Leo Polosajian, MD

Dr. Leo Polosajian is a truly healing experience on many levels and I would recommend him highly. I think he has a great staff of men and women who are very compassionate and efficient.

Looooooong wait. Book on Tuesdays or Fridays. Came on a Wednesday and waiting one hour + to be seen. That being said, it seems like the doctor’s are efficient and care– I saw Dr. Malala– not Polosajian.

This was honestly one of the worst and most frustrating doctor visits I’ve gone through.
He has a bunch of young girls working there who don’t have much of a clue of what they’re doing and have an attitude.
With all the great Unilocal reviews I thought it was worth waiting for my appointment over a month, but was very disappointed with the first visit and would never go back.
I made an early morning, 1^st appointment, so I can get in and out to work. When I got there front office was empty with light off, within 30 minutes staff and more than 6 patients walked in. I kept waiting while patients were being called in, so I finally went and asked when doctor would be seeing me and they kept saying he’s with other patients (I WAS THE 1ST ONE THERE). So I waited over an hour and when called in the room asked the girl why they schedule so many people, she just smirked and said, we don’t have any control, we just do what the doctor tells us.
Doctor walks in and right after I tell him my symptoms, he right away tells me what’s wrong and says I just need to take some steroid medicine and anti-​inflammatory. I asked what that decision was based on and if there were additional tests I could take to confirm that I need to take this medicine. He said just to take it, it won’t do any bad and ordered for me to come back for an ultrasound. A week later all tests came back negative and I had another tech with many years of experience look at my ultrasound, who said I don’t have this condition and didn’t understand why the doctor prescribed the meds.
So that nightmare was over, moving on to the next. I came to get my ultrasound with a tech, which literally took 10 minutes (I’ve had this before and it was a lot longer). A month later I get $ 600 bill, I call the office and the only thing they tell me is to call my insurance. After many phone conversation with the office and my insurance carrier, it turns out that this test requires a prior authorization, which they never got. I’m still fighting this bill, but overall I just wanted to get across that I felt like this office is all about quantity of patients. The staff he has is unprofessional, bunch of young girls who sit around discussing their night out and giving an attitude.

Dr. Polosajian is an amazing cardiologist. I am 24 years old and was diagnosed last year with a condition called cardiomyopathy. I began to faint at random over the course of July and was given false information from many doctors. When I went to see Dr. Polosajian for what I thought was just a check up to rule out any cardiac issues, we realized that I was having a very high number of PVCs. He immediately knew his plan of action and made me feel very comfortable. I went to the hospital a few days later and had a Biventricular ICD implanted.
Dr. Polosajian helped me feel at ease during a very stressful and terrifying process and even now, a year later, he calls to check in on me personally. He was always very straight forward with me about what needed to be done and allowed me to be an active participant in my care. His staff is also very kind and knowledgable and they treat all the patients with the utmost respect and service.
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Polosajian to anyone.

Leo Polosajian saved my husband’s life! Okay, that might sound a little dramatic, but he did find and treat the clot in my husband’s heart before it caused a stroke and then he performed the surgery that stopped the atrial fibrillation that caused the clot.
Being unpretentious and very down to earth, after we mangled his last name the first time we met him, he said, «Please, just call me Leo.» Ever after he was «Dr. Leo» to us.
Dr. Leo’s staff is really really busy, but they are excellent at their jobs, very efficient, and are quite warm and personable… they clearly respect him and are clearly respected in return.
It seems that sometimes (probably in the hands of lesser mortals) radio frequency catheter ablation has to be done more than once. Well that bit of news made my husband blanch and then look like he was going to bolt out of the office. Dr. Leo reassured us that all the electrical misfiring would be taken care of during the first (and only) surgery – and he kept his word.
The surgery was on December 23^rd (what were we thinking?) and I worried that the doctor might be hard to reach because of the
my surprise, Dr. Leo gave us his personal cell number, which turned out to be unnecessary anyway since he called my husband on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to check on him.

I finally had my surgery with Dr Leo today for my AVNRT. I am very impressed with Dr’s professionalism, and bed side manner. He said I almost needed a pace maker, but he fixed the electrical problem without one! Thank God!
Even though Dr was running over an hr late, and the beds at Providence Tarzana hospital are the worst, I think he is a great Dr. My experience with the nurses at this hospital were great too, see my other review for them. Thanks again Dr Leo, hope to not see you anytime soon though. Lol

Dr Polosajian is a life saver. Talk about detail and caring about people I didn’t feel rushed and he listened to all my questions and concerns. I don’t trust people but I trust my life to Dr Polosajian.
