    Last week I was in LA for work and I stumbled over a curb. Aside from the embarrassment, I sprained my ankle. I thought it was just a little sprain but the next day it was really sore, really purple and hurt like hell.

    I called UFAI and they got me in the same day. Amazing! I saw Dr. Briskin and what a lovely man! He did xrays and it turned out I really did screw up my ankle. I had to get back to Palm Desert the next day so he gave me a walking boot, ice pack and exact instructions for care. He also gave me a personal reference for physical therapy in the desert.

    It was a great experience, except for hurting myself, of course. I'll be back in LA next week and will get my checkup with Dr. Briskin. I trust him, and to me that means a lot.

    The only thing is I wasn't told how long I should wear the ankle brace. Aside from that everything was great. Dr. Brisken was great a giving me a choice of two local PT places.

    I am very happy with the care I receive from UAFI and Dr. Briskin. They have taken very good care of my foot and provided me the ability to continue normal every day activities even while healing.

    when the billing statement comes out to my residence there is not enough time
    to wait for me to send payment they call to remind me you owe money you have a balance, what is the urgency, it is not professional to remind a patient about
    payment the patient is aware of her balance. That is the only thing wrong with
    this office, it is always about $$$$

    My husband recommended Dr. Briskin to consult about my foot. I'm glad I went. I like Dr. Briskin, he is honest and straight to the point. I'm glad he gave his honest opinion before proceeding with my surgery. It help a lot and decided not to proceed at this time.

    The staff are nice and easy to deal with. They have free WiFi and parking ticket validation.

    The reason why I only gave them four star, I wish they are more informative and efficient when it comes to providing every details and steps that I needed to know prior to surgery. This is what's missing on their part or at least needs improvement. The lack of initiative unless you asked.

    So make sure you prepare all the questions you have in mind when consulting with Dr. Briskin, and the staff.

    Dr. Briskin and his staff are top notch. He believed that something was STILL wrong with my broken foot when no one else would. Everyone from Dr. Briskin, to the receptionist make you feel important and heard. Can not recommend them enough.

    And the physical therapists across the hall literally helped me walk pain free again. Gray and his magic hands are AMAZING. Both Gray and Tamra especially are the kindest and talented physical therapists EVER. They are personally invested in your recovery. Would absolutely recommend them over and over. I am actually a little sad that I am recovered enough to not have to see them anymore.

    I can never thank them all enough.

    My first appointment went great. Glad I followed through with making an appointment and going in. My experience with other podiatrist and their staff have been awful. Glad I experienced what real care is for my foot.

    I appreciated Dr. Briskin's knowledge of my condition. I have been to several other podiatrists, and none of them were able to diagnose what was wrong with my foot. Although I am not looking forward to the remedy, which will require a surgery, I am glad I found your practice and that you are able to take care of it.
    Thank you, Joyce Tyler
