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.

By far, Dr. Ovanessoff has spent more time with me than any other endocrinologist talking through the possible causes and impacts of my condition. She has explained multiple possibilities and potential actions, and has encouraged questions and engagement from both me and my spouse. She is thorough and proactive, and I can't begin to express how grateful I am to her, as an RN. I have been to 4 previous endocrinologists, one of them a renowned neuroendocrinologist who spent less than 5 minutes with me at any appointment while turning down concerns I'd expressed, and Dr. Ovanessoff goes far above and beyond when explaining the situation and options, and addressing concerns regarding my unique diagnosis and it's impact to my endocrine system.

Do not recommend-- office not timely !
Appt was made on Jan 14 2022 for March 10, 2022. So it was a 2 month wait for the appt and then after an hour wait in the office, we finally left without seeing Dr. Garineh Ovanessoff. Appears to be a poorly run office as we were not the only ones waiting and waiting. We were just told the DR was running behind when we asked, so we finally just told them we felt the DR was cancelling the appt due to an hour wait and we were leaving.

Worst Dr I ever went to.y A1c went from 7.4 to 9.9 using her protocol! Does not listen just put patients on cookie cutters protocol. Like many doctors she's with BigPharma...get ppl using drugs they do not belong on! My cholesterol went sky high, 220+ after using her protocol! Previously was 162. To put me on two different insulins from zero. My previous protocol had my A1c at 7.4. She was literally killing me. Had a caverlier attitude about my health!!! Please do not use her. She will have you on all sort of drugs that you do not need. It will only make your health worst!

I came to Dr Ovanessoff after a bad experience with another endocrinologist in the valley. My first impressions of Dr Ovanessoff Is that this doctor is a breath of fresh air. She's friendly, understanding, and certainly it's a professional in her field.
