So grateful to have stumbled on Dr Bastian! I have a rare-ish connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. This condition makes me more prone to orthopedic injuries, but having this condition also comes with a much higher risk of complications with any surgeries, which I have experienced in the past. I recently injured my shoulder and wanted to make sure it wasn't something that required treatment. I always get anxious when I see any type of surgeon as most aren't knowledgeable about EDS and can't properly take it into consideration when discussing next steps. I was so relieved to find that not only was Dr Bastian very knowledgeable about EDS, but prioritized it as a factor when recommending next steps. He did a thorough exam and outlined a detailed recovery plan, then even took the time to give lifestyle tips in general with my condition. He was such a pleasure to chat with and a rare case of a surgeon without a surgeon's ego. It was also easy to get in with him and everyone at the office was wonderful. Very highly recommend! read more

My husband and I went to see Dr. Bastian and could not have been more impressed with his clinical knowledge and demeanor as a healthcare provider. He listened, answered questions and attended to us both, though there had been a scheduling issue. Seriously, he is making his parents proud, that's all I can say. What an upstanding human being. Orthopedist. read more

Dr Bastian was the first and only doctor to really take the time to figure out why I was in so much pain. He is incredibly knowledgeable and caring and a true rarity in the medical community. His team are well organized and efficient and lovely people. read more

Damaged shoulder in fall. Was recommended to Dr. Bastian by another practice. Got appointment easily. Very prompt on arrival. Dr. Bastian had x-rays taken, and, check shoulder. Question of therapy, which he recommended. Very honest and not in a rush. Would recommend, would go if the need arises---good experience---- read more

I had a visit with Dr. Bastian for a second opinion on my knee pain. He was very thorough and explained everything to me. He even reviewed my imaging with me on the computer to explain what he saw and did an in office ultrasound to confirm the findings. He discussed all of my options and long term effects of my condition and was very personable in the process. He has excellent bedside manner and makes you feel comfortable and seems very down to earth. Blew my first opinion out of the water, very glad I went. read more

Great doctor/surgeon and amazing office staff! Highly recommended. Office is clean and organized and they take you in on time. The doctor is very knowledgeable and great at what he does. read more

Had my appointments canceled 3 times after rescheduling due to emergency surgeries that came up last minute. Honestly 1 or 2 times, frustrating yes but understandable. But 3 times? Within 3 weeks? This is unacceptable. I gave up because it's not even worth it. How do you treat patients like this? I have a job and cannot just get up and leave whenever they want to change your appointment. I had to request off and find coverage each time but nope never worked out. Sad, not meant to be. read more

My 97 year old mother had an appointment with Dr bastian today due to a broken shoulder. He was so amazing with my mother she felt very comfortable with him. I highly recommend this doctor and will definitely refer him to family and friends. The facility was clean and the staff was friendly welcoming and very professional. Easy to get in and out of the facility with parking in the rear and front of the building. read more

Had a wonderful experience at this office. Dr. Bastian is truly a caring, kind, funny, and knowledgeable surgeon who was able to find out the source of my pain within minutes and treat me accordingly! He answered all hundred of my questions very patiently. His staff is also very patient and helpful. Highly recommend this office and surgeon! read more

Awesome doctor. He is caring , funny and spends time with the patients. I went to him for second opinion after an arthroscopy done at another facility. He actually sat there, listened , explained my options and then got to work. I am terrified of needles but didn't even feel the shot he gave me. He discussed my treatment options one by one and said that joint replacement would be his last recommendation. I am doing therapy and finished my 3rd gel injection today. I would highly recommend him not only for his experience but for his compassion while dealing with patients. To him his patients are not $$$ signs and I respect that. His office staff are as wonderful as him :). read more

Dr. Bastian is the best! I would recommend him highly to anyone who needs to see an orthopedic Dr. He has been so caring, honest, very compassionate and an excellent Dr. I feel so fortunate to have found him.

