I've had two babies but that does not scare me as much as having bunion surgery. To be fair, I had…read more4 bunions worked on at the same time - left and right bunion on each foot. Most of us wouldn't even know you could have that many right? I'm an avid researcher and I spend an inordinate amount of time mulling over the details before purchasing anything so you can imagine how much effort I put into finding a surgeon who's going to operate on me. I went to get a consult with another surgeon at a swanky office in Santa Monica who writes for medical journals on orthopedic surgery so I wasn't going to any schmo. He recommended breaking my foot in three separate places including my ankle and allowing that to heal for 6 months, do physical therapy for a couple more and then repeat on my other foot. Needless to say, I was not a fan of the Frankenstein foot approach and going through a process that will take over a year to complete. Not a lot of surgeons will do both feet at the same time. There's a benefit to it as a patient because it's one operation and one recovery time vs two. Doctors don't like that because they prefer to do two surgeries and get paid for two. Dr. Kaye does have a nominal fee for doing both at the same time but in all honesty, I would have paid at least twice that for all the hassle he saved me. I'm a busy working mom and I don't have the time to sit around because my feet are out of commission. I swear you will have minimal pain if you keep your feet elevated and iced as instructed by Dr. Kaye. By day 2, I was off prescribed meds and taking just Motrin. By week 2 I was walking on both feet in a soft boot, no cast. That's pretty amazing for someone who just had bone surgery. Another amazing thing about Dr. Kaye's office is Kathy, his office manager. She was on top of all my appointment reminders and she dealt with my insurance company directly so I didn't have to. It was great! Ten months later, I'm easing into my high heels and my only regret is not doing a Yelp review sooner. Thank you Dr. Kaye and Kathy for all you've done!

I highly recommend Dr. Kaye. I had a toenail issue that at first was treated by another doctor…read more While I am not a doctor I had a vision of how I wanted my toe to look for optimal and speedy healing. When I saw Dr. Kaye's website and the treatment words he used I knew he was special and the one I needed to see. So I went for a second opinion and Dr. Kaye exceeded my expectations. My anxiety around my healthcare issue was elevated from not getting the expected treatment the first time around and breastfeeding my baby. I wanted to heal and avoid medication if possible. Dr. Kaye had a very simple and effective plan that has put me on the right path. He gave me self-care instructions and a care package of the items I needed saving me a trip to the pharmacy and allowing me to go right home to rest with my baby. Now that is service with a smile and some good humor too! Thanks for all that you do!

Staff is professional and very friendly from first call to in person visit. Only hiccup is the parking. Either get dropped off or park around the corner. Other than that I look forward to going back if I need any further treatment.

No longer wild about this office. Dr. Baravarian was the result of a lengthy search for someone…read morewho was an expert in an ankle problem I was having. I had high hopes initially, but over time I realized he lacks, or is unwilling, to be honest, or admit either differences in opinions regarding stem cell usage or Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), or admit misdiagnosis/acknowledge the difficulty in diagnosing something, or errors in sizing orthopedic inserts. He comes off incredibly arrogant, and incapable of admitting a mistake or an wrong doing. Then I realized podiatrists aren't really "medical" doctors... the term MD is reserved for orthopedists, so after getting nowhere, I went to Cedars. I was also told I had to make two separate appointments to receive a short (dress shoe) and long (regular shoe) inserts (made at the same time, and available at the same time) because that's what my insurance requires (BCBS). I've never had to do that before, so now I need to research the validity of this claim to know if they're just trying to gouge patients.
