Sherman Oaks Patient Testimonials

I am looking forward to having my cast removed. I will be better qualified to comment on how I am doing, based on how my foot feels when I am able to walk on it again.
So far, the office staff, the Dr's assistants and Dr. Baravarian have been courteous and professional. I feel I am getting good care. I am eager to try walking again, I had a mid-foot bone fusion procedure which takes a considerable amount of time to heal.

I have seen the doctor three times. I thought the staff were excellent--attentive, informative, knowledgeable. The doctor seemed hurried and did not fully explain what I could expect as the result of my treatment. I did not feel he was listening fully to my concerns. I felt more dismissed than reassured. Also, the automated appointment reminder needs work. When leaving a message, it gives the appointment date/time right at the beginning before the phone actually starts recording. It would be helpful to repeat the appointment date/time at the end.

The only negative, and very minor, is the telephone reminder setup. One has to listen to the entire message before having the option to respond. That's a lot of waiting when hearing the same message 3 times for each appointment.
