    Dr. Baravarian was incredibly informative and thorough and his expertise revealed a special condition of my injury that another specialist did not see. My favorite part of seeing him is that he specializes in minimal invasive surgeries because who wants to have their leg unnecessarily opened or have a gigantic scar on their leg? Also: he has optional therapies to increase healing but doesn’t pressure you to use them. I opted to do it for the best results though. He also immediately took action to get me scheduled for surgery which showed his commitment to my case and Cheli is amazing in explaining everything. Lastly, I appreciated that he allowed me to ask as many questions that I needed without feeling rushed. All in all, will always come back here for any foot or ankle injuries.

    Over the course of two years, I broke three toes on my right foot. I was referred to University Foot and Ankle Institute by two doctors. Dr. Baravarian is awesome. Totally understood my situation and we discussed his recommendations. He always responds to my questions almost immediately and is a great source for referrals. He treated my feet as if they were his own.

    My only complaint was the length of time I had to wait in the waiting room at the surgery center. Other than that, the nurses were great there.

    My only feedback is for the doctor (Bob) to not ask a patient’s race or ethnicity- found it inappropriate and made me uncomfortable in a closed door room full of men ( I am female).

    Dr Briskin has been a pleasure. He’s very calming & professional.
    He never keeps you waiting and I never feel rushed during our appointments. He is thorough, easy going & caring. As a bonus, his staff is outstanding.

    Although the doctor was understandably busy and spent little time with me, his associate was excellent and the woman who scanned my feet and adjust my orthotics was great! Overall, very happy with my visit.

    Being able to visualize my rigid right big toe via seeing the x-ray was very helpful for me. I could see what the doctor had told me and agree immediately with his assessment Viewing the other x-rays gave me a better understanding of the whole structure of my foot and knowledge of it. This appointment was stress reducing for me and very helpful. I highly recommend the doctor

    This is my one comment. I wish the doctor would have recommended I wear a tennis shoe. I figured this out on my own after wearing an open back shoe for 10 days. It’s hard to get it on but the support is so much better- this was never ever mentioned.
