Phone forwards to an outside optometry office. Site contact form throws errors. Admin staff were rude. No telehealth option to review images from home. Going to look elsewhere.

I am a professional dancer and choreographer and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia in March 2017. I saw 5 other doctors who told me I would never dance again. Dr. Garabekyan understood what I did and how much it meant to me. Even though he was out of network for me, I felt that he had to be the one to do the surgery. He made me feel safe and I could tell he loved what he did just as much as I loved dance. I had to get an arthroscopy and one week later a PAO. I was so scared I wouldn't be able to do what I do, which uses a lot of extreme flexibility. But I felt I could trust Dr. Garabekyan and he explained to me all the ways it would be less invasive and also not leave such huge scars. Three and a half weeks after my surgery I took my first steps on my own without any crutches or walker, something every doctor told me would take several months. I could put my leg behind my head at 3 weeks, something they said I would never do again. I began teaching and dancing again after just 3 months. It's been 11 months now and i am completely back to dancing even better than before. I can do everything i did from flipping to extreme flexibility. He did not over correct which allowed me the flexibility but without the pain i had before. Dr. Garabekyan is a miracle worker who is passionate about his job and is very good at it. I am so grateful for him and recommend him to everyone!
