I highly recommend Avalon Surgery Center. From the moment I stepped into the waiting room, the staff was nice and very helpful. My pre-op/post-op nurse was Nina. She was amazing. I felt so comfortable with her. She took my vitals, reviewed my health history, and prepped me for surgery. When it was time for surgery, three nurses wheeled me into the OR, and before I knew it, I was in post-op with Nina. She went over the discharge instructions with my husband, and I was off to go rest at home. Dr. Hirsch was the BEST surgeon I have ever had! Thank you, Dr. Hirsch, Nina, and the entire Avalon Surgery Center staff!

Such a great place to have surgery. The staff is wonderful; Melanie and Sona were my nurses and they were both amazing. All were very comforting professionals with good energy. It makes you happy just seeing them smile. The doctors are great and they sure know what they’re doing!

I went to Avalon to get breast augmentation, and the whole staff, from the receptionist to the nurses and my surgeon, went above and beyond for me. They were just amazing—better than a hospital. They went out of the way to make sure I was comfortable after the surgery, and after I woke up they offered to get a juice box, water, and even saltine crackers.

So I’m not new to surgery centers. I’ve been to many through my years, and I have to say I’m really impressed by Avalon! From the minute I arrived, they were top-notch and professional. There is a masked worker upon entering behind plexiglass. They provide hand sanitizer and have a temperature check machine. Once I was checked in, an RN came out; he introduced himself and brought me back to the bed, where I was given a gown, socks, a cool party hat, and a warm blanket. Ahhhh. My vitals were taken, my IV was inserted, my medical history was asked, and questions were answered. I met with an anesthesiologist and doctor, and away we went to the OR. Woke up back in the holding area peacefully, where the RN checked on me until I was fully awake. He checked my vitals and well-being, and when I was ready, they called my husband to pick me up. Once dressed, they wheeled me out to the car, where my discharge instructions were explained to my husband and bid me farewell. They were awesome. I felt safe, and every precaution was taken from start to finish. I highly recommend this surgery center.

My fiancé, 28 has suffered from a minor case of gynecomastia for the last two years after losing a little weight. It was never noticeable to me, but he was never comfortable with it and wanted some options. The amazing team at Avalon introduced us to DR. Hirsch. After the consultation, my fiancé decided it was best to move forward with the procedure. From the moment we arrived at Avalon on surgery day, the entire staff treated us like we were family. They made us very comfortable and kept me in the loop through the entire process. DR. Hirsch did an amazing job and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you to the entire team at Avalon and to DR. Hirsch for taking such good care of us.

I was schedule for my facial cosmetic surgery with the center. Dr. Susan Chobanian was the Dr. who did my surgery and she was the Dr. scheduled me with the Avalon Surgery and Robotic Center. I didn’t have any idea about the center before but a day before, when I received a call from the nurse from avalon, I felt the care they have. The day I was there I was suprised; all staff members front desk to all nurses were so nice, warm and caring that I didn’t feel I was there to have my surgery. The place was very clean and comfortable. I am very thankful that Dr. Chobanian working with them.

These people are truly amazing. Great referral doctor, great facility that is warm and welcoming and makes you feel secure, cared about and safe. I drove from San Pedro for 2 different surgeries – that should say it all. A drive well worth the experience. Thank you!

Morgan B.

March 12th, 2019 was my 2nd experience at Avalon. I wanted to assure anyone reading this my experience was as wonderful as the 1st on February 12th, 2019. I’m truly grateful for Dr. Joseph using this facility for his foot surgeries. I hope more doctors will discover Avalon for their patients.

Dixon S.C.

Thank you to everyone at Avalon Surgery Center for making my experience so great and comfortable. I had surgery on 2/26/2019, and the entire staff was extremely professional, and treated me like family. Dr. Hirsch is such a great doctor. Sophia you are such and kind and amazing person. I would recommend Avalon to family, friends, and to anyone looking for a great staff of professionals and a beautiful facility.

