Dr. T is the absolute best!! She always listens to my concerns and her new office staff is extremely professional. Dr. Tekkelian is the most compassionate and knowledgeable physician I've ever met. She is dedicated to her job and her patients. She is not afraid to fight with insurance companies for denied authorizations, she advocates for her patients, and truly provides the utmost care. My entire family goes to her and now, my friends as well. I know I'm in good hands when I see Dr. Tekkelian and refuse to go anywhere else. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Tsovinar Tekkelian since 2008. She has always been very kind, respectful, professional, and knowledgeable. Her staff, especially Narine and Silva, are always generously nice & helpful to us. read more

Do NOT waste your time, health, and money with this place. My mom has been very ill and in immense pain for months, and not only has Dr. Tekkelian given my mom the runaround several times, but she has also sent her to get very expensive tests to show to a referred specialist who was unbelievably incompetent (that quack is getting a review of her own). Her office is always full of patients, but it seems like a free for all, rather than sticking to a schedule. First off, let's start with scheduling appointments. My mom was NEVER seen on time. Don't get me wrong, that can happen at any doctor's office every so often. But she was consistently seen an hour+ later than her scheduled time, not only that, but if she was scheduled to be the first person of the day, every other patient that showed up within the hour would be seen first. Also, despite my mom's urgent symptoms, she always schedules them a 20+ days apart from each other, never with any answers or help. Second, the doctor is RARELY there. Often times, her nurse practitioner is taking all her patients which leaves a lot of the information on the check up muddled or just not accurate. There was even one time where she cancelled my mom's appointment, but refused to reschedule over the phone, so we had to go all the way to the office to fix that issue. Third, MY BIGGEST ISSUE. Tekkelian sent my mom to get a $300 scan to show to a specialist that she referred. This "specialist" was the most incompetent quack who I'm almost positive found a way to get an online medical degree or something because she completely brushed off my mom's symptoms despite the scan showing several masses and cysts in my mom's body (again, she's getting a review of her own). My mom went to another specialist NOT referred to her by Dr. Tekkelian and sure enough, he was immediately concerned and knew that was the source of the pain. After my mom followed up with Tekkelian, she just scheduled another month away appointment and did nothing when my mom started noticing new and very frightening symptoms. As far as the front desk, Andrine hasn't really given us issues. She can be a bit moody, but honestly, I don't blame her. They overwork that poor girl like crazy and she still has to be there to pick up the mess the doctor leaves when she doesn't even show up. BUT I take MAJOR issue with is the mismanagement of the appointments. It seems like they like to let friends and family cut the line. This practice is solely after your insurance money. If you care about yourself or your loved ones STEER CLEAR. You have no idea how many times I've feared and cried for my mom's life over Tekkelian's negligence. I don't want anyone to go through the same thing. read more

She has been my primary doctor for years now. I loveeeeeee loveeeee everyone that works there. Adrineh, Narine, Doctor, etc. Everyone is super friendly and actually works. They make sure all you're medical needs are taken care. I am a walking disaster and always injured. They have gotten me specialist, MRIs and authorizations quicker than I can blink. I love each and every one of them. read more

My aunt and her husband have been a patient of Dr. Tsovinar Tekkelian for over 30 years, simply because she provides the best care. My aunt has had many health issues throughout her life and always walks out of Dr. Tekkelian's office feeling better, not just internally but mentally as well. She is so kind, caring and knowledgeable. Our family doesn't have enough words to describe how wonderful her practice is. read more

Those who found Dr. Tsovinar on a website where her reviews were high, let this be a heads up (because that's how I got myself in this mess). First off, the address is wrong. It's 1251 south Glendale Ave. wish someone would've let me know before I went for my first appointment (thank you receptionist). If you're claustrophobic like me, you will hate this place. When I walked in there, there weren't even any seats left to sit on. The clientele seems to be composed only of old Armenians. So that was fun to be stared at for 20 minutes. No A/C. Also fun to be standing in a cesspool of warm germs. Nurse wearing flip flops. Why. Literally just left without seeing the doctor, I was so grossed out. read more

called Dr. T. Tekkelian 818-500-9393 many times, they put you on hold for LONG time no one ever response, the hang up the phone after long time holding. If they respond the call, they say they will send the documents or help you and they never do. Called from a healthcare facility for patient going for surgery . Horrible service .they don't even care for patient who is going for surgery read more

My mom is a patient of Tsovinar Tekkelian For 15 years. She was very happy with the doctor and the employees that worked with the Doctor until they changed the front desk receptionist. Adrine is a horrible person with a horrible attitude, irresponsible, and liar, she's putting Tsovinar Tekkelian's reputation down. Whenever you call either she doesn't pick up or she puts you on hold forever...It takes weeks for her to take care of any prescriptions for the pharmacy or faxing patient related information to other doctor offices. Even other doctor offices and pharmacies complain about this office because of her. Doctor herself is very nice and sweet and because of Adrine we are going to take our mother to another doctor. If Dr.Tekkelian doesn't want to lose her patients,Adrine needs to go!!! read more

My experience going to Dr Tekkelians office has been excellent. Starting with the front office to the back office, everyone is on task, professional, and caring. They always go the extra mile to provide the best service. The Dr is amazing. I will continue to refer all my friends and family. I don't understand the negative reviews. read more

Worst survive I've received ever, the doctors were rude and no one explained anything or answered questions normally. They seemed to be helping you to get you to leave as soon as possible. They also told me I would get my results back in 2 weeks, after waiting a month and still no results I decided to give them a call. They put me on hold for 15mins and hung up on me and once I called back they put me on hold for another 30mins only to get my name and say they would give me a call in 20minutes with the information I needed. I waited 2 hours and called back and they said that everyone was on lunch and I would have to call back later. And no one seemed to want to help at all and if I could give this place negative starts I would.DONT GO HERE ITS TRASH. read more

