Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor. I had a few issues besides gynecological and she helped me to resolve them. Never had a problem to schedule an appointment. Always get confirmation calls or results of my tests. I would definitely recommend DR.Ohanian to all my friends

I haven been a patient of Dr Ohanian's for several years, through breast cancer, organ donation and the birth of two children. She is an excellent physician, incredibly knowledgable in her field. The reason we wait in her in the waiting room is because she is taking time with patients in her examining room. Be prepared to wait but keep in mind the reason. She has always been there for me and my family.

Dr. Ohanian's office may be filled with numerous degrees and certifications, but she must have skipped every lesson on social skills, manners, and common decency. After multiple visits of being disrespected, I will not be returning. There is a difference between being blunt and honest with your patients, and being downright cruel. You should never leave a doctor's office feeling bullied and bad about yourself. A doctor should never call you a liar, or judge you when you answer questions honestly

Dr. O is a very smart physician who is interested in treating the whole person. I have seen her for over a year and look forward to continuing my female health care and wellness. She is friendly and very casual with her patients in the exam room. We laugh through the treatments.

Had to wait a really long time after I was asked to come in earlier than my appointment. Got literally yelled at and fat-shamed by Dr. O. I'm not even going to get into details but it was bad- she made fun of my body. My last time going back.

THE WORST DR. After a checkup, she sent me for a biopsy for a cyst in my breast. The hospital told me it was benign. Dr. O's nurse called me at 9:00pm a week later and said I had breast cancer completely like it was no big deal. I broke down. When I called her right back Dr. O Yelled at me and said She isn't working and to call back another day. My mom was so upset, she called her everyday for a week, and Dr.O refused to answer or call us back. DO NOT EVER CONSIDER SEEING HER.

I have been seeing Dr. Ohanian for the last 5+ years and haven't been happy. I need to set aside 1.5 hours for a regular checkup and only 10min of that is spent with her. I can recall ONE time when the front desk gave me a courtesy call about the delay; if you're running late at least let your patients know. I agree with past comments with the use of the words "judgmental", "condescending", and "unwelcome" - I have felt all of these. Her personality is definitely cold, however I catch her on a

I have been coming to Dr. Ohanian for laser hair removal treatments. They have been working wonderfully. Very professional and pleasant staff and Doctor. Wouldn't ever consider going anywhere else. I highly recommend her.

Run for the hills. She told me to use two condoms during intercourse which should be enough said but it gets better. At one point during an exam I was a bit squirmy when she inserted two gloved fingers into me(which I think is a pretty normal reaction) and in response to my expression of discomfort she responded relax don't you like this during sex?. She also inserted her unwanted opinions on sex every chance she got and gave a lot of blatantly bad advice. Cherry on top was the hour long wait.