This review is long overdue. I had my Surgery at this facility in November 2018 and my experience from beginning to end was fabulous. From the minute I walked in the staff was very helpful as well as the Nurse that took good care of me and calmed my nerves as I was getting ready for surgery. Gabi, Natalie, Anna. All wonderful sweet personalities that helped me in the front. This place is clean professional and well organized. At the end of my procedure the Nurse Melanie took wonderful care of me! making sure I was comfortable, and took her time coming back to check on me again she was gentle and patient. Aside from all this they called me the day before to make sure I was prepared and went over additional details. I would highly recommend this facility.

Dr. Reagan performed a discectomy of my L5-S1 at the Avalon Surgery Center 04/10/2019, after 2 years of suffering from sciatic pain due to a 10 mm protrusion. He not only did a great job but I was impressed by the facility in itself. As a HealthCare Administrator, they met all of my requirements that I look for in a Healthcare facility; from quality assurance, to their kind staff, to having a clean/sterile and amiable environment I went from being anxious to calm/serene. Anthony, the head RN, was very accommodating and even checked up on me on his own terms to make sure the recovery has been going well. That to me exemplifies someone who is content and committed to their job because he goes the extra mile which is a result of a good environment. As someone who majored in HCA, I highly recommend the Avalon Surgery Center to anyone who is having surgery and is looking for a place with high-quality of care.

I just had a pretty intrusive surgery done there. When my surgeon told me that he would be using a surgery center verses a hospital I was a little concerned. But, all went well, and could not have asked for more both from the center and my surgeon. The staff at the center were extremely polite, caring and friendly. And while I am not an expert in the field I feel on the professional level they were just as good. So this institution gets full marks and thumbs up from me.

I have been fortunate enough to have Dr. Boghosian as my foot doctor for a couple of years. He has been fixing my toes from a previous foot surgery. He clearly has a good understanding of his field and is one of the last remaining doctors that is good in his field and has one of the best bed side manners that I have seen in a long time. I would highly recommend him to any one. I am so appreciative of him and how he has taken care of correcting my foot issues. He had me do a day surgery at Avalon Surgery Center in Glendale Ca., because the last surgery he did on me was a surgery center in Antelope Valley and he said he highly recommended Avalon. They were wonderful. I had the best experience ever. Everyone took so much care and time to make sure all my needs were meet that I was not rushed through and made me feel that they truly cared about me the patient. I would drive down again with no thought about it. Every person of the team from my Doctor of course to the anesthesiologist to the head nurse and the nurse assisting him to prep me for surgery was wonderful. And on top of that they took wonderful care of my husband. The office was so comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend the to anyone. I have nothing bad to say at all.

My teenage son had surgery here last week. We cannot say enough good things about Avalon Surgery Center. The facility is spotlessly clean and we felt comfortable as soon as we arrived. The nursing staff is incredible! Anthony put in my son’s IV and he did the most amazing job. When we removed the bandage when we got home, there wasn’t even a mark! My son was extremely nervous prior to his surgery. The nursing staff helped him relax and feel comfortable. The entire staff was very communicative with my husband and I while we waited (we were super nervous, too!). I would recommend Avalon Surgery Center to my friends and family. They provided excellent care. Anthony even called us the next day to check on our son.

The care I received at Avalon Surgery Center during my foot surgery, with Dr. Robert Joseph on November 13th was beyond AMAZING. I’m a terrible stick, bad veins, but Tony stuck me only once. I kept on telling him I was a tough one and he kept telling me not to worry, everything would be OK. He was right. Not only did he get me the first time, but I didn’t even bruise. In addition to Tony’s amazing touch, the staff, from the moment you walked in until I left went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. They even phoned me after I went home, to insure I was doing OK after the surgery. I simply cannot say enough about the team at this surgery center. I would recommend them highly.

Monique M.

