He helped me with colostomy reversal, and very complicated operations that other doctors turned me down. This doctor was the only one who gave me hope that Isidra would have the operation.

"I highly recommend Dr. Artinyan. It has been a blessing to be Dr. Artinyan's patient. He has performed multiple laparoscopic surgeries on me due to stomach cancer, and every surgery has been successful with no major issues.

"I recently underwent a colostomy reversal performed by Dr. Artinyan, and I must say, it was an experience beyond expectations. Initially considering another surgeon, I sought a second opinion, which led me to Dr. Artinyan, and thank God for my wife finding him. From the moment I stepped into his office, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Artinian's dedication to his patients is evident from the outset. He took the time to thoroughly address every question and concern I had, and even shed light on issues I hadn't considered. His approach is refreshingly no-nonsense; he tells it like it is, instilling confidence and trust in his patients. Every interaction with Dr. Artinian was a pleasure. He exudes genuine care and empathy, traits that are increasingly rare to find in the medical profession. His bedside manner is exemplary; he patiently explained every aspect of the procedure and post-operative care, ensuring I felt informed and reassured every step of the way. The surgery itself was a testament to Dr. Artinyan's expertise. It proceeded exactly as he had explained, and the aftercare was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout the recovery process, Dr. Artinyan remained accessible and accommodating, never showing any sign of impatience with my numerous questions. His thorough explanations and unwavering support made what could have been a daunting experience surprisingly manageable. In summary, Dr. Artinyan is more than just a skilled surgeon; he is a compassionate caregiver who goes above and beyond for his patients. I am deeply grateful for his outstanding care and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone."

I live by myself without much local family support. I was worried about a lengthy recovery. A lot of people told me that I wouldn't be able to get my cancer procedure done with laposcopy surgery but Dr. Artinyan was able to do it. He did an excellent job which led to a minimal recovery period. He has a excellent attitude and I highly recommend him. His surgery basically saved my life. Don't be afraid.

"Where to begin!!! I’ve been blessed. Dr Artinyan’s office sits as my favorite office to go to. Why? Well, as a cancer patient you have a team of Doctors that work together. And I can tell you that although my other Doctors are phenomenal as well, nothing compares to the compassion and attentiveness shown at his office. He takes the time to explain procedures and answers the questions you may have. As a cancer patient, this is what you want. Someone to validate you as a person and not as another cancer patient. That says a lot of him as a person. When it comes to surgery, all the doctors that have seen me post-op are impressed by his work. Tissue manipulation is top notch. Truly an amazing surgeon! His office staff, Josie and Victoria, are amazing as well! They are compassionate and kind and on top of their work. They get stuff done for their patients and get back to you with all the information you need. They handle all the behind the scenes for Dr Artinyan and his patients which makes everything go seamlessly. Wonderful women, wonderful office, wonderful Doctor."

"Dr. Artinyan is a very compassionate and knowledgeable surgeon who operated on my father. His expertise, excellent bedside manner and compassionate care were outstanding. My dad did not have cancer surgery but I know that Dr. Artinyan is also an expert in oncologic surgery and has a lot of experience operating on complicated cases. This gave me reassurance that he knows how to handle very complicated sick patients. I knew my father is in very skilled hands. Thank you Dr. Artinyan!!!!"

"Where to begin!!! I’ve been blessed. Dr Artinyan’s office sits as my favorite office to go to. Why? Well, as a cancer patient you have a team of Doctors that work together. And I can tell you that although my other Doctors are phenomenal as well, nothing compares to the compassion and attentiveness shown at his office. He takes the time to explain procedures and answers the questions you may have. As a cancer patient, this is what you want. Someone to validate you as a person and not as another cancer patient. That says a lot of him as a person. When it comes to surgery, all the doctors that have seen me post-op are impressed by his work. Tissue manipulation is top notch. Truly an amazing surgeon!His office staff, Josie and Victoria, are amazing as well! They are compassionate and kind and on top of their work. They get stuff done for their patients and get back to you with all the information you need. They handle all the behind the scenes for Dr Artinyan and his patients which makes everything go seamlessly. Wonderful women, wonderful office, wonderful Doctor."

"Dr. Artinyan is a really terrific doctor. He addressed all my concerns before, during, and after surgery. This was my first major surgery and I was extremely upset. I live by myself without much local family support. I was worried about a lengthy recovery. A lot of people told me that I wouldn't be able to get my cancer procedure done with laposcopy surgery but Dr. Artinyan was able to do it. He did an excellent job which led to a minimal recovery period. He has a excellent attitude and I highly recommend him. His surgery basically saved my life. Don't be afraid. You are in competent hands with a man who really takes pride in his work. Great job."

