I was not happy at all with my 2 visits. When Dr finally entered the room to see me for my follow up appt after completing 12 sessions of PT, he stood at the doorway and asked how i was doing. I said my range has improved, but not 100% there, but definitely better. He asked me to show him how high I can lift my arm. He said, yea, it'll take time, let's do another 12 session of PT (at easily $100+ per session). I said NO, I rather do my own exercises at home and will reach out to him if I felt I needed more sessions later. This interaction lasted about 1 - 1.5 mins, while he stood at the doorway with the door wide open! he never even touched my shoulder to see how it was moving. It was as if he was just dropping by on his way to more important patients.
Dr Panossian is the best. We have been seeing him on and off for over 10 years. He did surgery on both my son's and my shoulder and is now helping me with my knee.
Dr. Panossian has been my PTP for over 17 years. He always gives 100% and is a kind, caring, and thorough physician. He is the reason I return to the Huntington Orthopedic Institute for care.
