    Felt I was well taken care of, but not given enough information on the first business. For instance, I did not know there was an air valve on the boot, or how to properly use the boot, for at least a week. And I learned through trial and error, reading on the internet and asking friends. Same with massage, salves, exercises, etc.

    This operation runs like a well oiled machine! Every aspect has been smooth and easy. Doctor Baravarian has been awesome and very caring. His attention to detail is great! I didn’t want to drive too far to their physical therapy institute after surgery, so Dr. recommended excellent service near my home.

    Not happy with the office manager at the Sherman Oaks office. She was very difficult on the phone too. She acted as she was running the show regardless of what Dr Baravarian and I had discussed and agreed upon. I almost didnt get my orthotic's because of her power trip as office manager. Very dissatisfied with her behavior and attitude.

    Dr Baravarian is a remarkable doctor. I thank him every day when I get up for giving my my life back! Besides being excellent at what he does, he is kind and takes his times explaining things to his patients too. This goes a long way with people like me who are scared out of their mind that they will never be ok again..
    If you are considering who to choose for any of your foot related problems, I am telling you, look no more, you have found the best right here with Dr Bob

    Although it was a short visit for a post-op visit, Dr. Baravarian explained everything to me and told me that everything was fine and gave me good instructions on how to care for my recovery.

    Dr. Baravarian corrected a failed Cartiva Implant by removing it and fusing my right big toe joint. I was terrified I would never be able to be active again. So far, so good. He has a wonderful bedside manner, explained in detail why fusion was my best choice and was communicative throughout my recovery. His staff is wonderful, caring and everyone is efficient. I never have to wait for my appts and I am in and out in record time, which I appreciate since I drive 40 miles to see him. Excellent care and I highly recommend!

    The doctor did not make me wait for a long time for him like other doctors, not respecting the patients time. His advise was fast and to the point.
