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.

Awful he is a Lier, dishonest Dr. he lie to me by promising to improve my Tammy tack but he TJ Dr. did a better job that he did. He is a scammer, he left me to at the hospital and I almost die due to anestesia complications and was not even around to help me. My daughter called hiim to days later as I continue to have complications he started yelling And screaming out so loudly and didn’t help us.

Horrify, disappointed, sad that a Dr here in the USA will do something like that to another human been. He was dishonest and lie to my mother. He gave my mom false expectations. My mom is a single mother and had been saving for years to have a Tammy tack after having twins. Dr Bardakjian told her that he was going to do lipo and tummy tack but at the end he didn't do lipo and my mom keeps looking pregnant. She almost die as she was having a hard time coming off the Anastasia he was gone, she almost die.

I honestly hate doctors nowadays. They don't care about you at all or what's best for you. I'm so thankful to have found Dr. Bardakjian. He is such a great doctor my whole family goes to him and we all love him! I wouldn't trust anyone else and I swear he did a great job on my tummy tuck. I've looked at hundreds of photos online from many different doctors and they just don't compare to my results. My results are so amazing that people can't even tell :).

Dr.Bardakjian recently performed a procedure with my 15 year old son to remove a blemish on his cheek. I can say without hesitation that the entire process with Dr.Bardakjian was incredible. The amount of care was easily recognized through his explanations of what would take place during the procedure to myself and my son. 5 Stars would recommend !!

Dr. B is a perfectionist, caring and understanding doctor. He wants his patients to be happy and I believe he truly cares. Dr. B has performed 3 surgeries on me due to having Stage 3 breast cancer and a radical mastectomy and now I feel normal, confident and beautiful. He's truly the best!

Dr. B has been my surgeon for the last 23 years. I am a male, in good shape and work out 5 days a week. My biggest problem was my love handle. I could not get rid of them no matter how hard I tried. Well I saw Dr. B and one week later my problem was all gone. After the swelling was gone so were my love ( Hate ) handles as well. I don't know why I waited so long to do it.. Thank you Dr. B
