I chose to see Dr. Vartivarian after being referred from a good friend who also had her nose surgery done with him. In the photo above, I was self conscious about my nose because it was crooked from the front view (after getting injured playing basketball) and from the side view, it made it look like i have a hump/hooked nose. After the consultation, he explained everything clearly as to what I wanted and what can be done to make sure it’s not too much. And Rachel is super amazing. Always very happy and welcoming whenever i came in for an appointment. My surgery was in August 2018, and I’m very very happy with my results and would recommend him to anyone that needs rhinoplasty done.

I am very upset at the outcome of my surgery. I am so embarrassed of the outcome and final results...I don't even want my health care doctor to see the results..nor anyone else for that matter. The work Dr. Vartivarian did looks like his first try at a double mastectomy!! Reminds me of the first picture my child colored when in pre-school! One breast looks like I am forming "Waves" on it when I bend over and the other one just looks horrible. I can't wear regular bras...only sports bras because my breasts are not shaped right. The are both totally different. I have to wear DARK clothes so you can't see the "odd" shape my breasts are. I now will seek another plastic surgeon the fix the mess Dr. Vartivarian did...all out of pocket by the way! My breasts are not even comfortable. If any woman out there remembers what the EXPANDERS felt like when they were put in...that's what I feel like now. Very uncomfortable...talk about being depressed! I would NOT recommend this doctor to anyone. Keep looking...

Went to see Dr. V for the first time. Not very friendly and I was not comfortable. He took complete control of my appt and was not compassionate to my situation at all! Didn't seem very interested in what I ahd to say. He was also abrupt and for being a surgeon and possibly going under the knife, not a comforting scenario! He said hello when he first came in the room but did not introduce himself, shake my hand or make eye contact. Perhaps I caught him on a bad day :( I will not be going back.

Had surgery with him and the day i was supposed to leave and go home i was rushed back into surgery for an emergency surgery. He told me and my family nothing. He was rude and did not care for me what so ever. When he would come in and do his check ups he would leave the door wide open and leave me exposed to anyone that walked by in the hallway. when i would ask him to leave me alone he would just walk in and had no concern or manner towards me what so ever.

I chose Dr Vartivarian because I needed reconstructive surgery due to breast cancer. He is the most caring and skilled doctor I have ever encountered. He is very positive and knowledgeable. He was always honest and realistic with me, but in a very sensitive and caring manner. I always felt completely comfortable and trusting of his medical opinion. My surgery results are amazing and his follow up care has been impeccable. I have trusted this doctor with my life and I would recommend him highly!

Do not use this doctor! After I was told that I would have a simple day surgery, I ended up having 3 and paying out of pocket! He was not helpful or sympathetic. I have scars that look like aomething from a horror movie. Beware.
