About Bunion Institue of Sherman Oaks

The Bunion Institute is a bunion-focused specialty center operating within the University Foot and Ankle Institute network, which serves patients across the greater Los Angeles area including the Granada Hills region. Its team of board-certified podiatrists and foot and ankle surgeons, among them Dr. Bob Baravarian and Dr. Gary Briskin, concentrates on both conservative and surgical bunion care, from custom orthotics and footwear guidance to minimally invasive correction techniques such as the Lapiplasty 3D bunion procedure. Beyond bunions, individual providers bring expertise in sports medicine, diabetic limb salvage, reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, and pediatric care. Several members of the team communicate with patients in Spanish as well as English. Every treatment plan is built around the severity of the deformity and the patient's activity level and long-term goals, with advanced imaging used to guide the diagnosis.
