Dr. Yegiaian, If only you had responded to the many messages we left for you regarding questions on medication you had prescribed for my husband as quickly as you responded to our family's review of your practice on YELP. Then I'm sure we wouldn't be writing this review in the first place. Why would you say we've never visited your office, we had been seeing you for almost 2 years, and thought our family had some type of patient-doctor relationship with you. I'm not sure why you would ask for my husband to announce his name-----is that not a HIPAA violation? No other families leaving a review for you have listed their family member's name, it's a matter of privacy. We traveled from our home on the Westside to see you because of a referral from another neurologist. Just please do better at calling back families that have placed their trust in you. Especially when we leave a message that their loved one under your medical guidance has been hospitalized and we've left you multiple messages over the span of a couple weeks. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Yegiaian for over 10 years, and she is truly exceptional. My case is complex and took years to fully understand, but she never dismissed my symptoms or tried to force them into a simple explanation. She listens, thinks, and treats you as a whole person. I've never felt rushed in her care, even when things were complicated. Because she stayed with my case, I now have an accurate diagnosis. That kind of persistence and attention is rare, and it has made a meaningful difference in my life. read more

I really like her and her staff. I don't like that I was being charged an extra $10 every time they sent my report to my regular doctor. I was never told there would be a charge to have my results sent to my regular doctor. read more

Absolutely terrible doctor! She called the police department on me after I turned her in to Blue Cross I was a patient of hers for three years!! she's all about Botox and lots of medication! read more

Very knowledgeable, takes the time to speak with you, and a strong communicator. Clean office, friendly staff.

Best Doctor Period. You will not regret seeing her she was the light at the end of a very long dark medical tunnel for me. 30+ doctors in a span of 5 years couldn't do what she did in 3 visits. read more

My car has been out of commission which is tough. I've had to rely on a neighbor to run errands. During my appointment today I was tired and doing the best I could to answer all her questions. Rather than showing empathy she said that lots of people deal with car issues and why was it so upsetting to me. Her solution was to prescribe antidepressants. I don't need antidepressants, I need a working car. If I had the energy I would seek care from another neurologist but I don't have the time or energy. Note to doctors. Put yourself in the shoes of you patient and offer sympathy not drugs. I felt she made a judgment call because of one bad day. Little things don't bother me but lack of transportation did this week. read more

I have been a patient for the last year of Dr. Yegiaian, of which I was very pleased with the services received by the doctor and her staff. A couple of weeks ago, I had an appointment with the doctor. Unfortunately I had an emergency in which I notified the office as soon as it opened that I needed to delay my appointment or change, whatever would be convenient for them. They advised me that since I did not notify them greater than 24 hrs prior, I would be responsible for a $50.00 Cancellation fee. As this was not a planned emergency I was under there 24 hours in advance policy being responsible to pay. OK fair. I asked when the next available appointment would be. The answer I received was she cannot make an appointment or discuss anything further until I pay the 50.00 penalty. I asked to speak with the doctor as I felt I was being treated by the doctors staff unfairly and felt the doctor should be made aware of how her staff treats its patients. Never received a return call from doctor I called the office again because I need to get medication refilled in the pharmacy. I was advised by my pharmacy that they never returned the request for medication refill. After not getting my refill prescription, and was told that unless I pay the 50.00, they would not approve the pharmacist request. I paid the 50.00, apparently that was more important than the patients health. Then they called pharmacy to release prescription. So now with my prescription getting filled, I asked about rescheduling my appointment. I was now given a option of 7bweeks from today. Don't believe the introduction on the answering machine either. If you need to speak to the doctor personally, press 3 for a personal message. I did that and again received a rude phone call from the doctors staff, instead of the doctor of why do I need to speak with the doctor. Unless it's a medical question, she will not answer my call. Apparently all that is important to them was money and not the patients health. My advice keep looking for a doctor that cares for its patients, more than 50.00. read more

Dr. Yegiaian is an exceptional healer. She always takes her time with me and my husband to get to the cause of the issues - not just treat the symptoms. Her staff is professional, efficient and friendly. She is our favorite doctor, and as elderly patients with multiple issues and doctors, that's saying a lot!! I don't know where'd we be without her. Thank you Dr. Yegiaian!! read more

If you don't mind being subjected to interminable waiting before finally seeing the doctor, then by all means make an appointment. Consideration for patients' time is non existent at this practice. read more

She is very careful, she took time with the patient and listened to all details for one hour.

