The most amazing doctor I have ever met. Dr. Larian is truly wonderful. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel a sense of calm and safety, and it's clear you're in top tier care with an incredible team. Everyone is so kind, attentive, and welcoming. I could honestly sit in that office for hours. Dr. Larian himself is so genuine, calm, intelligent, deeply caring, and incredibly detail-oriented. He communicates so clearly, thoughtfully and with so much warmth, and his presence alone is reassuring. Even his assistants reflect that same level of care and precision, and the entire office is beautiful, modern, spotless, and perfectly organized. I genuinely look forward to going back, which is something I never thought I'd say about a doctor's office. Thank you so much for everything! read more

I wanted to come in to have a look at my ear. $500.00 is just astronomical for a new patient visit. They don't take Medicare or my secondary insurance, which I understood. I went to urgent care instead. read more

This review is long overdue, but I'm actually glad I'm writing it more than a year after my surgery because it gives me even more perspective and appreciation for Dr. Larian and his practice. I traveled from out of town to see Dr. Larian after consulting with two other doctors in my area who did not impress me with their knowledge or recommendations. From the moment I met Dr. Larian, I was immediately impressed by his bedside manner, friendliness, and professionalism. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, discuss his recommendations, and review possible outcomes. He answered all of my questions with patience and respect, and by the end of the consultation, I knew without hesitation that he was the right provider for me. His credentials and experience certainly speak for themselves as well. Following surgery, my recovery was more challenging than expected, and I encountered some unforeseen issues. Throughout this difficult time, Dr. Larian was incredibly supportive and attentive. He stayed in close contact, monitored my progress, and continued to support me until everything was fully resolved. That level of care and commitment truly meant a great deal to me. Today, I am fully recovered and extremely grateful to Dr. Larian for the excellent care he provided. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, skilled, and genuinely kind physician. I would not hesitate to see him again if ever needed. Thank you so much Dr. Larian! read more

Babak has a very kind, gentle and caring disposition, his knowledge and experience, makes you feel comfortable and educated. I'd like to think I have very high-quality expectations especially in medicine. He did not disappoint. The staff were also accommodating for a last-minute cancellation to get me in sooner. What more can you ask for? read more

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Babak Larian. After a complex and emotionally exhausting experience with a failed parathyroid surgery elsewhere, I came to Dr. Larian for a second opinion. From our very first conversation, it was clear I was in the hands of an expert who genuinely cares. He took the time to thoroughly review my imaging, explain what went wrong during my first surgery, and walk me through a much simpler and more logical path forward -- all in a way that was clear, honest, and reassuring. His knowledge, precision, and compassion gave me immediate peace of mind. Dr. Larian's level of communication and attentiveness is rare in medicine. He never rushed the conversation, answered every question thoughtfully, and treated me with kindness and respect. It's obvious he takes great pride in his work and has a deep understanding of the nuances of parathyroid disease. If you're dealing with hyperparathyroidism, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Larian. He is not just a skilled surgeon -- he's an exceptional physician and person. read more

My husband had the privilege of receiving a detailed second opinion from Dr. Larian, after a failed surgery of locating the parathyroid with his current surgeon in SF. We asked dr. Larian to review all the labs scans to make sure everything was done and more couldn't be done to locate the overactive parathyroid. We are grateful for his expertise, thoroughness, and genuine care. From the moment he consulted with him, it was clear that he is not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply committed to patient well-being. Dr. Larian took the time to explain every detail of my husband's condition, answer all my questions, and ensure he fully understood his options. He reassured my husband he was in good hands with his current surgeon. And his current surgeon is doing the next steps he would do in ordering a ct scan to try to locate this or these parathyroid's. Thank you, Dr. Larian, for your outstanding care! read more

