Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Dr. Redkar is very proactive, which I both like and need for my multiple foot problems. I feel well taken care of by her and her attentive staff. She listens to my questions and answers them. Her staff are all nice people, and responsive.

It was a pretty basic visit, got a quick diagnosis, everything was fine. I did notice that the x-ray technician wasn't particularly engaged and was on a phone call while he was setting up my x-ray. I don't expect first class service or anything but it did seem like he could have paid more attention to what he was doing instead of being on the phone ;)

I love Dr.K and the staff is always very sweet. Though, at my last appt., there seemed to be a lot of tension in the office. (nurses weren't bringing stuff to the doctor and instead just talking to each other) but other than that it was great!

I had some reservations with the therapist being the only one to do the therapy because of Medicare. After the start only a week into therapy she was out for
a week which in my case put me behind 2 visits and then when I had only 1 more visit she wanted to just forget it. I felt like I didn't matter, I wish I could of had a straight 6 weeks with 2 visits a week. As of now I'm still not confident with my progress, also some times I felt ignored during therapy. It seemed other patients got more attention, women mostly. It's just the way I feel, sorry
other then that I like the Doctor and the expert treatment I got.

Dr. Franson is the only podiatrist I will see. He is so personable and such a caring doctor. I always feel like he makes time for me and my family. His scooter was a lifesaver when my mom broke her heel. He is a fabulous doctor, very skilled, and always performs high quality care. Highly recommend!!

The evaluation of my foot condition was very helpful. DR. Briskin helped me to understand both the surgical options for treatment as well as the practical adjustments to make walking easier and less painful. I came to him for a 2nd opinion and will return to him for surgery when that becomes necessary.

This place is a mess. I had a really bad physical therapist here once. She made my feet worse. Meanwhile, Dr. Baravarian spends about 45 seconds with patients. It's not just me - my family says the same. He's very quick to prescribe surgery and doesn't seem interested in non-surgical approaches. The administrative staff is apathetic, they don't communicate with each other, and they've messed up my appointments and/or the doctor's orders at least twice.
