From labral tears and impingement to hip dysplasia and PAO (periacetabular osteotomy), he’s one of the few surgeons nationally focused on treating pre-arthritis conditions with precision and long-term stability in mind. Patients consistently describe Dr. Garabekyan as patient, highly knowledgeable, and deeply reassuring—someone who listens closely and explains everything in a way that makes sense. His surgeries are often described as life-changing, and he’s known for delivering excellent results with minimal complications, particularly for active individuals who want to avoid hip replacement for as long as possible. He’s a steady hand in the OR and a calm, detail-oriented presence in clinic. Outside of work, you’ll find him enjoying scenic drives with his wife, playing chess, or relaxing with his two poodles.

My husband and I moved from Idaho for me to get treatment with Dr. G for my bilateral hip dysplasia and labral tears (scope + PAO), and we are certain that we could not have picked a better surgeon. He has completely redefined my outlook on healthcare; I never knew doctors could be this patient, involved, compassionate, and genuine. He is clearly an expert in his field and has been meticulous at every step of my care from pre- to post-surgery, always taking the time to explain, answer questions, and go the extra mile to ensure I feel listened to and supported. I have never once felt rushed or overlooked by Dr. G, and I know my family would wholeheartedly say the same. Surgery can be really scary to consider, but Dr. G will absolutely do his due diligence and more to make you feel supported and confident throughout the recovery journey. Despite being less than 3 weeks post-RPAO and 4 weeks post-arthroscopy, I am already so ecstatic about my progress and I can’t thank Dr. G enough for giving me a new lease on life towards a healthier and pain-free future. > > I also want to give my kudos to Schevonne, who is Dr. G’s right hand and assistant. She is so kind, responsive, and is incredible at staying on top of everything. She made all the technical and clerical parts of getting ready for surgery a breeze for me, and it made things so much less stressful, especially when dealing with insurance and needing to temporarily put life on pause. Schevonne’s absolutely been the cherry on top for my experience with Dr. G and Commons Clinic, and I really appreciate how invested she’s been in my ongoing care. D.

He was very thorough in his evaluation of my daughter. She is a dancer and with his experience he was able to reassure her regarding her concerns of returning to dance at a high level after the repair of her labrum and PAO. We are looking forward to having him as her surgeon. T.

She found Dr. Garabekyan online and came to her dad and I (both physicians in Indiana) and asked if we could talk to him. At the time, I thought of the idea of going all the way to California to have the surgery was a long shot. I reached out to Zohra, who put us in contact with Dr. Garabekyan. He took the time to meet with my husband and I over the phone and answered all of our questions and concerns. He had a second meeting with our daughter to address all of her questions. We read his research and papers published on the CU-PAO and were convinced that he was who we wanted to do her surgery. With the way Dr. Garabekyan talks to his patients about the mechanics of the hip, we were assured that this is his passion and he is very skilled at what he does. Our daughter had a hip scope in late June of 2020 and her PAO a week later. Her recovery has been amazing and working with Dr. G was our best decision. We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Garabekyan, Zohra, and his staff. G.

We have been extremely pleased with Dr. Garabekyan as he has been amazing. His bedside manner is over the top, his communication with my daughters sports medicine team has been top notch, thorough and very timely. His nurse Zohra is also amazing and takes care of everything quickly and efficiently. My daughters outcome has been great. We would highly recommend Dr. Garabekyan and his office to anyone. C.

I had already met with several Orthopedic Surgeons for my 20-Year-Old Daughter over the course of a year and a half and had narrowed it down to one Surgeon who came highly recommended in Ventura County. > > My introduction to Dr. G wasn’t planned. It was a chance encounter that his information was presented to me. After reading his Bio, I took a leap of faith and scheduled an appointment to meet with him. That first meeting completely changed our course and was all it took to take a different approach and put all our trust in Dr. G. > > I have never met a Doctor that was so involved with each case and patient that he worked with. Treating each patient as if they were his only patient. We never felt rushed at any moment we had with him and he always wanted to ensure that we fully understood the path that we were about to take. > > He listened to my daughter and took into consideration what her daily life was like and that her physical abilities played a huge factor in her life. He didn’t want to see any of her abilities limited at a young age. > > It has now been almost 4 months since her surgery and I do not have one regret choosing Dr. G. He personally checked on her the following days after the procedure and continues that same attentiveness that he gave us from Day 1. > > I am excited to see his practice grow and will continue to support him with any referral I can pass on to him. > > Dr. G., WE ARE FOREVER GREATFUL for everything you have done!

(traveled from Idaho) > > I am a very "active" grandma of seven... > > It wasn't until after vetting four different Ortho's that I choose Dr. Garabekyan. > I had bi-lateral labral tears in my hips and was in a lot of constant pain. I went to some of the "best" hip surgeons in LA and Beverly Hills. I left their offices feeling discouraged and not very confident. > > I sought out Dr. Garabekyan for his Arthroscopic Labral repair techniques (no perineal post) and recovery period. > > From my 1st visit where the tears were explained and the specific details for surgery were given, I was certain he was the right surgeon. He made accommodations for a prompt surgery due to the distance I would need to travel. Dr. Garabekyan gave me his cell number and kept me informed all the way through the process. He was kind enough to share all the details a second time with my husband. > > Surgery day came, Dr. Garabekyan came into the pre-op room sat with us for 15 minutes, went through the surgery details again, which was very reassuring. > > Surgery (on both hips) went very well and I walked same day, that was outstanding! He texted me daily to check on my recovery!! Wow! I felt like a VIP! > > Pain management/recovery: > > I was off narcotics within 24 hrs. Went on to Toradol for three more days, then to Ibuprofen from there. I used crutches for 1 week inside and two-weeks outside. > > PT started with bike riding twice a day; PT w/therapist started week 3. My PT was amazed and impressed with my recovery and the techniques that Dr. Garabekyan used. I definitely did my part, but truly believe that my recovery is and has gone so well because of the skills and expertise of my doctor. > > I am 6 weeks post-op and went for a two-hour beach bike ride in Santa Barbra with my grandchildren even after walking the zoo for two-in-a-half hours!! > > I am thankful that I listen to my gut and did my research! All my pre-surgery pain is 100% gone! > > I am pleased to highly recommend Dr. Garabekyan for any of your ortho needs! C.
