Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had a great first appointment with Dr. Ani. She was thoughtful, thorough, and very friendly. She inspires confidence.

Excellent Doctor
Another MD recommended her to us and we will be eternally grateful for that. Dr. Balmanoukian is my spouse's hematologist and oncologist. she is extremelly empathic, knowledgeable, and responsive to her patients and families. She has a positive attitude and we feel light and optimistic when we see her. She has what takes to be an oncologist. We love her.

My initial in-person appointment the doctor was amazing! She was attentive, thorough and great listener. However, the provider was late to my virtual follow-up appointment. In her defense, she appeared tired. However, it was a totally different experience. She didn't remember anything we discussed during our first appointment and I felt rushed and my concerns minimized. She made a recommendation to continue iron tablets when I told her the previous appointment I had stopped taking them 3 months ago.

I'm just sorry Dr. Balmanoukian is not going to be coming to the Angeles Clinic anymore. I live five minutes from the Clinic. Now, I'll have to drive to Tarzana (over an hour away) to see her, but I will, since I think she's a fabulous hematologist.
