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.

Best of the best
Dr Boghosian is, hands down, the best in his field. Under his care, I went from having excruciating pain with every step to achieving full range of motion and only a small amount of residual pain in 6 weeks. I’m about to have my 2nd knee replaced in two weeks and can honestly say I can’t wait. Dr Boghosian is kind, caring and exceptionally skilled. His team is also excellent. I knew what to expect at every step so felt completely supported and confident of having an excellent outcome. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Bedside manner
Had left knee replacement when I was 55 by Dr Boghosian. I’m 57 now and the pain just keeps getting worse. I’ve even lost about 60 lbs too.At the one year mark the Dr bends my knee and says that I’ve reached my goal, how does that feel? Then asks if there’s anything else, and leaves.Went in few times prior to the one year appointment complaining about the pain. they were clearly not happy that I was there. Things are great as long as everything goes well. Very disappointed.

Both Knees replaced
Dr. Boghosian replaced my Left Knee (3/17) and Right Knee (9/21) in my opinion couldn’t have gone better and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. “B” is the best!

Superior surgeon with wonderful bedside manners
I can’t say enough good things about this doctor and his team. I was blessed to get him by luck of the draw. I had had a Cortizone shot and Doctor Bogosian said I needed to wait a total of three months prior to having surgery. I asked her if I could have physical therapy prior to surgery and he gave me the OK. I came to him because basically I couldn’t walk. I was in so much pain and I’m 75 years old and a golfer. It’s now 12 weeks and I’m playing golf again without pain he lengthened my let because my leg had become shorter. He takes his time with your appointments so you can ask any questions without feeling rushed. If you’re considering surgery. I would definitely recommend him. He works at Eisenhower Health in the orthopedic center, which which is equally stellar.

6 Months Since Knee Replacement
Six months ago Dr. Boghosian performed my robotic assisted knee replacement and I could not be more happy or thankful for his expertise. There is no surgar coating of the after pain or discomfort which comes with this major surgery, but I am convinced my 5" scar and my 2 months of difficulty was worth it. At my physical therapy office, the people I met who had "non robotic assisted" knee replacment had much more difficulty and longer recovery than I at 75 years. Of course that could be an anomaly - but I give all credit to Dr. B. I am walking better than I have in 5 years and no pain. Dr. Boghosian listened to all my concerns and fears - and I am so glad he performed my surgery as I haven't felt this great in years, thank you so much Dr. B!

Outstanding doctor and surgery team
As the recipient of my first joint replacement, I was a bit nervous. Dr. B was highly recommended and he and his team surely lived up to their great reputation. His mini posterior procedure left only a small scar and healed up quickly. I was back to hiking in 4 weeks and golf in 5-6. Eisenhower Ortho staff members have these surgeries down to a science, and Dr. Boghosian is awesome! Thank you all!

I had a WONDERFUL experience with Dr. Boghosian. I had a mini posterior approach - total right hip replacement (the incision in the side hip). Everything went so smoothly, and I had no post op pain. The incision was very small and healed quickly. His whole teem was a joy to work with. The Dr. has a great bedside manner which helped alleviate my FEAR of the surgery.

Not a good experience
Saw the Dr. for a second opinion about a poorly done hip replacement. Found him not to be interested in my explanation and just was talking away in his machine with notes. He basically said to me that the opinion of two other Drs. were of no value and I should go to a pain specialist and physical therapy for the third time since the last hip surgery. Waste of my money and the insurance companies.

Dr. Bogoshian is fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable and executes the Mako-plasty technique for Full Robotic knee replacement surgery to the highest level. I highly recommend him. He is tops and I also recommend his protocol for the use of the ROM-tech bike for physical therapy recovery. I form scar tissue and this technique was so helpful in the prevention of scar tissue formation post surgery last year. In the Fall of 2021, I was home within a few hours after surgery and am scheduled to have a full knee replacement for the other knee in March of 2022. I had another doctor (not in the desert) perform a partial knee replacement 12 years ago that has now gotten to the point I need a full knee.

I am thankful and i was well cared for by Dr. Boghosian, Dr. Janice Mayer, the team at Eisenhower, and the physical therapy teams. This was a journey over time. I am confident with all of the decisions we made together which led to joint replacement , recovery and a fairly quick return to normal life... in a much better condition. My thanks

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Boghosian and I just sent a friend to him and she will be having the same surgery. I had a hip replacement and it was less painful than going to a dentist. I was discharged the same day and walked without a walker or cane. I never had any pain and immediately began walking outside and standing in the kitchen. I hadn’t done that for two years. His technique does not cut through any muscles and there is no nerve damage. Also, no staples to remove. The incision is coved with steri strips that fall off on their own. I have watched others who have had hip replacements, and none had a recovery like mine. He is the best...also I’m 72 years old.

All of my experience with Dr. Boghosian has been extremely positive, starting with my initial consultation, through the surgical procedure, and onto the post-op check/evaluation. He answered all of my questions/concerns very lucidly and with patience. He explained the entire procedure and told me what to expect as far as possible post-op discomfort, healing time, and temporary limitations. The surgery was totally successful and I should be back to 100% of my pre-surgical activity but without the arthritic pain. Also, his office staff was very efficient, yet warm/friendly in my interactions with them. I would definitely recommend Dr. Boghosian to family and friends.

Performed a total hip replacement for me. Fabulous result: no pain, walking right away, minimal incision sites. He also has a wonderful manner with patients. Listens well, provides clear answers and in my case, answered every question before I asked it. Can't say enough good things.

February 2021, I had right total hip replacement by Dr. Boghosian. The entire process with Dr. Boghosian and his team of nurses, x-ray technicians, scheduling personnel, etc., was a first class experience. I am recovering very well and my leg is happy! My words of wisdom, don’t put it off! Dr. Boghosian used the mini-posterior approach with the assist of a robotic arm. Because the muscle fibers are not cut, the healing and recovery process is faster. At 4 weeks post-op I have no restrictions. With the mini-posterior approach, the scar is much less, mine is less than 4 inches. Dr. Boghosian is an extremely talented surgeon. I would definitely recommend Dr. Boghosian and his thoughtful and caring staff.
