    Treatment and staff are wonderful. Wait to be seen past appointment time is disappointing.

    Dr. Baravarian was not only very diligent about my procedure (cryo-ablation), and when he received email from me that it did not work, he engaged in multiple emails on a Sunday to discuss alternative next steps and converged into what he thought was the best step -- neuroma excision surgery. He offered to perform it whenever I was ready. My overall confidence in his capability is very good, matched what I've seen on the UFAI website. I'll most likely take this next step although I'm a bit far away, in Santa Barbara. The staff at UFAI is similarly excellent, which is very important because they represent the patient's interface to UFAI. Please continue to do all this great work!

    Great X-ray facility. Assistants are knowledgeable. They need to improve their billing system. Not happy with texted receipt for payment of needed equipment. Not printable. I was then billed for same equipment even though I had already paid for it.

    I'm very pleased with Dr Jafary. He did a fabulous job of reconstruction on my foot. I waited too long for the surgery, it should have been done years ago. The arthritis made the foot get so bad I couldn't fit into closed shoes and could only wear sandals. I tripped over uneven cement and fell wearing sandals. Then I realized I needed to get foot surgery. Now I can wear cute safe and comfortable shoes.

    I can't thank Dr. Franson and the office enough for helping me with my torn Achilles. I told my wife I've been impressed since day 1 with how well the office works so fluidly together.

    We should be able to talk to the staff in charge of insurance authorizations, and they should follow up with patients.