Went for a consult for my daughter; it seems the doctor is all about money rather than actually helping patients. The office is completely white - not a good thing for those with illness that can be set off by bright lights. The staff stand over you till you fill out paperwork rather than sending to you ahead of time and you are required to pay for the visit up front . They do not take insurance but will bill the insurance if you ask them to. Dr may have left the big box teaching hospital but is running her business the same as the big box teaching hospitals - wants to do test, test and more tests, most likely in her office so she can get more money. My daughter was not feeling well and we had to wait, then the PA assigned had to keep leaving the visit room and kept asking us to wait as well she seemed tense and unsure. Parking is challenging - they don't tell you how to get into their parking underneath the bldg so we parked on the street using the one story open elevator to get into the front of the office - challenging with a wheelchair. We were never going back so left quickly and went home and spent the afternoon getting my daughter settled down. The next day I asked for a claim form for insurance and was told they had already submitted the claim. Okay fine. NOT FINE - they had the insurance pay them so they got paid double! When I called to get my refund I was told I had checked the box on the intake form allowing them to keep any monies from insurance for a year because it is "IN CASE THE INSURANCE CHANGES THE CHARGE AND THEY NEED TO HAVE PAYMENT TO COVER IT". Say what?! My insurance said they had never heard of that and the gal even took her time to call the office and was told the same thing. The insurance, because Dr is not a preferred provider, could do nothing. I ended up disputing the amount they were over payed with my credit card company and and it was refunded to me. Apparently it is not a good thing if they fight with the bank that takes their credit card payments. The other odd thing is that her bank is in Boston... Beware of her especially if you have illnesses that are rare and that you may test negative, i.e. you are seronegative. I firmly believe she is committed to the almighty dollar. If she has helped you, I'm really happy to hear that. IMHO, she is one of many bad drs who really should not be dr's. read more

Dr. Yegiaian took TIME with me as a new patient. She is a scientist as well as a doctor and did testing herself to crosscheck previous results. She and her staff are warm, friendly and yes, patient. Highly recommend her. read more

Unequivocally the best doctor who has ever managed my exceptionally complicated medical conditions. In a time when it is the norm to be quickly dismissed by physicians of all specialties, Dr. Yegiaian is an oasis in the broken healthcare system. I have never before had a physician take such a detailed medical history, or spend so much time getting to know me as a whole person. The end result of this comprehensive approach to patient care and treatment has resulted in many of my chronic medical issues being resolved by Dr. Yegiaian. True, there are times when it is necessary to wait well beyond a scheduled appointment time. However, you can be assured that when you are seen by the doctor you will receive her complete and undivided attention. After many, many, years of seeing 'hit and run' doctors who never take the time to find the root cause of a problem, it has literally been life changing for me to find a doctor who has been determined to solve my medical "mysteries." Especially if you are someone who has a complicated medical history, or have been misdiagnosed, run, don't walk to make an appointment to see Dr. Yegiaian. You will be forever grateful that you did. read more

As a physical therapist and an ex administrator for physical rehab company who serviced over 18 hospitals, and work directly with neurologists, I am very impressed. I hear from my patient and family how she is compassionate and caring and skilled. The interaction I have had thus far is nothing short of what they are saying. She gave me her personal number to contact regarding this patient for any questions. I hate to bother MDs after hrs. I called her because of the patient emergency. She called back within 10 min. I apologized for bothering her but she was so sincere when she said it wasnt a bother. Spent the time working through the problem with me via the phone as I was with the patient. Again..you dont find many doctors like this. read more

When I was seriously ill, I called the doctor's office to inform that I'm about to go ER so I can't go to my appointment. I was told there will be a $100 no show fee! So, I went to the clinic to show myself & show them how sick I was & I didn't want to pay $100 for no show fee. It's not the matter of the $100 but they need to understand the situation of their patients. When I walked into the clinic they said, oh they didn't know I was that sick & my answer was: am I lying to you???? I like to deal with people who care for the others & not materialistic people! Sorry! read more

Dr. Yegiaian, is beyond excellent. She is fully knowledgeable and up to date in her field as a Neurologist, a caring, and effective physician. I have seen many over the years, she is far the best. I can't recommend anyone higher as a patient and as a postdoctorate researcher. Also, she is out of my network and I have to pay out of pocket, not her fault, the way the new insurance, the "unaffordable health scare act" works. But, there is none better and even though I do not have the funds as a researcher for a 501 org, I go anyway and pay out of pocket, because she is worth it for my health care. I have seen many, even at Keck and UCLA, she is the one to go to.... read more

