Dr. Kotcharian was very open and honest in addressing my back problems and concerns about treatment. Although his expertise is pain management, he didn't over sell it but offered it as an approach to treatment. He was very open to other approaches and helpful in directing me . Great finding a doctor who puts the patient's needs first! Thank you!

I have many specialists due to a degenerative spine condition and severe osteoarthritis. I have been a patient of Dr. Kotcharian for five years. He has performed RF cervical and lumbar ablations and administered epidural steroid injections. His treatment approach is conservative and the procedure results are precise. Also he treats his procedure patients at Premier Surgery. Both have excellent reputations. You will be safe and your pain will be well managed. There is no one or no place better.
