Dr Melikian has a kind, thoughtful and positive manner that immediately put me at ease. His office staff are communicative and friendly, working with me to get my surgery scheduled quickly. My surgery experience was top notch - the nursing staff went above and beyond to take care of me post-op, and Dr Melikian was available to answer all of my questions and recommend activities specific to me to help me get back to an active, pain-free life.

Incredible experience with Dr Melikian and his staff. After nine months of debilitating sciatica pain from two herniated discs, I chose Dr Melikian to perform a microdiscectomy. He and his staff were top-notch throughout the entire process -- warm, welcoming, patient, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. From my initial consultation through my final post-op follow-up, I felt at-ease and confident. Highly recommend Dr Melikian!

I had bad neck/back issues for many years but never prioritized my health. We had the opportunity to move to California from the east coast and the best part of the move was meeting Dr. Melikian (and the sunny weather).After cervical and lumbar surgery and PT I'm living my best life. While most of us with back issues can't run, if you need a spine specialist "run" to meet Dr. Melikian!

I had C5-C6 artificial disc replacement surgery with Dr. Melikian in September 2024. From the initial consult to my surgery and follow ups, Dr. Melikian has always been more than informative and very kind. The process of having spinal surgery is not an easy one, but knowing that you’re at a top facility and in great hands makes all the difference. My surgery went very smoothly! I was in and out of the hospital on the same day. Dr. Melikian was very thorough in explaining the surgery itself and recovery process - things have been going well so far! I feel significantly better every day and I am forever grateful to Dr. Melikian and his staff for providing me with the comfort to have this procedure and the strength to recover over time with their continued support!

I can't recommend Dr. Melikian and his team enough! The care they provided was exceptional and the DISC facility in Marina Del Rey was the nicest medical facility I've ever been to. I so appreciated that they were able to get my surgery scheduled so quickly since I was in terrible pain. Throughout the experience I felt taken care of and everyone who assisted me was great. The surgery, a microdiscectomy on L-5 - S1, went well and I felt so much better immediately. Dr. Melikian is easy to talk to and spent the time to answer all of my questions pre and post-op. I'm so grateful for my great outcome and that I'm well on my way to a full recovery!
