Dr. Gary Briskin, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

I am a retired R.N. Have suffered painful problems for many years .always treated successfully by my Podiatrist, Dr Gary Briskin. My latest problem , I injured my .big toe ripping the nail partially from its bed. Dr Briskin ‘s care and expertise resulted in my not losing the nail. Thank you Dr Briskin!

We had the most amazing experience this afternoon with Dr. Naei!

Dr Naei shows so much care and sympathy for her profession. Dr Naei has an incredible disposition and a beautiful aura! Dr Naei is true gift to Southern Californians. Great job Dr Brisken on bringing Dr Naei to your prestigious practice!!!

I have been coming here for years and usually see Dr. Gary Briskin. He wasn't available, so I saw Dr. Hoda Naei for an ankle issue. She is INCREDIBLE! So friendly, caring, explains everything in detail and provides exceptional patient care. Her medical assistant Erica was wonderful as well!

Maybe I should have been warned about the pain level after the procedure. True it's different for everyone but I wasn't sure whether it was normal or due to an infection. I could have called also, anyway pain went after two days and I am satisfied with the results so far, grateful to my surgeon and every single nurse I met

I went in to see why my foot still hurt after an injury 6 months earlier. The Doc took an X-Ray did not see anything but kept on it thinking there might have been a torn tendon. The following week I had an MRI and found I had 2 broken bones that weee not visible on the X-Ray. Thanks to the Doc for following up with my injury and we are on the track for recovery.

Very nice facility. Dr. Gary Briskin was very kind to explain the things that is needed to make my condition better. The staff are nice and welcoming. The only suggestion is maybe the staff need to smile more. :-)

Dr. Briskin and staff were exactly what you want and need from a doctor. I wish he was my actual PCP he's that good.
He listened to my situation and literally made me feel heard--finally! He didn't blow off my symptoms as nothing like so many doctors have done -- even my PCP.
Dr. Briskin knew right away what I was potentially facing with an autoimmune disorder that caused my situation based on just LISTENING to my symptoms.
(Symptoms that another podiatrist with "42yrs experience" didn't bother to listen to and literally laughed in my face - not kidding, he laughed in my face - thinking I was making things up. As if anyone would want to make up deformed looking feet that came out of nowhere in a matter of weeks. )
Can't recommend Dr. Briskin and the University Foot and Ankle Institute, Santa Monica enough!! The only thing I wish was improved was that they were integrated with MyChart for streamlined labwork sharing, but I'll take a great doctor over computer software preference:)!
