Dr. Bob Baravarian, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

When I first met Dr. Baravarian, before my surgery, I was impressed with his professionalism and expertise, however the last couple of times I've seen him, my consultation lasted less than 5 minutes, he seemed very busy both times, and I felt rushed.

Kaiser had informed us that the wounds on our 90 year old's ankle/foot would never heal, and one predicted amputation. Dr. Baravarian's clinical assessments, frequent monitoring, and nimble changes in treatment when necessary have resulted in nothing short of miracle to our family. In just 6 months, one wound is completely healed, and the second nearly so.
And everyone's been patient explaining everything to us, answering our questions, and providing written orders for the skilled nursing facility and now home health agencies. Our profound gratitude.

Hubby & I really liked both doctor & assistant. We received direct, accurate, & compassionate answers to our questions. I especially liked the referrals.
With that said, I do not know how the doctors or facility treat the diabetic foot or fungus, etc. I was not sure if the doctor or assistant examined my foot thoroughly for wounds, dryness, etc because I was more concerned about my husband at the time. They probably did, but I was tired. If the doctor/assistant could look at the patient directly and say, "I am going to exam your foot for wounds, etc. that would be great. Would Like your practice to treat neuropathy rather than chiropractors who are delving into areas they shouldn't. Also, you could have available an orthodic for $75.00 if the ins. co. does not pay for orthodics. My podiatrist does have that and it works well. Better than Dr. Scholls. At least it is something. Don't know where he got the orthodics. We will return for annual foot care. Only disappointment for me was that my hubby did not get orthodics because our insurance changed their policy. We will look into it. Thanks for your devotion to your calling. Mrs. Roberta Bakst

Hello, Dr. B, With all due respect, I think there is a flaw in the design of my custom brace. My ankle bone hurts way too much while/after getting my high arched foot into my brace/shoe due to the stiff plastic contour of the brace fitting like a second skin.and an ankle bone sticking out has to squeeze past said contour. For PRP patients couldn’t an adhesive pad be placed over the torn tendon area and the ankle bone ligament before the plaster of Paris is applied, so there’s a little breathing room for the sensitive areas not to be tortured getting into that brace & shoe? It’s not acceptable, considering I was expecting a comfortable custom brace to wear.
I need another sponge pad along the Peroneal edge of my foot inserted. OR perhaps my PRP therapy has simply failed?
I hate everything about Brace #2. I prefer Brace #1, which isn't correcting my gait. I’ve had enough of pain. Aidez-moi, Eileen Thomas

Staff person when first coming into the room, didn't sound like he knew why I was there. Just to pick up and fit new orthodic shoe inserts. That's why I gave staff and 8.
The Doctor is always great! Thanks

I've been a long term patient and my personal informatoon has not changed in all the years I've been coming to the practice. I wish there were a way to update medical records without having to rewrite it all. Other than that small thing, it's a great practice and I'd never go anywhere else.
