Lilit Baltaian
There are so many doctors in the Sunland-Tujunga area, for that matter in the foothills area.
I have been to a few, well several, primary care and some specialist; and I am very thankful for their services. For most of them, the practice is something they enjoy, and they have managed to keep relatively healthy.
A couple of years back my health insurance was changed with my work so I had to look for a new primary care doctor and I came across Dr. Lilit Baltaian. I am a male and I was not too sure about having a female doctor...I had tried it in the past and it did not work out as well.
My first visit was scheduled; I came into the clinic, very conveniently located, and the front desk personnel were rather accommodating. They were pretty busy -with allergy season an all- but they still managed to make me feel welcomed.
Within a reasonable amount of time I was in getting my weight checked, temperature and blood pressure.
Again they seemed pretty busy, but patients were moving in and out. The time came to meet the new doctor, and remember how I mentioned at the beginning "For most of them, the practice is something they enjoy"? Well, I was right about that, but here sat in front of me a lady who genuinely enjoys the moment and what she does. I went in feeling fed up with my day and my allergies, and this Lady Doctor, who had been working pretty much the whole day, dealing with sick people, snapped me out of my negative mood in a second. Her positive attitude made me feel well right away. There is a lot to be said about positive attitude and perceived and or actual illnesses. She then took the time to explain about allergies, short and long term causes and treatments; she ordered allergy tests to make sure I was treated properly...I got to say, I felt that my previous doctors were slacking a bit...this Lady took the time to make sure I would not have to lose sleep over allergies again. For some reason, I felt as though my problem was now her problem as well. I got my results, and the follow up was right on the money...For the first time in my life as a patient I felt like I had a personal doctor.
I have had Dr. Baltaian my doctor, for almost two years now, and the manner in which she handles my health issues is always very proactive, very accurate, and the most important part is that I am not just a patient or a number to her and or her personnel. When I come to see them, they actually know my name, and I see many of her other patients are also spoken to in a first name basis.
The Sunland- Tujunga area is country leaving, the last spot in Los Angeles I would say, and Doctor Baltaian is part of that community, her services and the way she goes about taking care of her patients, is rarely seeing now days.
I would recommend her to anyone in need of a personal doctor -and I say personal doctor because I am not just a number to her. She will tell it like it is, further, if you follow her instructions, she will help you live better, and she may just give you a free smile and a high dose of positive attitude. read more
