Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Hello,

I've been inquiring about a billing issue since January. I've spoken to someone six times regarding this issue, (three times in the office and three times with your billing department.), with no resolve. Your billing office could use some help.

Otherwise, the care has been great.

Thank you,
Marie Longworth

Dr. Renkar Was really wonderful doctor. She was attentive, patient and kind. She attended to my foot infection right away and treated it. I had a lot of anxiety and she relieved all my concerns with her good bedside manner. I was healing in no time with her medical attention and guidance. I highly recommend her. I am so grateful to have such a great podiatrist.

I am 72 years old and had double foot surgery in March. I am walking 1 1/2 miles a day, including doing half of it backwards for therapy. I plan to be back to running in a month or 2. My surgeries were very successful.

Thank you Dr Bob

I hope to have another appointment with Dr. Baravarian since the issue with my foot has not been resolved. I am setting up an appointment for acupuncture and will be back in touch with the office after I discover the results of that treatment. Thankyou. Jacqueline Craven

I have noticed a change in staff over the last 5 months. many left who were also students learning on the job. Now most appear not to be students in training but long experienced assistants with Dr. Baravarian, my doctor. The care is much better now because these workers are experienced and have worked with the doctor for years. I do understand people need training on the job but the delivery of care and expertise was not on the same level as it is now. Previously, I had an appointment in March, and someone didn't show up for work and they were understaffed and I was asked to reschedule.

Great Dr's, receptionists, and Dr's assistants and MRI techs. They helped me a lot. Good to have 2 offices one in Sherman Oaks and one in Santa Monica. That way the Valleyites don't have to travel so far.

I went on a hiking trip in Seattle and got a wood sliver deep in my foot from a walk on the beach. After 2 weeks of event work and continued infection, I saw a general MD but he insisted I see a podiatrist. That same day I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Redkar in Beverly Hills. After days of worry and anxiety, she was able to fully treat me that same day. She was kind and truly relieved all my medical concerns. She did a small procedure and ordered antibiotics and I was on my way to healing. I also had a follow up visit with at her Olympic blvd. The staff at UFAI were all friendly and helpful at both offices. Plus, the cost of services was affordable. Dr. Redkar was wonderful and has a great bedside manner. I highly recommend her. If you have any issues regarding your feet, this is the place to go. Big thanks to Dr. Redkar! I am back to my everyday yoga practice.

Dr. Franson is a great podiatrist and doctor. The office is super friendly they always have just the right treatment for what I need. I highly recommend this practice our whole family has been coming here and had nothing but good results.

My heel pain is back but not quite as intense as before. I don't want to get another Cortisone shot though, as the shot was much more painful than the heel pain. I'd rather live limping than go through that again. If my heel gets progressively worse I'll give the doctor a call.
