Dr. Baravarian is absolutely an incredible doctor. He is very experienced and I am so grateful that I found him! I had 2 PRP procedures done on my ankle and didn’t feel much pain! It’s wonderful to find a doctor that is trustworthy!
My experience with Dr B was amazing.I had zero pain alter my surgery. Everything is healing so well. He is the best!
Dr. Bavarian was great. He said i didn’t need to remove part of my nail…the infection would subside. Very honest. Staff was great, kind. Irtually no wait. I recommend highly.
Dr Bob is the best! I have needed this bunion surgery for years, and when I met Dr. Bob I felt 100 percent confident he was the right Dr. to correct my bunion! I have completed the right foot and will be doing the left foot in a couple weeks! Thanks to Dr Bob I will be able to be super active and no longer have pain! I am so grateful to him. Rachael H
He is excellent. Highly recommended
I love there staff super nice and friendly and when you meet the doctor is to die for😁super friendly and he explains everything clearly and makes sure you understand everything before he leaves the room doesn’t rush you at all
I was able to get an appointment the next day after dislocating my toe. I had a great experience. The staff were friendly and the doctor answered all my questions.
This is a first class experience with a world-leading research surgeon. If "good enough" isn't good enough for you, this is where you want to go.
Great service. Very attentive. Even took us early.
I have been so impressed with Dr. Bob. Ive never sat in the waiting room one minute longer than my appointment time. That’s a real plus. More importantly is his honest, professional approach to his craft and his commitment to my recovery. He’s the best and I highly recommend him.
Dr. Baravarian is incredible! After three podiatrists and a failed surgery left me with no answers for my feet pain, Dr. Baravarian figured out the real cause of the pain in the first visit.I was ready for another surgery to fix the first one, but he held off until the root issue was treated. My hammer toe and bunion surgery went perfectly—I was amazed to have no pain afterward! Dr. Baravarian is super knowledgeable and explained everything about the surgery and recovery clearly, making me feel informed and at ease. I also want to extend my gratitude to his staff, who were incredibly kind and supportive throughout my treatment.
Prompt professional service as always!
