Dr. Panossian has treated three generations of my family. That's how much we trust in him. He's the best. He doesn't just opt for surgery if he feels it can heal naturally. I hope he continues to practice for a long time.

Two and a half hours late. I was in for a shoulder issue and the whole time he was talking to me he had his hands on my knees or rubbing my calves. Strange bedside manner. I have little confidence in his abilities and will certainly get a second opinion (and surgeon) if I have to have a shoulder replacement in the future.

Dr P is the best.

I really like Sr. Panossian . When I went for a post-op 3 mos. After my total shoulder replacement surgery , he was a little rough over extending my arm and twisting it in a way that really hurt. Im still in pain. I just wish he'd been a little gentler.

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.
Jun-2024
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.

Jan-2024
Dr. Panossian takes the time to listen to your complaint and uses his brain to figure out what is wrong with you. You are a person to him, not just a body part.
Dec-2023
had to wait two hours to see him and then i had a hard time understanding him because of his accent.

Dr. Panossian is a very caring, kind person. He is an amazing technician, with excellent results from his surgeries. I have had several bone surgeries under his care. He is always advancing his techniques. He makes sure I get any treatments I need, from himself or other practitioners.

Jul-2022
Doctor was straightforward. He reviewed my records, asked questions,.ooked at xrays. It was my 1st visit. It took less than half hr. He didn't measure, or touch, move my knees. Gave me few suggestions, which I already knew and referred me to see my GP doctor.. I went in hopeful and came out not satisfied.
Jul-2022

May-2022
Talks a little fast but seems to be knowledgeable and empathetic.
Apr-2022
I was very disappointed with the doctor who assisted me
To start off he didn’t ask me for consent to put a cortisone on me. I felt like he was abusing his power, i spoke up and said I didn’t want the injection since i already had 4 previously and he responded with “I’m the doctor, I’m the professional”.
Another reason i was very disappointed with my visit was because he didn’t have my face sheet therefore he didn’t know anything about my history and made me uncomfortable how he mentioned out loud “worker compensation”, i felt as if i was put under a category with no actual care for me as the patient.
I understand the doctor time is valuable but i felt like i as the patient was a bother to the doctor.
Also Dr. Didn’t explain me nothing about the XR and MRI
Mar-2022
Dr. Panosian He is very personable and made me feel comfortable about the procedure

Dr. P is the Shiznit !! He’s the best orthopedic doctor this side of the Mississippi. I’m so glad that I switched Ortho doctors and began seeing Dr. P! I am completely confident that he will fix my shoulders.

He is rude, and cruel and has absolutely no bedside manner. He also is incompetent as a Orthopedic surgeon. I got a second opinion and discovered I need right shoulder surgery. He told me to do "physical therapy ". Thank God I got a second opinion. I could have really injured my shoulder further.
Apr-2021
Had to wait 30 minutes to see the doctor. He is was very polite and went over everything but in a rush since he had a lot of patients cause that was his reason for making me wait I assume.
