i've never left a review for a doctor before but this was exceptional. i was refereed to another doctor before him, dr. Anderson located in DTLA, it was an absolutely horrible experience, from the wait (2 + hours) to staff disrespect and disregard towards all the patients in the room. and i didn't even get to see the doctor. everyone in the room was extremely frustrated. oh, and parking was like $11. thank god, my pcp found dr. Ayvazian. the wait was great, quite quick. the front office ladies were on point with their work, not wasting time and getting things going. the doctor came into the room right away, was super communicative, clear, and efficient. fixed what the emergency doctor did and did not do, prescribed the right stuff and explained everything. i came back two weeks later, dr. Ayvazian did ultrasound on the spot. quickly moved me to the procedure room and took out the giant splinter sitting in my foot that other not one but two doctors failed to do. so smooth and so quick. everything was clean and every person and my nurse were very helpful. for the first time in the united states of america i was truly impressed and satisfied with my doctor's visit. for the first time it felt like the doctor actually cared, and not there to keep draining my pockets. plus, free street parking, just check the signs for street cleaning:) thank you so much dr. Ayvazian! wishing you good health to keep the good work and continue being a real example of a doctor who took the hippocratic oath! read more

My dad visited their office and the front office was so disrespectful he walked out before seeing the doctor. Your front facing staff need more training and an an attitude adjustment. read more

Was given an appointment. The staff called me days before the appointment and said they had a cancellation come in now. I explained that I could not. I am glad I called before the appointment they gave me because they deleted my appointment because I said I could not come in the same day they called me! They then called me today and said I had an appointment for Friday. I explained that the receptionist gave me an appointment for the end of August 2025. I called my healthcare plan and got a different doctor! Those women who handle appointments are CRAZY! They are very rude and unprofessional! I live also two hours from their office!!!! I have never had problems scheduling doctors appointments before! ‍ read more

not only is Dr. Ayvazian THE BEAST podiatrist I've ever encountered but Lorena is a master at understanding and relieving pain. Thanks Lorena, for being so lovely, friendly, kind and so very knowledgable! read more

Dr. Ayvazian is a kind and skilled doctor. He is very thorough. I highly recommend him.

rude workers he has to many patients cant be able to relax and get the answeres i need

I am writing this review on behalf of my husband, Serezh. He had 10:30 AM appointment and after waiting two hours he went to the front desk and asked staff (Mariette?) how much longer he had to wait. He was told by the staff member that if he didn't want to wait, "there's the door" and he could leave. He waited a bit longer and was finally taken in at 12:45 PM--2 hours & 15 minutes after his appointment time. This was not the first time this happened. The doctor himself is very nice, but his staff is incredibly rude, disrespectful, and treat people like crap. Especially for my husband who is 82 years old. read more

Amazing Dr. After a long , not much of a successful but super expensive and very painful treatment at University Foot & Ankle Institute , I needed a second opinion. I asked Dr Ajvazian about my problem. His immediate response was absolute clear, after a quick exam, he suggested a surgery as my only option. Despite of covid pandemic, I got quickly approved by insurance - thanks for his crue- and he preformed difficult operation. It is not just I went under an effective surgery, but treated well an absolute professional way . I experienced a kind positive, honest care by him. Im truly pleased , and recommend dr Ajvazian for everyone. read more

Dr Ayvaziqn is actually an amazing doctor. He took amazing care of my mother helping an open wound on her foot heal. He is very knowledgeable and knows what's he is doing. I would highly recommend DR Ayvazian to anyone. He is the best! read more

Very Professional Doctor and he deserve my respect and Confidence! My 10-year-old niece was seen on an emergency basis by Dr. Hermoz in the middle of Sunday, he detailed the treatment to be done and also made follow-ups and the other time I had a car accident and looked for him at the office. The two times I needed him I feel very grateful and he explained to the treatment very well, I recommend him as an excellent professional. read more

