    I was seen right away, cared for thoughtfully and professionally by both Dr. Baravarian and his colleague.

    I have seen the doctor three times. I thought the staff were excellent--attentive, informative, knowledgeable. The doctor seemed hurried and did not fully explain what I could expect as the result of my treatment. I did not feel he was listening fully to my concerns. I felt more dismissed than reassured. Also, the automated appointment reminder needs work. When leaving a message, it gives the appointment date/time right at the beginning before the phone actually starts recording. It would be helpful to repeat the appointment date/time at the end.

    The only negative, and very minor, is the telephone reminder setup. One has to listen to the entire message before having the option to respond. That's a lot of waiting when hearing the same message 3 times for each appointment.

    Not only am I very happy with the way my foot has healed because of his excellent treatment, I found his email responses helpful and comforting!

    Been using them for years. Would not have done so if
    I didn't think they were good. The doctors, the support staff
    and the front desk make it comfortable to go there.

    Very professional, efficient and competent staff. Appointment times and making needed appointments have been easy and very good. My experience with the doctor was excellent - ongoing treatment needed, so let's hope all clears up.

    UFAI has such a high level of care that I wouldn’t even consider going to another foot surgeon, and I have travel across the country for my UFAI appointments.

    This doctor did what none previous had done: He noted a condition; had it tested; and reported back that no intervention seemed necessary. Why didn't the predecessor(s) take this precaution?

    Everyone was very nice. The staff was professional. The doctor was great. My only hesitation is that my calluses were back within 10 days and that’s the original reason I came in. I’m happy with my orthotics but wish there was something I could do for the calluses. Thank you.
