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.

Fantastic doctor, personable, caring physician. He listens and take the time to answer your questions, he is professional. I would recommend Dr. Avakian to any and everyone. I am extremely pleased that he did my surgery. Respected greatly by me and others.

I went to Dr. Avakian to have my toenail removed due to a fungus. He recommended laser treatments as a followup which were very expensive and not covered by my insurance. I paid $600.00 and completed all the treatments. It didn’t work. My nail grew back with the fungus. He did a good job on the procedure, but I believe the laser treatments were worthless.

due to extensive problems secondary to a surgery preformed years ago by another surgeon, resulting in malformed toe joints, I was finally unable to wear shoes comfortably...Dr Avakian was recommended to me by a coworker.Having worked in the Medical field all my life, I was pleasantly impressed with his knowledge base,professionalism and caring attitude. He preformed corrective Surg (Outpatient) and I could not be more pleased with the results. He called that pm and next day for follow -up

I made my appointment with Dr. Avakian after being referred by a family member. I've had nagging pain in my ankles due to several sports injuries over the years. He was able to give me a pretty thorough examination and recommendations after spending time listening to my history and working on my ankles. I felt completely comfortable with him and especially with his assessment of how best to deal with my pain. I would recommend Dr. Avakian to anyone who has issues with their feet or ankles.

What a great man! I have seen Dr Avakian a couple of times and was extremely pleased with my visits. He even called me back a few days later to find out how I was doing.