I have seen all of his videos I live in San Diego I have a thyroid disease and unfortunately he does not take Medicare! Even though I have a supplemental Blue shield... That's so sad because it does not give us older people the flexibility to find the best doctor, and for me I felt he would have been the best even though I had to travel to Los Angeles it would have been well worth it! I honestly say if I had the money I would definitely pay to have the best! I gave him five stars because he has taken his time to put out videos to educate the public... I wish he would contact me and give me a referral? Thank you doctor for your time... read more

Babak Larian, MD - Easter Sunday... - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Babak Larian is EXPERT! From his kind/caring, "trademark" soft-spoken "bed-side manner", mindfulness (a doc who actually KNOWS who you are and what's going on with you, without having to bumble through notes, when you're in his presence), prompt in his honoring/respect of your time/appointments - and perhaps most importantly of all, his world-class skill as a gentle-touch and accomplished surgeon (I can't even see a remaining incision scar), you'll find yourself in good hands under the care and expertise of Dr. Babak Larian. If you happen to find yourself in need of someone with much experience - especially as it relates to treating Hyperparathyroidism - you'll receive great care in this rare find of a doctor, along with his kind and efficient staff, whom you can feel good about putting your trust in. read more

Dr. Larian is a gem, and I don't mean a little diamond-he's basically the Hope Diamond! He embodies all good qualities in a seasoned physician: Knowledge, skills, patience, kindness, and a willingness to answer any and all questions to put his patients at ease. I saw a GP, an internist, an endocrinologist specializing in Parathyroid, and a Parathyroid surgeon before I met Dr. Larian. The information I received was confusing, scary, and disorganized, and as a person who is in healthcare, that made it more daunting. Not until I had the great fortune to meet Dr. Larian, did I understand Parathyroid disease, but he also was kind enough to explain the anatomy, ramifications of the disease, and details of the surgery. He answered all my questions with great patience and knowledge, and allayed any and all questions and fears I had about this surgery. He is the first doctor to make me feel this comfortable with the situation, and will for sure be my surgeon if I need surgery. He is AMAZING!! read more

From our first video consult, Dr. Larian invited confidence and trust. Now that my surgery is over, I can't recommend him highly enough. I went to Dr. Larian initially for Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA), thinking that would be my best treatment option. I had two large thyroid nodules that were (a) causing symptoms and (b) growing. Decision time. Dr. Larian gave me two options: RFA and nodulectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that offered a more definitive solution, while allowing us to preserve nearly all of the thryroid lobe. Bingo! Just to be safe, I sought out a second opinion with a surgeon closer to home. That surgeon told me why RFA and nodulectomy wouldn't work, and said my only option was to remove half the thyroid. But my thyroid was healthy. I thanked him and left. As soon as I got home, I set up a second consult with Dr. Larian, and that sealed the deal. The same warmth, caring and competence I had experienced on our first video call came through from the start on our second call. Throughout this process, I felt well cared for. Dr. Larian takes time to explain and educate. And just as he said, my recovery time was quick. After general anesthesia, a rather delicate surgery and a good long stretch in recovery, I stayed locally one night and drove home the next morning. I couldn't believe how good I felt. Dr. Larian and his office receive an A+ for reaching out to me before and after the surgery, keeping my family informed along the way, and following up with me twice (by Dr. Larian himself) after the surgery. All is good, and I am thrilled to have this done. Thank you, Dr. Larian, for your life's work! read more

Dr. Larian is truly the most incredible and honest Doctor I have ever met. My son had an accident at the gym and was told by two different doctors that he needs a closed reduction surgery for his nose. It would have been a surgery with hard recovery and financially very expensive. It was a very time sensitive surgery and had to be done within 10 days of the accident. I scheduled surgery with Dr. Larian, and he was supposed to see him the day before surgery just to go over details. Dr. Larian saw my son the day before the scheduled surgery, and popped the nose back into place in 20seconds and avoided surgery. He has such an amazing personality and he's so kind and humble. He's truly so honest and so remarkable. I can't say enough about him. Thank you Dr. Larian. read more

Just wanted to post an update - no recurrences and no side effects or scars 3 years out. Going with Dr. Larian was so obviously the best choice. Please do yourself a favor and let Dr. Larian and his staff help you with these tricky parotid tumor issues! Thanks again Dr. Larian and team! read more

