I have been a patient here for years and they used to provide excellent care. Unfortunately, in recent times the experience has declined. The practice has become overly automated, making it extremely difficult to get in touch with staff or the doctor directly. Their website, which previously allowed messaging and appointment scheduling, has not been functioning for months. On several occasions I have had to go to the ER or urgent care simply because I could not reach my primary care doctor--who is supposed to be the first point of contact. When Dr. Emil was overseeing everything, the service was excellent; he is a great doctor. However, without proper access and communication, the quality of care is lost. I have since switched to another provider who is actually available to answer a call when needed. I hope this office can resolve these issues and return to the professional standard they once had, rather than continuing the current trend of being unavailable and overcapacity. read more

"The doctor took time to explain lab results and treatment options in a way I could understand. Very reassuring. The office can get busy, so making an appointment ahead of time is a must." read more

Dr Avanes and his staff are wonderful. They always go over and above for me. They are kind, caring and continue to offer genuine quality care every time I have been there. Dr Avanes has been my doctor for more than a decade. He knows me well and is always trying to find ways to help me get better. And then stay better. He is into eastern and western medicine. He believes in vitamins, and more holistic healing methods as well. read more

Should have done this years ago but as it is said better late than never. Just recently migrated my medical care to HHMD after years and years with another medical practice. My brief evaluation: Outstanding professionalism front office Outstanding care from the nurse practitioner check-in and thoroughness with every aspect of the visit Never felt rushed Openness to patient views in nutrition and lifestyle Allowance for dialog with patient at every step of the visit Does your medical professional provide this level of care? Honestly this was absolutely above any expectations for me- congratulations to HHMD and Dr. Avanes for running their practice as such. read more

I was one of this office's first patients and among the first to leave a 5-star review. Unfortunately, my experience has changed over time, and I've since switched to a different provider. The practice has become increasingly impersonal--very automated and overly reliant on online systems. Even when you visit in person, you're often directed to go home and handle things online. It no longer feels accommodating or patient-focused. read more

This was the worst experience that I've had at a health care provider. They do not check if your insurance is in network.

I can't say enough good things about this doctor's office! They are truly the most caring, trustworthy, and professional team I've ever encountered. When no one else was willing to help, they stepped forward without hesitation--offering not just medical care, but also genuine emotional and physical support. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond for their patients, making you feel valued and cared for every step of the way. I'm deeply grateful for everything they've done and highly recommend this office to anyone looking for compassionate and reliable medical care. read more

Dr. Avanes is exactly what I've been looking for in a GP for so many years and I'm so glad to have finally found him! He actually cares about his patients and spends quality time listening, asking questions, and has solid advice and knowledge. I've never felt rushed, I've never felt unheard and he's a really nice, kind man to boot! My husband feels the same, and he NEVER likes doctors. His staff and nurses are also very nice and always have a great attitude and personality; not easy to find. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Dr. Avanes has been the best Primary Care Dr. to me and my wife. I have seen him for over 10 years. More recently, he has also brought in Sela Khachikyan, NP, who is also outstanding. Both take time to listen and offer a well thought course of action. I would highly recommend either of them! Their staff is always helpful and professional, parking is easy and it is a nice, welcoming environment. read more

Between Dr Avanes and his staff I have nothing but praise for the office. From appointment to after check up , everything was so smooth and handled with care. . The staff was so helpful with getting me all my appointments as well as helping with my insurance issues. . Staff is always available to answer questions in office or by calling in. !A++ I highly recommend Harmony Health MD read more

Great doctor and staff too! Respectful and friendly. I brought my sister there for my first time. If I lived in the area, I would definitely be his patient. Thank you all! read more

Came here for a Covid test and the staff was very unprofessional. They were arguing with each other right outside my car window. When they finally saw me they tried to talk me out of getting a Covid test when I had Covid symptoms. Then they billed my insurance for an office visit and not a Covid test. They also lied on the claim and said that I saw Dr. Avanes when I never saw an MD. It took two days for the test results to come in. I had previously been tested twice by going to https://covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/. These tests were free of charge and the results actually came in quicker than harmony health. I would recommend not coming here because they will bill you for $200 worth of services for administering a nasal swab. You should just go to a place listed on https://covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/. The results come in faster and they don't charge you. read more

Great office staff, professional and friendly. Dr. Avanes is very professional, doesn't rush through patients and explains everything thoroughly. read more

I think I'm being discriminated against. I can see from the recent 5-star reviews from September 2024 that Dr. Avanes is great. So I went on their website on Tuesday, October 29, 2024 and found an appointment for today, October 31 at 930am. I was so happy! I received a prompt text and email welcoming me to Harmony Health. Then I received a personal phone call on Tuesday evening from a gentleman asking me about my insurance. I was watching the World Series (he said he was too) and I asked if I could just give them my information on Thursday, when I arrived. He said "of course." I was all set to go - had my information ready and my recent bloodwork data ready to take to Dr. Avanes. Then I get a phone call yesterday at 3:38 pm from Harmony Health. This person (female) asks me "Are you an IV patient?" I say "what do you mean?" She repeats herself as if that cleared things up. I say again, "What do you mean IV? Isn't Dr. Avanes a primary care doctor?" She says "Yes, but we're not taking new patients. We have 6000 patients and our website is broken." So I said I was very disappointed but thanked her for not wasting my time. I told her that I received a text, email, and phone call confirming my new patient appointment for a consultation. Silence. What is really going on at Harmony Health with 6000 patients and IVs? 6000? Come on. read more

