It's rare to find a doctor who talks to you like you're an intelligent human being capable of understanding your own health issues; Dr. Harutunian did this and more, listening closely and giving me a few options after explaining his theories about my frequent migraines. It was a refreshing experience in a seeming never-ending parade of healthcare B.S. and bureaucracy.

Hands down one of the best doctors that I have ever seen. Actually cares about fixing the problem not just running your insurance through system and talking to you for 5 seconds like most of the doctor's in this city. Highly recommend this neurologist

One of the best neurologists I've been to. Extremely thorough and caring. He gave me different options for treatment of my frequent migraines - many of which I didn't know or for which I hadn't been explained before. Best of all, unlike other doctor's visits, he spent 30 minutes with me. Excellent doctor - I will definitely be making a permanent switch.
Dr. Harutunian may be the most caring physician I have met, I was referred to for my sleep disorder and he was so incredibly patient, inquisitive and thorough with diagnosing my issues. He performed the careof tests which allowed me to immediately arrive at the root of my problem, and treat my issue in the care of manner. I had been suffering for close to a year and frequented many physicians but was unable to receive the same caliber & help that I received from Dr. Harutunian. He is board certified and has completed fellowships which I believe is why he was able to quickly diagnose.
For as long as I can remember, I have suffered from migraines. I have been to a lot of doctors, but never really found appropriate answers. Before visiting Dr. Harutunian, I was under the impression that I need to treat my headaches only when they occur. Boy I was wrong. He stressed the importance of prophylactically treating my headaches so that they never arisen in the first place. My headache frequency has significantly decreased from 2-3 per week to 1-2 per month. Thank you Dr. Harutunian for treating my headaches and really improving my quality of life.
Dr. Harutunian is a well trained young doctor who is very caring and knowledgeable. He helped control the epilepsy outbreaks I was having and I have seen great improvement. He took time with me to really understand the problem. He is a recent graduate from USC with 2 board certifications and is knowledgeable in the field of neurology. I would highly recommend him.
For the longest time, I have been plagued by a nonspecific numbness in my right foot. I visited a few doctors for my problem but did not get a clear answer as to what the root of my problems was until I saw Dr. Harutunian. He was able to figure that my problem was secondary to a nerve being compressed under a tendon. at least now I know what the problem is and I can move towards fixing it. thank you Dr. Harutunian.
