    Dr. Franson has given me such excellent care, first with my right toe injury, and now with my bunion surgery. He explained the procedure and recovery instructions so explicitly. It is unbelievable to me that he performed all the foot corrections I required in just two hours. The healing process is going very smoothly especially after the surgery he performed on such a deformed right foot. Really appreciated the personal after surgery follow-up call from him.

    I needed paperwork for a deadline for work and the staff made sure they got it to me. They really care. And I am very thankful for that.

    Not much to tell. I went in, they took my shoe size, let me select the type shoe I wanted, billed me $60 and let me go home.

    Dr Sircar is amazing! He genuinely cares about his patients, he takes the time to explain everything, while ensuring you fully understand. He went above and beyond in my case with following up via phone calls and texts on multiple occasions due to the nature of my visit. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing foot or ankle care! He's an asset to your organization.

    Had an MRI on Monday 8-20. After several phone calls I was able to get the results. (I think Dr Baravarian was out of town)
    I did not receive he MRI report until Thur 8-30. This is way too long.
    I have an appt with Dr B. for Thursday Sept 6.

    The front desk experience was not up to my standards.
    Also to wait outside was a bit strange!
    Receptionist was dry and indifferent.

    I work in the medical field and my experience with Dr. Sircar and his staff was exceptional. Very professional, efficient and attentive/responsive to my questions and concerns. I have been recommending Dr. Sircar to my friends for foot/ankle surgery and have one friend who just had her broken foot repaired by Dr. Sircar at Goleta Valley and she had the same excellent experience.

    I felt very comfortable. I felt heard and understood. I do think they could really help with my condition. However, my insurance does not cover this until a $3K deductible is met and unfortunately, I just can't afford. I would recommend this doctor to others.

    I was late for this appointment by 15 minutes (1&1/2 hour drive) I called, I was so happy they could still see me. Everyone was very accommodating, and I did not feel rushed at all

    I will reschedule, I just can't keep the appointment as scheduled. I already referred a friend, Nancy Vandernoot. When she needs an app[ointment, she will call for Dr. Redkar.