Dr. Yegiaian is an amazing doctor. I have been suffering with severe headaches and as the years went by, they got more painful and longer. I found Dr. Yegiaian after suffering from a 4 day migraine. My neurologist at the time was non responsive and I was fortunate to have been able to get someone's canceled appointment right away. Dr. Yegiaian listened to all my symptoms and medical history. Her medical decisions were well thought out, and she was able to relieve the pain. Something that I could not do in 5 years, nor could the previous neurologist do. Her staff was amazing as well. They were caring and attentive the whole time. I would highly recommend her, though, more people may mean fewer appointment times!!! Though this doctor and her office is worth it. Thank you. read more

There are so many wonderful things to say about Dr Yegaiain I don't know where to begin. She listens. She cares. She's an amazing doctor, and I know that not just because I have received great care, but when I have spoken to her colleagues and tech people in other offices (they always know what's up!) people rave about her. I had a crisis once and she called me at 10 pm from a charity dinner in Pasadena!!! I feel really lucky to have been referred to her. HER STAFF IS AMAZING TOO! One time I noticed I had an outstanding bill on my insurance company's website that clearly was a mistake. By the time I got to the office Sarah had taken it off my account BEFORE I MENTIONED IT TO HER. Everyone there is just on the ball. And the office is more like a beautiful, relaxing spa then a doctor's office. read more

I saw this doctor about a year ago for headaches. She totally misdiagnosed me and ordered unnecessary tests. I saw other doctors after I saw Dr. Yeghiaian and they were all dumbfounded by her diagnosis. She is also very cold and arrogant and not caring. I would advise Yelpers to stay away from her. read more

Dr. Sharon Yegiaian is such a caring and great doctor. She will always have time for your needs. Another great thing, the waiting is minimal. I would recommend this doctor to everyone. She has a new location so make sure you go for her new location on 139 Los Robles in Pasadena. read more

If you are looking for a very knowledgeable, caring, and helpful neurologist, do not hesitate for a second to see Dr. Yegiaian. I've been taking my mother to her office and I can honestly say, Dr. Yegiaian cares very much for her patients. She listens, asks questions, gives advice, recommendations, and tries to improve the health of her patients. I'm very thankful for everything she has done and continues to do for my mom. read more

Dr. Y has been my neurologist for years. I'm guilty of being a stubborn patient sometimes.lol Im in shock of the bad reviews! Even though I can be stubborn without question she is the most cutting edge Dr with so much knowledge and the BEST bedside manner . I have been to MANY different Neuro and have not found a more caring and knowledgeable Dr like her. Those saying she does not care are totally wrong .. like I said I am stubborn but without a doubt she truly DOES care and will go over and beyond to help. -Heather Detrick read more

Saw her for a second opinion on my ms but she was not in netowrk. they still billed my insurance and took the in netowrk money from the insurance and they took my money for the out of network fee too and they are only worried about money and they wont give me my money back and. there are other doctors who are good as her who are not so obsessed with money money and not such a mean staff people read more

I have been here 30 years in California. I see many Doctors. But Doctor Sharon is the best one. She takes her times and takes care of her patients. She is so sweet and caring. read more

Dr. Yegiaian is a top notch Neurologist with lots of experience. The office is State of the Art and had a warm welcoming and very modern feel to it. The front desk staff are friendly. There is a parking garage with ample space. I highly recommend this place. read more

I'm 70. Dr. Yegiaian is one of the best doctors I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of doctors. She was able to identify and resolve two health issues that were impacting my quality of life. I'll spare you the details. In addition, she treats the whole person! My doctor was on medical leave so she offered to treat me in case of illness. She is kind, brilliant, patient and caring. Her staff is amazing! Her office is beautiful. I'm offered coffee, tea or water as soon as I arrive after I log in on the computer. I highly recommend her and her staff without reservation. read more

Dr Yegiaian is the best doctor I have ever had! She is always eager to help me along my journey good health and recovery. She listens and really cares. The office is beautiful and they make sure to do whatever it takes to have a good visit, for me that includes turning off the lights, playing relaxing music and allowing me to rest. Her patient portal is the best I have been on. I would highly, highly recommend Dr Yegiaian. read more

I see Dr Yegiaian for my Seizures. She is such a great doctor. She is very caring and concerned. Definitely not like other doctors where it feels like they just see you for a couple minutes, ask a couple questions and then prescribe medication. Even when I didn't have an appointment and I had some problems going on she got back to me very QUICK and took the time to see me. I was so surprised. The waiting time is very minimal. I would highly recommend Dr. Yegiaian. Wish she was my primary doctor lol. the staff is also very friendly. I love everything about this office. Everyone there is so easy going and seem so concern about their patients. read more

