Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

You guys are phenomenal in every way. Your office is like clock work, so professional and on top of everything. Everyone is so incredibly friendly and helpful -- from the surgery coordinator, to the surgery center and the doctors office in Sherman Oaks. Dr. Baravarian is an amazing doctor -- I always feel like I'm in great hands. I'm lucky that I got to do both of my bunion surgeries with him.

Dr. Franson is very compassionate, he really listens and explains things with great detail, as well as answers your questions very thoroughly. I have recommended him to friends as well as strangers who inquired about my condition, who have similar symptoms. In addition, his staff is awesome, always very friendly, patient and definitely helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Franson and his staff. They also have a Physical Therapy Dept, in house and their staff is equally impressive.

Everyone there at that office are the best. All kind and understanding about my concerns. Dr. Feldman assisted Dr. Kelman at my surgery. He was very nice and took the time to introduce himself to me before surgery.

The doctor and staff was friendly, but the Sherman oaks waiting room was overcrowded and the dr never spent more than 4 minutes with me. He seemed annoyed when I asked questions or wanted more details about my condition.

All of the staff and doctors were very helpful and informative. Scheduling surgery could not have been easier it was a seamless process. Visiting the office during Covid, their procedures were top notch. I felt safe and secure before, during and after my office visit.

Checking in can be difficult. When you call, the number goes straight to voicemail with no instruction to knock on the door.
However, the staff and doctor personable and welcoming. My daughter was very nervous, but I'm glad she was able to get the care she needs.
