TESTIMONIALS - Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian.  Plastic Surgery. Santa Monica, CA

I had the Hydrafacial treatment done at the office and I loved the results.  I first came to Dr. Karamanoukian for a tummy tuck and breast implants.  Once surgery was over, I started talking to him about my skin.  I had large age spots on my skin and uneven skin color.  I started the Obagi creams for a few months and my skin looks beautiful.

One word comes to mind when asked about Dr Raffy… “AWESOME”. I am so happy with my lower eyelid surgery. Not only was his expertise for this procedure precise but his staff and his caring for my well being was so nice. I will continue to recommend my friends and family to use his services. Thank you so much for being a wonderful doctor and even better person.

We are delighted with Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian and the dedicated work that he performed on our twelve year old son. We recommend his office wholeheartedly.

Dr. K was my favorite physician at the Kaiser Cosmetic Clinic in Downey.  He is an expert on laser hair removal for black skin.  I recommend him totally.

R. Los Angeles, CA

I had my breast implants done twenty years ago and I have been literally walking around with capsular contracture for the last ten years. Dr. Karamanoukian reconstructed my breast implants and I feel like a woman again. Thank you very much for all the wonderful work and dedication you put into me.

The Hydrafacial treatment was great!

Dearest Dr. Raffy. I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me and my family and friends. We are all extremely happy with your work and constantly sing your praises. You are the "bomb." You are an exceptional surgeon. Though more importantly, for me, you are a genuinely kind, warm, and caring person…and you make me laugh. Thank you.

Dr. K. I loved the diamondtome microdermabrasion and peel you recommended.  See you next time.

Elena S. Medical Assistant. Santa Monica, CA

Everyone here was wonderful, especially Dr. K. and staff. Enjoyable experience everytime. This has been the most enjoyable experience I’ve ever had in a medical office, from the receptionist to the doctor.

Jasmine.A., Glendale, CA.

Mi experiencia con el Dr. Raffy fue maravillosa... mi cirugia fue algo que yo queria por mucho tiempo, y encontrar al doctor perfecto era muy importante para mi. En el Dr. Raffy encontre toda la informacion y profecionalismo y sobre todo a alguien que se preocupo por que yo me sintiera lo mejor posible como persona, y los resultados fueron mejor de lo que yo esperaba, me practico un aumento de busto y una abdominoplastia y gracias al dr. y su excelente trabajo cambio mi vida . Esta fue una decicion muy importante para mi pero el haber encontrado al dr. correcto marco toda la diferencia yo lo recomiendo 100% y estoy feliz con mis resultados.

R.Z., Hospital Administrator, Monrovia, CA

I first met Dr. Raffy when I saw him at Dr. Obagi's clinic in Beverly Hills.  My wife and I have continued to see him ever since he opened his office in Santa Monica.  He is a 'brilliant doctor' and we see him every time we visit Los Angeles.   With appreciation.

Despues de mi embarazo me salieron manchas en la cara, pero fui una consulta con el Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian y el me receto las cremas de Obagi. Ahora ya no tengo manchas se me desaparecieron. Los resultados fueron exitosos, les recominedo a todos a que vayan a una consulta.

Sandra O.   North Hollywood, CA

I went to two other places in Glendale and Pasadena for my laser hair removal and did not see any difference.  I started seeing results after just two treatments with Dr. Karamanoukian.  It was nice that a doctor was actually doing the laser hair removal rather than a nurse or esthetician.  I recommend him with all my heart.  Thank you. 

Anahit P.  Glendale, CA

This is the best place for laser hair removal.  I had three laser hair removal treatments done on my bikini area and I am extremely happy with the results.  The doctor was great and took the time to explain it all to me.  An absolute recommendation.

Chryssy P. Nurse, St. Johns Hospital.

I've thought about laser hair removal for a while and made two other clinic appointments before I met Dr. Karamanoukian in his Santa Monica office.  I felt most comfortable that a physician was performing the treatment and he just seemed more knowledgeable about laser hair removal than the nurses that I met at the two other places.  The office did not seem overly eager to schedule the laser hair removal sessions but gave me some time to think about the treatments.  Nevertheless, I did choose to do laser hair removal on my back and chest and am very pleased.  I would recommend the place without reservation.

Jonathon P. Beverlywood, CA.

I booked an appointment with the doctor after reading several positive reviews of the office.  I was not disappointed, especially since this was my first time doing laser hair removal.  I saw the physician and was really impressed by the whole outfit.  I actually referred a friend to him for breast augmentation.  I would recommend the doctor and the office wholeheartedly.

Dear Dr. Karamanoukian, Hope you have a wonderful birthday. You deserve the very best life has to offer. You make so many people happy and change their lives. You sure did mine. Thank you so much for all you have done for me. You’ll always be in my heart.

N.J., Bookkeeper, Monrovia, CA

Dr. K.  My legs feel great and my spider veins are much, much better.  I had a lot less bruising when I used the Bruisekare pills on the left side vs. the right. 

