Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

I have been a patient here for many years. The doctors , nurses , and thew staff are wonderful. They treat you with respect and truly care about the patients. I have already recommended them to my father , mother, and friends who have already been in the office to get care. THANK YOU for all the great care.

Seems like Dr Baravarian is a miracle worker! Walked into his office with pain, left his office pain free! Amazing!!
He is the perfect combination of a great Dr., very knowledgeable in his field and a superior bedside manner!
His staff is very friendly and helpful. You know they say it starts at the top, and Dr B is tops!!!
So happy I did my homework and chose Dr Baravarian.

My second appointment felt like a waste of my time and my money. I like this office and my doctor but the fact that he did not study my CT Scan in detail prior to my arrival (and has yet to do so to my knowledge over a week later) is concerning to me. It leaves my family and I in limbo by not knowing exactly how my future surgery will impact us. I feel comfortable with this doctor but would have rather waited an extra day or week and gotten a more meaningful visit as opposed to what felt like an unnecessary physical exam and a quick look at my CT scan.

Dr. John Chan (and the staff of Dr. Stephen Schwartz) have been there for me probably 10-20 years, with outstanding service in the world of podiatry. My thanks to Dr. Schwartz for providing this quality medical environment; and to Dr. Chan for being the first-rate physician he is.

Dr Franson did an outstanding job reviewing my foot “issues” and the options available. I trust his judgement and really appreciate his pleasant, conversational approach to his patients. Very grateful for his help!

The Sherman Oaks location is distressed and out dated. The white doors in the exam rooms are dirty and the entire place feels old and unsanitary. Not an appropriate location. You need to upgrade to a new building or should consider another location altogether like Calabasas, Westlake Village or Thousand Oaks. There are several new beautiful medical facilities there.
