Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

My former dr. Is not seeing patients during the lock down, dr. Feldman is putting his patients needs ahead of the circumstances and any personal concerns. He is now my choice for my medical needs.

I have recommended your office often, and will continue to....

That said, most of those I’ve referred wish Dr. Baravarian would spend a bit more time with them; they express that they feel rushed through and not personally “seen.“ But they all seem satisfied with the outcomes. Ultimately that’s most important, but because you’ve asked— and because I want those I refer to be happy — I thought I’d share.

Thank you for your interest!

Dr. Franson and Dr. Jafari are so professional, knowledgeable and personable and the entire staff is very efficient and welcoming.
I am so happy to be a patient of Dr. Franson - the treatment and surgery were outstanding.

Always a pleasure to visit Dr. Feldman's office. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The facility is clean and they take extra precautions to protect patients from the spread of germs (the virus). My feet feel and look better too! ;) Very thorough care, explanation of procedure and follow up phone calls after my surgery to see how I was doing.

Gratitude and a suggestion:
I ask a lot of questions and really appreciate that all of my questions are thoroughly answered. Thank you Dr. Babak Baravarian!

Twice recently I've been asked to "test drive" new toys in doctor's offices. Both times I was inside a small patient/treatment room. The toys were very different, but the results were similar:
The first time I was asked if a pair of reading glasses made me dizzy when walking. I reported to my doctor that I had no problem with dizziness inside the little room, but the moment I walked out onto busy Wilshire Boulevard I almost threw up, I was so disoriented.
The second time I tested custom orthotic shoe inserts. (The problem I have been having is that, when I walk, one of my toes tingles as if it is asleep.) Inside the small room, I reported that my toe wasn't tingling while walking. The moment I got out onto Wilshire Boulevard and picked up some speed, my toe began tingling.
My suggestion is that test drives should happen in a more real-life setting than a tiny patient/treatment room.
