Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Dr. Johnson makes it clear that he cares about his patients. That is not true of all doctors. Thank you, Dr. Johnson for your outstanding medical care and for your caring care! : )
Another important point is that now most medical offices dramatically limit the amount of time their doctors can spend with patients so their doctors are always rushed. During both my visits Dr. Johnson was focused but didn't feel pressured to me. He analyzed my foot problem, gave me advice and next steps, and still took time to answer my questions. If UFAI gives their doctors that flexibility, it sure shows and makes a huge difference to your patients!

I was pleased that Dr. Johnson recommended some non-surgical alternatives to try first. He explained clearly what the issue was and made positive suggestions that have made walking much more comfortable.

Dr. Franson is the reason I can still walk. He is professional but engaging. He explains everything and offers options. I have to see him again this week and while I'm not happy I have pain, I am confident he will fix me yet again.

I was so appreciative that I got in rather quickly and that I could remedy my pain as soon as possible. I guess it takes a while for the pain to go completely away, which maybe I didn’t understand.
I appreciate the wrap They made for me which helps a lot!!

I was glad and happy because I met this doctor! I had a problem with my leg, I had several experiences with the treatment of my leg with other doctors, but no one helped me and could not solve my problem!! And just a couple of visits to this doctor my problem was solved! Now I am healthy and can enjoy life!

So far it’s fine. Not amazing as relates fo surgery scheduling. The staff is nice it’s just that it takes days for follow-up, multiple messages etc. from an Oct appt the surgery is 12/10, after delays and rescheduling. Frustrating.

It seems there were errors in submitting referrals - when I didn't receive any I inquired with my PCP with whom I had a physical and they submitted for them.

Also, and not specific to this clinic is the random assignment to referrals within a radius and not the closest provider to the patient's home address.

Also, I was given the DME and no body showed me how to use it, what to feel for, no instructions in terms of what I can and can't do (um, like DRIVE) so this seems to be a gaping hole in the system that requires buttoning up.

I am grateful to have a reliably positive experience with every visit. Dr Briskin has taken excellent care of me and my family for decades and Dr Naei has taken wonderful care of me when Dr Briskin was not available.

I adore Dr Gary Briskin. I have been seeing him for years and would never let anybody else touch my feet. Lol. I have recommended him to all my friends looking for a great Podiatrist. Also, his office is always polite, courteous, and generally on time.
