Vahe Panossian's Online Review Report Card

Vertical professional and knowledgeable

Dr. Panossian treated me with concern & honesty. He respected my concerns as a patient and made me feel involved when we discussed procedures. His staff was always helpful & professional. The OR staff was the best! From the front desk with Karla, who showed great compassion & care as I checked in, to the staff in the back. Nile made me feel at ease & very comfortable prior to & after my surgey. He was very knowledgeable of the treatment I needed pre & post surgery. Nile extended his concern & called the following day to check on my well being to which I greatly appreciate since I have never experienced that before. Thank you to Dr. Panossian & his team of amazing professionals for your collaboration in making sure my care was important to you as much as it was for me.

Dr. Panossian was very caring and patient in explaining in detail what had happened to my injured shoulder and the course of treatment procedures that we likely had to follow accordingly. He did a fantastic job with my surgery and was very caring and responsive post surgery. I felt like I was in very good hands throughout the process. Today is the 3rd week after my surgery and after 2-3 more weeks in the sling I'll start my physical therapy sessions. Highly recommend Dr. Panossian!

The professionalism was top torch. A pleasure to visit. He was very knowledgeable and polite and had an awesome humor as well.

Dr. Panossian has been my Orthopedic doctor for approximately 29 yrs from my sons in high school back in 1994 to present. Dr. Panossian is quick in and out but if you have questions he listens, is patient hears your questions, he explains procedures goes over MRI and X-rays and gives you options. I've had several procedures/surgeries done by him and I'm very happy with the process. I give him 5 stars and always recommend him to my family and friends. He is our family Doctor.

Excellent doctor

DR Vahe is a great doctor he did two surgeries on me I’m very happy

My name is Parvin N. and I write to give an honest, considered review of Dr. Vahe Panossian's surgery on my left shoulder in July 2021. Having shoulder issues for some time, I decided to explore shoulder replacement surgery and was referred to Dr. Panossian who, upon conducting x-ray and MRI, assured me that 90% of his patients --who underwent this kind of surgery-- were happy and content with his operation afterwards. So, I put my trust in him and went ahead. After spending one night at Huntington Hospital, I was released the day after the surgery without any post-surgery instructions as to what to expect and what to do at home -just given an icebox to use at night! I began resting at home and took care of my shoulder by not moving it; however, after about two weeks, my shoulder swallowed with black color. Worriedly making an appointment to seek his instructions, Dr. Panossian prescribed me antibiotics and a twice a week physiotherapy for a duration of 6 weeks. Upon later visits, due to the continuation of my shoulder's discomfort, he extended the physiotherapy for a total of 48 sessions. Unfortunately, there came no improvement. After more than a year from Dr. Panossian's operation, I am not able to lift my arm to its full extent, not even higher than what I could before the shoulder replacement operation. In addition, my left shoulder is disfigured and doesn't look normal like the right one. In about a tear Dr. Panosian requested a nerve study to be done the results showed nerve damage. After getting second and third opinion from other surgeons, we were told since it has passed a year after the surgery, no corrective surgery could be done for the nerve damage. This is another evidence that the post-surgery treatment was done without due diligence, and his negligence took away my independence. In our last meeting in his office, I tearfully reminded Dr. Panosian of his unfulfilled assurances, his failed operation and ensuing treatment. I expressed my dissatisfaction with his entire shoulder replacement work. Dr. Panossian simply responded that "Oh Parvin, I'm sorry that you are in the range of that 10%" I write this sincere review because I owe it to myself, and my fellow human beings who might become Dr. Panossian's patients, to tell the true story of my sad experience. I trusted his assurance and relied upon his medical capabilities, but he failed me miserably.

Dr. Panossian was approachable, caring and made my mother feel extremely comfortable and listened to. She also trusted his knowledge and skill.
