    It was only my first visit, but I was totally impressed with Gray's knowledge. Now to do the homework!

    The doctor was very good and explained everything. And the therapist, Gray O'Brien, was particularly good, too.

    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 felt and continue to feel (post surgery) confident with Dr Baravarian as my surgeon! Dr B exudes a focused calmness, which puts patients at ease. SO IMPORTANT!!! Thank you for that! Truly! Dr B is a great surgeon and a lovely human. :-)

    Dr. Bob is a remarkable surgeon! Most importantly, Dr. Bob understands the needs of each individual patient. I felt very comfortable and confident in the presence of Dr. Bob. I’m looking forward to a speedy recovery.

    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.

    I had an unusual situation with the doctor forgetting to send in my meds then the person who is supposed to take care of prescriptions from the phone messages also dropped the ball. This was very traumatic actually. BUT the doctor apologized; the office manager took care of me with dispatch and sympathy and ultimately I had a happy ending albeit many weeks later. I like that there is PT right across the hall; also the MRI and Xray. The clinic is set up for convenience of the patient. And I like that it's easy to get appointments, not having to wait many days to see the dr. I also like that the doctors are collegial and consult with each other. That gives me added confidence. Would be nice to know if the doctors specialize at all e.g. sports injuries, dance injuries (me), etc.

    The therapist was wonderful; very professional, and he explained things very well and was very gentle.
    The atmosphere is friendly. I do think the receptionist could be more friendlier and welcoming though.

    It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Bavarian,

    He answered all of my questions.

    I'm knee deep in boxes as I'm moving shortly. As soon as I'm settled I'll make an appointment to pursue the Ossio Fiber procedure.

    Regards,
