Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

I trusted the doctor and believed his diagnosis and recommendations. However, I felt rushed. If I hadn’t asked specific questions and for a specific diagnosis I don’t think I would’ve understood his conclusions.

Dr Baravarian and the team at UFAI are simply the best. I am 53 and very active. I had surgery to reduce a bone spur that impinged the flexibility of my big toe and repair the damage to the joint, which made running impossible and walking for long periods very painful. The recovery and healing were absolutely pain free; the entire process was "text book" and I am walking and feeling better than anytime in the last 4 years and fully expect to be hiking, skiing, cycling and running in the next few weeks. You can't find a more qualified team that is more focused on your needs, perfect treatment and your comfort.

When moving to this area 4 years ago I went to two other podiatrists, Dr Franson is the best. Very professional and thorough in his examination and treatment. The staff is also very friendly and courteous.

Since Dr. Franson adjusted the inserts, the pain is gone. However, those shoes from the "Running Store" seem worse. Now they keep throwing me off balance and I am afraid of falling when I walk. I have put the inserts back in my tennis shoes and no pain, plus much more stable on my feet.
