  • “Dr. Stepanyan did a hamstring avulsion repair surgery on me a year ago. Though it was a difficult recovery, the results are great. I'm fully functional and mostly pain-free. He is a great communicator and is friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. I'm happy to have been under his care and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.”

  • “I had a very positive experience with this doctor. Dr Hayk Stepanyan was extremely attentive, listened carefully to my concerns, and explained all possible outcomes and side effects of the treatment in a clear and understandable way. I felt well-informed and confident in the care I received.”

    Olena M.Google reviewAug 2026

  • “I saw Dr. Stepanyan about a knee joint recently. When he introduced himself, he asked how l was doing generally. I mentioned a stitched wound and he cleaned and rebandaged it. He also observed another condition I had and set up a treatment for that. And he treated the knee problem effectively. Great competence and service... so gratifying to encounter a professional who is not just "paint by number."”
