First visit very pleased with Dr Ashot
Jan-2025
Had a great experience with Dr Kotcharian. Very pleasant and explained things really well. Unfortunately there is nothing that can really be done for my lower back at this time but told me what I can do to maybe help. I had an extremely long wait in the office though which I wasn’t really happy about

He is clear and concise about what you could have and what you most likely need
Jan-2025
Always takes the time to explain things in an easy to understand manner.
Jan-2025
Took time, explained everything, answered all questions and developed a plan of treatment.
Jan-2025
Condescending, arrogant and seemingly sarcastic. Not very pleased with attitude or that he didn't seem interested in looking closely at CT scans & MRI. Also no hands on for range of motion and no exam. Don't have much experience in this field of medicine, but felt better treated by other providers a few years back when I had cervical pinched nerve.
Jan-2025
He’s the best always listens to you advises what’s best to do for your problem always kind and thoughtful
I would recommend him to anyone
Jan-2025
He was super understanding and game up with a game plan to get me back to my old self.
Jan-2025
Could not find office. No sign. No help from absurd phone system. Huge campus with no direction.
Will try again Monday.
