Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Dr. Johnson was kind and considerate. He gave us time to ask any and all questions and thoroughly explained all our options as well as the process we will be going through for my upcoming surgery. His staff is wonderful and friendly and provided the necessary information needed for my next steps in this process. I am extremely happy with my care and feel confident moving forward that I will be well taken care of.

Dr. Baravarian was not only very diligent about my procedure (cryo-ablation), and when he received email from me that it did not work, he engaged in multiple emails on a Sunday to discuss alternative next steps and converged into what he thought was the best step -- neuroma excision surgery. He offered to perform it whenever I was ready. My overall confidence in his capability is very good, matched what I've seen on the UFAI website. I'll most likely take this next step although I'm a bit far away, in Santa Barbara. The staff at UFAI is similarly excellent, which is very important because they represent the patient's interface to UFAI. Please continue to do all this great work!

I couldn’t have found a better place , doctor , or staff, to take care of my poor foot!! Everyone is so nice, helpful, and caring. I am so happy to see the results, which I am sure are exactly what I wanted. Many thanks !!!

Wonderful! Dr Franson is amazing! He is so caring and so knowledgeable! My surgery went so well , can’t believe how little pain I have had! Thank you Dr Franson !
Sabrina Drs surgery coordinator was so patient and kind answering all my questions re what I needed to get ready for surgery! Just a great team !

Great X-ray facility. Assistants are knowledgeable. They need to improve their billing system. Not happy with texted receipt for payment of needed equipment. Not printable. I was then billed for same equipment even though I had already paid for it.

Dr Franson is unbelievably professional, caring, thorough, and really takes the time to consider every possibility that might help his patients. I have seen many, many doctors in my lifetime because of chronic health issues, and he stands out as one of the very best. His staff is wonderful also, including the front desk and the nurses working with the Dr. I really can’t say enough positive things to describe this office.

I'm very pleased with Dr Jafary. He did a fabulous job of reconstruction on my foot. I waited too long for the surgery, it should have been done years ago. The arthritis made the foot get so bad I couldn't fit into closed shoes and could only wear sandals. I tripped over uneven cement and fell wearing sandals. Then I realized I needed to get foot surgery. Now I can wear cute safe and comfortable shoes.

Bunion surgery with Dr Franson yesterday, it went great! He was so clear on what the surgery entailed and was so kind and caring about my concerns ! He made sure my pain was gonna be minimal and that he was available if I needed him! Just an all around great Dr. ! Thank you Dr Franson!
