Santa Monica Podiatry Clinic Patient Testimonials

Dr. Carter fixed what 2 other surgeons failed to do. Removing metal, and actually cleaning up the cartilage and ligament damage. Whereas the surgeons before hand left me immobilized and only took care of the bone break. Bones heal, but the ligaments and what not need serious treatment right off the bat. Luckily I was helped. Only issue is that now when I touch the entry point of the scope, I get an electric spark throughout my foot. So maybe some minor surface level nerve damage.

This is for Dr. Carter and his office staff. Prior to my appointment, all of his staff was knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly. Dr. Carter has a great bedside manner and completely put me at ease about my procedure and future treatments. Thanks so much!

My son had a recent surgery there and I cant say enough about the level of professionalism and client service.  The Doctor (Dr. Carter) was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and his response time to questions was faster than any other Doctor we have dealt with.  He was extremely kind and patient with my son who has a rare neurological disability which makes it difficult to communicate with him.  Dr, Carter was flawless and worked with my son to make him comfortable.  Everyone in the office who I encountered was kind, professional and patient with my many questions.  I highly recommend them.  Five star service!

Dr Carter was the most attentitive doctor I have ever had. He is very personable and knowledgeable. He was responsive on emails and every question or concern I had was answered promptly. Overall good experience.

The only problem was not being told by the doctor or surgery scheduler that if i need an implant in my foot that my insurance would not cover it. I only found our 4 days begore my surgery from the surgery center ,not the office, that it would cost me $3,200 if i got the implant. This should have been told to me from day one before i scheduled the surgery

I have worked with several of the Doctors at UFAI. Not only are they knowledgeable and professional, they are also great listeners and compassionate about a patient’s concerns. In addition, the support staff are amazing! Thank you, UFAI, for providing me with opportunities to correct my foot issues!!
