I am absolutely grateful for Dr Simonian and his team. I’ve been dealing with Complications from a previous surgery that has completely impacted my life for the last 12 years. I’ve honestly have felt that there has been a black cloud hovering over me since then. Dr Simonian took that black cloud away. The quality of life I once knew before has returned. All the pain and associated complications are gone. I will forever be grateful for what he did for me.Posted on Google Sheila DeLaCruzFebruary 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Staff courteous. Dr. Explained procedure for Surgery with shoulder model and at follow up he let me know with pictures what he was able to do, caring. Heard my concerns and took time to assure me.Posted on Google Julie GrantJanuary 31, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had a shoulder and a knee repair by Dr. Simonian and he is excellent. If you need hand holding, he’s not your doc. If you want your health issue handled right the first time, he’s the one. I literally left the hospital with no knee pain after surgery. I healed quickly without any issues.Load moreVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
