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.

Worst Doctor Experience
This was one of the worst doctor experiences of my life. He was so incredibly dismissive and rude. I never got the feeling that he actually reviewed any of my scans or medical records. He was in & out so quickly. I described to him that my knees had been in so much pain for months and it had gotten worse and I needed to figure out a relief plan. He didn't want to discuss any options. He only wanted me to get some more blood work (did he even look at the blood work I had already gotten?) and go to the physical therapy that was connected to his practice, even though I had told him that when I had tried physical therapy, it had made my knees worse! He didn't care. I was in so much pain and needed help and even started crying towards the end of our VERY SHORT interaction, and as he was walking out the door, he turned to me coldly and said 'I've known you for less than 10 minutes. You just have to trust the process.' And walked out. What a horrible thing to say to someone who's in pain.

I've had the privilege of having Dr. Stephan Yacoubian perform my knee surgery. I could not have been in better hands. His subtle confidence puts your mind at ease, but more than that his experience and talent is most remarkable. My surgery was fantastic. I was able to walk without crutches and without pain the very next day. My experience was nothing more than outstanding. Thank you Dr. Yacoubian.

Dr Yacoubian is kind, compassionate and attentive to a patients needs. He operated on my left knee in 2013. with a series of shots regain an active lifestyle. In 2 weeks he'll operate on my right knee for another meniscus tear similar to what I had in my left knee. I have every confidence in his skills and knowledge. The office staff is fantastic especially Missy the surgical coordinator, Becky who coordinates my shots as well as the front office staff are all outstanding! Awesome doctor!!!!

As an physician, I searched for a top notch orthopedic surgeon. I found one in Dr. Stephan Yacubian. Thanks to Dr Yacubian's expertise, I have a new knee that works beautifully! Coordinator Missy Rivas arranged all the details flawlessly. and office staff friendly and efficient. Dr Yacubian has my highest recommendation.

Dr. Yacoubian is a great doctor. He helped my mother with her osteo-arthritis problem in her knee. He was able to get her quality of life back through a series of shots. She regained her mobility and is much happier now!
