Dr. Bob Baravarian, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

Everybody was great!! Only one complaint. I called to confirm the kind of shoe Dr. B had recommended. I was told that he would return my call as soon as he came out of his room. No call. I called again and was told that he would call me back really soon. No call. So I trusted my memory and think I got the right shoe. But the "no call" was disappointing since I had been beyond pleased with everything else.

Dr. Baravarian's care was phenomenal. Kaiser wanted to amputate, and now Mr. Feinstein, 91 years old, is walking again.

It was unfortunate that the billing office did not bill Kaiser on the date specifically promised, instead holding it in excess of 30 days, complicating and attenuating settlement of the legal dispute with Kaiser.

During this visit, I felt that Dr Baravarian was in a rush and did not give me his time and attention. He said that I need to wear the boot for two more weeks and that the ankle was not healed yet. His "fellow" came in first and she was quite nice and did not seemed rushed. By the way, she never told me her name. This particular visit was not very satisfying because I was not able to ask any questions and I did not have the doctor's full attention. Thanks

I had high hopes when I drove almost 2-hours to see Dr. Baravarian, based on reading some of his articles in Podiatry Today and elsewhere on the internet. And so far I'm impressed with his scientific approach to figuring out my chronic (20-yr) foot problem. After evaluating my MRI, examining my foot, and performing an ultrasound, he came up with a preliminary diagnosis that no previous podiatrist had considered, and which makes sense to me (heel bursitis). He then told me to try heel cups for 2-weeks and if that helps he will probably prescribe custom orthotics to take weight off of that bursa. I'm very encouraged that he might be able to finally solve this debilitating problem and enable me to walk for exercise again.

Dr B came in, examined my foot, provided a diagnosis, and offered a few solutions. He was approachable and easy to talk to. He made me feel like he was a kick-ass doctor who knew what he was talking about. He did not waste my time nor his. His staff was also nice. Would recommend.