The entire staff is wonderful too! You will get white glove service and rest assured in obtaining the best care possible! read more

Sevag Bastian, MD - Orthopedists Near Me - Glendale, California

Terrible service from the staff at this office. My insurance requested they take care of something before my MRI this Thursday and had sent the request in last week. The office did not do anything that was asked of them, and only moved forward when I called in myself a few days after to ensure it was taken care of. Of course it wasn't and because they didn't do anything, I wasn't able to get authorization In time. Also, with all my aches and pains, the ONLY recommendation the office and Dr Bastian provided was just doing cortisone shots and sending me on my way. Hardly a professional solution, just keep shooting yourself with it and you'll be fine for a few months. Terrible experience, will never go back again. Staff was awful to work with and had a lot of attitude on every phone call. read more

To whom it may concern, I met with Dr. Bastian concerning a carpal tunnel release surgery. I wanted sedation and he said he would only do local because it was a "quick 10-minute outpatient surgery". The surgery took place on July 18th. During it Dr. Bastian hit something in my hand that was excruciating. My blood pressure went up to 220 and the tourniquet wasn't working. I looked over at him and said "What did you just do? Did you cut something?". He said no and proceeded to close up the hand and release me. The four months post-surgery were filled with intense pain. I did hand rehab and was taking ibuprofen like they were candy and nothing would subdue the pain in my hand. I lost skin sensation in the thumb, index, and middle finger. After four months of asking him why it hurt so much, he said "Try pain management doctors." Instinctively I knew something was very wrong, so I sought out a second opinion with Dr. Hay at the Kerlan-Jobe Institute. Dr. Hay is a hand specialist and with him I did a special 3T MRI. Upon reviewing the MRI, Dr. Hay said he couldn't see the median nerve, it could be severed or not visible in the MRI. He also said that he would not do surgery on my hand because he's not a microvascular surgeon and my condition might be a result of nerve damage. So he was kind enough to tell me the truth and refer me to a microvascular surgeon at USC Keck Medicine. I met with Dr. Milan Stevanovic. I read all his reviews, background history, and referrals from other doctors and was confident that whatever was going on with my hand, he could fix. On November 14th I went in for surgery. Everything about the procedure went exceedingly well. Dr. Stevanovic said that he decompressed the median nerve that was severely compressed. He said the median nerve was not severed but very traumatized from extra scar tissue due to the first surgery. He didn't say this verbatim, but his opp report reflects the insight that Dr. Bastian, not only didn't do the surgery that I went in for, but made matters worse because of him going in and disturbing an already delicate condition. I am happy to say that after one week out of surgery with Dr. Stevanovic the pain was virtually gone, and I was using my hand already. I asked when the tactile sensation would return to the thumb, index, and middle finger. Dr. Stevanovic told me it's going to be 6-7 months as he couldn't reverse that damage that was already done. I was lied to for 4 months about why I wasn't healing by Dr. Bastian, and also that he asked me to tough it out and wait 6 months more while my hand wasn't recovering. If I hadn't had the strong intuition that the surgery was mishandled I would still be suffering today and getting worse. Dr. Bastian is without empathy, ethics, or compassion. I am dissappointed beyond belief. I believe its criminal, to watch someone suffer and know you didn't say that day or the next that the the surgery went wrong. then refer me to a real surgeon to correct it. shame on dr. bastian a man without ethics. read more

After years of discomfort and many many dislocations, Dr. Bastian performed a shoulder reconstructive surgery and I feel brand new! Highly recommend. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. read more

I had been having elbow pain for more than 10 years and my condition was getting progressively worse. Finally last year, I decided to go see Dr. Bastian for an evaluation. In summary, we agreed on cubical tunnel release on both sides. During the surgery he decided I also needed transposition of the nerves for a better long term outcome. It's been 7 months since my surgery and my pain is more than 75% gone, and continues to improve weekly. My strength is coming back and I'm able to do more activities without the pain I used to have. I was nervous at first not knowing what the outcome would be but I'm glad now that I picked Dr. Bastian to do the surgery. To his credit he tried to approach the problem with less invasive ways but I opted to skip them having tried in the past with limited success. The office staff is also great and they regularly follow up to ask about my condition. I highly recommend this facility for your orthopedic needs. read more

