Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

I was seen at the Valencia, CA office and Dr. Franson is my podiatrist. He’s done such an amazing job with my foot. I had suffered from plantar fasciitis, bone spurs and a rod that was preventing me from moving my big toe. He took care of all that just yesterday with a surgery. I must say it’s a lot for one foot but I’m amazed at how little pain there is. He’s such a wonderful doctor who really cares. He’s patient, kind and explains things to you in a way you understand exactly what’s going on and what to expect. His staff is great too! Sabrina is on top of her game and gets things done from scheduling surgeries, getting you a boot to wear after your surgery, to any paperwork you need to turn in to your work. I can’t recommend them enough.

I have been treated by Dr. Jafari for a little over a year now and he is absolutely the best! He really listens, he cares, and he knows what he's doing. I have greatly improved and have been able to get back to my daily routine. The entire staff is great. I highly recommend the University Foot and Ankle Institute in Valencia!

Overall the experience was good. Dr. Briskin worked with me till we found the right fit for the orthotics which I really appreciated. There was no guilt, just a sense of let’s figure this out together.

Dr. Justin Franson and his staff are absolutely the most passionate, dedicated and professional office I have ever experienced for foot care. I can say this with authority as I am a very successful music businessman who has been to numerous podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons in Beverly Hills, Westwood and Santa Monica. If I moved back there (and I wouldn’t because of insane traffic) I would easily battle the traffic to get the best foot and ankle care in Southern California.
And, thanks to Dr. Franson’s skilled ankle replacement surgery I may run another marathon!
I am also pleased to see that his daughter is in school taking up the passion and to follow in his footsteps.
It’s nice that a family tradition will carry on!

Dr. Franson is very caring and detailed. He is concerned about me, my progress, and what my insurance will cover. The office staff are amazing (which is a direct reflection of how Dr. Franson runs his office). Jennifer knows each patient by name when they walk into the office. Would highly recommend and I have referred others to Dr. Franson.

I always feel at home when I come into UFAI. The staff is very friendly and eager and able to take care of the reasons for my visits. They are careful and efficient with my care. It is always quick and thoughtful care that I am given. I feel like an old friend - even sometimes, a part of the family.
My needs at the UFAI are always met.
