Dr. Bob Baravarian, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

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 had quadruple bunion and neuroma surgery November 2017 and I have more pain now than I ever had before the surgery. I followed all post op instructions. I went to physical therapy. Dr. Baravarian says my feet look “perfect” in the X-ray but what good is that when my feet hurt so much!?

I asked for an application or whatever I needed to get a temporary disabled parking placard. I was told sure, but both the front desk and I forgot by the time I was given my paperwork and follow-up appointment. That was the only thing not perfect. But I was very happy with my overall experience and the care I received, as well as having my questions answered.

I feel it’s better to give patients details of what was done. I got vague details & had to ask at follow up appts, e.g. #of hardware &where, after surgery foot cleanliness, (I had blisters entirely cover bottom of foot n kids all the skin, the smell was embarrassing) what to expect at 2wk intervals to give patient hope in healing and realistic expectations that it’s a long post surgery healing sp patience is needed. At 10 weeks I can finally walk on my foot with a supportive shoe.

Very informative staff. Very helpful staff they always make sure my message is passed on to the doctor. The doctors always makes sure we understand everything. Messages are always returned quickly whether it is by phone call or email.

Dr. Baravarian has provided wise counsel and concrete surgical solutions to my foot problems for more than a decade. If my current problem (right foot/painful lump) doesn't correct itself, I trust he will do whatever is necessary--or, at the least, will explain my options. A definite "10"! Thank you.

When I first met Dr. Baravarian, before my surgery, I was impressed with his professionalism and expertise, however the last couple of times I've seen him, my consultation lasted less than 5 minutes, he seemed very busy both times, and I felt rushed.

Kaiser had informed us that the wounds on our 90 year old's ankle/foot would never heal, and one predicted amputation. Dr. Baravarian's clinical assessments, frequent monitoring, and nimble changes in treatment when necessary have resulted in nothing short of miracle to our family. In just 6 months, one wound is completely healed, and the second nearly so.
And everyone's been patient explaining everything to us, answering our questions, and providing written orders for the skilled nursing facility and now home health agencies. Our profound gratitude.
