Dr. Bob Baravarian, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

The front desk could have been more friendly and the doctor has a tendency to rush me whenever I come in. Not a very warm and welcoming office. I am an Optometrist and my office is well known for its warmth and smiles.

Good, the doctor was very honest about the care and procedure. I'm just disgusted that Medicare won't cover the simple relatively expensive surgery. Instead I need to go monthly to have the more pricey in the long t run procedure done. Stupid!

From the moment my Primary doctor referred you to me for a foot injury (2 broken toes). The initial call, scheduled appointment, X-ray, doctors consultation and diagnosis, nurse fitting my foot with a boot, and finally scheduling a follow up appointment… Everything went smooth and seamlessly in a timely manner. All the personnel, nurses and doctor were professional, knowledgeable and pleasantly friendly. I so appreciate the wonderful service I received!

I have already recommended you to a friend and colleague.

Thank you… and I will see you in 3 weeks for follow up appointment.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with Dr. Baravarian’s work. A few years ago, he performed surgery on my toe. He is now helping me with a foot problem and suggested that I try physical therapy first to see if that corrects the issue. The physical therapist, Gray O’Brien, is also very, very good.

I always tell people who are having foot-related problems how good Dr. Baravarian is and suggest that they contact him.

Dr Bob and his associates were a pleasure to work with.  I had tarsal tunnel syndrome and plantar fasciitis surgery on my right foot because walking was painful and I was unsteady.   I'm so glad I found Dr Bob and am thankful for his expertise and experience.  I also want to give a shoutout to JMP Physical Therapy, who Dr Bob recommended.  Everyone on my "team" has been great!

The whole Operation is first rate.

The staff is very attentive and helpful and kind.
His training is expansive, awesome and inspiring.
His training and experience are awesome and reassuring.
Dr. B. is a GREAT Dr.
He is also a very kind, caring and special person.

My only minor complaint is the fees I have to pay upfront. I know my insurance will cover everything, yet I still have to pay upfront, then untangle everything later. I know some people lie or don't pay their bills, so I get it, but it's still an annoyance to me. Front desk person at the window was not super cheerful and friendly. Seemed like she assumed I was lying about my fantastic insurance or willingness to pay my bill. I do have a clean track record with the office. Anyway, everyone else was fantastic....Dr., nurse, Cheli....all wonderful!

Dr. Bob's skilled & knowledgeable. Sharp & in tuned with my ailment.

While not every patient is the same, believe me, Dr. Bob's your guy if you've got a Morton's Neuroma and wish to avoid surgery. He's the only one in L.A. who treats MN they way he does, and if you've got a MN trust me, THIS is your guy.

Since I've got characters left, I'll tell you why. I had a MN & due to a slip & fall accident, became intolerable. I couldn't even tie a sneaker. Surgery snips nerves & I'd rather have my nerves & body in tact, so I rejected cutting anything. UFAI offered an alternative other podiatrists didn't offer or recommend; cryosurgery. The basic idea is to freeze the nerve, break up tissue around the MN & send the nerves back to their home.

I waited 10 months, as the machine he works with was out for repair. So, I waited. And it was well worth waiting. After two surgeries/ treatments, I can say, this is working. I may need another round, I'll know on my follow up. Also, I've got an amazing physical therapist working with me (on this & other pains,) & with these 2 treatments, the MN's dissipating.

I can't recommend Dr. Bob & UFAI enough. No doubt, I'd travel far & wide for this guy.

The ankle brace has helped tremendously. I can now walk around easier.
However any long walks I must use walking sticks, even then the ankle will hurt a lot.
I am not back to the mobility or ability I had the day before I hurt my ankle.
This has put my career in crisis -how can I return to work if I can’t walk right? I am very concerned that I may have to retire early and find a sit down career.
I hope to continue a dialogue with Dr Baravarian on what can be done to improve my chances to recover.
Thank you William Acedo

You need to be prepared to have all questions answered. Visits are very quick sometimes and you’re out the door before you know it.
Love the fact that Dr B answers all your questions on email.
Staff is great

Dr Bob is simply amazing.  No one else has been able to solve my Achilles tendinitis which was so very painful for a year.  He is patient, and very knowledgeable.  Great bedside manner!  My pain is virtually gone!!

I turned my DI portion in the SM office ( I live on the other side of the hill)
Last month, and was concerned that I’ve not received any disability checks from EDD. When I called the office to ask about the disability account number I was told that they didn’t have it so it’s been a month now with no disability money, and I have to take care of that the 15th of this month when I come back in for a check up. I’m not sure what happened,But it makes it tough to dip into my savings.
