Santa Monica Podiatry Clinic Patient Testimonials

I didn’t like dr. Bavarian attitude, he was late 40 min. And hardly talked to me for one min.
But I did liked dr. Briskin , which gave me a lot of time and explained me the problem with my foot, he was wonderful

Dr. Briskin and his staff are top notch. He believed that something was STILL wrong with my broken foot when no one else would. Everyone from Dr. Briskin, to the receptionist make you feel important and heard. Can not recommend them enough.

And the physical therapists across the hall literally helped me walk pain free again. Gray and his magic hands are AMAZING. Both Gray and Tamra especially are the kindest and talented physical therapists EVER. They are personally invested in your recovery. Would absolutely recommend them over and over. I am actually a little sad that I am recovered enough to not have to see them anymore.

I can never thank them all enough.

My first appointment went great. Glad I followed through with making an appointment and going in. My experience with other podiatrist and their staff have been awful. Glad I experienced what real care is for my foot.

I appreciated Dr. Briskin's knowledge of my condition. I have been to several other podiatrists, and none of them were able to diagnose what was wrong with my foot. Although I am not looking forward to the remedy, which will require a surgery, I am glad I found your practice and that you are able to take care of it.
Thank you, Joyce Tyler

Doc said I was “fine” but I qualified for bunion study. Confused, Tried to ask about exercises & was told one I demoed was “for arch.” Well ok I think I have flat feet, so should I do it? Are ther other exercise I could do?

The nurse is very informative & pleasant but the visits with the doctor are very brief. I mentioned ankle pain to him once, but was ignored.
Generally a good experience with the exception of the 1st time I was injected.
Apparently the device was wired incorrectly so they had to re-insert the needle which was very painful. Seemed the doctor was confused as to how the mistake happened or was trying to point blame on the nurse which was a little uncomfortable… why didn't he know exactly how it was to be wired?

I am annoyed that I can get the toe fungus lacquer and cream more cheaply on the internet and you charged me full price. I was even more annoyed when I found out it was YOUR website. This should be rectified.

I mentioned I was experiencing pain in my foot to the technician who takes out my stitches. I noted that the pain was specific to my third toe & that I noticed bleeding from underneath the bandages. The technician said the doctor would probably look at it.

The doctor came into the exam room, noted my X-rays looked good, asked if I was experiencing any pain. I replied yes. He expressed surprise & after looking at my foot, he rebandaged it. The doctor told me I could now wash my foot, showed me how to wrap my toes & sent me on my way.

I went home still experiencing pain & the next day decided to examine my foot now that I was allowed to clean my foot & wrap it myself. I discovered a large bloody ulcer at the base of toe #3 between toes 3 and 4. I decided to wash the ulcer daily with hydrogen peroxide and apply neosporin and a bandaid before re-wrapping my foot. 3 weeks later it is still not fully healed and I will ask the doctor to look at this