While on my search for a female practitioner I found this medical center. I'm beyond happy that I did. Apparently I was a previous patient years ago as they still had my information. But, any way I'm beyond content that I found my to go doctor here. The staff was kind and attentive. But, the rockstar of my visit was hands down my new primary doctor Nicole Ocampian. Wow, I honestly never in my 30+ of my life have left a medical place satisfied, listened to and valued. Dr. Ocampian is the real deal GREAT bed side manners, she is knowledgeable, attentive, kind and just an overall amazing practitioner. I've been looking for a female doctor for the longes time and this is it! Thank you so much Dr. Ocampian I will now actually stay on track with my yearly physicals. We need more practitioners like this! read more

Front office staff as well as Dr Avanes are truly there to help you in anyway they can. I had a last minute request from the office and the doctor wasn't in the office and by midday he personally called to explain and make sure what I needed from them was going to be possible . Very thankful for this office. Thank you. read more

First of all our entire family got Covid and as I really was doing so bad ( fever wouldn't go down, body aches coughing non stop etc) our friend recommended this place. Upon arrival we were greeted by the kindest humans who actually gave a "damn" about my condition. They evaluated us right away then according to our situation, they started 2 different IV treatments ( one on me one on my wife) . Treatment took almost 3 hours during which time they kept checking my vitals and making sure I was ok. They're so friendly, so knowledgeable....... Oh forgot to mention how gentle they are with your veins lol ( reason why I mention this is because few days ago we had a "nurse" visit our house who honestly was a butcher by trade most likely. She poked us 2-3 times trying to find a vein, splashing blood everywhere) These guys were so professional, both of us didn't feel anything as they poked us. By the way I started getting better the next day after my treatment. We love this place !!!!! I honestly would give more than 5 stars if Yelp let me. Neighborhood gem to say the least!!! read more

The staff is so accommodating and helpful. Christian and Shawn are especially friendly. I called for an appointment and they were able to schedule me the same within just a few hours! read more

Good luck with these inconsiderate doctors, you basically have to beg to get your prescriptions refilled. Terrible service

Time for my annual check up! Came into see our family Doctor, Dr. Avanes at Harmony Health. Doctor Avanes spends time with his patients and works on getting to the root of issues to keep his patients healthy. The office is super nice with easy parking and the staff is amazing! The Harmony Health MD website is super easy to use, the patient portal allows you to connect with the Dr & his staff. You can view all your appointments and test results through the site. read more

I have truly never seen a more unprofessional staff. Dr Avanes is by far the worst doctor you can see. His incompetence caused my husband to suffer from pancreatitis after multiple times visiting him he did not know what it was. He told us it's his stomach and kept sending us home. His front desk is so rude and unprofessional. The secretary told our results were abmormal which she has no right when she has no medical knowledge just causing people anxiety. It's the nurses job to give results. These good reviews are all family and friends of the doctor and staff. This doctor has no knowledge and always asks other doctors what something may be. Stay far away. He's a MONEY HUNGRY man. read more

I was looking for a new GP after moving to LA from the Bay Area. I am so glad I found Harmony Health. I like that they take a well rounded holistic approach as well as practicing western medicine. Oftentimes, I have experienced in the past, doctors were so quick in prescribing me medications. I understand it is a case by case basis. Instead, they recommended changing my sleeping regimen and other natural ways to help me. On top of that, Dr. Gabrielyan was so kind and took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. Nurse Patricia was exceptional and full of positivity. I highly recommend going to Dr. Gabrielyan. read more

i've been going to Harmony Health for the past 10 years and I couldn't be more happier! Every year for my annual visit we take some goodies for the holidays! I mean why not? show your appreciation with the ones that take care of your health! love them! thank you guys!!! read more

Scheduled an appointment online, because no one answered my phone calls, and 2 weeks later received an email saying that it was canceled.. because new patients not allowed to schedule appointments online. Fix your website and hire more people, so potential clients don't waste time. read more

My experience with Dr. Emil Avanes is the opposite of every doctor's visit in my past experiences. I was seen on time, allowed to ask as many questions as I felt I needed and he had a very patient and comforting bedside manner. I would highly recommend him to friends, family and anybody else who seeks to be treated with dignity and respect. Special thanks to Patrica super helpful and always goes out of her way to put a smile on a patients face. read more

Tried to get an appointment few times as a matter of a fact ! for the last few months left massage as well somehow no one calls back , no one . read more

