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 Informative
The doctor spent an enormous amount of time explaining the procedures recommended for me specifically. It was a tailored approach to me.

Beauty and Precision!
Everything about this office is precise. From the moment I walked in. Front office greets with a smile and thorough check in. Pre op appointment with Pattie was amazing. She covered everything with perfect precision! So friendly and extremely well organized. She covered things I had not even thought about!! Had a brief meeting with Dr Balikian and he was very chipper, happy and of course thorough and precise! Next, off to my final stop with the always cheerful and thorough Shirley! Looking forward to my next experience!!!

Dr Balikian is truly top in this field and nurses Joann and Lupe are so wonderful too. Receptionist Shirley is the kindest receptionist you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend this office for facials to enhancing procedures.

10 out of 10 experience for my first time
I went for the first time about 10 minutes ago, and if I could give it 20 out of 5 stars I would. The people at the front desk were so kind and welcoming. Lupe did my treatment, and was so quick to calm my nerves, comfort me, and was just overall the sweetest soul. Looking forward to my next visit, I will definitely be back.

Amazing Doctor and Staff
I am very pleased with my experience and results from Dr. Balikian. He performed a lower bleph, skin pinch and fat grafting on under eyes. I loved how well everyone treated me, took care of me, communicated with me and was so timely every step of the way. I love how nice the facility is and surgery was impeccable. It went so smooth and easy. I love Dr. Balikian’s natural approach to surgery and not overdoing it. I am very pleased with how things turned out and will come back to him again in future if I do anything to my face again. Also, recommended him to many and many asked just based on my results. Thanks!!

Of the highest caliber
I’ve been a patient of Dr Balikian for almost 20 years. Thirteen years ago he did a neck and partial face lift as that’s what he recommended. It was perfection. I didn’t look artificial nor did I look unnatural, just younger. I was so thrilled with the results. He is a true artist and knows what each person needs. Many of my friends loved my results that they came to see him. Here we are thirteen years later and his work stood the test of time. I couldn’t be happier. This is a highly skilled doctor. His staff is equally of the highest caliber. Love, love, love Debra and Joann. They absolutely know placement when it comes to fillers and injectables. I highly recommend Dr. Balikian and his staff.
