Dr. Bob is a remarkable surgeon! Most importantly, Dr. Bob understands the needs of each individual patient. I felt very comfortable and confident in the presence of Dr. Bob. I am looking forward to a speedy recovery.

i'm so happy that I found this office and I definitely like the entire staff. I'm happy that I had met Dr. Bavarian. one thing I really like is that if you have a question they get back to you quickly
Kathleen M.
It was only my first visit, but I was totally impressed with Gray's knowledge. Now to do the homework!
Dorothy J.
Signing up for your portal was over the top challenging for me as an Elder- non techie. Your staff at the front desk said they would be glad to help next time I come in or stop by. So, for now, I have no way to communicate, except by phone.
Diana M.
I really like this medical facility because it's a one stop shop. Also I'm very pleased with physician and his expertise in this area of medicine. That's primarily why I chose him.

it's all good.
James M.
The foot MRI in Santa Monica was a GODSEND for claustrophobics like me!! Everyone 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 Dr.Barvarian forhis many kindnesses!
Lesley C.
Not sure why but i had to wait almost an hour to be seen. I was on time. There were a dozen people in the waiting room, even some lined out the door. This was the first time this happened. The staff apologized so i figure something was going on. Otherwise, Dr. Bob and staff was wonderful. Maryrose Hopke

Soozan S.
They were kind and extremely informative.
Assal H.
My appointment went very well. I am quite pleased with the treatment I received.
Susan S.
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
Carmelita L.
Love your staff - especially at desk. So kind. I am very grateful to Dr Bob and his staff- I know he starts out conservatively and for that I am so deeply appreciative. I have seen 3-4 other podiatrist and no one recommended custom orthotics- something that has helped out...and they also just want to turn to cortisone even as sustained treatment protocol. I happily do the drive for his experience, knowledge, but also great " bedside manner"- seeing the human that is seeking his care!
Katia G.
Always great! Love the way Dr. Bob is so attentive and answers his email within moments most of the time.
Helen M.
They have the best customer service I ever had
Marcus C.
Some of the practitioners don't cut the nails flat and when they grow they hurt me
REBECA V.
It was really prepared for this presiger. Thanks much for your hard work.
Leonid P.
You sure had me wait a long time before I saw the doctor, and he was great.
Katherine D.
This is the second foot medical issue I have experienced. Both times, I went to Dr. Bob. Both experiences were great! Thank you!
Paulette A.
I love the 7:00 appointments. Everyone I dealt with was great!
Tom D.
Always a Good job at cutting and cleaning my nails
Linda S.
Dr. Baravarian was not only very diligent about my procedure (cryo-ablation), and when he received email from me that it did not work, he engaged in multiple emails on a Sunday to discuss alternative next steps and converged into what he thought was the best step -- neuroma excision surgery. He offered to perform it whenever I was ready. My overall confidence in his capability is very good, matched what I've seen on the Dr. Bob website. I'll most likely take this next step although I'm a bit far away, in Santa Barbara. The staff at Dr. Bob is similarly excellent, which is very important because they represent the patient's interface to Dr. Bob. Please continue to do all this great work!
NUGGEHALLY J.
Yes. All aspects of practice are excellent
Katheryn P.

thanks!
Steven S.
Great advice given to my specific foot questions and concerns. I really appreciated the options and potential outcomes from having procedures done. With both feet needing separate attention it gave me food for thought. I would definitely have Dr. Bob do the surgery when I've decided.
Jeffrey C.
Evette @Front desk was EXTREMELY Helpful & was even able to find record of my previous visit .. that I did not even remember from over 15yrs ago Was EXCELLENT Visit & I left feeling MUCH Better, knowing I've got the perf treatment for problem that's been causing discomfort &trouble for weeks & can easily return if problem persists THANK YOU 2All @University office in Santa Monica !!
Karen M.
I had been referred to two previous foot and ankle specialists. Neither of them even touched my foot. Dr. Baravarian and his staff took their time, reviewed previous surgery reports, manipulated and tested my foot, and took new XRays for their review. I couldn't have been happier with the visit and I look forward to achieving some positive results working with them.
Gregory R.
Very professional
Donald L.
Dr. Bob has been absolutely amazing and so has Dr. Kwon. When I've emailed with questions, the response time has been shockingly quick. Everybody in the office has been so kind and responsive. Thank you.!