My father has always struggled with knee pain. He used to tell me tell me he could tell when it was gonna rain because of the way it would effect his knees. We took him to so many different doctors and we never had much luck. We finally found Sevag never before had we met such a brilliant doctor. They had the nicest facility and highest level of professionalism. I can say that he is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best doctors in the field. read more

Sevag Bastian, MD - My visit to see about my knees - Orthopedists Near Me - Glendale, California

Great service. Good communication. Told me exactly what was happening and the options I could undertake. There was no ambiguity like other doctors and he took his time versus rushing like other doctors I have been to. Everything was seem-less and the office staff was nice as well. Little hard to figure out where the office is the first time but once you get it you are good. read more

Dr Bastian is great and he put me in touch with many of his helpful colleagues like Dr Perrone and Dr Wang. Please what ever you do don't let him refer you to Dr. Vartarnian. In all fairness he referred me to him and I never got to see him but his partner Dr. Maxim Moradian is a piece of work. read more

Had a great experience visiting doctor Sevag Bastian's office. May have been one of the easiest doctors to talk to. He is very personable and takes the time to explain every detail. Didn't feel uncomfortable asking him any questions and I think he gave me some great advice with helping me choose the treatment option that was appropriate for me. In addition his whole staff was great. Zulema did a great job of scheduling my visit via email while I was out of the country. At the office, Anna was very helpful when taking the X-Rays and fitting my elbow brace. Overall amazing team, hopefully I never need to visit an Ortho again but if something does happen I know who to call. read more

Dr.Bastian has great bedside manner. He was incredibly thorough with his examination and kind in explaining our options. His staff was also extremely professional. read more

Dr. Bastian performed a small procedure on me today in his clinic and made me feel 100% comfortable and at ease! Would recommend him to anyone. His office staff is also extremely helpful.

With Dr. Bastian's guidance I'm finally back at practice. It's been years of trying to find a good doctor who can understand the needs of ordinary patients and those who with different lifestyles. I'm grateful. read more

Dr Bastian is very pleasant but front staff and an Assistant by the name the last name of Menendez is lacking people skill. He does not give eye contact . Front office staff customer service is lacking but I thought the ortho Dr substituted for their short comings. read more

I just took the online survey that Dr Bastian sends out to find out how I am progressing health wise. I have improved 64% since my surgery. Dr. Bastian and his staff have taken care of me very well and I appreciate all that he has done. read more

Last year he was a caring doctor but this year he owns the practice now he doesn't care about us also has no previous patients in file. Pretty much you become his new patient again and he pretends he doesn't know you. So you start all over him him. ( and he makes fun of us(. Patient ) read more

Not a fan of surgery but Dr Bastian and his team walked me through it effortlessly. He kept me informed on all aspects and followed up consistently. I am back to 85-90% of where I was before the tear in my rotator cuff. Very happy to have him and would trust him with my other shoulder when I'll inevitably need that one fixed too. read more

Went in for a shoulder problem. The dr took the time to look at my neck to rule out anything coming from there. Also, I mentioned my forearm was hurting too and he to took the time to look at that also. Never had a more thorough exam ever! They did an xray AND ultrasound and recommended phys. therapy. Office staff and xray tech were awesome which surprised the hell out of me usually those are the problem. I'll never go anywhere else for an injury. Great job guys!! read more

My hand was shot & fractured by LBPD during a peaceful protest. I thought I was going to lose the mobility in my index finger forever from being so behind on proper medical treatment (no one would treat my hand for 3 weeks.) Dr. Bastian is the ONLY doctor that gave me hope & made me feel cared for this entire time since I was injured. If you yourself, or you know someone who was harmed by the police during a protest & need help. Don't hesitate to contact this wonderful man, he's the real deal. read more

Sevag Bastian, MD - Orthopedists Near Me - Glendale, California

I had a super positive experience at this office today. The front and back end staff were so sweet and warm. Dr. Bastian was very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. I have been dealing with some chronic neck and shoulder issues, and I didn't really know how to handle them. After my first visit, I feel like I'm in good hands and taken care of, finally! I'm happy to have a game plan. If you're not sure who you should see for your generalized body pain/tension, just book an appointment. You won't be sorry. read more

Went in today to get my elbow checked out after being hit by a rubber bullet while protesting, Dr. Bastian had me in & out faster than any doctors appointment I've ever had!

