Gevorg G Mutafyan, MD

This is the most caring, doctor you could ever have.
I’ve had other consults with other doctors who perform the same surgery from Westlake to marina hospital. I will not name names. Dr. Mutafyan doesn’t only have a wonderful bedside manner he will take the time to go to extra mile for you. I put my son Andrew’s life in his hands he’s 22 and he’s been battling a weight problem since he was born. I was extremely scared to let anyone operate on my son but this doctor had done an open heart surgery two hours before he did my son surgery.
And he did a wonderful job for my son Andrew.
every day my son was in the hospital at Glendale Adventist he came to see him everyday he was their.
He always followed up because he does a lot of nonprofit surgeries all over the world and he doesn’t do them for fame he doesn’t because he cares. I had the sleeve done by another doctor and this was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made he didn’t even visit me in the hospital not even for my discharge. Dr. Mutafyan would never do this. also I’d like to mention that my son has a high fever Dr Mutafyan demanded for him to stay in the hospital until his fever went down.
I know this is extremely hard decision to make but please know you’re in wonderful hand with
son has lost over 100 pounds and he’s kept the weight off for almost 3 years. after the surgery my other son who is 12 at the time gave Dr. Mutafyan A big hug and told him thank you for saving my brothers life. He also wrote it on his Facebook to and even a small child recognizes what a wonderful man this is. I would also like to mention to my son has no complications. My name is Stephanie Hardwick so they’ll be no doubt that I am a real person.

I had my first Bariatric follow up visit with Dr Mutafyan today and I must say, I was immediately comforted by his presence and his expertise. This man knows exactly what he is doing and how to get everything done flawlessly, resulting in optimal results.
Dr. Mutafyan takes his time to explain things in non-​medical terms and explains all options and pros and cons, making difficult decisions easy.
His staff is always helpful and attentive and the office is always super clean and organized and has a peaceful, calming vibe.
Dr. Mutafyan is simply the best, pure person, excellent physician, honorable surgeon.

Weight loss surgery can sound really scary and if you don’t have the right doctor you can still be very scared and not do this life changing procedure that will really change the way you feel and look about yourself and most important your health! Dr Mutafyan is different from many doctors he truly cares about all his patients from the minute you meet him, he is kind and has a genuine heart and very humble person. If you go see Dr Mutafyan the search is over cause I can promise you, you won’t go anywhere else! And his staff is amazing! Very sweet and always on top of everything and if their is something they cant help you with right away then Dr Mutafyan is always available :)

Another surgeon performed my LapBand surgery 15 months ago and not only I wasn’t loosing weight like I should have, but I was having constant heartburn and abdominal pain and the surgeon assured me it was because I was eating the wrong foods and was not chewing the food well. I went to 2 surgeons for second opinion, before going to Dr. Mutafyan, and it seemed they only cared about doing the procedure and were bold and belligerent with their recommendations.
This is how Dr. Mutafyan STANDS OUT from the REST, with his kindness, and genuine heart & personality, who will give an honest and professional opinion about what will work, what is safe and how to get optimal results, etc. He did not rush during my consultation, as I asked complicated questions, he was very thorough and patient and took his time to explain and made sure I understood the underlying physiology. He is very caring and Down to earth, humble human being and very knowledgeable surgeon and an expert in his specialty, and the minute I stepped into his office I knew I was in the hands of the best surgeon and Dr. Mutafyan would be the only surgeon I would trust to do my revision surgery.
Dr. Mutafyan removed my band, which had slipped and caused a great deal of infection in my stomach, he then cleaned out the infection (don’t know the medical term for it), and performed a Gastric Sleeve Surgery, which was a success, recovery was quick and easy and I have lost over 40 lbs. in the past 3 months and feel great. Thank you Dr. Mutafyan for saving my life and giving me a second chance to live a healthier, skinnier, happier life.
