    My visit was fantastic. I have no complaints all.

    I was told that someone would recommend foot stretches for me to do. But no one ever did. That's my only critique.

    There are only a couple of things I was unhappy with.

    1. I was never told about the option for purchasing a waterproof boot cover until I had failed at using a trash bag. As a result, I had to arrange a ride to the Santa Monica office to rebandage my foot.

    2. The receptionists are not very friendly and therefore give a negative first impression to patients. One of them continually wears her mask under her nose instead of covering it.

    Otherwise, my experience with Dr. Baravarian and his technician as a positive one.

    Dr Jafary is awesome and very thorough. I have no complaints! :) Had stem cell injected into my foot. They allowed me to bring in my husband as I was being a cry baby. Thank you everyone so much! I would refer anyone to this office and Dr Jafary!

    Excellent! Anytime you bring up an issue or a condition and the doctor knows exactly what to do, accurately articulates the length of time for the condition, gives me various choices that I have for solving the issue, tells me the level of percentage of success with each, speaks of the risks and corrects the problem almost to the day, I’m impressed. Furthermore, provides me with things and apparatus that I should use in the future for prevention, that’s icing on the cake. All doing it with care and concern. Well done!

    I liked that he did not insist on an expensive custom boot Medicare would pay for when I did not need it and the ready made one would work. He's a good guy.

    I saw Dr. Kelman: I drive in from San Simeon on the Central Coast and have referred folks to him from here. He and staff have been gracious, professional and very helpful. I trust him and I am very picky when it comes to doctors.

    I have never visited a doctor that was more positive, respectful and competent than the doctor. His name is Dr. Hamed Jafary.

    He has a great bedside manner. He also has confidence that he can solve whatever the problem is. I never felt like he was rushed. It was a great experience.

    I highly recommend.