Lots of doctors these days treat you like a dollar sign. The more they see, the more they make. Dr.Tekkelian is one of the special ones, who didn't forget about the most important part of being a doctor.. the humanistic part. She is very caring, and your appointments aren't rushed. She takes her time, and is very thorough. She takes pride and puts her whole heart in every patient she sees. After every visit with her, I leave with the big smile on my face. Thank you Dr.Tekkelian for all that you do. read more

This doctors office is a joke. Made an appointment two weeks in advance at 9 am. When I went to my appointment the office was closed with ten people waiting in front of the door for it to open. I guess we all had a 9 am appointment. The receptionist Adrine decides to show up 10 minutes late to work. We all walk in to sign in to see a doctor. After patiently waiting an hour to get called in I approached her and asked when will I be seen and she replied back with a rude tone "you don't have an appointment"... I guess I would of been sitting there all day if I hadn't approached her. When I confronted her that I've been waiting here for an hour and she didn't say anything to me all that time she gave me an attitude and started to argue with me. The interesting part was that the doctor was on vacation. So the real question was who were all these patients here to see? Long story short we argued back and forth and cussed each other out. Talk about excellent customer service skills the employees have. Left the office hour and half later without being seen and being cussed out by the receptionist and two other staff. Interesting office I might say. This office is ran by a bunch of clowns who need to be trained on customer service. Will never trust these people to handle my medical care in a million years. read more

Dr. Tekkelian is a wonderful doctor! She has been my family doctor for years and I wouldn't see it any other way. She goes above and beyond what is expected from her. She is kind, caring, and attentive. I recommend her to each and every person I know. The staff is also kind and welcoming. read more

If you want a great doctor this is the place to go. Dr. Tekkelian truly cares and puts her time into seeing her patients. She goes above and beyond to provide the care that you need. Her staff is very helpful and professional. Would recommend this doctor definitely. read more

Dr. Tekkelian is the best, however, her front desk staff lack compassion, patience and service. They've hung up on my mom after placing her on hold for over 10 minutes, they've lied about sending much needed prescription to the pharmacy, and they're rude! By "they," I specifically mean Adrineh. Dr. Tekkelian needs to clean house ASAP! I have already moved my primary elsewhere, because of these reasons, my parents are next! read more

This review is not for the doctors check up (since I couldn't make a first appointment) but for the customer service I received when I tried to make one. I called because I was referred by my insurance company (he is on my provider list). The person who answered the phone was extremely rude. At first I couldn't understand her so I asked her to repeat herself, and she started raising her voice at me. Then I kindly asked her if I had the right number and mentioned the doctors name since she answered the phone "office..." . So I asked again, do I have the doctors office, and is this Dr. Tekkelian Tsovinar's office? And she said "its the MD!"...back and forth....at this point I asked her name kindly and she wouldn't give it to me. dialogue: me: "may I ask you name?", she: "what;s your name! and who is this!!" I then at that point (about 8 minutes into the conversation) I told her I didn't need an appointment anymore and hung up. read more

After looking for Dr. Tsovinar Tekkelian's address, I stumbled upon her Yelp profile. Some time ago I started seeing her as my physician at the recommendation of family. The ironic thing here is that the time I spent with her is not reflective of the reviews shown here. Unfortunately, as providers in healthcare we are often at the mercy of our staff, patients, and managed care requirements. This is one big juggling act that people who are not providers will never know. I was moved to write this review because the compassionate lady that I met and who cares for me is not what is described in some of these negative reviews. Ultimately when choosing a physician one needs to understand that a doctor is to be competent which she is and she is compassionate. The problem with websites such as Yelp and many others like it, is that doctors and restaurants are reviewed based upon the same criteria and within the same forums. Doctors have, 'waiting rooms' because that is what it is for. If you do not want to wait to see a doctor, perhaps you should consider becoming one and provide care to yourself, or go to a newly licensed and newly graduated physician and help him or her go through the learning curve at your expense. Patients wait in the waiting room while other patients are cared for. Ironically, no one wants to wait, but yet patients want as much time with the doctor as possible when they are in the examination room with the doctor and in that moment they fail to recall that there are also patients waiting their turn after them. This is unfair and it clearly fails to be objective and impartial when you are reviewing a practitioner responsible for your health and well being. Patient care is patient care and it is not the same as serving an omelette at a restaurant or a waitress who did not bring you a napkin on time so to offer a review regarding a doctor based on the size of their waiting room, or to assume that family is being snuck in through the back door based on complete assumptions and in anger is very misleading to other readers. read more

I am so sorry to give 1 star because the MD Tatik. Tekkelyan and her team deserve 0. The worst customer service with no responsibility. It seems this is doctor's hobby not career. It's a total joke starting from the doctor up to the receptionist who would squeeze in friends or family members from the back door to cut the line. read more

My grandmother has been seeing Dr.Tekkelian for many years. I take her regularly for check-ups and blood-work. She is an amazing doctor, and her staff are very friendly. It surprised me that she knows so many languages as well. She speaks English, Armenian, Russian, and Spanish. My grandmother doesn't speak english so it was very helpful to have a doctor who can communicate with her effectively. The doctor also prescribes any medication she needs. Everyone in my family goes to this office. Overall, the service is great and it is constantly improving. I get an appointment for my grandmother and hardly wait to be seen. Aside from customer service, you should be happy to know that Dr.Tekkelian is extremely committed to her career. She definitely knows what she is doing. There aren't too many doctors as knowledgeable as her. read more
