Dr. Panossian the physician that would take my son case after he had a fall from playing on the jungle gym. He came in asked us common questions on how this happened my son told him he fall from the jungle gym and he says "oh kid that happen to me when I was younger but I will see you in a couple of hours to do the reduction." My son states.. "wait why later" ... Dr. Panossian response "do you have a hot date to go to our what?? " my son just starts to laugh. 4 hours later in the ER A closed fracture of the ulna and radius was placed back and the hand was casted. (In less than 30mins) I understand someone people say he is short and straight to the point. I'm sorry but you have to hear it like it is. I'm very happy with his work like he told my son ok "let's get this party started". He gave me clear instructions on what needed to be done after his reduction. My son's 72hr x-ray shows the bones are still in place which is great news. Yes he is quick and in and out of the surgery but his work is excellent what else do you want. He is 5 stars for me I would recommend to my family and friends. Thank you from the undercover RN that didn't disclose she was a nurse. read more

The worst doctors office experience I've ever had in my entire life. Kelly the receptionist has the nastiest attitude, charged me when I checked in via cc & tried to overcharge me again (BEFORE MY CONSULT) at this point I asked for a refund and Kelly stormed off, came back handed me a document and walked away without speaking. Turns out the document she handed me was my refund and only Told me after I had to ask what she handed me and walked away. The cherry on top was I had requested to see a doctor and when I arrived my appointment was with a P.A. Please stay away from this office if you have a choice for the sake of your mental and physical health and being overcharged without even seeing a staff member aside from receptionist. read more

If you care about the service you get while in the office of your Dr. please think twice before coming here. The receptionist seems to hate her job, possibly her life. Always has an attitude. You leave message after message for the Dr and can't and don't get a call back. The office manager calls when you in fact want to discuss an issue about staff including the office manager with the Dr, they intercept so you can't voice your concerns. Had we known what we know now, we would have saved ourselves the headache. It seems these people in this office have forgotten there's choices out there of where to go and the fact that customer/client service is what keeps you coming back. We won't be. I suggest you do your research and save yourself the hassle and stress these people needlessly cause their clients. read more

Dr. Panossian made me feel extremely uncomfortable. He did not use my name but repeatedly called me pet names like sugar and love, made inappropriate comments, and moved my injured joint into unstable positions with no warning. I would never feel comfortable allowing him to operate on me and I will not be going back. read more

Dr. Panossian did an amazing job on my bicep tear surgery in September. The consult, evaluation and surgery went far better than I would have ever expected. By the end of January I had completely healed with a very minor, hardly noticeable, scar. February I was back in the gym and had rebuilt my strength, to my previous level. I'm back to curling 50 pounders and have Dr. Panossian to thank for my full recovery. I couldn't have asked for a better, more caring and skillful surgeon. Thank you Dr. Panossian! We remember 1915! read more

Terrible experience. My appointment was at 9 and I wasn't seen until 11, even after hearing the nurse say that it was one of the slowest days of the week. I immediately went out to ask the nurse when Dr. Panossain was coming and she said he was with a patient and will see me next. Dr. Panossain came in, asked me three questions about my shoulder, asked to raise my arm and then made his diagnoses but rushed out of the room only allowing me one question. Have never been treated this badly by any doctor, obviously this is not one that cares about his patient's well being. Will not recommend or go back! I see the amount of stars here but please check out for real reviews on this guy. https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-vahe-panossian-yh6q5 https://www.vitals.com/doctors/Dr_Vahe_Panossian.html read more

Dr. Panossian, the nurses and office staff where all super nice, supportive and very professional. I had surgery on both shoulders and they helped me with every step along the way. read more

