Virtual Consultation, Los Angeles Podiatrist

Virtual consultations make Dr. Baravarian’s expertise available to all

Many of our patients first learn about Dr. Bob through a friend, a media story, or online research. But what if you don’t live near our Los Angeles location?

While many people travel from across the country, and even around the world, to see him, we understand that traveling to Southern California for care can be challenging and costly.

That’s why, in response to patient requests, we’re pleased to offer virtual consultations. This convenient option allows you to “visit” with our nationally recognized doctor from the comfort of your home, helping you understand what’s causing your foot or ankle pain or get a trusted second opinion before moving forward with treatment in your area.

Once we’ve received and carefully reviewed your doctor’s notes, medical records, X-rays, and/or MRIs, you’ll be invited to meet with Dr. Bob through our secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for a private consultation to discuss your foot and ankle care needs.

The Advantages of a Qualified Second Opinion

When your orthopedic health is on the line, it’s always a good idea to get a second opinion from another expert. Getting a fresh pair of eyes on your condition can cut down on human error. A second opinion decreases the risk of incorrect diagnosis and can help you avoid costly, unnecessary treatments and surgeries.

Most doctors recommend searching out a second opinion, especially for complicated or recurring issues. It’s important to get multiple perspectives on these problems. A diagnosis from a second doctor can sometimes be completely different from your original diagnosis. In many cases, a patient’s condition requires the seasoned eyes of a foot and ankle specialist with decades of experience. That is what Dr. Bob brings to your table.

Here are a few common conditions and treatments that usually benefit from a second opinion:

Previous unsuccessful treatment or surgery
Chronic ankle instability and reconstructive tendon repair
Bunion surgery
Ankle replacement
Flat foot reconstruction
Ankle and big toe arthritis
Regenerative therapies: stem cell, amniotic cell, and platelet-rich plasma

A virtual consultation with Dr. Baravarian helps you gain confidence in your next steps and peace of mind about your care plan. Andour virtual consultation system makes getting a second opinion easier than ever.

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!

Janine S.

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.

Craig F.

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.

Aida T.

Mark D.

Dr. Bob has now treated me 3 times with cryosurgeries for my Morton's Neuroma. Short of the surgery where they snip your nerves (I won't severe my nerves), this is the only treatment that works. With the first 2 treatments, I'd say I was 60% better, and with today's treatment, jack that number up to 85%... right now, anyway. It may even be 100% better; the next few weeks will be tell-tale, and I'll know if I'm going to need another at that point. To my knowledge, Dr. Bob is one of 3 doctors in the U.S. who does the cryosurgery with stem cell treatment, and to boot, he's just a great guy. If I lived anywhere in the world, I'd fly in for these treatments with Dr. Bob, Adrian and the rest of this staff, they're all great, and this treatment really does work. Trust me, I no longer want to rip my foot off my leg!

Gail B.

expert, knew just what to advise, kind manner, clear instructions the best!

Ron B.

Always a comfort to visit this Office, Staff is Truly dedicated to helping Patients

Karen S.

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

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.

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

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!