The staff is wonderful they are they take very good care of you and the nurses are exceptional I would recommend this place very highly

Thank you Dr. Moradian and all the staff at the Avalon Surgery Center, you are lifesavers! I recently had a baby @ Huntington Hospital and after the epidural injection had a spinal leak and horrific spinal headache. One could understand my hesitation to allow the same surgeon who performed the epidural to administer the blood patch, the recommended procedure to fix the hole in the dura caused by the injection @ Huntington Hospital. So, I contacted Dr. Moradian who performed the blood patch at the Avalon Surgery Center guided by X-Ray which reduces the odds another tear could happen, working me into the schedule so I could get relief and be home with my newborn. The staff were all amazing, from the front desk having all paperwork ready so I didn’t have to wait, to the Physician Assistant who took care of making me comfortable to Anthony in making sure every need was met before & after the surgery. I would not hesitate to recommend Avalon Surgery Center to anyone in need of a top notch, modern, clean facility with terrific staff & exceptional physicians as well as use them again in the future for any of my surgical needs. Thank you to Dr. Moradian and the staff at Avalon Surgery Center for making me well again to be able to care for my newborn baby.

Between family members and myself I’ve had experience with several surgery centers but this place is by far the nicest and best in every way. I had my surgery on a Saturday and I was literally the only patient for the day and even though the staff had to come in on a weekend they were amazing and understanding. They made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. They seem to be very attentive to not only the patients needs, but for the family that’s waiting as well. Offering drinks and snacks while they were waiting and sent us home with some too because we had an hour drive. The facility itself was very nice and clean. Dr.Boghossian is amazing. I wasn’t happy about needing to have surgery, but they truly made this unfortunate situation so much easier and as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend this surgery center to anyone that has the option of going there for any procedure.

Erica B.

Dr Alavy did a great job. A true professional who made me feel like he genuinely cared about me. Which put me at ease. The clerical staff in front was professional and clear on what they needed. The Nurses were also very professional and worked as a team. Each nurse explained what was going to happen, which put me at ease. Great work by the entire staff. Thank you. Miguel G. and Family.

Monique G.

The staff were compassionate and caring and made me feel very comfortable. I was treated very special. You are all awesome! I’ve had so much fear inside me due to my fall, and went through a lot. As soon as I walked inside, my anxiety and fear was gone. Thank you for all of you in taking it away with your caring and compassion. You gave me a gift!

Patricia S.

Avalon Surgery team and facilities were top notch! Everyone from reception to nurses to anesthesiologist were extremely professional, answered all my questions before I could even ask. They put me totally at ease in a very uneasy operation. I dunno if it was the anesthesia or what, but I swear there was a beautiful light shining from each every kind and attentive human being caring for me there….from entry to exit. Thank You!

Overall a wonderful place. Runs smoothly with great nurses and extremely qualified doctors. They truly care about customer service and try their hardest to make your procedure as smooth as possible.

This place is amazing. We felt the love and care from the entire staff immediately! Dr. Alavynejad said he was going to treat my nephew like his own son and he did. When surgery was done he gave my sister and I, a hug. It felt so good to know that he truly cared.

Update – Date of Service 5/12/17: Once again Avalon has come through for me with flying colors. Friendly and caring staff, excellent clinical care, and attention at all times to the comfort of patients. Thank you all, including physicians Dr. Hilary Fausett and anesthesiologist Dr. Schmidt. You’re the greatest!

Barb O

This place is amazing. I was so nervous going in for a pain management procedure. The whole surgical team took their time to put me at ease. They are nice, funny and professional. The facility is super clean and organized. Pain Management physician Dr Max Moradian, is very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole procedure. He truly is a higher standard of health care, and I hope his model is the future of the medical industry!

Olimpia F

Staff was awesome. It was a pleasure to be treated by most professional and caring staff. They kept me comfortable and explained everything, throughout the procedure. I felt I was in good hands. Thank you!

Hector S

The staff at Avalon Surgery Center are patient care driven, courteous and profesional and treat you as they would their parent or sibling, going the extra mile to contact other clinics to gather the patient’s medical history to provide better care.
