UFAI South Bay / El Segundo Patient Reviews

This Doctors office is like nothing I've ever experienced. They are so on top of everything. I was sad that is Doctors office wasn't my primary. They are an AMAZING TEAM! Don't get me wrong love my Doctor (primary) but going there was just on another level. #AWESOMESAUCE

One of the receptionists at the LA office on Pacific Concourse speaks to patients on the phone way too loudly! I don’t know her name, but she may be with the arthritis side of the practice. It’s so awful!

Sorry to complain, but the waiting room/receptionist office smells so bad every single time I have come in for an appointment. It is body odor which is horrible to have to smell while you're waiting to be called. I am sure I am not the only one to complain about this problem, though a quick discussion with the employees at the front desk might help. Dr. Briskin is amazing...a true miracle worker. Perhaps even some type of room freshener could help the problem which comes from the receptionist office.

Dr. Bob Baravarian and his staff are excellent. Both, the Sherman Oaks and their Santa Monica facilities are superb. There was hardly a wait. It seems they manage their schedule very professional. Dr. Baravarian take his time during the examination and I feel that he really cares about his patients. I went twice, a broken foot and upper joint ligament tears. Nice experience. His staff is very courteous, friendly and accommodating. Great experience - if you have foot and angle problems - GO nowhere else.

Until last Monday, my experience was positive. The only care i had was to treat my most persistent plantar warts. One week ago, I unfortunately slid forward into a cement step fracturing my big toe of my right foot. I had x-rays taken at a local Urgent Care. the doctor told me I had a fracture and taped it to my next toe. It hurt like crazy and worried me. I knew I needed to see my podiatrist specialist. I looked at the web site and wanted to schedule an appointment. I knew I needed to see the doctor the next day. I found the pop up box at the bottom of the web site and requested help through the text box. Steven is the Internet Patient Liaison who responded to me on Sunday evening. He sent me detailed arrangements for my visit to the office on Monday. That is great patient care.Dr. Briskin & his team took great care of me my entire visit. The fracture of the big toe has potential to impact other body parts without this great care. I'm on my way to healing thanks to everyone.

University Foot and Ankle Institute is an excellent comprehensive facility. Dr. Briskin is a wonderful Doctor and the staff is friendly and professional. The combination between the doctor's expertise and hardwork on my part, has enabled me to fully recover. Thank you!

Dr. Briskin and his team are outstanding. Friendly, timely, well organized, communicated very well making me feel completely at ease with my procedure. Highly recommend, thanks for the exceptional care!

I am doing an update on my last review as I now have considerable time spent with Dr.Briskin and office. I was expeiencing foot and ankle pain that progressed for several months before I went to see Dr, Briskin.He took a conservative approach ( which I like) with PT first .After a few weeks and still some pain he wanted a MRI of my ankle. I said no way, I'm not going in that. He said he had one that only the foot goes in. I agreed , went to the Santa Monica center and sure enough onlly the foot went into the MRI. The staff there was great, kind compassionet, and made every effort to make me comfortable. The MRI revealed several areas of concern that I will be dealing with Dr.Briskin.I feel confident he will take care of my foot problems.

The staff in Manhattan Beach are helpful and friendly. Tom especially always asist me with my needs. He is always smiling and a busy little bee assisting patients. Nancy at the front desk is very helpful too,I needed additional information that she readly furnished for me on two occasions.Some of what I needed was to come from another office, when I did not receive it, she was right on it and seen to it that I did.
I can only say if you have foot or ankle problems this is the place to be. I will continue to post as time goes on with my care. If anything changes I will let you know.

Dr. Briskin and his staff make going to the doctor a simplistic and pleasurable experience. With two teens, both involved in competitive athletics (football and gymnastics), we have sought medical care for feet and ankle injuries on multiple occasions. Each time we have been out of the office in less than 45 minutes. Dr. Briskin is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable and always take the time to listen and evaluate the injury.

Smashed a toe pretty good and had a toenail going in the wrong way.

I called the doctors office. they took my California Care insurance no problem. Despite a very busy lobby, staff arranged to sneak me in between patient appointments. Doctor examined my issue within 20 minutes of doing paperwork, checked my toe and informed me how to take care of it.

I was very pleased with the service at this doctors office and the professional nature of the staff. The doctor was polite and clearly gave me the medical attention I needed.

Overall, it felt like a place where patients and their medical needs came first, not the hustle of the 21st-century medical industry.

Highest recommendation for the University medical team!

Thank you.

My feet have been killing me for the past two months and put off getting it checked out. I finally came to see Dr. Breskin and I regret nothing! My appointment time was mostly kept and he found the problem prettying right away. Dr Breskin is very easy to talk to and answers questions readily.
The only problem: the parking lot is tight. Get there early enough to park a block away and walk in or have someone drop you off.

Everything was great except when it came time to schedule an appointment to pick up my orthotics. The scheduler on the phone gave me an appointment to come in to pick up, but when I arrived at the appointed time, I was told that I had to make a whole new appointment with the technician that would cut the orthotics to fit my shoe. This was very inconvenient to have to come in twice the same week, especially since I was getting ready to head back to college across country, and had very little time left for delays.
