Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Dr. Kelman is a wonderful doctor. He is caring and professional. He always puts me at ease before and during any procedures of which I’ve had many. Every issue I’ve ever had with my feet, Dr. Kelman has helped to resolve. I would highly recommend Dr. Kelman to my family and friends.

Dr. Briskin was friendly and attentive. His explanation of his diagnosis was easy to understand and the treatment he prescribed worked perfectly. The office staff is nice although a little harried. There were a lot of patients both times I went to the office. However, I never waited over 15 minutes to be seen. I don't know much about the practice so I wouldn't be able to recommend it beyond my very limited experience.

Dr. Baravarian was extremely professional, helpful, and compassionate. I had moderate to severe pain in both feet with walking and standing for years that went misdiagnosed by a number of board certified podiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, and general practitioners. Even after seeing the so-called "best foot doctors" in 3 different major cities in the Southeast, I was told by all that I needed irreversible surgery or a potentially damaging procedure done. Doctor Baravarian not only worked with me from across the country during consultations to help get me on the right track, but also challenged the conclusions of the other doctors and through suggesting MRI's was able to uncover my actual diagnosis via imaging. My progress in recovery with the correct treatment with the right diagnosis skyrocketed after being stagnant for almost 5 years.! As a young, active individual, it was like I got my life back. I highly recommend anyone, whether in the local area, across the country, or anywhere in the world who is not happy with the results they are getting from their doctor treating their foot or ankle condition, or anyone who feels like they are stuck at a dead end and told that surgery is the only option for them, to call Dr. Baravarian and get a second opinion. It was well worth my time and money many times over, and I all but guarantee it will be worth yours too.

Dr. Franson and the UFAI team provided me with outstanding care and service! Dr. Franson is truly one of the best doctors in his field and I would highly recommend him to anyone for foot or ankle surgery. I was so impressed I also used UFAI’s physical therapy services in Valencia for my aftercare needs. They also have a great team of professionals that offer incredible service and care—Thank You UFAI Team for making my surgery and therapy a truly pleasant experience!

Gray has been incredibly supportive, educational and caring with regards to my therapy. I have been progressing incredibly fast and am continuing, at home, with my therapy has he has given me the "tools" to do just that. His assistant, Carolina, has also been a joy to work with - she is, as well, attentive and they both have a great sense of humor which is so appreciated - we laugh, chat and all along get the job done. I'm feeling great! I'm glad that I found UFandAI.

Dr. Briskin is an excellent Podiatrist and his work on my foot was excellent. The staff did not process my copay properly according Unitedhealthcare. I was not to have been charged a copay as I indicated to the staff.