A few months ago I was diagnosed with a parotid tumor. After meeting several experts who perform parotidectomies, I met with Dr. Larian. He was different than every one else I met. He immediately calmed any nerves or anxiety I was feeling about the surgery and reassured me that everything would be okay. Keep in mind, I don't think everything would've been okay if I had went with another doctor, but Dr. Larian is an exceptional surgeon and a true healer. Dr. Larian is the leading expert in dealing with parotid tumors. He was able to make a tiny incision and remove my tumor with clear margins. I have zero side effects and I can't believe only 6 weeks ago I had surgery. I am so incredibly grateful to Dr. Larian. The surgery was of no small cost, but to me it was worth it. He saved my face and that's something I'll have for the rest of my life. Thank you, Dr. Larian!!! read more

Husband went in for a consult. One of the best patient doctor experiences we've had. His bed side manner was amazing. Thank you!!! Appreciate your care. read more

I think about Dr. Larian a lot, actually, I had surgery more than 10 years ago and he changed my life. I suffered for 20 years and no doctor anywhere could help me. I went to one of the most well known medical centers in the world and they couldn't help me. I had swelling of both parotid glands off and on every day, especially when I would eat.. It was painful at times and very disfiguring. It affected my social life so terribly. I would NEVER eat in front of anyone. Nobody could figure out why it was happening. I was healthy and there were no stones or tumors. Dr. Larian listened to me and worked with me and we, together, decided he would simply open my ducts and rework them a bit to allow better saliva flow. It worked! I've been so happy ever since. Life changing. I think about Dr. Larian a lot. I'm very grateful. read more

From the first phone call to scheduling, to check-in, to visit, to check out-this was a top notch experience. Dr. Larian is so kind, patient, knowledgeable and easy to connect with. I went to him for a second opinion, false alarm type of situation, and not once did I feel like I was wasting his time. He was so lovely to me, especially when I teared up upon learning it was a false alarm and that what I was experiencing was easily remedied. He was the first ENT that actually gave me a substantive treatment plan, that also didn't include sprays or medication. He took plenty of time with me, listened to me, and wasn't dismissive and that can be hard to find. He went over my results thoroughly and made sure I understood what was going on. Now, a shout out for his team: when I called in, I was petrified-they were soothing, sweet and got me in b/c of last minute cancellation-above and beyond. Walking in was like walking into a friend's house, so welcoming and dare I say, fun? at a doctor's office? Check out was a breeze and the guys in the *parking structure* were cool too! I left there feeling so fortunate to be able to experience that kind of care and attention to detail. I slept well that night. This is one of those things where I kind of hope you DON'T ever have to go to a highly skilled ENT (b/c I wish you good health) BUT, if you DO, go HERE. Trust me. read more

#1 Parathyroid Surgeon in the United States, Dr. Babak Larian moments ago informed me about the successful operation he had just completed for my wife's parathyroid adenoma ! The challenging surgery was performed in a neck area affected by radiation and a prior thyroidectomy. The scar tissue and lack of the usual landmarks made this much more difficult than the usual procedure. But, he did it! As a fellow surgeon and head of a national preventive medicine organization, I know that some surgeons are good, some better, and some excellent. However, Dr. Larian is absolutely outstanding! I am so pleased that my wife and I chose the best parathyroid in the United States who is also a kind and caring human being. Wow! Dave Edmiston, MD Chief Executive Officer The Foundation of a Healthy America read more

Dr. Larian's offices are as impressive as he is. Everything is state of the art from start to finish. Front Desk - Excellent and Highly efficient. They followed up with making sure I got my paperwork to them on time, and patiently helped me through the online process. They are on top of everything. Dr. Larian - Excellent. He was the third ENT I had gone to, and the only one who went through everything with me in detail. He came into the room fully prepared. There was none of this shuffling through my folder to figure out who I was and what was wrong. He had already gone through all of my results (MRI/CT Scan and Ultrasound) and took nearly an hour with me going over my results, doing an additional ultrasound to ensure the first results were accurate, and then explained what my issues were. Even though he's out of network he was worth the visit. read more

