Where he operates
Surgery takes place at a JCI-accredited hospital in Yerevan with a dedicated orthopaedic department, modern imaging and an intensive-care unit. We name the hospital and share its accreditation certificate with every patient at consultation, before any payment; we keep it off the open web so that our patients’ discretion is protected and our partnership stays independent.
Verify him yourself
His public professional profiles list his training, positions and publications. We encourage every patient to read them and to ask us for anything that is missing. Verification is not an insult to a surgeon of forty years; it is the first sign of a patient who is deciding well.