DO NOT TRUST THIS P.O.S!!! He operated on my foot after a motorcycle accident. Three appointments a week for 3 months & never even cared about checking my x-rays properly. My insurance then told me I had to change to a podiatrist in my network & he literally asked "why are you walking on this!?" (I was in a boot by then). I then had to have another surgeon literally saw my foot in half to realign everything properly cause this dipshit didn't even care to look at the healing alignment. This turned a recovery that could have easily been 2-3 months into like 10 months total, couldn't get back to work for about a year. Changed my life because he just doesn't give a f***! Please go anywhere but to this a**hole. Also the staff was so bitter & unfriendly. Not even worth a visit, don't trust this idiot. read more

Amazing doctor. New exactly what he was talking about and really helped me. My situation was a bit different because i am a Brazilian soccer player and i need my foot for my work, and have been to other doctors that didn't really help at all, but doctor Hermoz was on point in everything that he did. I strongly recommend him. read more

See all

Worst doctor ever avoid him at all costs. I would rather drive 200 miles to see a good doctor then go somewhere close to mess up your entire foot and walking skills for life. read more

Dr. Ayvazian is a great doctor!!! He doesn't talk much but he is quite multi lingual - speaks in Armenian, English, and Spanish, that I know of, and might know more languages. And his work is PHENOMENAL! I had a busted Achilles tendon, but my previous doctor, a horrific doctor, told me I didn't need surgery and it would heal by itself, though my tendon was so busted, there was a huge hole/depression in my leg where the tendon used to be. There was no way it was going to heal itself. But I trusted him and hobbled around for three months hoping it would get better. I got an MRI again and found the hole was still as big three months later. And I still couldn't stand on it; my leg would give way like jelly. And that doctor, a Dr. Wong, had even told me I didn't have to come again (!!!) But thank God for Dr. Ayvazian! I met a lady who told me about Dr. Ayvazian, who said he would tell me the truth and do what was needed. Also he takes all kinds of insurance, even low income insurance. I went and have been so thankful. He couldn't believe anyone would tell me I didn't need surgery. So surgery was scheduled and it went great. His work is precise and amazing. The surgery was done so well, the scar has almost disappeared and my foot has regained most of its mobility after several months. Even though I was told my ankle would never be as flexible again. I have every confidence now that I will be back to normal and as flexible as before and be doing all my sports I used to do. And I have Dr. Ayvazian to thank for it. (I am also getting physical therapy elsewhere to help it along). I just wish I would have found him sooner, so that my rehab would have taken 3 or 4 months instead of the 7-8 months it's taken because of the initial doctor's advice which delayed my surgery by several months. Very glad for Dr. Ayvazian's work. He has saved my tendon and my sports ability. Best podiatrist and podiatry surgeon ever. He also gave me some kind of stem cell implant that really helped it heal. read more

Dr Ayvazian is super professional and very nice . I went there for ingrown toenail, the Doctor explained to me the procedure very clearly and he took care of it . No pain at all ! The result is amazing and I would definitely recommend this clinic ! read more

Again a 4 only because of the dr PLEASE CHANGE YOUR STAFF . They are god awful . I can't even make an appointment without someone on the other line giving major attitude . It is sick !!!! I have pain, I am a client/patient, how the hell if the person on the other line act like it is so hard to do their job. Honestly disgusted with the service . I was speaking to a young woman who apparently finds it difficult to schedule people. You have to rly push my buttons to get me to come on yelp and drop my review read more

If i could give this doctor 0 stars i would! I was given a referral to go to this office 3 years ago. When i walked in and gave my referral paper the first thing the front desk women did was ask me to leave and come back with a up to date referral, being very rude. Instead of asking to call my doctor office to extend the referral date she just told me to go away. The one i had was apparently expired but the appt they had given me was past the date and said it was fine before coming in. I went back after a month later. When i spoke to the doctor he seemed ok at first but i felt like i was so sure but went ahead with the surgery. Before the surgery time, i had a situation with the old women with short brown or black hair with big old glasses. I wanted to just scream at her but held it in. The doctor told me he was going to remove a small bunion bone from my pinky toe. I was told if i wanted a metal to be replace on the bone but i said no. I had a second option before the surgery that to not agree to the metal replacement. The doctor went against my wishes and replaced the bone with a small metal. I was in a lot of pain and all he gave me was just medication after medication. I cried every night because the medication was not helping. When i called the office the front desk lady rudely told me to suck it up and deal with the pain. I couldnt walk because he made the cast round underneath, so i would always slip and fall off the churches. When i went in to have the cast removed. Instead of cutting it up, he simply without warning took it off my foot how u remove a damn shoe from a very tight shoe lace knot. I cried in pain after. He simply did not care after. He had purposely put a metal replacement in order to get money off my insurance, as my second option doctor told me about. I couldnt walk for months and ended up being in a wheel chair because the pain was too much to handle. I ADVISE ANYONE TO GO TO ANY OTHER DOCTOR BUT THIS ONE. I regret ever going to him. The experience with the front desk lady and the doctor has made me have trust issues with other doctors. read more

