Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

I have been seeing dr Franson for my ankle for the past 7 years. He and his staff always go above and beyond to help in any way they can, answer all your questions and are pleasant the whole time. I would definately recommend them.

My feet do not feel normal. I have the beginning of hammer toes and also a burning (nerve???) pain that wakes me at night. I do have pinched nerves in my spine that may be the problem, but I want to make sure that its nothing more serious. My intention is to stop the progression of both and seeking answers as to the cause. Dr B suggested a nerve biopsy and let me wait until he had time to do it that same day. He had a full schedule and squeezed the procedure in. I was very grateful since my drive to your office is lengthy and I had to rent a car for the appt. My followup appt is in a few days.

Doctor and all the staff are great. They took excellent care of me and were very patient and friendly. They helped me feel better fast. I will recommend UFAI to everyone that has foot or ankle problems.

The recommendation of Hoka shoes has turned out well. The stiffer soles prevent pain while walking and extend my mobility prior to more drastic surgery or other remedies.

Of course, then there are my ankle issues and my knees sometimes have similar pain as my big toes while walking down stairs. Luckily, I just returned from a successful ski trip and my knees feel good. So I am still to prevent issues or soften impact with regular exercise... for now.
