Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

The only thing is that sometimes I have to call after the doctor to ask a question, as he rushes out. But the staff is always very informative and friendly and I was diagnosed very quickly, which was a relief

Being new to the area I was a little skeptical about were to go but so happy I found them. Making an appointment online is all new to me. Not sure if I would get in or if I would have to wait 24hrs for a phone call but when I made the appointment it wasn’t long after that they called me to confirm. I was very impressed with that. Still a little skeptical but in a lot of pain, I went to my appointment and was even more impressed by Dr Sircar and his staff. I felt very well taken care of. They were very patient and understanding with me. They answered all of my questions and I felt like they really cared. I am happy to finally find an awesome foot and ankle Specialist! Thank you to Dr Sircar and his staff for the outstanding service! I highly recommend them for any foot or ankle problems you might have.

Just a comment to Dr. Franson. My big toe problem is still kind of a puzzle, but much better. I have such very bad hip pain recently that I saw a hip surgeon (Dr. Hernandez - SCOI) last Friday. He took x-rays, made it clear that I do not need hip surgery, and indicated that this hip problem is because I have been walking on the outside of my right foot. (When I told him of my recent three problems in the right foot, he said, "That is the first thing you have said that makes any sense!") He is a nice guy -- he was kind of teasing me. I was pretty uptight -- I think he was trying to get me to relax a bit. I have bursitis in that hip. He gave me a cortisone shot for that and I have been trying to walk flat footed on my right foot since. Much, much improvement.

We just arrived at our lake house in Oregon a bit ago and will be here for two weeks. As soon as I get home, I have a follow up appt to see you. Am very interested in the cushiony orthotics that you suggested. Would like to get those started. I think they might help my hip problems too.

Love your office, staff, and the help you have given me. So very very appreciative.

Although it was my initial appointment with Dr Franson I felt welcomed by every one I interacted with in the office. Dr Franson is extremely caring, he answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease with the treatment I received. I will definitely recommend Dr Franson to my friends and family.