Dr. Panossian is a doctor who doesn't seem to have time for you and is always rushed. My appointment took all of about 4 minutes. He failed to hear my complaints and to treat me as an individual. Instead he said, "everybody has back pain." He huffed and puffed, rolled his eyes. He made me feel like I didn't matter. He suggested I just take more pain meds. Instead of giving me the care and time I needed or designing an adequate treatment plan, getting me back to work seemed to be his only objective. He couldn't tell me what I do for a living. When I asked he said, "it doesn't matter." I will never recommend him as a doctor. No patience for patients. Extremely poor bedside manner. He simply does not care. Grade F-. You have royally failed Dr. Panossian. read more

I visited Dr Panossian at Huntington Orthopedics a few times during summer of 2013 for a broken foot. Huntington is a big office with several doctors, so it can get busy and a bit hectic in there. My experience was always positive. Office staff was professional and easy to deal with. The assistants and xray techs were friendly and helpful. As with most Doctor's visits these days, you shouldn't really expect them to spend a ton of time with you shooting the breeze. Dr Panossian works quickly and dictates into his voice recorder faster than anyone I've ever heard before. If the Doctor thing doesn't pan out for him he should rest assured that he can easily transition into a thriving career reading the legal jargon after commercials. Dr Panossian was great though. He quickly diagnosed my injury, determined a treatment plan and answered any questions that I had. I saw him a few more times for follow ups and he was always cool. If you are unfortunate enough to need the help of an orthopedic surgeon, I'd highly recommend him. read more

Dr P. worked on my rotator cuff in 2007 and fixed a tear in my meniscus o 8/12/13. I "shopped around" in 2007 and chose him. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He's a great guy, listens well and if he thinks he's God, he doesn't show it at all as that is one thing I cannot and will not tolerate. His staff, notably Dawn Reed, is a machine.. 2 thumbs way up.. read more

I was at Dr Vahe Panossian Office today September 7, 2021 he is very professional I was worried about my hip surgery he explained me very well after looking at my MRI and show me where is the problem and he give me a very good advise I recommend everyone. He's nurses very professional and the office is immaculate clean. read more

Dr. Panossian is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I scheduled an appointment for knee pain that I thought was a torn meniscus, but was actually early onset arthritis. Physicians assistant, Dawn, is fantastic and is working with our insurance company to approve new procedures to treat my issue. I did have to wait a bit, as it's a busy office, but am impressed with my treatment and care with this physician and staff. read more

So we found another doctor who put my sons arm in a sling and told us to get some calcium gummy bears. That was all he needed! His arm is now healed wonderfully (skateboarding fall). No need for surgery at all. What a fraud. read more

Dr P please leave the medical profession. Go paint, sing, make jewelry...anything else. You are a terrible doctor. The other 1 star reviews about Dr P being dismissive, in/out in single digit minutes, etc are all correct. I had the same experience, the ladies at the front desk of Huntington were great/professional. Dr P's male nurse called me, put me in a room, typed something in the computer, and walked out! Didn't so much as take my blood pressure or say anything to me at all, nothing about me changing so I can be examined etc. Turns out it wasn't necessary. Dr P came in, asked me what I was there for, he clearly hadn't read the notes on me, didn't so much as touch the joint I had pain in, then proceeded to tell me it wasn't bad. Wow guess he has telepathic powers. Told me I didn't need surgery, then offered pain meds I had already taken that didn't work. On my medical report he wrote that he performed tests on me and I scored 5 out of 5 on all of them! Yes. That's Fraud. read more

This amazing doctor saved my husband's arm. He is the most knowledgeable, sympathetic, intelligent and empathetic doctor. I can not recommend a better doctor! read more

If I could leave no stars I would! This doctor was rude, his staff was rude, he did surgery on my knee, hit a nerve, now I have nerve damage. When I would go in and tell him how much pain I was in his response was get over it there's nothing wrong with you. I went to two other doctors for second and third opinions both said a nerve was hit and I should have received better care. read more

Great doctor ,hes right to the point on whats happening.He repaired my labral tear in my hip.

