    I was referred to Dr. Armen Oganesian's office from my primary doctors office because I was having…read moresevere nerve pain in my lower back and down my right leg and foot. When I called Dr. Oganesian's office I spoke with Christina and she was able to get me into see Dr O's office within a timely manner. Dr. O was very quick to evaluate the urgency of the situation and the level of weakness that I was experiencing in my right leg and foot. Dr. O and his staff have been extremely accommodating and sensitive to my needs and concerns. Dr. O explained this advanced procedure that would have a much faster recovery and healing time compared to my previous back surgery that took me over 4 months to recover. Dr. O perform an endoscopic surgery - discectomy on my lower spine. I was able to go home that same day, where the last surgery in northern CA I was in hospital for 3 days and had a lot of discomfort from the surgery site. This time, it felt nothing like that experience. Friends and family saw me up and moving around within days. Obviously it is still a surgery and I did have to recover and have physical therapy, but this experience with Dr O and his staff really impressed me. They assisted me and my wife especially when I was struggling in pain. I'm in a much better situation now after being treated by Dr O. Having back surgery is a serious matter and I'm not one to jump into surgery unless I feel comfortable with the surgeon and their evaluation, skill and perspective of need for surgery. Thank you Dr O and staff for the high level of care you provided along with support you gave my wife and family pre and post surgery. I am feeling so much relief from pain in my back and leg as I was not able to function at all pre surgery, so it has been a dramatic improvement on how I'm feeling. Thanks for your genuine concern and care for me and my family. Neil Goldberg

    Made an appointment a week and half ago. Told them I have records I can bring in during that call…read more The front office girl whom I can't even understand said it was ok and that they would request the records from my doctor. I had an appointment today at 11am. I call 10:45 because my televist link wasn't sent. That's when I found out that my appointment was canceled because they did not have the records. I also cannot get an appointment until June because Dr. Martin will be out doing surgeries all of May. How do you run a business like this? This is the worst experience I have ever had with the healthcare system. Some people are not meant to be doctors.

    This surgeon is in my opinion a very incompetent, and dangerous man. No one should submit to…read moresurgery by him. I have photos of at least 9 lawsuits by patients families that their loved ones either died or seriously harmed at his hand. I have reported him to the CA Medical Board but everyone is covering up for him, Dr. Death. He operated out of several hospitals but not an employee of these hospitals. He has so many different names, so many different websites, you get the picture. Some of the names are: California Institute of Neuroscience, Inc., California Brain Institute, Inc. Cineuro.org. Also, he goes by several different names. Very sketchy. He even lost the part of my brother's skull during a surgery that he botched, where my brother eventually died. He pretends he is the best in the world, but look out. The problem is most people don't have time to google him or do a deep dive as their loved ones are in the emergency room with brain injuries, that need immediate care. But you can find all this information on Unicourt.com or Trellis.com, that shows you how many people have been injured by his surgery. This needs a below a one star review, it should be a minus one thousand.

    Dr Armstrong is a fine surgeon, The BEST. I do not live even…read moreclose to Thousand Oaks but to have him as ones surgeon it is worth the long drive. He removed a cyst/tumor which had wrapped itself around my sciatic nerve. I was ready to dance the day following surgery! In January Dr Armstrong performed a fusion between C5 and C6 . Again, his work was spot on. And the scar is almost invisible.

    This office is a mess…read more They don't return phone calls. They don't call your insurance to get approval for scans. You have to call them over and over again to try to get them to do their job. After months, yes! MONTHS, I finally gave up and took my medical care somewhere else. As for Dr. Armstrong, you get the standard "let's look at your scans" examination. He might be s good surgeon, but he is not good at diagnosing a patient who doesn't have an obvious mechanical issue. As for relying solely upon scans which the patient is lying down, when are doctors going to start listening to their patients and realize that maybe all of these scans they order with their patients lying down aren't showing the complete picture, especially when the pain occurs upright and with certain movements. Because his office never called my insurance to get approval for the scans Dr. Armstrong ordered ( four of them!) I took my problems elsewhere. Fortunately, the new neurosurgeon I went to didn't need to order more expensive, stressful scans because he was able to diagnose my problem with the MRI/X-rays I had done previously. Although I am not happy with my diagnoses, at least I have one, and can have a plan to get a handle on my pain issues. My time and money were wasted with Dr. Armstrong.
