LOVE Dr Cepkinian. So knowledgeable, informative, answers all your questions, with confidence. His reputation is the one who fixes even the ones gone bad. My case is complex and his confidence is so comforting. Treated other family memebers as well. Highly recommend.
He has been a life saver!!
Always very good at explaining results and possible causes. Thank you Dr. C
Takes his time to understand the issues a patient faces. Superb surgeon who answers questions willingly and fully. He has been very careful and thoughtful in planning and preparing me for surgery.
He is a Rude Doctor very unkind and made me feel very bad and unease with him . He humiliated me because i had not lost weight and humiliated me because he had to repeat something i misunderstood , talk to me as if i was a dumb person, which I’m not . I will never come back to see him again. Tell him from me for being a Dr he is fat himself and learn to be kind in life , specially to his patients. We go see Dr because we are not well and we need to be understood and fell care and kindness, not Humiliation and rudeness. Next day i called to office manager , left a message , she didn’t bother to call me back to see what was my problem. I will leave a bad review every where i can because of this Dr . I couldn’t sleep couple of night because the way he treated me .
Great surgeon. Very personable and courteous. Takes the time to explain things.
An excellent physician
Doctor Vahan Cepkinian very nicely did very well. Thanks
Appointment was at 1:45, Dr finally showed up at 2:40 DR. Cepkinian told me (not explain) I needed a hip replacement, didn't offer any other options. We I explained that I had personal responsibilities and couldn't undergo the operation, he got upset and told me my other option was taking Ibuprofen, and then walked out. Completely unprofessional
He is the best and kind doctor with good stuff. Thank you 😊