I am very great full for finding Dr Ayvazian who helped me with my painful toes. I was embarrassed for years but after the surgery not only I felt better but over time it looked great. Now I'm able to wear my open toe shoes and my high heel shoes comfortably and with confidence the surgery was very well explained and I was not forced to make any decisions without enough information. He was great at what he did but also very compassionate. Anyone who I have referred to has been pleased. Even the physical therapy lady Alice was great. I even recommended a friend who was having complications from his foot surgery by another podiatrist. He took his time explaining everything to my friend, his options. He went through all his Xrays and MRIs and CT scans in details, I'm glad that I didn't react or believe some of those negative reviews about the doctor. He really knows his stuff. read more

Hermoz Ayvazian, DPM - Surgery hammer toe repair - Podiatrists Near Me - Glendale, California

The most incompetent doctor's office, in Southern California. The staff are rude, and ignorant. Claiming that I did not provide a phone number when I scheduled my appointment, weeks ago, and that the doctor was not in the office. I did in fact provide the number. THE RUDE receptionist, insisted I did not. I asked if it was their policy to take a new patient's phone number, she said, it was. Then I said, "well then I have it to you." Again, she insisted I didn't, which means they didn't do their job correctly, because she claimed I didn't give them the number. I have been making appointments for years, why would I refuse to give them my phone number. They are horrible, irresponsible, an beyond unprofessional. Why is the doctor not showing up either. Terrible! read more

We love Dr. Ayvazian! My wife went to Glendale Adventist hospital because of a circulation issue in her leg. She received a bypass surgery but was told that she might lose part of her foot. Dr. Ayvazian said, no, he felt he could save my foot. And he did! The process took several months and many visits but Dr. Ayvazian was always prompt and attentive to my needs and walked me through this difficult time. I recommend him highly. read more

I never got to see Dr. Ayvazian due to his staff being so horrible!!!! They are all very rude. My first visit I was not even seen because they were more than 2 hours behind. By the time I got to see an Dr. on my second visit they had lost my chart with my x-rays. Women Dr. was nice, but with all the messages I left for other visit I just couldn't take it anymore and had to find a new podiatrists. The women in the front office don't like to do their job. I had to call my own insurance company in order to get a referral done. The lady that handles the referrals told me I should be the one to call and push them to get it that she couldn't be the one to check on every patient in the office. REALLY!!! I was told to get an MRI, I told them they had already had the MRI to later find out that the Dr. asked to get an MRI done on the other foot. They NEVER explained that to me. If you need to see a podiatrists GO to another PROFESSIONAL! read more

I'd highly suggest reading over the one-star reviews; it's what I did and felt very skeptic coming here. And while I'll say that I have never met Dr. Avyazian, the staff is atrocious. The women are extremely rude and flagrantly uppity. I spent almost an hour trying to find the place with their misguided direction only to be yelled at and told be on hold while she tends to another customer. By the time I finally arrived, they were fighting among themselves in the back while the lady grew snippy with me when I asked her questions about my insurance. I literally wasted about two hours driving, being misguided, and waiting here ONLY to be told that they don't take my insurance. They discontinued it but they haven't updated their lists for the other doctors? I'm uncertain as to how that works exactly but this was unprofessional at its best. If you want the best for your health, please go find a place where they actually care about your health and well being. read more

