Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

It seems like the front desk people are working on a lot of other things besides being attentive to patients. I get it, but you cant do billing and be attentive to patients. A biller should be given their own office.

A few months after my plantar fasciitis diagnosis, I was referred to this office for a consult.  After meeting with Dr. Jafary on a few occasions to treat the plantar fasciitis; I extremely grateful upon each visit and have began my journey to full recovery.  Dr. Jafary goes above and beyond and I highly recommend this office to anyone experiencing any kind of foot related issue.  Thank you Dr. Jafary and UFAI for all you have done for me.

Everyone always gives friendly, caring, clear information and try to eliminate wait time. Dr. Brisken and all the staff have great energy and the atmosphere is fun, pleasant, professional. Nice music too. Thanks to you all!

Dr. Kelman was very nice and followed thru on research regarding the
issue of my disjointed toe and called me to give me information that
might help solve the problem. I didn’t expect him to do that and I was very impressed that he took the time and then called me with the information. I have not yet had the opportunity to follow through, but I will.

Dr Balbandian and her staff comes highly recommended. University Foot and Ankle Institute (UFAI) and their surgeons are highly skilled and friendly, yet professional and give the best care and treatment. I travel to see her and have continued for the past two and a half years from out of state...that should say alot! Thank you Dr Balbandian and UFAI for always taking care of my needs and continued care!

Dr. Jafary was excellent in his ability to put you at ease, lay out all options and recommendations, and make himself available to his patients. I fractured my toe and went on Yelp to see who was good in my area.  I completely based my contact with his office on Yelp reviews.  I was not disappointed.  Very thankful for pointing me in the right direction.  He recommended I do bunion surgery while fixing my fractured toe and I had another procedure to help with plantar fasciitis pain that I didn't even know existed.  I am using crutches as well as an awesome knee scooter "JustGo" his partner created, its a pretty impressive machine.  Surgery 12/3/20, still healing, and I can see improvements every couple of days.  Thank you Dr. Jafary!!!!
