Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

My whole experience was positive. The office staff were very friendly. The wait times were minimal. The doctor and the doctors staff were very professional. My problem was quickly diagnosed and treated effectively. I would not hesitate to refer family and friends.

The appointment was made via the online form and I was surprised to get a call after hours for appointment scheduling. That was a nice efficiency with their system.

The time to get in the office was quick , the staff was lovely and the doctor was great. He was sincere and engaging.

The scan I did for an orthopedic insert was ridiculously easy ( wow technology ) and Checkout was a breeze.

I would recommend the Valencia office and Dr. Hamad Jafary to anyone.

Most of my experience has been with the physical therapy guy, Gray O'Brian, who is very good. My visit with Dr. Baravarian was very brief and I'm still waiting for the promised orthopedics to come in before I see hi again.

The staff and Dr Johnson were friendly prompt and professional. Very much appreciated Dr Johnson and his slow approach to addressing my foot pain. I don’t want to jump to therapy and his suggestions to try different options before we go to surgery is much appreciated. Nice calm atmosphere in the office too.

I am beyond impressed by this office. From the kind and welcoming front desk to the doctors themselves, this place was an amazing experience. I went in to see Dr. Jaffary yesterday due to excessive pain on the bottom of my left foot. I had been to previous podaitrists before, and each one had walked in for a few minutes, made a quick diagnosis, and quickly walk out of the room before I was able to ask any questions. My experience with Dr. Jaffary was the exact opposite. His bedside manner is some of the best I have ever seen from a healthcare professional. He not only gave me an accurate diagnosis, clear treatment plan, and ordered additional diagnostic imaging, but most of all, he listened to all of my concerns. For almost an entire hour, he kept checking in on me, offering different ways to ease the pain in my foot, until the orthotics I ordered were received. Rest assured, you will not find a better podiatrist around. Dr. Jaffary, thank you for an incredible experience!

I've been seeing Dr Briskin for a few months in the treatment of plantar fasciitus. I've nearly recovered and I greatly appreciate the time and care he took to explain things to me and put me a great treatment recovery plan. I highly recommend him.

I've been seeing Dr. Baravarian as needed for various foot problems for over 20 years now.  It's very reassuring to know that for any issue which arises with my feet, I know exactly who to see.   He has given me great advice and treatment over the years.  He's a great podiatrist and I am happy to know him as "my" podiatrist.  He listens and explains things thoroughly and in an easy to understand manner.  He spots walking imbalances and their cause on sight and relates them to their affect on the rest of the body.  He is very knowledgeable and has a very pleasant manner.  I highly recommend this doctor.