"We the family of Mr. Alberto Miraballes is very grateful to Doctor Avo Artinyan for the success of his surgery for colon cancer. My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer last May 21, 2021. He was supposed to have his surgery last July but unfortunately it was postponed because they found out that his cancer was located at his rectum, so the colon surgeon that we had for my husband referred us to Dr. Avo Artinyan who is a colorectal surgeon. Dr. Artinyan did a magnificent job which resulted in the success of the surgery, last Aug 16, 2021. He gave us more confidence and comfort not only to my husband but to all of his family members. Thank you so much to Dr. Artinyan for the success of the surgery. The fact that Alberto does not have a colostomy bag is a big relief to us. Thank you again Dr. Artinyan, with your great knowledge in your field, many people will be saved."

"Dr. Artinyan is an Angel disguised in a Doctor's body. He gave my family hope, when we were in despair. Besides the fact that he is a super talented doctor with a long list of accolades, he is extremely caring, calm, patient and responsive. He always personally called us back if we had a question for him. He drew several diagrams to illustrate what he would be doing and to answer our questions (even if we asked the same question multiple times). Lastly, his humility deserves every praise. Luckily for us my Father lived. However, I would write a very similar review if the outcome was different. May we never have to visit him under these circumstances, but if we do I will know we are in impeccable hands!!"

"I can't say enough about Dr. Artinyan and his staff. From the first phone call I felt that there was genuine concern for my well-being. And there was. Dr. Artinyan was serious, professional, and informative, without being at all cold. I feel very fortunate to have been referred to this office for my skin cancer surgery. The surgery site is healing beautifully. It looks like a plastic surgeon did it. The Dr. is the consummate professional. Many thanks to he, his staff, and the nurses at Glendale Adventist Hospital. Six stars."

"Dr. Artinyan is not just a doctor but a hero for our family. Feeling helpless and lost after my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, we visited Dr. Artinyan. While remaining honest and candid, he answered all of our questions patiently and gave us hope. He described the procedure my dad needed in detail. Other doctors have made us feel uncomfortable to stay more than a few minutes or to ask them question. Dr. Artinyan was different. We knew he was the right surgeon. On the day of the surgery, he was there early to see our family and make us feel comfortable. He performed the surgery successfully and removed my dad’s tumor. After the surgery, Dr. Artinyan personally reached out to us to check on my dad and his progress. He even reached out to his network of professionals to get their input on my dad’s treatment. We were so touched by his gestures. He is someone who truly cares about his patients and their families. Besides being a one of a kind doctor with experience and knowledge, Dr. Artinyan is an incredible human being who has been here for my family during the most difficult times of our lives. My dad’s mood is immediately lifted when he visits Dr. Artinyan. Not only does he counsel us with his medical advice but also with his amazing bedside manners and social skills. God bless you Dr. Artinyan. You are the best at what you do and are always referred to as a hero by our family members!"

"DR. AVO ARTINYAN performed a surgical procedure that I had done once before with a different doctor. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. ARTINYAN. The difference was like night and day. His procedure was not as paiful as the 1st time I had my surgery. I am very PLEASED with the results and my recovery. It's still paiful but not like the my 1st surgery. Dr. Artinyan thank you very much for everything."

"Dr. Artinyan was my savior during my stay at TCH after complications with my C section required observation, testing and further surgery. His patience, understanding, compassion, experience and incredible skill did not go unnoticed. He was the kindest staff member who cared for me- more compassionate that my nurses or primary physician. Dr. Artinyan jumped in and did the "dirty work" without batting an eyelash when my nurses were not able to. My husband and I could not appreciate him more. "

"Dr Avo Artinyan is, to put it simply, a life saver. His surgical skills, follow-up care, concern and compassion, and his general "bedside manners" are nothing short of outstanding. His knowledge of the field of cancer surgery and the associated adjuvant and neoadjuvant approaches to therapy are second to none. Having such an eminent surgeon available on phone and e-mail, is a blessing and a privilege, My regret is that we are losing him from Baylor and Houston. He is indeed a coveted prize."

"Terrific, confident surgeon with a pleasant, lowkey manner, who is helping developing pioneering surgical techniques using robotics to remove the most difficult of polyps without jeopardizing the functionality of patients. If I moved out of the area and ever had to go through something like this again, I would actually consider traveling across the country to be treated by him, I have that much faith in him."