I showed up for a 10:15 am appointment only to be told at 11:18 am that the doctor didn't know he had one more patient and had left for an appointment he had at 11:00 am. One of his nurses tried to put the blame all on herself saying she didn't know he had one patient left. I don't buy this. I don't care about his appointment at 11:00 am. He had an appointment at 10:15 am which he decided to ignore. My wife overheard another doctor tell Dr. Panossian right before he left "Good luck at the DMV." This is the 4th or 5th time this doctor hasn't done his job correctly or shown he doesn't care about his patients. This doctor is too busy with his personal matters for his patients. My primary doctor will stay late to see all his patients. Dr. Panossian can't even keep the appointments he has which are in the morning. I wasted my time and money having to pay for parking just to be sent away and asked to come back 2 hours later. read more

I've visited Dr. Panossian's office after I had been refereed for Hip Replacement Surgery. Wonderful doctor! Straight to the point, without playing games just to get your business. Very attentive to details of your medical records and doesn't ask for unnecessary tests or procedures if you have already done your required blood work, X-Ray-s or MRI-s. However, he'll make sure you have an appropriate clearance for surgery or other procedures, before moving forward. He is very confident, intelligent, and trustworthy, explains everything when you ask without hiding possible complications. His stuff will call and follow up for required documents, will answer your questions and explain procedures. Dr. Panossian and his stuff think and act fast in professional way, making sure that patient will be informed and prepared for the next steps towards the surgery. It might be confusing for some slow thinkers, or too sensitive people, but I prefer professionalism over politeness and I trust them completely. read more

I have always found Dr. Panossian to be very kind, smart and patient. I saw him today for a cortisone shot and as usual, he asked me how I am and told me to give his regards to my husband. You won't find too many doctors like him on this planet. He sincerely cares about his patients and did a super job on repairing my shoulder years ago when I fell out of my wheelchair and injured it. He even gave me the physical therapy exercises to do to keep the shoulder flexible so it doesn't atrophy from lack of use. He's a really good guy, and a really good doctor. read more

Assembly line medicine. Patients move from one holding location to another until you reach a room where the doctor comes in. He tells you what he is going to do. No explanation as to why he recommends that treatment plan. The total time spent with him was 15 minutes. Does not welcome questions. Answers are brief and lead to more questions on the patient part. His PA was to submit a referral for a knee brace, however, he waited 2 days to submit it because he was "in clinic" It took several phone calls for him to return mine. It was then that he told me he submitted the referral right before he called me. He marked the referral as "routine" which, for my insurance, has a 14 day time to review to approve/not approve. In the meantime I have a fractured knee that is being given no support. He told me that he could not change the type of referral and would not ask the doctor to make a phone call to the insurance. So i am walking around with a fractured knee for another 14 days. This is an office that is incompetent, inefficient, and lacks compassion. I am getting a referral for another doctor. Receives 1 star read more

Dr. Panossian performed two surgeries on my badly fractured ankle (compound, open fracture). Both surgeries were successful and after two months there were no complications and the healing advanced to the point that I can, partially, put weight on the ankle. Dr. Panossian is very professional and treats the patient along the injury which is quite rare for a surgeon. read more

I had hip replacement surgery with Dr. Vahe Panossian a little over 3 months ago (01/25/20018) and I feel great! I can finally walk and move without pain! I did a lot of research before I got the surgery, I wanted to make sure that I selected the right doctor and the right hospital, I am glad I did. I only have good things to say about Dr. Panossian, his assistants Leah, David and the rest of the Huntington Orthopedics team, they were very professional, attentive and caring during the entire process. I strongly advise anyone considering hip replacement surgery to consider Dr. Panossian and the Huntington Orthopedics team. It is better to be safe than sorry. read more

