Sherman Oaks Patient Testimonials

I am shocked at some of these reviews talking about them requiring a credit card to be on file. Even Cedars keeps my credit card and they bill charge for my deductible. This is how medicine works these days folks.I went here to get my ankle fixed and to end the pain I endured with every friggen step.  This is something  two other surgeons could not do. But Dr. Baravarian said he could and that is exactly what he did. He is a very busy guy, and I understand why, because he is that good. But he gave me the time I needed, had great bedside manner and confidence, which made me feel optimistic about having another surgery.What happened? He fixed my ankle and I can now walk pain free. Six months later I am starting tennis again, something other docs said I would never do again.Thank you Dr. Bob, I am forever grateful.PS.  please charge my credit card for my insurance deductibles as I am too busy living my life again to send you a check! :)

I had a bunionectomy on May 2022. Dr. Bavarian and all his staff at the Sherman Oaks office and at the surgery center in Beverly Hills, are amazing! Professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. My surgery went exceptionally  well. At barely 2 months after the surgery, I'm able to wear some of my regular shoes, and do my 3 mile walks with ease. I'm so grateful and satisfied with the service and attention i received.Thank you again Dr. Bavarian and staff.

You guys are miracle workers. Other podiatrists had "treated" my plantar fasciitis by simply giving me custom insoles and telling me to do stretches, which didn't help much. Dr. Baravarian has a toolbox of innovative treatments that helped me make significant improvements with my plantar fasciitis pain. I will be forever grateful!

It was an informative doctor's visit where I I got good explanations of what my condition was and what I needed to do to treat it which is something that was badly needed. I hadn't ever gotten that before for my foot so I'm grateful for that.

Dr. Bob is an outstanding foot and ankle doctor! He has helped me on multiple occasions including a recent broken ankle. Dr. Bob is the best! Additionally, thank you to all of the staff. Sincerely, Howard.

My first visit seemed rushed and I didn't think I would return. However, I gave it another try and was pleased. Dr. Bob suggested some important modifications in my orthotics. Other podiatrists told me they couldn't help me. My problem continued for decades. Thus far his suggestions are making a difference. I would highly recommend him.

I think this doctor is great I’m an actress and I’ve got a film to do and I was all nervous and speaking over him just telling me to give shots because that’s what some other podiatrist did and he really is knowledgeable and just wanted to help me I was an LPN 20 years ago so that perspective I knew he had a great bedside manner and knew what he was talking about he’s trying to get me an MRI and then will know where to go from there. I thought he was mean at first but he had to be stern with me because I wouldn’t shut up and he really really is a caring Doctor Who knows his stuff. He looked at my feet and knew everything and said I was healing and getting better but he needed an MRI to see the damage to my ankle before he could give me any shots and I completely agree I highly recommend him

My first visit with Dr. Baravarian did not go well because the office was very busy. When I returned he gave me considerable attention and is helping me to deal with a foot problem that I have had over 30 years. Other podiatrists have told me that they could not help me. I believe he will help solve my problem. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Bob (Babak Baravarian) remains the best podiatrist I've ever had! I recommend him to anyone I know having feet problems, as well as people who are having issues and need a new opinion. The office is so helpful, every single person, I'm almost always able to get in to see him within a week (very rare with some doctors!) and I am always so pleased with our visits. He asks about older issues and covers new ones completely. When he can, he looks out for my best financial interest, and helps give advice with the process. I remain in his exceptional care since 2003, he will always be the best. I love recommending him and hearing back how much he helped and what a positive experience my friends have. The very best in my opinion!!! I've had plantar fasciitis now in both feet, loose ankles and sprained ankles, and the shoes he recommends for all lifestyles are spot on. He's also the best bed side manner for me, as I hate needles and I've had a few shots with him. He's so kind and patient. Wonderful doctor and staff I highly recommend!!

Excellent, so far. I had a feeling this was the right place to properly diagnose me, I was right! The staff is friendly and helpful, and my doctor is stellar; knows what he's doing and knows the right path forward. I completely trust that my situation will be rectified in a matter of months, and that my doctor will guide me, take the right steps to get my foot back on track.

I met with quite a few Podiatrists before I chose to have surgery on my foot.  I needed to have corrective surgery from when I broke it 10 years ago.  As soon as I met with Dr Baravarian, I knew that I had met the Dr I wanted to work on my foot.  He explained everything in detail, his assessment was honest, and once I got my surgery done, I was extremely happy with the results.  Him and his associate, Dr Johnson, were both very attentive to me before and after the surgery.  All my follow up visits were pleasant and their staff is also very friendly.  They don't waste your time waiting to be called in for your visit like other doctor office's do.  They are all on top of their jobs.  Thank you for making a nerve-racking experience (the surgery) and pleasant one.  Keep doing what you're doing.  I highly recommend Dr Baravarian's office.

The staff is superb. All of them. Dr. B is super nice and does every thing in his power to help me with my foot problem. Very happy but, not to happy when I have to drive from Glendale to Sta. Monica. But it’s worth it to be treated with care. Gracias
