    All was good about the treatment, but I was very upset when I was billed more than $700, and I found out that this location was not in-network in my PPO health plan even though your other locations were, and even though I was asked if I wanted to go to this new location by your staff and even though I was told by the doctor that I had already surpassed my deductible for the year -- a lot of confusion. Blue Shield somehow got this straightened out, thank goodness.

    Dr Briskin always makes me feel at ease and is patient with all my questions. His staff is professional and helpful. The gentleman who makes the molds for the orthotics has the touch.

    I like that Dr. Briskin is honest and straight to the point. The staff are nice and helpful. However Cheli failed to send the info about the approximate amount for my surgery. And nobody advice me in advance that there is a $250 deposit. In the future this would be so helpful for a client, so we know what to expect (financial wise).

    Don't like on the spot charges as you leave office. Billing preferred. Overpayment due to uncalculated insurance payments is unfair to patient. (But great for you).

    DR. GARY. B AND ALL THE STAFF ARE UPBEAT, VERY PROFESSIONAL, CLEAN AND AS WELL ADJUSTED AS ANY MEDICAL STAFF I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. I'M AGE 59 AND HAD 3 SPINAL SURGERIES OVER 20 YEARS AND I KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT THE "MEDICAL EXPERIENCE" IN OUR GENERALLY, FAILING MEDICAL WORLD... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !

    Last week I was in LA for work and I stumbled over a curb. Aside from the embarrassment, I sprained my ankle. I thought it was just a little sprain but the next day it was really sore, really purple and hurt like hell.

    I called UFAI and they got me in the same day. Amazing! I saw Dr. Briskin and what a lovely man! He did xrays and it turned out I really did screw up my ankle. I had to get back to Palm Desert the next day so he gave me a walking boot, ice pack and exact instructions for care. He also gave me a personal reference for physical therapy in the desert.

    It was a great experience, except for hurting myself, of course. I'll be back in LA next week and will get my checkup with Dr. Briskin. I trust him, and to me that means a lot.

    The only thing is I wasn't told how long I should wear the ankle brace. Aside from that everything was great. Dr. Brisken was great a giving me a choice of two local PT places.

    I am very happy with the care I receive from UAFI and Dr. Briskin. They have taken very good care of my foot and provided me the ability to continue normal every day activities even while healing.

    when the billing statement comes out to my residence there is not enough time
    to wait for me to send payment they call to remind me you owe money you have a balance, what is the urgency, it is not professional to remind a patient about
    payment the patient is aware of her balance. That is the only thing wrong with
    this office, it is always about $$$$

    My husband recommended Dr. Briskin to consult about my foot. I'm glad I went. I like Dr. Briskin, he is honest and straight to the point. I'm glad he gave his honest opinion before proceeding with my surgery. It help a lot and decided not to proceed at this time.

    The staff are nice and easy to deal with. They have free WiFi and parking ticket validation.

    The reason why I only gave them four star, I wish they are more informative and efficient when it comes to providing every details and steps that I needed to know prior to surgery. This is what's missing on their part or at least needs improvement. The lack of initiative unless you asked.

    So make sure you prepare all the questions you have in mind when consulting with Dr. Briskin, and the staff.