I don't normally write reviews but thought this situation warranted one. It has been five months since my shoulder surgery and with Dr. Panossian's guidance and a lot of physical therapy I am back to boot camps and outdoor adventures! I am a very busy professional with a type A personality. I work out every morning before work and compete in various sports competitions. I was an athlete throughout high school and college. When I dislocated my shoulder and was recommended surgery I was disheartened. I was given options but chose surgery because not only was my shoulder unstable, I had torn the rotator cuff and cracked the humerus. Among all of the highly recommended orthopedists and facilities for shoulders (and those specializing in sports medicine), I chose Dr. Panossian. He is professional, highly skilled and an expert in his field. Although he is busy, his team tries their very best to fit you in, especially in an emergency. If he's running late, it's because he is either at the surgical center or at the hospital tending to other patients. Dr. Panossian cares about the well being of his patients. He will answer any questions that you may have and tell it to you straight. I was a little skeptical that I could be put back together, have the same range of motion and be as active as I was pre-surgery. A skeptic no more! I was also really nervous the day of surgery. Dr. Panossian put me at ease with his dry sense of humor while wheeling me into the operating room. I've received plenty of compliments from friends and family about how well I'm doing post-surgery and how they can't tell that I even had surgery (you can barely see the scars). If you are looking to be coddled, go visit your physician. But for athletes and non-athletes, alike, who are looking for a skilled surgeon who can repair them and get them back to where they were prior to injury, and with minimal scaring, I highly recommend Dr. Panossian! I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me. read more

i completely tore my acl and damaged my meniscus. he has taken great care of me. he is very personable. he was so on top of it that he was able to get me in to surgery the day after i saw him due to a cancellation. this was really helpful since my wife was pregnant. he has gotten poor reviews for his office wait time, but he must have listened, because now i rarely wait. his staff is both professional and friendly. i could give him 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the amount of time he usually spends with his patients. but what should i expect, he's an orthopedic surgeon. read more

Dr. Panossian has been my orthopedist for approximately 10 years now, and has done 3 knee surgeries for me, two of those being ACL reconstructions. He has always been upfront and knowledgeable about my knee injuries, giving me the best advice as to how to treat the issues. He has always listened to my input and he has always been professional. The office is busy and their staff handles it well. I've been well taken care of at their office. read more

While he seems to know his profession, I found him to be somewhat arrogant. Maybe it's because he is known to be the best in the area, I don't know. But I found Dr. Panossian to have a lousy bedside manner. since there are only 3 posts here that are not satisfied it's difficult to decide whether of not to let him do my surgery. I wish there were more reviews. read more

My son had an appointment with Dr. Panossian at 2:45 pm. We did not see the doctor until about 4pm. After waiting a half hour, I asked the staff if the doctor was behind schedule. She replied that he was on time, but they were waiting for my insurance to get approved for the appointment. After waiting again, I asked when we would go in to see the doctor. She said we were up next, but we ended up waiting another 10 minutes before we were taken to a room. Dr. Panossian was not very pleasant or professional. He did not apologize for keeping us waiting so long. During the short time that he saw my son, he kept answering phone calls on his cell phone. He didn't know what was wrong with my son (we brought xrays) and wanted us to get a catscan. We will definitely not return to his office. read more

He is always in a hurry. First surgery, tear in labrum left shoulder. After a couple of months, still in a lot of pain. Staff would not return phone calls, for several days. He gives up on what the problem is. I had to go to other doctors. Finally find out that my bicep tendon is being stretched. Healthcare partners was making it very very hard to have another surgeon relocate bicep tendon. I let him do it. I really wish I didn't. After 2nd surgery my shoulder is really bad. Now having pin and needles in my hand and crazy nerve pain through arm. He tells me this is as good as it's going to get. After seeing several doctors, I find out he didn't relocate bicep tendon he cut and let it hang there. 3rd surgery relocate bicep tendon, the tendon was in the joint. Even at the third surgery the joint needed cleaning. The dude was in there twice. It's been over a year and a half now and they are talking I may have thoracic outlet syndrome. OMG the crazy nerve pain I'm in and I lose blood flow to hand. DO NOT LET HIM WORK ON YOU, EVER. read more