Dr. Larian is simply one of the best, most skilled and knowledgeable doctors I have ever been to - let alone the best ENT. He is caring and patient and there for his patients. I had an accident in New York and he was available to look through my imaging and help me make an informed decision - that was very much the correct decision thanks to his input. I would fly across the country to see him and am very grateful that he is my doctor. read more

I just had a parathyroidectomy with Dr. Larian. I talked to half a dozen surgeons before I met him, I was looking for three things: 1. Someone who really cared, listened and let me have a say in my treatment plan 2. A clear understanding about internal scar tissue and how important it is to avoid it as much as possible 3. The option of staying awake during my procedure if at all possible Dr. Larian met all these criteria and more. I flew from out of state for a consultation and then my surgery. I was so grateful to be awake during the whole thing and I am amazed at how great it went! Dr. Larian was so kind and the surgery didn't hurt! And now I'm marveling at the tiny size of my incision. The biggest hurdle for me was my anxiety. I learned from this experience about how important it is to advocate for myself and to keep looking until I find someone I completely trust. Thank you Dr. Larian for being that surgeon! read more

I actually did not turn out to have a parathyroid tumor, but I still wanted to write a review because Dr. Larian is the highest quality medical professional I have ever seen. He LISTENS to his patients and he really tries to help you. He's legitimately a good person too. I've had so many bad experiences with doctors, but this whole staff gives you the care you always hope to get. read more

I visited Dr. Babak Larian for a second opinion and possible surgery with him yesterday (5/6/21). Had I been able to get out of my already scheduled other surgery I would definitely have proceeded with him. He was extremely knowledgeable and, in addition, was able to share his knowledge. I have hyperparathyroidism and had lots of questions to ask; they were all answered. With his state of the art technology, he could show me the whole surgical process in detail. I have high confidence in his abilities as a surgeon. In addition, they would have been able to squeeze me in to his very busy surgery schedule as well. Could not rate him any higher! If I ever develop any other head/neck/ ear/nose/throat problems, I'll definitely will reach out to him first! Jutta WG read more

I went to see Dr. Larian today as I have been experiencing dizziness. I was so impressed with the entire process. The front office staff was lovely and able to squeeze me in on short notice. From the moment I arrived the staff was professional, organized and timely. I also love the look and feel of the office. It may be the prettiest doctors office I've ever been in! Very modern and chic. I was taken back to a room immediately and waited no more than 5 minutes for Dr. Larian. As others have commented, Dr. Larian has incredible bedside manor. He listened thoroughly and asked detailed questions to understand my concerns. He followed that with a physical exam and then was able to use computer imaging to show me exactly what was going on. Turns out allergies were all that was going on! I was given a rinse for my nose and told to give it a few weeks! read more

I'm very happy to have chosen him for my ENT needs. Dr. Larian speaks with the calmness of someone who has discovered the meaning of life, and has taken care of my issue better than anyone ever has. I should also mention that the rest of his staff is very helpful and accommodating as well. Definitely coming back! read more

Dr. Larian is the best ENT I've ever seen. He's cured every issue I've ever had and is also really nice. I've sent friends to him and they all feel the same. read more

Babak Larian, MD - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

This is a thank you to a physician who deserves to be recognized. My 90+ year old grandmother had come to me for a check up, cleaning and a new lower denture. A dentist myself, I examined her and noticed a suspicious area in her lower left. It was enough to concern me so after finishing her dental work that day I sent her for a biopsy of the area to see what's going on. A week later a lab report and the phone call I was dreading came through. The diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma in the mouth. I know this is an aggressive form of cancer and I was concerned. The oral and Maxillofacial surgeon referred me to Dr. Larian. From the minute our family met him we were just overwhelmed with his care and attention. He explained the process to the entire family and most importantly to us, he moved promptly. He sent grandma out for a CT scan the next business day and got her to Cedars within a week to remove the carcinoma. He's skillful, highly attentive, patient, kind, and an utmost gentleman. I thank him and appreciate him. He is an asset to our community. Grandma is recovering well and will make it. Thank you so very much Dr. Larian. read more

