    My feet and toes were very sore. He was very careful in cutting my nails. He explained everything he did.

    Dr. Franson and all of the team at UFAI always provide me with the best care and Dr. Franson is an incredible surgeon. So grateful I found you all.

    The appointment was made via the online form and I was surprised to get a call after hours for appointment scheduling. That was a nice efficiency with their system.

    The time to get in the office was quick , the staff was lovely and the doctor was great. He was sincere and engaging.

    The scan I did for an orthopedic insert was ridiculously easy ( wow technology ) and Checkout was a breeze.

    I would recommend the Valencia office and Dr. Hamad Jafary to anyone.

    Most of my experience has been with the physical therapy guy, Gray O'Brian, who is very good. My visit with Dr. Baravarian was very brief and I'm still waiting for the promised orthopedics to come in before I see hi again.

    The staff and Dr Johnson were friendly prompt and professional. Very much appreciated Dr Johnson and his slow approach to addressing my foot pain. I don’t want to jump to therapy and his suggestions to try different options before we go to surgery is much appreciated. Nice calm atmosphere in the office too.

    The front office is very friendly and helpful. Dr Briskin takes his time, makes sure to ask all pertinent questions and is thorough in his assessment. I've been coming for years and highly recommend.

    I am beyond impressed by this office. From the kind and welcoming front desk to the doctors themselves, this place was an amazing experience. I went in to see Dr. Jaffary yesterday due to excessive pain on the bottom of my left foot. I had been to previous podaitrists before, and each one had walked in for a few minutes, made a quick diagnosis, and quickly walk out of the room before I was able to ask any questions. My experience with Dr. Jaffary was the exact opposite. His bedside manner is some of the best I have ever seen from a healthcare professional. He not only gave me an accurate diagnosis, clear treatment plan, and ordered additional diagnostic imaging, but most of all, he listened to all of my concerns. For almost an entire hour, he kept checking in on me, offering different ways to ease the pain in my foot, until the orthotics I ordered were received. Rest assured, you will not find a better podiatrist around. Dr. Jaffary, thank you for an incredible experience!

    I've been seeing Dr Briskin for a few months in the treatment of plantar fasciitus. I've nearly recovered and I greatly appreciate the time and care he took to explain things to me and put me a great treatment recovery plan. I highly recommend him.

    I've been seeing Dr. Baravarian as needed for various foot problems for over 20 years now.  It's very reassuring to know that for any issue which arises with my feet, I know exactly who to see.   He has given me great advice and treatment over the years.  He's a great podiatrist and I am happy to know him as "my" podiatrist.  He listens and explains things thoroughly and in an easy to understand manner.  He spots walking imbalances and their cause on sight and relates them to their affect on the rest of the body.  He is very knowledgeable and has a very pleasant manner.  I highly recommend this doctor.

    It's strange to say about medical appointments, but I always find a visit to your Westlake office to be uplifting. The office itself as well as the support staff are always bright and cheery. And of course the most important part is the quality of the care and it's always first rate.

    One last thing, I've been there several times and have not waited more than 5 - 10 minutes to be taken care of. Respect for the patients' time is important but rarely found in the medical profession.

    I'm frustrated as the orthotics that were made for me were made very poorly and had to be sent back after only wearing for a couple of days. I was told it would be a rush and take couple of weeks. It's looking at more like a month, as I they haven't been completed.
