Santa Monica Podiatry Clinic Patient Testimonials

Love your staff - especially at desk. So kind.

I am very grateful to Dr Bob and his staff- I know he starts out conservatively and for that I am so deeply appreciative. I have seen 3-4 other podiatrist and no one recommended custom orthotics- something that has helped out...and they also just want to turn to cortisone even as sustained treatment protocol. I happily do the drive for his experience, knowledge, but also great " bedside manner"- seeing the human that is seeking his care!

I needed to be seen on a very quick basis, so called the office. Office staff got back to me right away and set me up quickly with s podiatrist who treated me right away on the first visit. Every time I had a follow-up question or needed a visit, the response came quickly. I now use UFAi for all my podiatry needs.

Dr. Naei is the only doctor to take the time to care for the medical issues, including the PCP. She has shown compassion and empathy in the treatments she's prescribed. She has gone above and beyond all other doctors we've seen which has tremendously helped in resolving the issues and roadblocks presented by the bureaucracy of Providence medical board.

Great care here. No nonsense, professional staff who are kind compassionate and completely on top of their skills. Dr Bavarian is top notch and has seen to all of my family’s foot care needs.
Update: as I grew older, sadly unavoidable, I am now under an obligatory Medicare plan and found that I was misled by the office about coverages of durable medical goods which has caused a needless delay in my orthopedic inserts. That was disappointing. I took away a star from my previous rating.

I really like Dr. Brisken and his associates, very friendly and knowledgeable, informative. The office staff is also helpful and friendly. So glad they are close by. Really glad I found Dr. Brisken…..

Dr. Briskin and his staff are excellent. Dr. Briskin is very skilled, listens well, diagnoses quickly, explains very well to the lay person and I like that he has a variety of tools at his disposal. He has provided excellent advice to me. However, billing is another issue. For three days in a row, I have called the office number to ask to speak to someone about billing and I have never reached a live person and have not received a call back.

The staff was very helpful and accommodating…asked if I needed parking validation, provided a couple of options for me getting my primary health insurance to them. Nurse; nice and personable. The doctor (second opinion) reviewed my condition, prescribed an upgraded medication, recommended a bunion cushion
(provided a couple), confirmed what I knew. I would like to have him perform the surgery when I decide to do so.

The staff is very friendly and cordial. The staff is very welcoming and have empathy with the patients. I have been treated with so much empathy and friendliness. Also, the staff is very knowledgeable about their patients.

Overall I think the doctors and nurses are nice, however the doctor always seems very rushed and does not offer much insight/advice. Would advise him to slow down and spend some time with the patient. However, they all seem very knowledgeable in their field and nice, - just busy.
