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.

Very happy with the results and recovery of our daughter's PAO surgery. After visiting multiple surgeons, would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Garabekyan.

They don’t take most insurance. Out of network and will bill for the difference between what the insurance companies give them and what they feel like they should be getting. I prefer Drs that aren’t as greedy and don’t send patients exorbitant bills. There’s plenty of good Drs out there that take out of network benfits and are happy enough with what the insurance pays them to not make their patients in debt for the balance

all questions were answered, Dr.G was cautious and explained the procedure very clearly. Was encouraging and happy with my progress, which encouraged me to keep working hard on my recovery. Recommended a great physical therapy group. His assistant Zohra has been very helpful, as well.

So far my interactions have been positive, very helpful and always willing to listen. Both Dr Garabekyan and Zohra have been wonderful to deal with and they make a great medical team. I'm hoping to get both my hips fully working soon and Dr G had been great pre and post surgery with all my issues.

I am not sure there are enough superlatives to describe my experience w Dr Garabekyan and his assistant, Zohra. They never seemed to be rushed, are always willing to answer questions, even if they are repeat questions. Both have excellent bedside manner. I am 66 yrs old and I have had issues with my Hip for about 20 yrs. Drs kept telling me that my hip was fine although it was extremely painful at times and unable to support me. Dr Garabekyan diagnosed my issue within 2 min of seeing my x-ray and MRI. Surgery was scheduled and I had FAI and labrum repair. No hip replacement in my future!!!!I am so grateful that I found him and his team. My recovery has been very smooth, I walked right after surgery. I am without pain and playing golf again with that pain a distant memory.
