Dr. Bob Baravarian, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

Dr. Bob Baravarian was truly a lifesaver for me. I was in excruciating pain in my left foot. A random gentleman at the pool felt my pain and recommended Dr. Bob to me. I got in within a day to see him, and was told that I had acute arthritis in both of my feet and if I did not take care of it, I would become crippled within a few short years. A second Dr. backed up this diagnosis, and also highly recommended Dr. Bob for this particular surgery. 2 surgeries were successfully completed, each costing me 2 months in non-weight bearing casts.  Fast forward to over a year later, I feel like I got 10 years of my life back. I am strong, balanced, very active and happy. I want to give a shout out to his physical therapy staff as well. Gray O' Brian  was patient, tough but encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable. The Dr's assistants, technicians, and office staff were also always professional, friendly and wonderful to work with.  Thank you to you all.

I want to comment on the professional and excellent care I received from the staff of UFAI.  Dr. Bob Baravarian and Dr. Milad Aldoo reviewed my case, which was a non-union of my subtalar ankle fusion.  The only option I had from my surgeon was a "revisit surgery" which would have required performing the same surgery again and waiting out the 6 months to one year healing process.  My wife did some research to come up with potential options to surgery.  She discovered Dr. Bob and he developed a plan of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) injections and soft wave tissue regeneration therapy in the non-union joint.   Well it worked!  After 3 PRP injections and 4 soft wave treatments my fusion has healed and I can resume my normal activities again.  It's been 22 month since my initial surgery so I am thrilled to have this outcome! Many thanks go out to Br. Bob and Dr. Adloo, as well their staff, for giving my mobility back again!

Everyone from the surgery planner to Dr. Bob has been spectacular with me, explaining the procedure needed to fix my foot, helping me in the surgical center, and the pre-op and post-op appointments.
Next, I’ll be back to have stitches removed. Then I’m looking forward to one more surgery necessary to complete the work on this foot.
I felt comfortable going through this surgery because I have confidence that Dr Bob and his staff are knowledgeable about these surgical procedures and sensitive to my needs.

Staff has been limited due to my HMO insurance. Referral is supposed to be completed - approved - today. I made an appointment for physical therapy for Friday at the University foot and ankle. I’ve been having a lot of pain. I don’t really know what to do in the meantime, except put the cream on that the doctor recommended.

Dr Bavarian immediately recognized the issue that others had missed (the issue is that it is a lower back nerve and not a foot problem per se at all). And I was able to get an appt within a couple of daily’s (before a trip) when others weren’t available for weeks.

Previously, Dr. Baravarian treated me for an ankle ligament tear with stem cell injections. They were very successful. I am grateful and always recommend him to others.

For the more minor problem on this visit, his recommended treatment solved my problem.

The office staff is excellent.

Dr. Baravarian and his staff were all very polite and punctual. I’ve probably been one of the patients of least acuity but they make me feel important and Dr. Bobs treatment have only been helping.
Gray and Lydia in PT were also pivotal in my rehab.

I’m highly satisfied with the care I receive from Foot and Ankle Institute. Especially, the professional service Dr Baravarian offers to his patients.
I have given a few referrals to my friends and colleagues.

Everyone was friendly and helpful. There was surprisingly little pain following surgery, which pleased me. I appreciated the call following surgery to check up on my status! Thank you for your great care

One of my best experiences at a podiatry clinic EVER. The whole team was so professional, they addressed my concerns in a very friendly and caring manner. Most importantly, Dr. Bob explained the surgical process I would undergo very well. Maybe even more importantly, his straightforward and honest manner assured me that my ankle would recover and that I believed him when he told me that tennis would once again be in my future. And indeed, that is exactly what happened. I am now 16 weeks post-surgery, and thanks to them, I was back on the court this weekend. I am very excited about my tennis game once again and very thankful to Dr. Bob.

How the front desk staff treats you is a preview of how your visit will go. And even though they were very busy this Monday morning, the folks up front were nice. They promptly processed my paperwork and got me into a room within ten minutes. I met with Dr. Bob, who is super knowledgeable and quickly gets to the point, which I like a lot. Above all, he diagnosed my condition definitively after reviewing my MRI and examining my foot, something that two other doctors seemed unable to do. And he recommended a non-surgical approach, whereas the other two doctors I saw told me that they would have to get inside to figure out what was going on. How crazy is that? I highly recommend Dr. Bob and University Foot and Ankle Institute when you want real solutions to your foot issues.

Excellent office, very nice staff, and very comfortable with kids. My son saw Dr. Baravarian for ankle pain that has gotten in the way of his little league, so my little guy was very nervous. He is no longer nervous; we got a diagnosis, and he is starting a short stint with their physical therapy to strengthen his ankle.
