Dr. Raffi Tachdjian, MD

I would give a million stars if I could. This Doctor cares and is ( in my opinion) the best in his field. He changed my son's life for the better. He also changed mine. My only complaint is not finding him sooner. His staff is also wonderful.

My children and I have been Dr. Tachdjian’s patients for years. He’s an exceptional physician who is very knowledgeable and experienced in his field, as well as a warm and wonderful person who is able to connect with both adults and children. He has successfully treated our allergies with immunotherapy and treated my neck and shoulder knots and headaches with trigger point injections (TPI), which provide immediate pain relief! He has my deepest respect and gratitude for all of the excellent care he’s provided to my family over the years.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tachdjian for 4 years. For most of my life I have been suffering from environmental and food allergies, but I had no idea. Dr. Tachdjian tested me for all my allergies and that was my first step to recovery! I frequently go to his office (2 - 3 times/week) for my allergy shots. It's very convenient because I can stop in anytime between 8am and 5pm to get a shot and it takes less than 10 minutes. The shots make a world of difference for me and greatly reduce my asthmatic symptoms. I find that when I'm getting shots regularly I can exercise more consistently without getting winded as quickly. Dr. Tachdjian makes himself very available to all his patients. He is genuinely concerned about his patients' well-being and would rather find alternative pro-active solutions to an illness/allergy symptoms than resorting to antibiotics and steroids. I have recommended Dr. Tachdjian to 3 people so far and after seeing him, they have all given me superbly positive feedback. If you are suffering from allergies, asthma, respiratory problems, etc., I highly suggest booking an appointment and having a great experience for yourself.

My family has been seeing Dr. Tachdjian for 10+ years and he’s honestly one of my favorite doctors. My brother sees him for allergies and I see him for my Hereditary Angioedema management. He’s very friendly, knowledgeable, and comforting. He goes above and beyond for his patients, and even takes time to check in on me when he knows I’ve had a bad HAE attack (or if he hasn’t heard from me in a while). He’s contacted my local hospital (when I was out of town, visiting my mom) to educate them on what was going on and help coordinate treatment when I started having a really bad throat swell and even got me in touch with another HAE doctor in the area in case I had another attack while I was there. He always making sure my prescriptions are up to date and that I have enough meds, and when I do need a new RX, he handles it right away. I have nothing but great things to say about him and would definitely recommend him to anyone in SoCal with HAE.

I have bad allergies and went to Dr Tachdjian to request shots . I had had them many years ago so I knew what I needed . I called my insurance to make sure I was covered and Dr Tachdijian was in network . Upon booking my appointment I was told that they requested $200 up front . A little unusual given I had met my deductible but i went with it . I met Dr Tachdjian for the initial consultation . Upon my next visit the receptionist handed me a form requesting $500 up front for allergy shots . She said the compound cost them $1600 to make . I explained that my insurance covered 90% the cost and that would be $160 and asked what the extra cost was . They said it was office policy . I called a couple of other allergists at UCLA and Cedars and both said that this was unheard of. It felt more like a car dealership move than a doctor . I canceled my appointment and saved myself $500 and hoping I get the $200 back .
