care and efficiency, including not making patients wait forever to be served! dr. Briskin has been my doctor for years and hopefully for years more.!!!

Dr. Johnson makes it clear that he cares about his patients. That is not true of all doctors. Thank you, Dr. Johnson for your outstanding medical care and for your caring care! : )
Another important point is that now most medical offices dramatically limit the amount of time their doctors can spend with patients so their doctors are always rushed. During both my visits Dr. Johnson was focused but didn't feel pressured to me. He analyzed my foot problem, gave me advice and next steps, and still took time to answer my questions. If UFAI gives their doctors that flexibility, it sure shows and makes a huge difference to your patients!

I was pleased that Dr. Johnson recommended some non-surgical alternatives to try first. He explained clearly what the issue was and made positive suggestions that have made walking much more comfortable.