I've visited Dr. Larian multiple times, and I can state with complete confidence that going to see Dr. Larian is an absolutely top-notch experience. It's abundantly clear from the moment you meet Dr. Larian that he is a master in his field. Dr. Larian has by far the most impressive "bedside manner" that I've ever seen in a medical professional - you can tell that he truly cares for the wellbeing of his patients. This attention to detail and overarching sense of empathy can also be found in the individuals that comprise his wonderful staff. The combination of medical expertise and warmth is topnotch and unparallelled; I would recommend Dr. Larian without hesitation! read more

I am so thankful to have been under Dr. Larian's care to remove a pleomorphic adenoma on my parotid gland. He is very knowledgeable and experienced and was patient in answering all my questions. After a few days after surgery, I was able to get back to normal life again and friends couldn't even tell that I had gotten surgery. He is compassionate, reassuring, and highly skilled in his work. His minimally invasive technique allows for a quick recovery with no complications. He even texted me after the surgery to make sure I was okay. I couldn't be happier with the results and it was the best decision I could have made! read more

After being turned down by numerous ENT docs to review my CT scans to determine why I could not catch my breath, Dr. Larian not only reviewed them but came up with a game plan. He told me that my airway has scar tissue that keeps growing causing my airway to get blocked. This is a side-effect from the numerous intubations I have had. It was such a relief to finally have an answer on why just walking up a few steps or talking too long, I would lose my breath and my voice. He also was able to determine after an examination that my vocal cords were damaged. Totally sucks but totally exciting that I had answer to all these issues. Dr. Larian was upfront that it would not be a quick cure and laid out his plan of action. He was honest and took into account my other medical issues: heart transplant and an aortic dissector/EDS patient. He willing works with my other doctors to make sure everyone is on the same page. His office team is efficient, friendly and willing to go the distance to assist me. I live in Hawaii and need to plan ahead to fly to LA for my surgeries in removing scar tissue. Dr. Larian and his team are always helpful and wonderfully supportive whether it's prepping me for surgery or advising my insurance company that this is NOT a cosmetic surgery...but sort of life and death (insert sarcastic tone here.) Dr. Larian has a calm and confident demeanor. His presence before surgery is always calming to the senses and better than Ativan. ;-) Thanks to Evelina for going over and beyond to make sure I always have a surgical room ready when I fly in from Hawaii. I wish I had a private jet to make it less stressful for you, Evelina! It's been 3 years since I first started on this path and I can't thank Dr. Larian enough for giving me my breath back and a quality of life I can now live. Thanks to Dr. Larian for being so patient with me and my complicated body. You are truly an incredible surgeon and doctor. So happy you are on my medical team. read more