"Dr. Bob" Baravarian is a very knowledgeable practitioner and I really like the style in which he communicates, explaining suggested treatment in layman's language. He has a relaxed, warm bedside manner. My recent visits have been for ingrown toenails, taken care of in 1 office visit. Dr. Bob" is a trustworthy professional.

Claudia F.
First class care.
Thomas T.
The physical therapy side is great but the podiatrist side can be crowded and overbooked at times.
Lalida S.
With the exception of waiting long, the staff & the doctor were great.
Anuosh M.
Positive. Front office staff is very friendly and professional, everyone was pleasant all throughout, explaining what was going on, taking respectful care of me with friendly tone. Great experience.
Susan P.
Great X-ray facility. Assistants are knowledgeable. They need to improve their billing system. Not happy with texted receipt for payment of needed equipment. Not printable. I was then billed for same equipment even though I had already paid for it.
Yvonne E.
I was met curtisley, I was treated with respect, I was made comfortable, why the procedure was taking place, I couldn't ask for better service, Thank you for a job well done.
Randolph G.
Request a different therapist for my next visit coming up on October 29 had a lot of bleeding on my big toe
Pamela B.
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.
Tejesh M.
Having procedure in January my consultation went well and the staff was very kind and caring. Im hopeful.
France S.
I have had Foot and Ankle problems for over 15 years. But when I have a foot problem. Dr Baravarian is great!
John L.
I believe that there should be a nurse practitioner in the practice. I can tell that there there are only medical doctors and that's okay but a nurse practitioner's validated competencies include practical management of conditions.
Eworth Charles M.
A well organized and effective specialty practice. I would recommend it without reservation.
Robert M.
Prefer your Sherman Oaks office over Santa Monica. Wait times are minimal there compared with Santa Monica.
Yvonne E.
Speaking with the doctor was a lot of information at once but I know I‚ have other app ointments before my surgery to be able to ask more questions.
Linda D.
Staff courteous. My toe problem was not addressed adequately. Soreness in big toe continues indicating inflammation
Nirmala M.
Very good. Staff premises and procedures were done very professionally
Chris K.
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 though 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.
Denise K.
Treatment and staff are wonderful. Wait to be seen past appointment time is disappointing.
Ruth B.
I was very impressed
Robert L.
I am a patient for more than 2 years because of my work related injury Dr Baravarian and staff always take good care of me. I am so happy to be have them.
Cagatay B.
There was way too much confusion about the insurance information.
Kathy K.
So far it is fine. The staff is nice but it takes days for follow-up, multiple messages etc.
Lori T.
The young man who the Doctor left to pare benign lesions did a very mediocre job. The Doctor did a good job with my in grown toenail although it was quite painful.
Maurice E.
Very professional in their approach and information was provided nicely.
Richard P.
The team is very knowledgeable and attentive. As a person with ADHD my recommendation would be for the doctors to clearly list out treatment plan options for patients. In my case, I know it was conservative steps including steroid injection, custom orthotics, physical therapy... followed by either cryoablation or neurectomy. It's helpful to have a clear visual action plan including recommended direction versus alternative direction/s to weigh and decide upon. Bottom line, helping patient to understand the injury/issue, the standard conservative/progressive steps, etc. working towards resolving the issue.
Dan G.
Fair. Doctor did not fully explain condition or take enough time
Annette H.
I was prescribed an expensive, not insured cream that did not help me.
Bruce O.
Front desk staff was wonderful. However, I felt very rushed by the doctor during my visit and was not officially advised that there would be a remote scribe during the visit. I felt as though I didn't have the opportunity to actually be heard by the doctor.
Gwendoline M.
Request your appointment now! World-class care is just a call or click away.
