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.

Unprofessional
I'm not going to say many things here but Tatevik Darbinian is very unprofessional. She demands payment in cash and told me that if I didn't pay 6 sessions in advance she would file false paperwork.

Absolutely Horrible
Tatev Darbinian is a delusional fantasist. She cannot be trusted. I wish I looked at her reviews before I hired her. She has no idea what's she's doing. Avoid at all costs.

Number one speech therapist for us!
We are incredibly thankful to Tatev for helping our son overcome his speech challenges! She is not only an exceptional speech therapist but also an extraordinary person who genuinely cares about her clients. When we missed a few classes, she went above and beyond to make up for the sessions, demonstrating her commitment to our son's progress. In contrast to our previous therapist, who struggled to engage our son, Tatev's approach was transformative. Our son, who previously struggled to recall words, was able to repeat words within a week of working with Tatev! Her patience, kindness, and creative methods made therapy sessions enjoyable and effective. We no longer worry about our son's memory issues, thanks to Tatev's expertise and dedication. We highly recommend her to any family seeking a compassionate and skilled speech therapist. I read reviews and I’m shocked what they talk about. How during Covid she could work with masks if this is a SPEECH therapy?!!!

Forever Grateful to Tatev
We are forever grateful to Tatev for helping our son find his voice! She is an exceptional speech therapist who possesses a unique gift for connecting with children. Our son, who was once struggling to speak, flourished under her guidance and care. What sets her apart is her ability to make therapy sessions engaging and fun, making our son look forward to her classes. She was the only professional who could capture his attention and inspire him to communicate. Thanks to her dedication, expertise, and kindness, our son has made tremendous progress and is now thriving. We highly recommend Tatev to any family seeking a compassionate and effective speech therapist. She is truly a gem in her field!

THE BEAT SPEECH THERAPIST EVER!
Telehealth
When Tatev began working with my child, my child spoke only 15 words. In just 5 months, we witnessed remarkable progress. Now, my child communicates in beautifully simple sentences. Tatev is incredibly knowledgeable and educated. I feel immensely fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such a wonderful person like Tatev.

Avoid Tatev Darbinian Horrible Person
Tatev Tiffany Darbinian is the worst speech therapist in Glendale or Burbank, California. She will recommend twice a week speech therapy to fatten her pockets. She demands payments in cash and typically before the session starts. She will pump you up with positive reinforcement (Basically lies) so you continue to pay her weekly thinking everything is going great and then play dumb during the final assessment and blind-side you with a report that contradicts everything she has been saying for months. And the best part, she will quit right after the report so you don't have to fire her for being a big fat liar. I guess it's easier to quite then to get fired right, Tatev?. Avoid Tiffany or Tatev whatever she wants to call herself but regardless she's a liar.

Worst Speech Therapist
I wish I could give 0 stars. I took my son to Loriani Speech therapy because I thought it would be a good experience for us. Even though it was out of my insurance network, I decided to give it a try because as a Mom I always want the best for my kids. I was totally wrong. At the end, the therapy didn't work...And not only that, they are overcharging me for the services they provided. She sent me a bill which I send to my insurance to help me with a small % payment. Once my insurance paid their portion, I ended up with a higher bill that I received before! The reason:, is because they overcharge the insurance 100% more per therapy. So it doesn't matter if my insurance cover part of the bill, because Tatev Darbinian overcharged them, now the bill is higher than before. This is absolutely unacceptable and extremely upsetting. Please stay away from this place. There are many great Therapy Center that have much better

Horrible Speech Therapist
If you could avoid this place please do. Tatev Darbinian has a serious attitude problem at first she's nice but when interacting and you need to find resolutions she is not the one to go to. The main issue here is their very unorganized, not communicative or accommodating they have hardly any availability. Their is no chain of command so if Tatev decides no services you will not receive no services. Every time you call she doesn't answer and takes days to respond. I would avoid this place.

Horrible Experience
TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!! I called to make an appointment for my grandson, someone who answered the phone told me she will give the message to the therapist and they will contact me, it has been over 3 months and I am still waiting. Also I emailed them to the email they have in their website for the therapist to contact me, once again I still waiting. I don't know how busy they are because is nobody in that office except for the receptionist but I think is very unprofessional that nobody cares to at least call a potential patient. No wonder why that office is always empty, must well closed down. PS. I put 1 start cause it doesn't allow me posting without marking none.

