    5 months and I'm still hurting. They stated 3 months. A bit disappointed in the long healing, but that could be based on my own healing process.

    The reminder calls are too much. I don't need 3-4 calls for each appointment. One is sufficient. Thanks.

    The visit was very simple, so not a lot of feedback was necessary. Dr. was willing to answer questions as needed. Office is well run.

    I love Dr. Briskin and I have great faith in him. I saw Dr. Saheedi for my last visit. He did an excellent job on my toenails, but made the extreme suggestion that I might need to see a vascular surgeon for my swollen foot. I consider surgery extreme; I don't even like pills. I ran to my internist and he quickly said no to seeing a surgeon. Dr. Briskin would never have suggested that. Perhaps Dr. Saheedi is too close to medical school to believe first in non-invasive treatment.

    Dr. Franson has been amazing. He thoroughly answers questions and educates his patients, which I absolutely love. He is consistently friendly, kind and caring. He takes a conservative approach and does not pressure you into one particular treatment plan but works alongside his patients, while informing them in detail of the best options for them. In my experience suffering a severe ankle injury, I have been so grateful and blessed to have Dr. Franson as my doctor.

    Grey, Lydia, Tammy, and Irma have all been spectacular during my recovery following successful surgery by Dr. Baravarian. I'm at the end of my physical therapy, and, though I'm happy I made it, I'll be sad to say goodbye to this team. I could not have done it without their encouragement, putting up with my impatience, and challenging me when I needed to be challenged out of my comfort zone. Taking home lots of exercises to do for the rest of my recovery, and also to continue over time for my health.

    Dr. Saeedi is exceptional. He takes great care and makes you feel very comfortable. I really felt like he took time to make sure that I understood everything clearly and he answered all my questions. He listened to everything I said carefully too and respected my feelings about my situation and what I had been through before coming to him. He also took a lot of consideration when helping me figure out a treatment that would be best for me. I think he's a really good doctor and I am lucky to have been under his care.

    Felt very comfortable coming into the office. Scheduling was such that i didn't run into any other patients and the office was clean and all staff masked. As always, Dr Redkar is the best.
