Southern California Hip Institute

“Best Hip Specialist in LA!!!!!”

I highly recommend Dr. Garabekyan for any Hip needs you have. He is patient and through and very honest about every aspect of the journey. He will do everything in his power to avoid unnecessary surgery. I had 3 other doctor's opinions and they all lead me straight back to Dr. Garabekyan. No matter what he will take the absolute best care possible.

“Excellent Doctor and staff”

I have been well taken care of here and the staff has been excellent. Zohra has always gotten back to me quickly and with all the information I needed. Dr. Garabekyan has been awesome.

“I felt very safe, heard, and understood as to what things were important to me and how I wanted my body to function after surgery!”

It has been a great experience the entire time. As a dancer, I was really nervous about losing hip mobility and range of motion after going through surgery, but Dr Garabekyan really listened and understood what I wanted, and helped me make the best decision for the longevity of my dancing, as well as the health of my hips. He put me at ease with explaining to me how the surgical process would work, and reassured me that he would do everything he could to help me not lose any mobility in my hips, while still fixing the base of the problem.

“Knew I was in good hands from the start”

After going to numerous specialist and pain management doctors Dr Garabekyan was the first doctor to point out my FAI and said it was the reason for my torn labrum. I first went to Dr G for pain in my left hip that was getting in the way of every day activities. Dr Garabekyan was very clear and made sure I understood everything right from the start. Even after my surgeries he was available by phone or email to quell any of my fears, which sometimes ended up being nothing. I did have to go back for a revision surgery on my left hip due to an anchor that was not holding down my cartilage properly, but I had no fears going under the knife again and Dr G was able to repair everything quite nicely. Now I can go on and be as active as I was prior to the pain.

“very satisfied with the treatment i received”

the process was quick and the dr did such a great job explaining what i had and how it can be fixed. i am very satisfied.

“Excellent care! Trustworthy”

Dr Garabekyan was able to get to the root of my pain when other doctors failed to properly diagnose. I am blessed to have been able to find an orthopedic with his level of expertise. I am on the road to recovery, and can't thank Dr Garabekyan enough.

“Dr. Garabekyan is fantastic!”

Dr. Garabekyan performed two surgeries for me, hip replacement and knee arthroscopic. At every turn, in every respect, he was magnificent. I had complete trust in his judgment, abilities, and care, and that trust paid off. Both surgeries were successful. I can walk, pain-free and glitch-free, and I am grateful to Dr. Garabekyan for bringing me to that happy situation. He's superb!

“Great!”

Dr Garabekya was very clear when describing the issues with my hips and what the options are. He spoke to me not at me. He heard what I was saying.

Zohra is absolutely amazing! :)

“Wonderful Doctor”

Great experience. Knows his stuff. Only thing I wish is that I could have gotten in sooner when I had intense pain.

“Dr Garabekyan diagnosed a 20 yr old problem in about 2 min, and it was subsequently repaired successfully”

I am not sure there are enough superlatives to describe my experience w Dr Garabekyan and his assistant, Zohra. They never seemed to be rushed, are always willing to answer questions, even if they are repeat questions. Both have excellent bedside manner. I am 66 yrs old and I have had issues with my Hip for about 20 yrs. Drs kept telling me that my hip was fine although it was extremely painful at times and unable to support me. Dr Garabekyan diagnosed my issue within 2 min of seeing my x-ray and MRI. Surgery was scheduled and I had FAI and labrum repair. No hip replacement in my future!!!!I am so grateful that I found him and his team. My recovery has been very smooth, I walked right after surgery. I am without pain and playing golf again with that pain a distant memory.