Dr. Sharon Yegiaian is the very best the medical profession has to offer! She brings to her patients, current research and knowledge, intelligence, thoroughness and caring. She will leave no stone unturned and will never give up on determining the very best resolution to reach a diagnosis, prognosis and intervention. She has incredible interpersonal skills, which include heartfelt and compassionate listening and communication skills. Her knowledge of current research and studies is beyond impressive. Her communication is tailor made for each and every patient's level of comprehension. Thus, this doctor provides for a state of the art medical practice which are enhanced by precision referrals. The office is extremely well organized and clean. Office procedures and processes provide for unsurpassed efficient patients care. Patients check into their portals on arrival and are able to later, in the convenience of their own homes, read the doctor's follow up notes. The portal provides for two way communication. Patients may choose to communicate through the portal with the doctor and her staff. For patients who are not able to utilize the computer, there is always the phone. They do not take 2 hour lunch breaks in the middle of the day, as do most medical offices, therefore maximizing the time for patients to call with concerns and to make and reschedule appointments. This doctor has achieved excellence, in her practice and has the wisdom to surround herself by excellence. The office staff members are well trained, hence the efficiency of the office is top level. Each and every patient feels unique and special and that we are her only patient. read more

Dr. Yegiaian did a service by diagnosing me with POTS when no one else could figure it out, however she did a disservice by not using all the resources. She tried to treat me all herself but I was eventually referred to the Mayo Clinic by another neurologist and that's where I experienced the most transformative healing. She trained at Mayo and knows of the success of the Pain Rehab Program but strongly advised me against going saying I would just have a set back. My theory is that she knew how great it would be and I wouldn't go back to see her. If so, that theory was correct. I no longer need to see a neurologist because I have so drastically improved with Mayo's help. So, she's not all bad but don't settle on just one opinion when you feel stuck. read more

I saw Dr. Sharon Yegiaian for my back pain. My experience was very pleasant at her new location at 139 South Los Robles Ave in Pasadena. She was very caring and knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my concern . I am feeling a lot better. The staff was friendly and professional as well. Her patients love her and I can see why. I heard them say many nice things about her to her staff while I was there. I would recommend her very highly, if you or someone you know needs a neurologist. Thanks read more

Dr. Sharon Yegiaian is very caring, knowledgeable and take time with her patients. I am still a patient of Dr. Yegiaian and I am grateful that I have found such an amazing neurologist. He new office is amazing and the staff is just as great as she is. I can't say enough about her team. If you need a neurologist Dr. Sharon Yegiaian is THE doctor for you. read more

Dr. Yegiaian is one of the most compassionate physicians I have met, and I work with thousands of physicians. The level of professionalism, the care, and her knowledge of medicine is incredible. She followed my mother during the progression of her disease and helped us every step of the way; guiding, suggesting alternatives, and providing a caring relationship that is missing from so many practices. She is technologically in the 21st century and understands the need to keep communication lines open. She always returns messages and offers plans. We also experienced friendly and professional staff that treated us so well every step of the way. When we lost our mother, Dr. Yegiaian was there, and helped us during the most difficult of times. She is a brilliant doctor and anyone is fortunate to be under her care. read more

Money-minded practice. Too much of the visit done by the doctor's assistant. I sat i for a long time waiting for the doctor. The office feels like a conveyor belt: they get you in and out but they dont really listen. There's superficial politeness but i was left thinking they really didnt care, except about the money. The doctor was average and not particularly connected. read more

I can't say enough about how thrilled I am with Dr. Yegiaian! She is a life saver! I was referred to her after I had an episode of uncontrollable tremors. She took me on as a patient immediately and treated me with a level of commitment that made me feel like a long term patient. I have some complicated, chronic health issues (ehlers-danlos syndrome, hemiplegic migraine) and she was extremely knowledgeable about both! I've dealt with some doctors who had never even heard of these conditions before. As a young woman with difficult to diagnose health issues, I have often times been written off as malingering, drug seeking or just anxious. Dr. Yegiaian has never made me feel unwanted or like I was a burden. She has absolutely committed to my care, and even figured out some other issues that had been bugging me but were never figured out (she figured out I have POTS and is helping me manage it). She so clearly loves what she does, and has taken an interest in my bizarre issues rather than become annoyed, which is how many doctors have responded to me. I actually get excited to see her because I know I am going to feel better after I leave. She also has one of the most beautiful offices I've ever been to. While that's not the most important thing, it is quite nice to be in such a gorgeous, spa-like environment - especially when you are going through some not so pleasant treatments. Dr. Yegiaian has provided some of the best medical care I have ever received, and I'm just sad it took me 26 years to find her. read more

