“Talented and caring physician and staff. I am only about three weeks beyond my FFS and can already the beautiful new me coming through. Dr. Mardirossian and his staff have always been very kind, caring, and helpful...from my initial consultation to helping me file with my insurance, I never felt like I was in this alone. Dr. Mardirossian is both a skilled doctor and an artisan, and I am very grateful that I was able to have my surgery done by him.”
“Amazing surgeon and staff. I am only ~1.5 weeks out from recovery and already so incredibly happy with my results. Dr. Mardirossian's expertise, and bedside manner made the actual surgery and recovery easy and as comfortable as possible. His staff have always been kind, responsive, and excellent to work with. Could not have asked for a better experience from start to finish!”
“I cannot recommend Dr. Mardirossian based on my experience. I waited months before writing this review while attempting to address my concerns privately with the clinic. My dissatisfaction is not simply about the aesthetic outcome, but about the communication, care, and accountability I experienced before and after surgery. Before travelling internationally, I put considerable effort into communicating my goals through detailed written explanations and reference images, which the clinic encouraged. I was explicitly reassured that Dr. Mardirossian had reviewed them, that I had communicated my goals extremely well, and that what I wanted was achievable. Yet at my pre-operative consultation the night before surgery, I felt that much of that understanding disappeared. I was discouraged from referring back to our previous correspondence and found myself explaining my goals again from the beginning. Important differences in our understanding became apparent only after I had travelled, paid, and was preparing for surgery the following morning. After surgery, I developed a significant contour irregularity in my forehead. Over multiple follow-ups, my concerns were explained as related to what I had requested or to muscle activity, but no imaging was pursued. Another experienced FFS surgeon later ordered a CT scan, after which I was advised that bone resorption had occurred and that this would be considered a surgical complication rather than simply aesthetic dissatisfaction. I then spent months asking the clinic to engage with what had happened in the planning and postoperative process. Instead, I was repeatedly referred to general explanations about consent, surgical uncertainty, and clinic policy rather than receiving meaningful engagement with my specific concerns. Throughout this process, I repeatedly felt spoken over, not listened to, and that concerns about my own body were being minimized rather than taken seriously. If you are considering surgery here, particularly if travelling internationally, I recommend making sure you and the surgeon have explicitly confirmed the same understanding of your goals well before you travel, getting this in writing and keeping all other important communication in writing, and carefully reviewing the clinic's revision policy. I now consider clarity about what responsibility a surgeon will assume if a complication or unexpected result occurs one of the most important factors in choosing a surgeon. At the time of writing, I do not find this clinic's policy provides that clarity. No surgical process can guarantee a particular result. What I needed was to trust that my surgeon understood me before surgery and that, if something went wrong, my concerns would be taken seriously and there would be a clear path forward. Unfortunately, I came away from this experience without that trust.”
