    So far it’s fine. Not amazing as relates fo surgery scheduling. The staff is nice it’s just that it takes days for follow-up, multiple messages etc. from an Oct appt the surgery is 12/10, after delays and rescheduling. Frustrating.

    There was way too much confusion about the report. One person tells me’s not in; the next says no.

    Only concern is about finances. I met my annual deductible via insurance, but there were still additional charges. I believe I was supposed to get refunded the charges, but not sure if it was. Other than that, great place from medical and treatment perspective.

    The doctor was great. However, I had a question about the doctor’s instructions after I got home. Calling the office was a disaster. I was transferred to call center after call center. The office never answered. Even tho I was just there and the office was there. The did not answer. The call center took a message. I got a call 4 days later. I probably would not go back again just because I think it’s important for the office to answer there phones and not sub out to a call center.

    Appointment time on time and staff is very kind to accommodate your needs.
    I would definitely recommend too, if I could. But this comes from my insurance

    I saw Dr. Baravarian after rupturing my left Achilles tendon (at the age of 74). He recommended surgery, for reasons that he carefully explained, and performed the operation four weeks ago. The surgery was completely successful, and in a couple of weeks I will progress from a non-weight-bearing cast to a walking boot. Dr. Baravarian is a highly skilled surgeon and, just as important, a kind and patient doctor who has been attentive to all my questions and concerns. I am deeply grateful to him, and to all his staff (including Dr. Kwon, Adrian, and the friendly ladies at the front desk), for his expert care throughout this challenging process, and I look forward confidently to a full recovery in a few months.

    The foot MRI in Santa Monica was a GODSEND for claustrophobics like me!! Everyone in Sta.Monica AND Sherman Oaks was kind and so excellent. I plan to have foot surgery with them in the fall, and I know that will have a great outcome, too. Thanks to Alex, Dr. Adloo, and Dr. Barbarian for their many kindnesses!
