    Dr. Baravarian is the best. Went to another Podiatrist and wish I hadn't. Now I'm back with Dr. Baravarian.

    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.

    I always recommend Dr B to anyone with a foot issue who has been suffering any kind of foot pain and hasn’t been able to get it properly diagnosed. He has helped my husband and many of my friends.

    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.

    Hubby & I really liked both doctor & assistant. We received direct, accurate, & compassionate answers to our questions. I especially liked the referrals.
    With that said, I do not know how the doctors or facility treat the diabetic foot or fungus, etc. I was not sure if the doctor or assistant examined my foot thoroughly for wounds, dryness, etc because I was more concerned about my husband at the time. They probably did, but I was tired. If the doctor/assistant could look at the patient directly and say, "I am going to exam your foot for wounds, etc. that would be great. Would Like your practice to treat neuropathy rather than chiropractors who are delving into areas they shouldn't. Also, you could have available an orthodic for $75.00 if the ins. co. does not pay for orthodics. My podiatrist does have that and it works well. Better than Dr. Scholls. At least it is something. Don't know where he got the orthodics. We will return for annual foot care. Only disappointment for me was that my hubby did not get orthodics because our insurance changed their policy. We will look into it. Thanks for your devotion to your calling. Mrs. Roberta Bakst

    I have been going here since March of 2017 I had great experience with my doctor and his assistants.
    The last appointment on the 21st of March doctor Bob recommended more therapy and until now I haven’t heard anything.
    On Friday I called to check the operator told me someone will call me and let me know what is going on about my therapy.
    I waited until 3.30pm then I called again the operator told me Maria left. Without calling me so I have no answers I was asked to call on Monday.
    So disappointed.
    I hope I hear soon about my therapy.

    Staff did good job of listening as well as examining. Appointment moved along at a decent speed. I did not spend more than a few minutes waiting at every juncture. Full marks for them finishing up with an acknowledgement that the first solution might not fix the problem but that it was the best way to start.
