a month agoCame here for a year . The doctor only saw me maybe 3 times ! Was just given shots by medical assistants - not even a nurse . Got a bill for over 1,700 dollars even tho I have good insurance . Finally got an itemized bill from them . They told Medicare that I was in there for 5 straight days and charged Medicare 559 dollars times 5 days . They also billed Medicare 271 dollars about once a month for office consultations with the doctor . Those did not happen . Dr T also told me I had to pay 500 dollars out of my pocket when I first started seeing him . Then they wanted me to pay the 20 percent co pay for ALL those Fraudulent charges . Iโm sorry , I just think itโs terrible to do Medicare fraud !! And , to also give me fraudulent charges ! The shots were not very effective , I had shots done at another clinic a few years ago and they did all the immune system testing , etc , I was pretty much cured of allergies . Now , I have to start all over with another allergist . This guy let me suffer . I recently told them about all this and asked them to give me my fraudulently charged 500 bucks back . They said they used that to mix the serums . Come on , I may be 62 years old but I KNOW that insurance pays for the serums . ! I am going to a new allergist , hope I get better b/c now my alllergies are out of control. ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ

6 months agoI 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.

3 months agoDr. T changed my life! I used to be in hospital about once a year. Dr. T listened to me and did the necessary tests to discover my problem. I havenโt been hospitalized since seeing Dr. T.

2 years agoI 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 .

5 years agoMy children and I have been Dr. Tachdjianโs patients for years. Heโs 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 heโs provided to my family over the years.
