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.

Great Doctor
I went into see the doctor about the pain I was having in my leg and back. The doctor took his time showing me what was causing the pain and explained my options. He was very thorough. That night I was admitted into the ER and had spinal surgery the next day. The surgery was a success, and I was home a day later. I highly recommend this doctor and his partners. The hospital I was in was also one of the best Hospital I’ve ever been in. Everyone was nice and compassionate. All my needs were met.

I had a positive experience at my first visit with Dr. Avanesov. He was attentive and thorough in his examination and took the time to review and explain my MRI results. He listened to my concerns and did not rush the visit. As an experienced RN, I found Dr. Avanesov to be professional, knowledgeable and most importantly, willing to take the time needed to allow the patient to ask questions and understand the treatment plan. I would recommend him based on my experience thus far.

I had spine surgery 2 weeks ago to replace 2 discs. From the initial consultation with Dr. Avanesov to my follow up appointment after surgery, the experience was very positive. The office staff at Total Orthopedics is very helpful and extremely nice and respectful. The office is clean and efficient and follow all COVID safety protocols. The surgery took place at Mt. Sinai- South Nassau Hospital. Christine, the nurse navigator who helps schedule the surgery is patient and kind and guided me through the process. The overnight hospital stay was comfortable and safe. I highly recommend Dr. Avanesov and would refer any family member or friend who was in need of a spine specialist. He took the time to explain everything to me and his bedside manner is very pleasant.

Absolutely love Dr. Avanesov! He did my back surgery in January 2015 and neck surgery in March 2020. I never thought I would agree to neck surgery but everything went so well with the back surgery, I knew I was in good hands. Something one should keep in mind is that all surgeries are not guaranteed. I was lucky! And, surgery fixes the existing problem but if more things develop, it's not the surgeon's fault.

I was seen by Total Orthopedics and Sports Medicine 3 weeks ago for neck pain. The office in Massapequa & Syosset was efficient and professional. The front desk ; Personnel, Pa, MRI tech.were friendly, prompt and clear in describing the procedures and test I was having. Scheduling for the test and followup appointment was a breeze. Dr Avanesov was reassuring and through with my concerns. I was impressed with everyone's high standards. Very well run.

When Dr. Ajendra Sohal failed to diagnose my condition, Dr. Avanesov stepped in, diagnosed the problem immediately, & performed surgery the next day. Thanks to him, I am able to walk & feed myself again. If it weren't for him, I'd be a quadriplegic.
