Very impressed with the office and staff. Everyone was helpful and friendly. I've been an RN for 47 years and after speaking with Dr. Balikian, I have complete confidence in his skills. He was very nice and went into great detail about the entire procedure.
Could have had better pictures to show what nose would look like with the rhinoplasty.
Dr Balikian was very thorough, kind and so appreciate his expert honest evaluation...only wish it wasn’t so much! Erin very professional and so helpful trying to get me scheduled. Also love that several of the staff members have undergone some surgeries and they ALL look amazing. Would highly recommend tDr. Balikian and his Team.
