Dr. Bob Baravarian, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

I had high hopes when I drove almost 2-hours to see Dr. Baravarian, based on reading some of his articles in Podiatry Today and elsewhere on the internet. And so far I'm impressed with his scientific approach to figuring out my chronic (20-yr) foot problem. After evaluating my MRI, examining my foot, and performing an ultrasound, he came up with a preliminary diagnosis that no previous podiatrist had considered, and which makes sense to me (heel bursitis). He then told me to try heel cups for 2-weeks and if that helps he will probably prescribe custom orthotics to take weight off of that bursa. I'm very encouraged that he might be able to finally solve this debilitating problem and enable me to walk for exercise again.

Dr B came in, examined my foot, provided a diagnosis, and offered a few solutions. He was approachable and easy to talk to. He made me feel like he was a kick-ass doctor who knew what he was talking about. He did not waste my time nor his. His staff was also nice. Would recommend.

seems like a very good office, and I am glad I made this connection. It is great having my nails well trimmed and I am using the fungus cream recommended by your staff. thank you. see you in a month or so. have a followup appt.

I appreciate the promt service at the Sherman Oaks office. Everytime I sign in, the take me back right away. This is very rare at other Dr offices. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Not to mention Dr Bob is awesome and explains everthing to the patient. Highly recommend to my friends/family!

Dr. Baravarian and all of the staff at UFAI are incredible - I highly recommend to anyone looking for similar treatment for foot problems, knowing anyone I refer will receive the highest standard of care. Very grateful for Dr. B and team!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Baravarian.
I had two surgeries with him. I've already recommended "Dr. Bob" to several friends and colleagues in my industry.
Wishing Dr. Baravarian a great and successful career!

I presented dr B with mri results of my back before any procedures were performed. I have a pinched nerve in my lower back that is causing most of my feet pain. I was given a shot in my lower back last week and most of my feet pains have been eliminated.

From start to finish I was impressed with the quality of my care! I had previously gone to urgent care when I hurt my ankle. They gave me crutches and sent me, "walking". When my ankle was not better a week later i did some online research and found UFAI. Was I ever glad I did! Dr. B. figured it out from looking at the urgent care xrays, things they totally missed. I was fitted for a boot and my ankle felt tremendously better immediately!

I schedule my appointments as early as possible, so I can drive back across town and make it into work on time. Before my appt., the receptionist informed me that I needed to fill out several pages of my medical history, medications, etc. I believe I have been seeing Dr. Baravarian for at least ten years and have provided that information previously, more than once. First of all, that information is on file and if anything needed to be updated, as UCLA does, I could have been given a copy of the previously completed forms and asked if anything had changed. Secondly, at 7:55 am, right before my appointment, and right before I have to race back across town to get to work, I do not have the time or patience to provide information that has already been provided--multiple times. Ideally, I could have been emailed with the previously completed forms and asked to update the information at my convenience. I did not appreciate the insistence or attitude of the receptionist & told her, that as I did not have the info available and did not see the need to provide it all again, I should probably just go. I filled out a bit of it and she suggested I take it w/me during the appt. Still angry...
