Patient Reviews of University Foot and Ankle Institute

Dr. Franson is a very professional doctor and I am very satisfied how he handles my medical care. The staff at the front desk are very pleasant and greets me by my first name before I even get to the counter. Very pleased!

Everyone in the office are fantabulous and Dr Franson is an amazing surgeon and has very good bedside manners. I highly recommend this group for any of your foot or ankle needs!
Thanks for keeping me on my feet!!!

Dr. Briskin was always available for treatment or to answer any of my numerous questions. He took his time and was always pretty clear. Physical therapy was also very good. It is not easy finding a good team and I am grateful for the team's help and support.

Being able to visualize my rigid right big toe via seeing the x-ray was very helpful for me. I could see what the doctor had told me and agree immediately with his assessment Viewing the other x-rays gave me a better understanding of the whole structure of my foot and knowledge of it. This appointment was stress reducing for me and very helpful. I highly recommend the doctor

I was extremely nervous prior to the appointment for an uncomfortable procedure. The anticipation was FAR worse than the treatment. Dr. Avakian was very kind, gentle and patient ensuring I was  comfortable and without pain. I will definitely return for all my podiatry needs, and refer others as well.   Thank you for such a positive experience!!

I'm posting this literally an hour after my most recent appointment with Dr. Briskin. I've had a solid wart in my right heel for several years and none of the prior treatments I've had did the trick. This office didn't accept my insurance but I was desperate to relieve this excruciating pain so I paid for all of my visits to this office. Let me just say that this is by far the BEST treatment I've EVER gotten on my foot and I'm super grateful for the care that Dr. Briskin and his medical staff showed me. Much love and blessings.

My experience at UFAI was , has and still is a perfect example of how all medical visits should be . No not just medical but any and all services of any kind should be . From scheduling my first appointment to contact with receptionist, assistant to Dr. Justin Franson , DPM .True fact , I feel very fortunate to being blessed by these wonderful healers. True fact, thank you UFAI .

The staff is superb. All of them. Dr. B is super nice and does every thing in his power to help me with my foot problem. Very happy but, not to happy when I have to drive from Glendale to Sta. Monica. But it’s worth it to be treated with care. Gracias

We recently moved into Santa Clarita and one concern is finding all of the medical/ dental professional we needed. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Hamed Jafary and have been incredibly impressed. He has great skills and knowledge, but he also has a great personality and has taken all the time I've needed to fully understand my treatment plan. It's a rare combination to find a physician with high skills and the ability to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. I strongly recommend that you schedule an appointment with Dr. Jafary. You will be overwhelmed by the staff as well as your time with the Doctor.

This is my one comment. I wish the doctor would have recommended I wear a tennis shoe. I figured this out on my own after wearing an open back shoe for 10 days. It’s hard to get it on but the support is so much better- this was never ever mentioned.