The last time I've gotten a physical was close to five years ago! I decided it was finally time to re-evaluate and take control of my health. I had also recently started keto so I wanted to make sure I was doing everything safely. My experience at Harmony Health was seamless. It was convenient to set up my appointment online and they confirmed the next day. Check in was easy and the wait time was pretty short. It's amazing how thorough the team is with taking an accurate history and creating a treatment plan for me. Dr. Gabrielyan and his team are amazing! I look forward to my next visit! read more

I've know Dr Avanes for years and like the way he incorporates alternate yet evidence based approach in his practice. In fact he opened this practice so that he would be able to pursue that concept. So if you're looking for that "magic pill" to solve all your needs, then this in not the clinic for you. But if you're open to getting professional medical advise on how to improve your physical condition, your outlook and lifestyle then this clinic is right up your alley. The clinic is newly built on modern minimalistic design. It's very clean and organized and the staff is ultra friendly. The wait times for me have always been minimal and the parking structure under ground is free. He spends plenty of time diagnosing and explaining his findings as well as what his approach to treatment would be. If you're looking for that special primary care physician be sure to give this clinic a try. read more

My husband and I are both patients here and Dr. Gabrielyan is an amazing doctor. He listen to my concerns, is aware of how to deliver information to me, in a way that does not increase my anxiety. He considers my suggestions, and together we come up with a treatment plan that best suites my health needs. He is an amazing physician! read more

The best medical facility, doctors and staff I've been to in my near 70 years. Dr. Avanes is extremely thorough, uses tests so no "guess work" but really wants to find the source of medical issues in order to resolve them the best way possible. Dr. Ocampian is the same. The staff as really friendly. You know you are in good, competent hands. read more

It had been some time since my last visit to the Dr.'s office for any reason, even for just a general check-up. I have a very busy schedule like most others & to me my time is very valuable because I like to get a lot of things done & so forth. I had seen the new buildings being built a few years back where Harmony Health office is currently located & when the building was finally done, I had realized that it was a new Dr.'s & medical building. I had recently called to schedule my appointment & I was told that Harmony Health was my new primary Dr.'s office & Dr. Andreh Carapiet is who I will be making my visits to. Day of my appointment I am already hating life knowing that I am going to have an issue for finding a parking space in the heat from all past experiences I had with the few visits to other doctor's offices, this yet was way different & unbelievably convenient. I pull into the parking structure, YES! PARKING STRUCTURE!! & not only did I find parking within a second, but my car was under a nice shady spot with many others! That was good, they did good!! =) When I walked into the office, I felt that I may have walked into the wrong place, this place did not feel like a boring doctor's office or have that funky doctor office smell (you know what I'm talking about). The way the office was designed made me feel comfortable from the moment I had walked in, felt like I was about to go into a spa, lollll!! I was greeted by the friendly staff in the front & who were incredibly welcoming & did not make me feel any type of discomfort or experience any type of awkward moments. I was enjoying it so much that I didn't realize when I had finished all my paperwork & by the time I knew it my name was already being called to go in. The nurse called me in & did the basic procedures weight, height, etc. which went great as well, but I had not grown an inch in the past 3 years, lolll. I was just stunned by the design of the office, compared to all others. I was taken to the room to wait for the Dr. which is the WORST part, because they take forever to come in & see you which makes you feel like you want to get out of there already! Dr. Andreh Carapiet was very prompt on coming in to see me that it didn't cross my mind to think he may take forever! He did a comprehensive well visit for me & he had a great sense of humor as well & did the best to make me feel comfortable. I had a bunch of questions about different health issues & all my questions/concerns were answered without a rush or hesitation which made me realize that he is really confident in what he answers. Before I was done with my time with Dr. Andreh Carapiet, I was already looking forward to having my next appointment scheduled to be back here again, totally did not expect to experience all these great things at once, but glad I did! Overall experience for my Dr. visit was A++ (100!) I don't need to hope to have an experience like such at all times, because from my first experience I was able to tell that it will always be the same! read more

Dr Avanes is my mom's doctor and we highly recommended him to anyone looking for a progressive Doctor that will listen and make suggestions that combine western with holistic care. He has changed her life and mine since I no longer have to worry about all the medications her previous Doctor's would prescribe. Dr Avanes not only treats the problem but is committed to finding the root of the problem and providing care for complete well being. He is the best MD my mom has ever seen. We consider him a destination MD. Bella- my mom, highly recommends him. read more

It was our first time at Dr. Avanes's office. I wanted a doctor to help & support my elderly mom. I was talking to an amazing lady, Mrs. Alice P. & with high recommendations and superior care. I wish I had taken my mom to Dr. Avanes years ago. Unfortunately we were late & the staff including the Dr. very understanding and patient. Hiarpi was at the reception desk & she was so nice, very professional and supportive. Sela, was very caring and supportive of my mom and her needs. She was patient and understanding, that meant so much to me. Dr. Avanes, was absolutely amazing, caring, professional, sympathetic, understanding, of my mom and her needs. I truly appreciate you Dr. Avanes & your wonderful caring, kind staff. My mom was so happy & pleased, she kept on thanking me for taking her to your office. God Bless read more
