Dr. Garabekyan and his staff are the best!! If I could give 10 stars, I would! I write this in my…read morethird month of recovery from the PAO and arthroscopy surgery: I am relatively young, in my early twenties, and never had surgery in my life, so the idea of getting TWO surgeries (Arthroscopy and PAO) was very scary. I also had another issue where I could not accept blood transfusions of any kind. That also added to my level of fear and distress. The idea of a minimally invasive PAO is not something I had heard of before and was very anxious. However, Dr. Garabekyan was SO patient in answering every question I had. His assistant Susie was also amazing and gave us anything we needed. When in the hospital, he frequently visited and called to make sure that I was okay. As expected, my hemoglobin did drop, but thanks to the salvage saving method used, I never had any critical blood loss/feel the side effects of anemia. I felt very, very minimal pain. The medication prescribed was perfect. The "hard" part was the period of 1-2 weeks after leaving the hospital, as sleeping was very difficult due to being a side sleeper. Dr. Garabekyan's advice (using many small pillows to relieve pressure) will helped getting through the night a lot easier. Another thing that amazed me is that he would answer our questions even on his vacation time. His recovery process was VERY well detailed, and we never needed to guess on what methods of recovery he wanted us to do. I have been to many hip doctors at Cedar Sinai and other hospitals, and I've never had a doctor as caring and patient as Dr. Garabekyan. Choosing him to do the surgery was the best decision I could make and I'm so thankful to his excellent communication skills, and of course his incredibly awesome assistant, Susie! :)

I started initially with Dr. Vighill Orthopedic Sports Medicine Clinic who help me manage without surgery my bilateral knee osteoarthritis with a conservative approach and when he was leaving he referred me to Dr. Nattive who has continued providing excellent care. After she observed an XRay that Dr Brown Orthopedic Sports Clinic had done in 2015 they both noted that in the future my right hips and knees are candidates for replacement. I was referred to several Orthopedic doctors there all very well qualified and board certified. However after meeting with Dr. Zeegen and his suggestion of an anterior approach and the team care post operative I decided to go with him. I am home recovering as treatment plan specifies and the follow up has been excellent. I have Medicare Part A & B which allowed me to have a nurse visits and physical therapy in my home initially through UCLA. I cannot say enough about the promptness, professionalism to my questions to Dr Zeegen and or his staff. I highly recommend UCLA in general but most highly for their Orthopedic Sports Clinic care and if required surgeries.

Created extreme leg length discrepancy & limp during hip replacement…read more I had a hip replacement by Dr Erik Zeegen 1 year ago. The hip replacement itself seems to have been successful, but I was left with an extreme limp because he intentionally lengthened my leg while he was at it. He later told me that he lengthened it because his measurements had shown that my leg was 5mm shorter than the other leg (which it was NOT). I've never had an LLD or walked with a limp. He didn't disclose to me that he was planning to change my leg length or I would have protested the plan. I now have to wear a 1.5' lift (38 mm) in my opposite shoe to avoid limping terribly. Post-op X-rays clearly show how uneven the tops of the leg bones are. And in his after-visit notes, he states that I have no limp! He says going in to correct the problem - moving the leg back where it was - would be too risky due to the chance of infection, so he suggested that someday if I have my other hip replaced, that leg can be lengthened to match this (unnecessarily) lengthened one. Terrible!!

Considering how much pain I was in that was the last thing I wanted to hear. However, the condescending man didn't believe I was in pain. When he prodded my kneecap and asked if it hurt and I said yes, he responded with "oh, you're really selling it aren't you." He patronizingly didn't go over options, except to offer a cortisone shot. It was a humiliating experience, being dismissed with the feeling "come back when you're really in pain and there's an actual issue.' All topped off by a snide parting comment from the nurse insinuating if I was really in pain I wouldn't be wearing those shoes. Thank goodness for second opinions. I went to a doctor several friends recommended. He actually went over my MRI results with me, explaining each result including Grade IV chondromalacia. He went over possible treatments and the pros and cons of each and to take my time deciding which path I wanted to go down. Basically, he talked to me like an adult and not like a recalcitrant child wanting surgery for the fun of it. Please don't go to Polakof, find a doctor who will treat you with respect.

Although I live in Long Beach and had limited time to visit in person, Dr. Melikian was kind enough to initiate contact via email and responded promptly. He arranged a quick phone consultation at no charge. He came across as very amiable, genuinely concerned, and highly knowledgeable about the subject. During our conversation, he brought up additional tests and treatment options I wasn't previously aware of. The call was definitely productive and appreciated. My only gripe, generally speaking--not specific to his practice--is that stem cell treatments are exorbitantly priced and not covered by insurance. Expect to pay anywhere from $6,000 to $9,000 or more for various stem cell treatment options. So, not a go just yet until I figure out how to come up with the money, I will have to live with my back pain.