Dr. Ayvazian is definitely a master of his craft. I have never had a surgery with no need for a painkiller medication...and any other for the matter of the fact. His concentration on the medical condition was evident to me the moment I met him, as opposed to rhetoric most doctors display upon meeting new patients. I was surprised by his care for my feet, almost as if I were at the pedicure salon. Ten days after surgery, I am moving around my apartment without crutches,.. although not advised. I had few surgeries in my life, but this one feels as it never happened. Also, the administration of the office arranged everything seamlessly and the hospital care was superior. All over, the experience I had was absolutely marvelous and unexpected. I only wish, there are more doctors like Dr. Ayvazian ! read more

Dr. Ayvazian is an amazing doctor and takes the time to listen to the presenting issues and concerns you might have. Dr. Ayvazian s treatments have helped me to continue being ulcer free no wounds and no pain in my feet. As a diabetic we face a lot of complications but leave it to Dr. Ayvazian to treat the presenting issues. Please don't wait another day go see him and is lovely staff, they take care of you like family. read more

Dr. Ayvazian is very responsive. He performed foot surgery on my mother after a bad fall. From all of the many injuries she sustained, her foot gave her the least amount of concern and pain thanks to the doctor. Three years later we had to revisit the doctor and he is as responsive, kind and personable as we remember from our first interaction. He comforted my mother and continued to distract her from her fear as he performed his care to her foot. A success - yet again. The office is new, clean, and an ample size office. The staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. Thank you Dr. Ayvazian ! We wish you continued success ! read more

Dr. Ayvazian was very convenient to my needs and requests. My appointment given was accommodated as promised and I did not have to sit and wait for hours for my time to come up like most doctor visits. Dr. Ayvazian was very thorough about my condition and what I needed to fix my issue on hand. He also recommended a few things that I did had no idea about. I'm thankful for his knowledge, patience and professionalism. The staff was great! The girls in the front were very friendly and courteous. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ayvazian to my friends or family. read more

Horrible front desk. Answers and says Hold and puts you on a 15 minute hold then hangs up. This happened 3 times to me today between 215 and 3pm. They don't even say the Dr's name. If the front desk is that awful, forget it read more

Today was my 2nd visit to this office and totally different from the first. The doctor is very nice and friendly but his staff on the other hand need some training in customer service and how you talk to a patient. Front staff girl calls me up after waiting 45 minutes and says we have no authorization to see you? My response was why did you not tell me that when the appt was made? And they even called a day before to confirm the appt. The girl had a stupid look on her face and could not answer the question. She goes and gets this rude B**** named Ziba who comes out with an attitude saying it is not their responsibility to get an authorization and I should have known that before coming there. First of all I don't know your office procedures and you should have explained that a month ago when the appt was made. She pointed her finger and said this is the thing..........At that point I turned around and walked out because she was close to being asked to step outside. She was RUDEST at it's finest. These office people are rude as hell and have lost a patient as well as I will be filing a compliant with my insurance on the treatment I received as a patient that knew nothing about their office procedures. I'm done with you stupid a** people!!!!!!! Suggestion to you for future patients: Why not verify insurance info while appt is being requested that way if anything is needed prior to the appt then patient or staff have sufficient time to get all that's needed. read more

One of the most caring Doctor I've ever met! He is very knowledgeable about his work, took excellent care of my daughter. The facility is very clean and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for an appointment I had at a certain time. I had got there 10 minutes before my appointment. I waited 30 minutes and still.... no mention of my name. I got beyond annoyed and spoke to the front desk woman. I told her my appointment was 30 minutes ago. She tells me "there are 4 people ahead of you" then I tell her so what? I have an appointment at this time... she gives me attitude and tells me "this is how this place works". Ok so if you are a new patient coming to this place, avoid it. Appointments are useless and that dumb bitch who is the front desk lady needs to get fired asap. Who ever put my appointment down, whether it was her or not needs to PAY ATTENTION. I ended up leaving without even seeing the doctor... then she has the nerve to ask me "would you like to set another appointment?"... yea, mock your patients. Dumb ass bitch. I hope you read this review some day. Retarded woman. You don't deserve the job you have. Give it to someone else who isn't a bitch. Also, looking at other peoples reviews seems like the doctor sucks ass anyway. I'll never return, I feel bad for the local patients. read more

