Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

I would appreciate you not posting this. I like Dr. Briskin and would recommend him with some reservations to friends. He seems to be good at his job; helped me avoid surgery for a torn Achilles tendon, and operated on an ingrown toenail which is still healing. He is not very communicative about what he intends to do to fix your problem or what you need to do afterward to prevent a re-occurrence, so you have to ask a lot of questions both before and after treatment. Again, he is a nice guy and personable and so far has helped with each of my foot problems.

Dr Heamin Shin is fabulous. I just saw him yesterday. That’s why I’m responding now. It was confusing to receive this evaluation a week ago. Made me think I had missed my appointment. I think you should send the survey AFTER a patient sees the Dr. I did one after my last appointment so this 2nd one before was not good.

Office staff friendly, professional, caring, and efficient. Dr. Franson addressed my problem promptly and effectively treated my ailment effectively with minimal pain. He is a good Dr. And a good man whom I would recommend to others in need of a foot and ankle specialist.

Dr. Bob Babavarian is very patient and helpful, but at my age I forget to ask him more questions and one reason is that he comes into my room with a trainee or secretary taking notes and that distracts my trend of thought.
I recently had orthotics measured and placed in my shoes, but I cannot understand how they are suppose to balance me better than doing it by exercise and being careful. Also, I just lost a friend who was told by peers that she needed a cane. She was fine until she was given one, tripped pver it
fell and died in 3 days from the fall. That happens at 94, so warning..
I have not worn these arthotics. and will continue to go in for my trimming and treatment of toe nail problems. Otherwise, I still entertain and acknowledge Dr. Bob's expertise. Yes I will recommend his experience totally. But am afraid to wear these balancing restrains. Grace

Dr Baravarian did a surgery on a bone spur on/in my big toe.
The medical and office staff are all kind, responsive and efficient.
The surgery went extremely well, physical therapy continues.
Dr Baravarian did a great job.
I'm very happy with my choice of UFAI, no regrets, none!