Dr. Babak Larian and his team are the most professional and competent diagnosticians and surgeons, they are phenomena. As a health care provider myself I was very picky and chose to go and meet with several ENT and plastic sergeants, and now I can tell that I had made the best decision in my life by choosing Dr. Babak and Dr. Azizzadeh. I had parotid gland tumor for over a year, after doing the MRI Dr. Babak recommended needle aspiration biopsy which was performed painless after spending 30 minutes with Him. This can tell a lot about the 30 minutes we spent together, explaining my situation, giving me all the needed time, making me feel very comfortable and confident that I want him to do the surgery. After 48 hours from the biopsy he called me personally to tell its benign one, so afterwords we started to be prepared for the procedure. We met one week prior to the procedure and he explained the incision type, recovery period, what to expect and how long the procedure will take. He had such a positive influence on me by taking away all the fear and doubts regarding injuring the facial nerve and how he and his team will monitor the nerve and the branches during the 5 hour procedure. I had my surgery on Sept 10 th, before the procedure he came just to say everything will be ok, by that time I was kind of nervous so I looked into his eyes and told that I trust him and that's why I chose him, he just promised with confident that everything will be just fine! And he had his words by all mean. Surgery was performed at La Peer Health Systems, very nice, clean, organized and beyond any expectations out patient surgical center. The minute I woke up from the general anesthesia I was able to smile normally, shake my shoulders, move my neck, and blinking my eyes just like before the procedure. I went home the same day, with minimum pain, and never had the feeling that I just went out of a surgery. He called me that night to check on me, which gave me a feeling of how much he care about patients. What amaze me that Dr. Babak was very accurate and right with every single word he said about the procedure and the recovery period. So it was a package of successful patient , Dr. Relationship and care starting from his awesome office financial coordinators specially Shelly ! In a week I was back to my normal life and work schedule! And it's been already 25 days and the wound is unnoticeable. I will defiantly recommend Dr. Babak as he is one of a kind human and Dr. read more

Babak Larian, MD - Just 24 H after the surgery ! - Ear Nose & Throat Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Just as kind, patient and professional as all the other reviews suggest. Very intelligent, I highly recommend Dr. Larian. I was seen yesterday, Nov, 14, 2016 at 2pm so this is about as recent of a review as you can get. My review is long and detailed, as I tend to think it's the little things, (the attention to detail), that make for a good experience. If you don't want to read it, just know that he is a wonderful doctor who makes you feel welcomed and doesn't make you feel rushed and who really knows his stuff. I would tell any of my loved ones to come to Dr. Larian with great confidence! 5 stars Plus!! Dr. Larian is not in my insurance network but I decided to pay cash for a consultation. Completely worth every dollar! After researching online and reading other reviews, I emailed Dr. Larian's staff at 4am pleading for help from a sudden onset of disturbing symptoms that had sent me to the ER twice in one week. Shelly responded to my email by 6am, just two hours later, and scheduled me an appointment for two days later. Shelly was super nice and knowing I would be seen soon gave me a great deal of relief. I was very touched by their effort to get me seen swiftly, especially since I was feeling very ill. After scheduling my appointment, Shelly told me Megan would be calling in a few moments to go over some information. Right on time I received a call from Megan; she was very helpful in answering all my questions. Obviously Dr. Larian's staff is very well organized and enjoy what they do. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. Two days later, I met with Dr. Larian. I was waiting in the consultation room for only a few moments when he poked his head in while he was on a phone call, smiled warmly and nodded. Such a simple gesture, but I knew he was taking his time to acknowledge me and letting me know he would be in soon while he finished up what he was doing. I thought that was so considerate, though I hadn't been waiting for very long. I think Dr. Larian must understand something many doctors do not. We as patients know you're busy, we know "stuff" comes up, we just want to be acknowledged that you know we are here, that you haven't forgotten about us. For me, that small gesture went a long way. Dr. Larian came in a few minutes later and sat down. I explained what I had been experiencing. He was very patient, letting me tell him my symptoms and what I had been going through. He listened without interrupting me and was not dismissive. He asked me some questions and had Megan take me to the exam room. Dr. Larian gave me a exam to check a few things and helped to reassure me that we would get things figured out. He ordered blood work and told me he would call me after he received it. He explained a few things to me about blood calcium and made me feel better about everything that was going on. I had such a positive, pleasant experience with Dr. Larian. The reviews on here are completely accurate as to how wonderful of a doctor this man is. If you're considering going anywhere else, do yourself a favor- don't!!! read more