Tatevik Tiffany Tatev Darbinian
The reason why I'm reviewing low is because of the covid protocols that Tatevik Tiffany Darbinian didn't implement on the day we went. She wasn't even wearing a mask and called Covid a government fraud. We went on one of the free try it out days, we got there in the morning before any families had arrived. As more families arrived I noticed that no other kids were mandated to wear masks, and all the kids were over 2 y/o. This could be because they had a prior arrangement but nonetheless they should announce it maybe to other parents so that it's not worrisome. If I knew other kids wouldn't be wearing masks (my kid out of five kids was the only one wearing a mask) I wouldn't take my daughter. One of the other kids had a VERY runny nose and dribbling on the play mat and putting toys in their mouth, their mom was not in close proximity to catch that as she was chatting with other parents. This mom knew he has a runny nose because ever so often she would go to her kid and wipe his nose, di

This place is located in a rundown building with multiple suites. The actual office is upstairs, which is difficult to get to with young children. There is an elevator you can opt to take versus the stairs, but there is usually a homeless man sleeping right in front of it so not my preferred choice. The actual "therapy" office is old and dirty all around. The waiting room is puny with stained chairs. The toys in there are also dirty. Tatev Darbinian is extremely unorganized--and probably untrained. They also don't let you schedule appointments until they have "official" proof that your insurance covers services. I guess they only care about the money, but fail to realize how many well-to-do patients they have--who could easily pay out of pocket if need be. Additionally, stinky Tatev Darbinian only see your child for half an hour, which makes this place an extreme waste of time to come to. This place clearly doesn't care about their cleanliness, professionalism, or potential patients. S

Shaddy Tatevik Darbinian
I had a very bad experience with Loriani Speech therapy run by shaddy Tatevik Darbinian. On the first day I decided to stop any service from this organization. I felt, Loriani Speech is run very unprofessionally and their processes are loosely handled. I had billing issues on the first day. I would recommend caution and avoid for this organization.

The facility is located in the horrible neighborhood with homeless sleeping under the stairs etc. people smoking on the first floor, so the smoke were coming inside the room during the session. their air conditioner does not work, so we had sessions in the room with temperature of 98f inside the room. The place is outdated, everything is falling apart. The bathroom is very dirty and small. The waiting room is small. The speech therapist Tatevik Darbinian is a joke and I felt like she did not make any individualized plan for my child's needs. She never send me the materials I was asking her to send me through email. The only one They can only schedule 2 weeks in advance, so sometimes we didn't receive the time we needed. Sometimes instead of 1 h session they offered us 30 min and the time was not convenient for my son's schedule with 20h aba a week. Avoid Tatev Darbinian at all costs. Unexperienced and unprofessional.

I rate a one star. As a concerned parent I feel it's important to let people know that Tatev Tiffany Darbinian is not professional. She kept asking for money and wanted to charge for reports constantly she would surprise me with large bills and demand money in cash. I do not recommend and will find someone more experienced and not a crook like her.

Very unprofessional. Very small cramped place. Does not want parents to see the therapies and it because some times the door has opened and they are not even giving therapy. Disrespectful Tatevik Darbinian . Do not show intetest about children just money. They encourage children to go sick with flu to not lose bills. You request to see what they are billing on your account and they do not want to give it. they use any excuse to not give it. All about money. Very sad the situation for special needs children

It's very clear this agency doesn't care about the children they are supposed to be helping. They view them as "caseloads" and care more about the money they can make. I would avoid as best as you can.

I do not recommend this place to any parent. They only care about them and not the children they are suppose to treat and help. After months of waiting for my son to get the therapy they decide to not deal with insurance issues and tell me that they will not help my son. I wait for them to finish al the process now because of them. I have to start all over again and what bothers me is that they jus do not care about the children who need to therapies. A place like this should be all about them. They do not care if they get behind in their learning. Their management is only about get paid. They left my son lose months in the waiting just to not help him. Months that are very important at this young age. Treatment as so

I am very disappointed with the customer service from Loriani Speech. We had two problems during this time first, my sessions were in the morning and weeks before my son was going to begin another program in the morning I let the front desk know and I talked to Tatev about switching to the afternoon and finding another therapist in that schedule she said was going to look for that when the time arrived her response was "we don't have any availability at that time" so we had to change to do one session per week instead of two like we were doing. Also she added "I let your coordinator know if you want to change providers" at that point I didn't like that answer because is not easy to start over it takes time to find another one and to get to know the therapist and get my son to feel comfortable working with a new person, etc. my response was "I told you in advance so you can manage to find a way of helping us" but she was not helpful at all
