Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Very difficult to reach by phone (get overnight message after opening time, long holds, disconnects, no response to voicemails EVER but auto long phone message reminders which do't record well to my voicemail--I just get the part of if I am a new patient bring blah blah, not the date or time.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience here. Specially with Dr Jafary. He is great always answered all my questions and made sure I felt confident that everything was going to be ok with my foot. My surgery was fast and my recovery has been great so far. Im glad I stumbled across their website when looking for an orthopedic.
I fully recommend Dr Jafary and his team at UFAI

My diagnosis for painful abrasion between my big toe and 2nd toe needs to be cared for by me protecting it with soft pads I am told. My husband, Edward Burgess who had a joint appointment with me was very pleased that Dr Redkar was able to severely trim his thick large toe nail which has bothered him. Like me though the corn like discomfort he feels on the sole of his foot continues.

All interactions with staff, physician and assistants were very pleasant. I think that laying out the whole plan for recovery (time schedule, footwear required, therapy) up front would be good. It was all briefly mentioned ahead of time but not with details. So I was surprised that a shoe with a specific type of rigid sole was recommended during the transition from the boot. It would be good to know that before surgery. The shoe ended up being an excellent idea, but prior knowledge would be better.

This week is my 3 month post-op week. All footwear with arch support and cushioning seem to work ok. Other footwear like a flat loafer, not so much. The nerve problem in my foot is gone, but the foot is still recovering. Walking more than 3 miles or so causes my whole foot to be fatigued and achy, and that fatigue travels up my leg. I will continue to work at it.

Dr. Baravarian is truy an amazing skilled surgeon who has a fantastic straight forward attitude, both honest and caring. He always listened to what I had to say and included me in the decision process for my situation. He's truly a great guy and exceptional physician and I feel so fortunate to have him. He has a great sense of humor and makes his patients feel special! Thank You sooo much Dr. Baravarian for getting me through this difficult surgery #grateful

When I first came as a patient I filled out the form to request I be contacted by email and NOT by telephone. But you kept calling me anyway about appointments. If the option to opt out of calling exists then it should be followed