So... I have had multiple nose surgeries b/c I broke my nose in basketball games. I went to 3 different doctors, performed 3 different surgeries and NONE of them corrected my breathing nor the deviation of my septum.... well UNTIL Dr. Larian. His office is very nice and clean. They even offer water, coffee, and treats while you wait. I walked into his office and his receptionists were so friendly and helpful. They really try to accomodate you - appointments, medicine, surgery, etc. You know how most doctors try to rush through patients? Dr. Larian doesn't, he takes the time to tell you what's wrong (in detail), suggests options, and then asks if you have any questions. He is great, not to mention down to earth, not like most grumpy doctors. He even called and texted after my surgery to make sure I was recovering properly. When I am sick and have a sore throat or sinus pressure, I see him as well b/c he is a ear, nose, and throat doctor. I would definitely recommend him. read more

I just wanted to thank Dr. Larian for posting his facebook live discussions on parotid and salivatory gland disorders. After just recently being diagnosed with a parotid cancerous tumor several days ago I watched all of the facebook videos and they were very informative and helped me to understand the condition and treatment I would be facing. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Mike P. read more

After going to five other renown surgeons in the field, who insisted that an "S type", old fashioned face lift cut (very long), was the only way to remove a mass from my parotid gland, sitting on my facial nerve, I am relieved to say that I went with the wonderful Dr. Larian. Not only was the entire experience with his staff and nurses, outstanding- every doctor should have a Ms Shelley, but the level of care and expertise the doctor exhibited was exemplary. I will be posting before and after pictures shortly to demonstrate just how skillful this surgeon is. He is a specialist. The cut that he made was tiny and discreet around my ear. I have absolutely no scar visible. None. I am talking perfection. I have artificial tissue filling in the hole that was left after excising the mass that was expertly placed-also seamless. He was so gentle, I didn't even take an Advil. Amazingly, Two months after the surgery, feeling returned to my ear and below my jaw, which I fully expected would not happen for a year, if ever. I had been so worried that movement might be affected in my face. It has not been. The doctor was patient, compassionate and tactful delivering the not such great news about the mass being a rare kind of carcinoma. This was an entirely unexpected diagnosis, and he was very honest about my options. Honestly, the best experience possible. I can't recommend this doctor highly enough. And, let me assure you, I am a patient. Rajia Baroudi read more

Dr. Larian and his staff are the epitome of professional. Obviously his education and professional positions are impressive, but his personal style and "bedside manner" are what makes him special. I never once felt rushed with him or his staff. My surgery was an ideal experience for me. I even received a call from Dr. Larian the day after to see how I was doing. (I had an M.I.T. thyroidectomy last year and decided to finally post a review because I continue to get comments about my nearly invisible scar.) I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Larian. read more

It's difficult to find the right words to express my gratitude for Dr. Larian and his entire staff - extremely professional, compassionate and caring people like you've never met before. Dr. Larian did a surgery on my parotid gland to remove a pleomorphic adenoma. This is a serious surgery and it requires great precision and experience. If not done properly it could leave devastating complications on your face. Finding Dr. Larian was a blessing for me. He took the time to answer all my questions and addressed all my concerns before and after my surgery. After meeting with him you know you are in good hands. Dr. Larian is the most knowledgeable and experienced surgeon in his field. The tumor I had was about 2 inches, which is significant. I was worried the incision would leave a big scar and a dent on my face. This was no problem for Dr. Larian. He does a minimally invasive surgery to remove this type of tumor along with reconstruction of the impacted area which means no visible scar and extremely fast recovery. Only 4 days after my surgery I looked and felt fully functional. Exactly 7 days after surgery I'm back at the office as if nothing had happened at all. I traveled from DC to LA for my surgery. His staff helped and guided me through all the steps - from the moment I first called their office to make an appointment, all the way to my safe return home. Communicating with them was as easy as calling a friend. Choosing Dr. Larian was the best decision for me. I'll forever be grateful! Amazing doctor and amazing results! read more

Dr Larian is an amazing practitioner and I highly recommend him. I saw him the same day I called for an appointment, as the office staff was understanding, kind and helpful, and they fit me in right away. Dr Larian took the time to really listen to my health history and come up with my diagnosis, after I have been suffering in pain for months. I have seen several doctors who brushed it off or were too busy to follow up, but he really paid attention to the small details and focused on my symptoms.