Dr. Ayvazian is an amazing doctor. I have been going to him for years now and he is always very attentive and meticulous about his patient care. I remember I used to feel that the front office staff could be a lot better, and after reading the reviews on here I realized I was not the only one. I had not gone to him for several months and when I went back this past month I was happy to find that the front office staff is completely new. The girls in the front now are extremely respectful and more professional with regard to the patients. All in all, Dr. Ayvazian himself is a great doctor and when I had a really bad issue with my feet several years back after going to a couple other podiatrists, I found that Dr. Ayvazian was the most knowledgeable and helpful. read more

The worst staff ever! They made my grandma wait for 2 hours today. They don't know what they are doing there. Why do you give appointments if you are going to make people wait? And then you ask them why they are making people wait for so long and they give you attitude and YELL at you. Who do these people think they are? Don't give an appointment if you're not going to take her at that time. She's an old lady. Have some respect and don't talk to patients that way nor treat them rudely. I'm not the only person who says that their staff is rude. Do yourself a favor and find another podiatrist that is worthy of your money. This one sucks hiring people like this. read more

Dr. Ayvazian is the man. Very talented and professional. Unfortunately most of his front office staff are not that great.

I never got a chance to meet Dr. Ayvazian because of his staff. Service is horrible I have never met such careless women in my life. My child came home from school with infected and swollen toes. I took her to see Dr. Ayvazian but the staff refused to help us saying " it is late we are humans we want to go home earliest appointment is in 2 months" Humans? Really? My daughter is in pain now and I don't know what to do my insurance gave an authorization to see Dr. Ayvazian I can't take her to another doctor and I can't wait for 2 months. read more

ANYONE THINKING OF DOING A SURGERY,PLEASE READ THIS. If I could give a zero I would. I'll never step foot in his office ever again. Had a surgery in 2015 and still suffering from his unprofessional work. Some of the staff are very rude and barely know English. Wait times are very long. He told me I would be back on my feet within 2 months of the surgery. Took around 5 months to get back on my feet. Two months into my surgery I got an infection. He gave me strong medications which did not help. I ended up going to emergency room to find out that there was an infection in my foot. Before any of the surgeries, he said it would only take one to fix the issue. After all the surgeries and medications, he said that I would need another surgery. Also the "physical therapy" is very unprofessional and doesn't know what she is doing. I don't think she has a license to work. Had to go to some other physical therapist since he couldn't send me to one. Til this day I'm suffering from this surgery. Not sure how he still has patients. Everyone should know that he doesn't care about your health, he ruined part of my life. GO see another surgeon. It doesn't hurt to see second, third opinions. What will hurt is if you choose him to do any type of surgery on you. All the second, third opinions I went to said that he basically "screwed up your foot". Hope this helps you or any of your family members. Do NOT go to this surgeon! read more

I was referred by my internist to Dr. Ayvazian at the Glendale Foot & Ankle Podiatry Center in Glendale. I arrived at 3:40 PM for my 4:00 PM appointment (thinking I would have paperwork to complete). I had paperwork to complete, but it was 5:45 when I finally saw the doctor. Our visit lasted approximately 8 minutes - long enough for him to tape my foot and ask me questions about my medications, allergies and physical condition, all of which were addressed in the two-page typewritten data sheet I handed to his staff which he did not read until I reminded him of it three times. He's a very busy and nice doctor, and I respect that - but, when I scheduled my next visit, I asked whether a two-hour wait was typical, and was told "yes." The doctor is very personable and courteous, but a two-hour wait is a scheduling nightmare that is very discourteous and disrespectful to patients. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Ayvazian for 23 years for my ankles and yes sometimes the wait is a little long but I started making my appointments early Saturday morning and I don't have to wait too long. The wait is definitely worth the visit. The doctor is very knowledgeable and thorough. He performed surgery on my ankles 23 years ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. I would highly recommend Dr Ayvazian. read more
