Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

I felt very confident with the services provided. I tried another podiatrist that failed with a “permanent” ingrown toenail procedure 7 times! The procedure that Dr. Kelman provided was much different. I feel very confident this time will work! I also loved that follow-up visits to check the toe were scheduled. Thank you!

Fine I need to follow through on a couple of items -the authorization for compression stockings was denied -this has happened last time & believe wrong code was used. I would like to be able to contact the office that I go to directly

I have been to both the mid city and Santa Monica offices. My visit was to the mid-city office and I felt the staff couldn't be more kind and helpful. When I went to the Santa Monica office back in 2016, some of the staff was particularly rude and while I thought my doctor there was excellent and didn't want to go back anymore because of the staff. I didn't want to be uncomfortable for every visit. So I am really glad the mid-city office was great and really helpful in getting me to understand some updated policies and not be condescending. I think the staff is just as important as the doctors themselves in providing care and service to us patients.

Dr Kelman warns me ahead of time that there will be a sting and then after that there is no pain whatsoever. All are extremely kind and understanding. I always tell my friends to go to Dr Kelman for any foot issues. Thank you to Dr Kelman and to his assistants for their professional and thorough treatment.
