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.

Look no further for a knee specialist
Dr. Nahigian is a no BS straight forward doctor. He is extremely thorough in his exam and answers all your questions. I went in on a tuesday to see him for pain that I had been experiencing for years, he squeezed me in for surgery the following Thursday. I felt heard and understood. I was comfortable in his hands. I am so thankful for the referral from a friend and looking forward to having a highly functional knee after recovery. To the office team you are amazing, always friendly and kind. Thank you and Happy Holidays to you all. You guys truly feel like family!

Saved my athletic career
I could not be more grateful to Dr Nahigian! From the second I walked in, I was greeted with such kind people and barely had to wait (which is always a bonus!) I have been having so much pain in my knee lately, anyone else that I went to just kept telling me it would go away. Not Dr N! He took the time to sit with me to actually examine it and talk through what is going on. I’m so relieved to not just have answers, but also an understanding of what is going on, and also a great plan on action for what I need. Even with what I could see was a busy office, he was so caring and made me feel as if I was the most important patient. It’s can be frustrating being in pain and not feeling as if someone is listening or want to help. Dr N’s athletic background made me feel as if hw truly understood the pain and problems because he knows what it is like. I’m sure that he is understanding and empathetic to other cases as well (but I can only speak for myself!) 10/10 recommend him!

I went there with very bad knee pain. The doctor made fun of my ASICS shoes , telling me they were no good, he told me going barefoot was bad, prescribed a pain medication also I told him I'm already taking Ibuprofen, and send me to his shop to buy overpriced insoles...what I both didn't take or did. 4 weeks later I found out myself that I habe iliotibial band syndrome and have it now confirmed and am doing Physical Therapy to alleviate the pain and heal it eventually. It's very common.
