Shahan Yacoubian's Online Review Report Card

Im a 52 year female who was suddenly experiencing extreme left hip & leg pain for a two month period.  After an XRay & MRI confirmed a tear in my Labrum, Hamstring & Glute & that my left hip was completely bone on bone, the only course of treatment was Total Hip Replacement.  Dr. Devlyn Corrigan DO, at Exer Urgent Care in Sherman Oaks, referred me to Orthopaedic Surgery Specialists, Dr. Shahan V. Yacoubian.  Im so thankful I took his advice.  Dr. Yacoubian took the time to sit down, explain the surgery, best case / worst case scenarios, he answered all of my questions & he had a quiet confidence about him along with a warm personality.  I liked that!  I swim competitively on a Masters Swim Team (Golden Road Aquatics in Burbank), so it was important to me that my doctor be approachable & understand my short term and long term goals.  Dr. Yacoubian did all that & more!  My neighbors couldnt believe I was walking strong without any aid by week 3.  My surgery was textbook (according to the doc) & my recovery was smooth, & now, my scar is barely noticeable.  I followed his orders to the tee & I took the class at Providence St. Josephs Hospital (led by Ann Smith, RN, Ortho Program Mgr for over 20 years, there isnt anything this woman doesnt know) to know & understand how to prepare myself, my house and the aftercare I would require.  Plan your work & work your plan...read the material, & of course, listen to your Doctor.  I also attribute my incredible recovery to OSS Elite Physical Therapy (right next door to Dr. Yacoubians Office).  I felt like a Professional Athlete with the quality of care, attention & level of difficulty at each PT session.  Every session Im so impressed by Abby Merrin, DPT, her knowledge will blow your mind & attention to detail will put you at ease.  Trust me, the range of motion my hip achieved in such a short period of time...even Dr. Yacoubian took notice, its thanks to you Abby & Tatiana!!  Its a big decision & surgery is a huge deal, but should I need anything else down the road....Ill be right back here at OSS, no doubt about it.  Thanks Dr. Yacoubian & The Fantastic Staff at OSS for getting me back in the Swim of Things!  Stronger Than Yesterday....Carolyn Zderko

Dr. Shahan has been my orthopedic surgeon for few years now. Not only he is a great surgeon but he is a wonderful person. Best part about his practice is you dont wait in his office more then 10 minutes. Great bedside manners too. I love him.

I was walking with so much pain in 2016, I decided to have a total knee replacement after 3 arthroscopic surgeries by another doctor.  Dr. Yacoubian replaced my left knee in April 2016, and when I went to Hawaii that summer, I was walking so well my family was having a hard time keeping up with me.  I was so pleased I had my right knee, which also had severe osteoarthritis, replaced this September and the results were even better.  I cant recommend Dr. Yacoubian and his staff more highly.

I had both my knee replacement surgeries done by Dr. Shahan Yacoubian. He is the best doctor, very competent, knows what he is doing. Has the best personality and patience. I felt safe with Dr. ShahanI have been his patient for several years and have always been satisfied with the care and attention that I have received.Everyone one of the staff members are friendly and professional. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful service!

Although we went to the Burbank office and 15 mins late...we were directed to the Glendale office.  We got confused with the parking but eventually found the right building.  With the stress of being very late we walked in and were greeted with a smile.  My mother was called in right away.  Anna was incredible, very professional and personable.  She made our day.  She is what all people in a customer service work place, should be like.

Dr. Yacoubian and his office are amazing. I suffered a broken hip during a Fire academy. I couldnt ask for a better surgeon and staff. Theyre all very qualified and great at what they do, not to mention they care about their patients. Rest assured that you will be in good hands.

As you can see, I have only written a handful of reviews in the past.  This is my second review for Dr. Yacoubian.  This time I broke my left index finger.  I first saw Dr. Yacoubian for my knee 4 years ago.  Since I had such a good experience the first time, I decided to see him again.  Once again, I couldnt be more impressed.  I was fitted a finger splint immediately to start treatment.  The office is well run and the staff are very helpful and friendly.  Dr. Yacoubian has an excellent bedside manner.  He answered all of my questions and I did not feel rushed at all.  It is nice to know a doctor that cares.

I went through three doctors, three misdiagnosis, and four months of pain and inconvenience until I met Dr. Shahan Yacoubian.  He gets my highest recommendation.  I wound up with a partial knee reconstruction and three months later I was completely recovered with a full range of motion.Before the operation, I asked Dr. Yacoubian whether he was going to do a partial or full reconstruction and he said, I am going to have to go in and look. I do whatever is in the best interest of the patient.  I definitely have the feeling that is what he always does.  If you want to save yourself a lot time go directly to Dr. Yacoubian.

I had hip replacement surgery 11/23/20 in the morning and was standingby that afternoon. I was treated like a king by Dr Yacoubian and his teamfrom start to finish and all through PT, it was a very good experience and very hands on care. They have a communication app Twistle that keeps the doctor and his team with you 24/7 great app!!!Thank You Dr. Yacoubian and TeamBryan Olmstead

I signed up with Yelp so that I could write this review. Dr. Yacoubian is amazing. I have been a patient of his for years and finally took the plunge and had total knee replacement. The first few weeks are definitely not much fun but if you stick to the program and your exercises youll be on your feet in no time. I am back to sporting activities that I love but have not been able to participate in for a very long time. There is no longer pain going up and downstairs or after sitting for long periods. Dr. Yacoubian was very attentive and accessible the day of the surgery and anytime afterwards, even giving me his cell number in case of any issues. I couldnt have been asked for a better outcome. If I need my other knee replaced in the near future you can bet Ill be going to Dr. Shahan Yacoubian!