Was referred to Dr Yegiaian by Dr Turner's office for vertigo and made an appointment to see her. Before making an appointment I spoke with their office staff to see if they were in network for the select Blue Cross PPO provider and was told of course we are. So I made an appointment. I went to their office on appointment day and it is very sketch and complicated process to get to the office. You have to go into some structure press a button and they buzz you in. Then you park and someone meets you at your car. Which is a good thing because it is a total Get Smart situation to get to the actual office. Door after door. Finally get to the office and it is a newer office and very nice. They make you setup a portal access on a computer work station in the office. You give them your insurance card (I assumed they were verifying the benefits) and they came back that I owed a $40 co-pay for the visit and I paid that on the spot. The Dr saw me pretty quickly once I was in the room and she seemed nice. Very polite and really was interested in the "whole body" like a PCP not just the brain/head. At first I thought this was cool and then she prescribed a bunch of tests. I delayed getting the tests as I was out of town and when I got back into town I had a bill waiting for me for $424 for the visit saying my insurance did not cover any of it as she is OUT OF NETWORK. Apparently Dr. Yegiaian is not an in network doctor on the select blue cross PPO. These Drs see PPO and think no problem we are in network. There is a huge difference in the patient's financial responsibility from a Dr in network and to a Dr out of network on most insurance especially a PPO. Of course I called right away to discuss this with the Dr office and was told they would get back to me. Over the next few months I would get an email followed by an annoying automated robo call saying I owe money and to make a payment. I hate those robot messages. I would call her office and speak with Sarah who said she would talk to the Dr and then no return or follow up call. Next month - emails, robo call, and I would call them. Again told the same thing. After seeing I was not getting anywhere I paid a $200 payment on the FULL price amount for the services thinking she would settle for an amount she would have been paid if in fact she was in network as I was told when I was at the appointment. Boy was I wrong. Get this. They want the full $424 for their services even though they would not have gotten that much if she was in network. Does not make any sense. I told Sarah to unbill it from the insurance company and let me pay a cash price and she said that is the cash price. So beware if you find yourself looking for a neurologist and you go to Dr Yegiaian you better triple check that she is in network and do not leave it to her staff to verify. All they can say is sorry even though I have to pay more for her services than she would have gotten through insurance. Bad business practices. read more

I was so lucky that I was recommended to see Dr. Yegiayan. So professional and friendly. I felt so at ease when I was discussing my problem. She explained to me in detail what was wrong with me and the way to solve my problem. Thank you Doc. I will continue my treatment as long as it takes and I congratulate you for having such a polite and courteous staff. Vahe B. read more

My family met Dr. Yegiaian about two years ago. When she was still seeing her patients in the Huntington Hospital. She met my grandmother when she was very ill and weak. We had gone to a couple of doctors by then and none could figure out what was wrong with my grandmother. Dr. Yegiaian was very caring from the start. I remember her telling my grandmother "don't worry, we are going to get you strong again". and that she did. My grandmother went from barely able to stand up from the couch to taking her daily walks and getting up on her own now. The moment she opened her own office. We transferred over. Although, my family speaks only Spanish, Dr. yegiaian did her best to listen to my grandmothers needs. My family owes her a whole lot of thanks and this review was severely overdue. if you have any questions, her office staff are always so helpful. If you read this Dr. Yegiaian . Thank you for taking care of our grandmother Aurora with dedication and care. read more

Dr. Yegiaian is an excellent doctor, no doubt. She's very thorough, taking her time with her patients, at least she did with me. However, she takes very few insurance plans and so, patients with insurance she does not take must pay all costs up front. Her office does bill insurance, but then the office keeps the overpayment FOR A YEAR! Every person to whom I've explained this arrangement has been very surprised at this policy, including my other doctors. Consequently, because I'm in that category, I will not be returning to her office. I don't understand the reason for holding on to a patient's money and no one in the office could help me understand the reason for it. The office is beautiful and it does make a person wonder if patients like me, who are due the overpayment, are paying for some of that gorgeousness. In any case, if she takes your insurance, you'll be in excellent hands. If she doesn't take your insurance, be advised. read more