Dr Bastian is a down to earth Orthopedic surgeon who operated on my moms knee in 2019 for long standing knee arthritis. She was treated so well, I usually don't post reviews, but I really wanted to shout out to Dr Bastian and his staff, they made everything so smooth for such a scary procedure. My mom is doing great now 8 months out. If I have any other issues, I will definitely go back myself and recommend any of my friends too. read more

I've been having some very painful knees for some time now (as in several years). I was referred to Dr. Sevag Bastian and waited two months before actually making an appointment. When I finally met him, I felt silly that I had waited so long as he immediately had some great suggestions to help ease my knee pain. I am still seeing him (as necessary) and every visit has been wonderfully reassuring. He is very kind and patient - such qualities you want in a doctor! I can hardly thank him or his staff enough for all the hard work they put out on a daily basis. My knee pain has been reduced and I am so grateful. Whatever process this doctor suggests I am willing to give it a try as he is trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable. read more

Dr Bastian and the team at the Glendale Surgical Center are both professional and kind. Expertise paired with their patient centered, supportive approach and compassion, is what makes Dr Bastian and his team truly stand out. I broke both of my wrists and required surgery on my left, a small screw was needed to repair the scaphoid. The surgery incision is tiny and Dr Bastian was able to do it without stitches, resulting in minimal scarring. Very impressive! Glendale Surgical Center used OutcomeMD to measure my symptoms before and during my treatment. My Upper Extremity Symptom Score was 27 before surgery and my score has improved to 68 so far! Will be back to 100 in no time!! Thank you Glendale Surgical Center and Sevag Bastian for helping me get such a great outcome and for saving my briefcase openers (both wrists)!!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Bastian by my private doctor for an arthritis condition. I didn't know what to expect with a different doctor's office. First of all if you park right, you're right next to the elevator closest to his office. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Dr.Bastian is a young doctor, but very knowledgeable about what ails you and why. His personality brings out his best as a person, and a great bedside manner as a doctor. I have had several problems relieved in just two visits. I really look forward to visiting him again. PS. Before your first visit you can fill out your paperwork online....saves a ton of looking up stuff in the office lobby. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Bastian and would not think twice to refer him to my friends and family. My experience with his office/team felt like I was hanging out with my extended family on a weekly basis. As an individual who has avoided major injuries throughout his life, I could not ask for a more personalized experience. I fully tore my achilles while snowboarding right before Christmas. It was important to me to find a doctor who had a background sport medicine. I was able to see Dr. Bastian immediately after getting the MRI, and was able secure an operation 2 days later at a surgery center about 10 minz away. The surgery facility and staff were overwhelming accommodating as well (it was my first time going under/under the knife). I am now doing PT at their OSS PT facility, and just for your reference, I am walking without a boot and it's been 3 months since my surgery. Dr. Bastian if you're reading this, I commend you for nonchalantly running such an established operation. Thank you again for your patience and support. read more

First of all I would just like to take the time to thank both Dr. Bastian and his assistant Anna for taking care of me and fixing me back up. Dr. Bastian is a great and compassionate person and doctor who knows exactly what he is talking about and doing. He took the time to look at my injuries after coming in with a broken hand. They quickly took X-rays of my hand and after seeing the damage he knew exactly what to do. With great compassion and care, and a little help from his awesome assistant Anna, they put my hand in a cast. I would without a doubt recommend everyone to see him for your injuries. He will take good care of you, I promise! read more
