Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A Master of His Craft: Life-Changing.
Discovering Dr. Panossian has been life-changing. From the start, he made me feel completely at home during an in-person consultation that answered every question with genuine care. His attentive listening, conservative approach, and unwavering professionalism left a lasting impression. Beyond his clinical work, he dedicates his free time to volunteering internationally, bringing smiles to those in need. I sought help for a complex, decade-long issue with a frowning resting face—a challenge especially in the delicate mouth area. Dr. Panossian’s mastery was evident during my two-hour procedure under local anesthesia, as he meticulously triple-checked every detail using protractors and precise measurements. His relentless pursuit of perfection and the artistry in his work are truly remarkable. Natalie, his head assistant, also ensured the entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. I am profoundly grateful for their exceptional care.

Beware
I had an awful experience with this surgeon. He performed a reconstructive procedure that didn’t fix the problem. It did leave me hospitalized for several days with an infection that could have been avoided had I received proper care from him and the hospital. I now need more surgery to fix what he did.

I was so extremely happy that I found Dr. Panossian to do my nose surgery. I did a lot of searching to try to find the right doctor who did rhinoplasty and very happy that I was able to find Dr. Panossian. I wanted to pick a doctor who did lots of noses and nose surgeries and Dr. Panossian specializes not only in no surgeries but very complicated facial surgeries so he is excellent at what he does and an extremely skilled physician and surgeon. I was born was a very big and wide ethnic nose that hooked when I smiled and I had a terrible side profile which I always hated. And watching videos and looking at all of the photos, I felt Dr. Panossian did an excellent job making ethnic noses beautiful but still natural looking. Dr. Panossian is a wonderful doctor. He is smart, knowledgeable, and more than anything, he is really a human being and you really get the feeling with him that he genuinely cares about you and wants to do a good job and wants you to be happy with the end result. As soon as I met him, within seconds I knew I had absolutely picked the right doctor for my nose surgery. One of the things that I learned Dr. Panossian does differently from the other well-known rhinoplasty surgeons in the area is that he does a closed nose surgery meeting, he does not cut up the entire bottom of your nose and you do not have a big scar and the healing time is much faster and the recovery time is much faster. After watching videos of the recovery timeline for girls who did nose surgeries with other doctors who do not do a closed nose surgery, I was so happy that I went with Dr. Panossian because my nose literally looks like nothing has ever happened to it, there is no big scar, and and it looks perfect. I'm about six weeks post operation at this point, and my new nose is just beautiful and I could not be happier with how it looks. It is much smaller, much more narrow, the tip is much more refined, and my profile looks so good I can't believe it. I only wish that I had had the surgery years ago and did not wait so long. The office is in a beautiful location and the staff are actually very friendly and were very kind to me throughout the entire process. For the appointments that I had, before the surgery and the follow-up visits after, there was no long waiting time, I waited maybe a couple of minutes to see Dr. Dr. Panossian. During my initial consultation visit Dr. Panossian was very kind and I felt very comfortable. The quote I was given for my surgery I felt was very reasonable and I was able to get scheduled very promptly. The surgery staff were extremely professional and again also very kind and friendly and the whole thing went so much faster and easier than I thought it was going to be. I highly recommend Dr. Panossian for your nose surgery/rhinoplasty. He did an excellent job with mine and I could not be any happier. I have recommended him to everyone I know and I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a rhinoplasty.

After years of searching for a surgeon willing to remove our daughters complicated tumor related to NF we found Dr Panossian. As a nurse I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, experienced with complex cases such as ours and deeply compassionate. God answered our prayers through Dr Panossian and my little girl is painfree and her outlook on life is brighter. His office staff is efficient, helpful and courteous. Amber is a gem:)
