Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

My husband recommended Dr. Briskin to consult about my foot. I'm glad I went. I like Dr. Briskin, he is honest and straight to the point. I'm glad he gave his honest opinion before proceeding with my surgery. It help a lot and decided not to proceed at this time. The staff are nice and easy to deal with. They have free WiFi and parking ticket validation. The reason why I only gave them four star, I wish they are more informative and efficient when it comes to providing every details and steps that I needed to know prior to surgery. This is what's missing on their part or at least needs improvement. The lack of initiative unless you asked.So make sure you prepare all the questions you have in mind when consulting with Dr. Briskin, and the staff.

Dr. Carter is great. I trust him with my well-being and health. His staff is also very kind and professional. Highly recommend. Great staff: very kind and very professional. Dr. Carter: very knowledgeable and very attentive and errs on the side of caution; he is confident but still kind. "

The staff at the Valencia UFAI is beyond helpful. They are always very accommodating, cheerful, knowledgeable and friendly. I truly adore them all. A Huge shoutout to all of them.

Dr Franson is most likely the finest physician I have ever had in my life! He never, ever makes me feel rushed or unimportant. He always listens to my complaints as though it’s the first time he has ever heard of them. He is my champion and staunchest advocate to try to get to the root of my many problems. I have proven to be a somewhat complicated case requiring several surgeries. I have only had his full attention and concerns regarding my situation. I would never consider seeing any other doctor for my foot and ankle pains. Dr Franson is my ride or die doctor as far as my foot goes! I highly recommend him.

Thank you, Dr Franson, from the bottom of my foot and 3/4 of the way up to my heart to further up still, to my brain!

Thank you Dr. Carter for your kindness and professionalism. I felt like running with the orthotics (and ran in place) but I think running was not so good for me, better to stick with walking for now!

Thank you so much, and I am so glad Kevin recommended you to me! I will recommend your office to my teacher friends, lawyer friends, and church folks!
How do I get 2nd pair of orthotics for my heeled/dress shoes?

So this was a follow up visit on three years. Dr Carter heard me and made some suggestions that made life a lot better. I think you should stress the importance of proper insoles as I went three years without realizing that arch support is 100% important. Now I wish I had gotten custom insoles at the time of my surgery when my insurance would have covered it. Also I just want to say that you should bring in a dietician of sorts to go over how to properly eat when you are injured and recovering. I gained a lot of weight pre op and post opp and took three years to find a diet that works with limited mobility and emphasizes your muscles rather than gaining fat. Just an idea though. Anyways thank you again. Hope I don’t have to visit soon ;)
