"I suffered with knee pain for years. Previous doctor just kept offering injections and PT. Went to Dr. Yacoubian and he immediately saw how bad my knee was and what other treatments I had tried and said the next option was knee replacement. We scheduled it and things could not have been better! While recovery was painful (especially early on), it was temporary and living without pain has been a gift! He did an excellent job and PT and recovery went really well. It's been over a year since my surgery and I am able to do all the things I want to do without pain or fear of my knee giving out. Highly recommend Dr. Yacoubian!"

"Dr. Shahan diagnosed my Hip quickly and efficiently. He could tell by the way I walked and an x-ray that I needed a Total Hip replacement. He didn't waste my time with MRIs or physical Therapy and my hip was replaced with in 3 weeks. In less than 4 weeks after replacement I was pain free and walking without a limp. I never waited more than 10 minutes in the office and the Doctor was available to answer questions at anytime before and after my Surgery. ... There is no need to live in pain."

"I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Shahan Yacoubian because he’s well known for being the top surgeon in Los Angeles county for total knee replacement. He performed the surgery and did an excellent job and I’m truly grateful. I can now play pickleball and hike with zero limitations. I’ve recommended Dr. Shahan Yacoubian to my family, friends and business associates and if anyone is looking for a surgeon that truly cares about you, make an appointment with him. Thank you for giving me my life back Dr. Yacoubian!"

"I'm a 75 year/old with a total left hip replacement by Dr. Yacoubian. The results were beyond my expectations. He is highly trained with a Harvard Brigham and Women's Fellowship in Orthopedic Surgery. His whole team at OSS is attentive and efficient. They even arranged for delivery to my home of an extra large ice pack. St. Joseph Hospital in Burbank was another plus for me. I didn't need to go to Los Angeles for my operation. I was driving within a month of the operation. I was pain-free after surgery and didn't even need pain medication after two days. I was walking with a walker the next day."

"Dr. Shahan Yacoubian gave me a total knee replacement only four months ago and did such amazing work that I’m having him do my other knee tomorrow! I can’t believe the difference in my life already He is such a good surgeon and the after care through his office has been wonderful I cannot recommend him enough."

"I was walking with so much pain in 2016, I decided to have a total knee replacement after 3 arthroscopic surgeries by another doctor. Dr. Yacoubian replaced my left knee in April 2016, and when I went to Hawaii that summer, I was walking so well my family was having a hard time keeping up with me. I was so pleased I had my right knee, which also had severe osteoarthritis, replaced this September and the results were even better. I can’t recommend Dr. Yacoubian and his staff more highly."

"Dr. Shahan Yacoubian replaced my left hip in October. I went in with full confidence because not only was I referred by my trusted physician, but leading up to the surgery I met so many others who had recently had hip or knee surgery and highly recommended him. Since my VERY SUCCESSFUL hip replacement, I’ve met even more of his happy patients. It just makes you heal better, knowing that you couldn’t have a better choice for such an important surgery. It was my first time having any kind of major procedure, and besides being nervous and frightened I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or outcome. Many thanks."
