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.

Knowledgeable and experienced, but also friendly.
Not only is Dr. Babajanian knowledgeable and experienced, his personal character also plays a large role in how he treats his patients. Dr Babajanian has a very warm and friendly personality. He treated me professionally and with respect. He is very approachable, he listened to all my concerns. And he answered all of my questions. I am super happy that I visited him today. He even left me a lengthy voicemail answering more of my questions after he reviewed my audiology report from my audiologist. Thank you, Dr. Babajanian. God bless you. Vartohi O.

He fixed my nose
I have a broken nose with a deviated septum. So, I suffered from severe nasal congestion. I thought it was incurable because of my hay fever. I would awake in the night unable to breathe and was forced to use my Neti Pot in the middle of the night, along with two different sprays, which offered scant relief. Finally, I went to see Dr. Babajanian. He said he could help by reducing the size of my turbinates (the hydrating bulges inside my nose, which were swollen) and by straightening the septum of my broken nose to provide a larger airway. Three weeks ago, I had surgery. It took just 90 minutes at an outpatient center in Beverly Hills. I was home before lunch. I felt no pain either during or after the procedure. I was uncomfortable for one week after because he had placed tiny splints inside my nose to guide the healing of my straightened septum. Dr. Babajanian is a very skilled, very kind, and attentive doctor. His office is very well run. The surgery was a great success.

I have been a patient of Dr. Babajanian for close to 28 years. He is by far the most compassionate, caring and patient Doctor who has always exceeded any expectations and treated me as I was a family member. I have been taking my daughters to him any time needed for 23 years and they absolutely trust him and know he will take care of them. Making appointments have at all times been quick and the wait has always been under 10 minutes. He always had time to talk to me any time of the day, caring for my father who had a tracheotomy even took time out of his weekends and changed his trach and took time to call and support me and my parents for as long as I can remember....I along with every member of my family are truly blessed to have him as our doctor and now friend

Referred for removal of a large obstructive nasal polyp. Conservative treatment was tried first but eventually surgery was needed. Surgery was uneventful with no post operative problems. He showed great care and concern. Very professional. Highly recommended

I to this doctor complaining of a sinus infection. He recommended that I use an antibiotic ointment and proceeded to put some in my nose. Using the same swab, he dipped it into the tube and started to put it in the second nostril. I went ballistic! I said, that’s is not sterile technique! You could be infecting me and other patients by contaminating that tube with my swab. You cannot do that. Viruses are not killed by antibiotics and you could be passing them to the next patient. He asked how I could possibly know that, and I said because I’m a healthcare provider. I told him the tube of ointment probably cost him a dollar and if he wanted to give the patient the tube that was different but he needed to stop his current technique. I will never go to this doctor again and have told all my friends and internist who referred me about the incident.

Dr Babajanian is a conservative physician as well as a kind and excellent listener who takes his time explaining his decisions and makes sure you understand everything. His office is great as well, just really nice and personable. I can not recommend Dr Babajanian highly enough!

The best at his specialty for sure! Had polyps removed from my sinuses in 2011 and from the time of the first appointment to the actual surgery, I felt in good hands. There is a reason why every doctor recommends Dr. Babajanian. I was at work a day after my surgery. Unbelievably professional, very friendly! Can't believe I had not left a review since my surgery!

Dr. Babajanian performed my hemithyroidectomy. He is thorough, meticulous, and takes great care in explaining pre and post-operative procedures and issues. His staff is excellent and both he and they are responsive and caring people. His reputation as an excellent surgeon proved more than true from my experience.

I am extremely grateful for the expertise of Dr. Babajanian. He removed a large tumor from my salivary gland, saving my facial nerve. From the first appointment where he spent nearly an hour getting to know me, patiently answering my questions, to reassuring me before the surgery and finally investigating my case further and checking to see how my recovery was going, I was so impressed by his knowledge and compassion for me as his patient. I am honored to have Dr. B on my team.

God bless Dr. Babajanian. I had difficulty breathing through my nose for several years. Allergists and pulmonologists gave me sprays and drugs. None of them worked, but they did have side effects. Finally I saw Dr. Babajanian who said I had a structural defect in my nose that could only be fixed by surgery. Dr. Babajanian operated and now I can breathe again. I threw all the sprays and drugs in the trash can.
