Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Dr. Franson has a rare blend of clinical expertise and people skills. He actually listens to what you are telling him. He clearly explains the treatment options. Very pleased to have found him. He inspires confidence, treats you like a human being, and the results are terrific.

everyone was very kind and helpful. although paying 71 dollars for taping my toe to the other toe seems a little extreme (this is why i generally dont go to the doctor, this is exactly what it said to do online, but i got worried. Next time i will spend 4 dollars on the tape myself.) I didnt go to my followup appt because i bought my own tape.

Very happy with the attention I received from Dr Baravarian and his entire staff. Received the diagnosis of my foot problem and the remedy. Wait time was minimal, and Dr Baravarian spent as much time as I needed to answer my questions. Very friendly Doctor’s office!!

Dr. Briskin was warm, kind, and simply brilliant. In a matter of seconds, he cut my ingrown toenail, relieving my pain, and ridding my toe of the pain from the infection that had developed. The toe healed very quickly. I can only recommend him and his colleagues at University Foot and Ankle Institute, most heartily and enthusiastically.

grateful for the excellent care. Only thing that wasn't great was that in the appointments the month or so ahead of the bunion surgery when I'd asked about how mobile I'd be I was told I shouldn't have trouble at all moving about, and that maybe, if I needed them, you would get me crutches. I wasn't informed until the pre-op meeting that my foot could not be load bearing at all for 3 weeks and that I'd definitely need a scooter or crutches. Not being able to put any weight on the foot meant that I wouldn't be mobile enough to step up small sets of non-ADA-compliant stairs at work that I need to get up/down several times a week for public events I lead. So I only had 2 days to scramble to get coverage for for those events. Luckily I have a wonderful boss and he happened not to have any travel those weeks, so he could cover. I'm guessing my case may have simply been an oversight - but I hope you are more explicitly clear with others about the level of disability in the first weeks after surgery.

dr. shin and his staff are excellent at what they do. they make me feel welcome and dr. shin is a wonder. he is so sweet and gets to the business of fixing my foot as soon as i walk in the door. i am lucky to have found him.