L.S. San Gabriel, CA

Thank you for all your work. Great job.

Dr. Raffy.  Thank you so much for taking such good care of me last month.  The obagi blue peel did wonders for my skin and gave me the confidence that I needed.  I am very grateful to you and your staff for the attention and for putting up with all my questions.  Now if I can only convince my husband to let me do that tummy tuck I've always wanted.

Paula K., Marina Del Rey, CA

Dr. Raffy is the only person in the world that I would trust to take care of my wife.  His office goes out of their way to take care of every part of her care.

S.D. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

I was turned down by two laser hair removal clinics because I have a darker complexion.  Once I saw Dr. K, he explained my options and he made me feel comfortable with the treatment plan from day one.  He has done laser hair removal on hundreds of African Americans and reassured me that the risk of pigmentation were very low with the laser hair removal system in his office.  I have already had several treatments and am just thrilled with the results.  The hair on my chin is gone and the dark acne spots have all but disappeared.  I would recommend him to anyone.

S.G., Bellflower, CA

Dr. Karamanoukian, we appreciate all you do for us and we love you. Thank you for taking care of us the way you do.

G.C., Duarte, CA.

I have been a patient of Dr. Karamanoukian for the last four months and have undergone three laser hair removal treatments on my armpits and bikini area.  I have been truly impressed by the office and the staff.  Dr. Karamanoukian performed all the treatments himself with a female chaperone (assistant) and I felt confident and comfortable that an actual physician was treating me.  At this point in my life, I want only an experienced physician to perform any treatments on my body.  I would recommend his office to anyone.  You will not be disappointed.

Brianna D. Brentwood, CA

My breast implants look great! Dr. Raffy gave me the options about silicone and saline breast implants and helped me make the right choice for my body.

Samantha R., Chino, CA

My experience on coming to Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian Laser Hair Removal Center has been very pleasant and helpful.  I have received many compliments on my facial hair removal and its lasting effects.  I have also received treatment for acne which was a great improvement.  I enjoy coming to the center, there is never a long wait.  I would refer and I also have referred him to family and friends.  The cost is very reasonable for laser hair removal treatments.  I am very pleased.

T.W. Los Angeles, CA

If you are African-American and want laser hair removal, this is THE place to go.  Dr. K is knowledgeable and friendly.  He first saw me at Kaiser Downey cosmetic clinic and did laser hair removal on me.  He treated my skin condition and me with respect and explained every single step to me clearly before booking me for any treatment.  He has an office in Santa Monica and it is definitely worth the trip.

Dearest Dr. Raffy, Mike, and Melissa. Thank you so much for all your kindness this past year.

C.G., Los Angeles, CA

I started the Obagi creams one year ago and have seen Dr. K in his Santa Monica office ever since.  My skin looks great and my face pigmentation is completely resolved.

Virginia del S., San Gabriel, CA

Thank you for always being there.

Dear Doctor.  My family cant believe how good my skin looks after two months of using the Obagi creams and the antioxidant chemical peels.  I feel confident about myself and I just can't thank you enough for everything.

Dear Dr. Karamanoukian. You are an answer to my prayers. Thank you for your kindness to me. I cannot thank you enough! You will never know what meeting you has meant to me. I never wanted to look in the mirror. I left your office, went home an kept looking in the mirror. Thanks so much!

J.M. Los Angeles, CA

In July, my dermatologist did a biopsy of my arm and discovered a first stage melanoma that she wanted removed.  She sent me to Dr. Karamanoukian and he just gave me the comfort and reassurance that I needed.  The office was very accomodating with me and gave me an appointment the same week so that I didn't have to wait.  Dr. Karamanoukian saw me immediately and went over the pathological specimen report and had an immediate plan.  He spent the time to discuss things with me but was very regimented and just took charge of the situation, which is what I really needed at the time.  I'm six months out and am just grateful to him for his expertise and his compassion.  He took charge of the situation and got the job done!

Dr. Raffy. Thank you so much for making me feel so special and confident at my daughter’s wedding. I love my new look. May God richly bless you and your family.

Dr. K.  Your work is phenomenal.  I appreciate all of the extra time and attention you gave me before and after surgery.  I am so glad that I met you and will always sing your praises.  Needless to say, my face looked great at my daughter's quincenera.

Dear Mike and Melissa.  Thank you for your thoughtful phone call after my eyelid surgery.  I am grateful that I found your office.  All of you have taken such good care of me from the first phone call I made to the office until now.  My eyes look great and I can't wait to see you all again.  Please accept the chocolates as a gesture of my sincere thanks.  See you soon.

I've lived in Santa Monica all my life and basked in the sun for all 63 years.  I never realized that I would ever get skin cancer but I eventually did last year.  Dr. Raffy diagnosed a basal skin cell carcinoma on my left cheekbone while I was in the exam room with my wife.  What a surprise for both of us.  My wife came in for a chemical peel and the next thing we know, Dr. Raffy noticed the small scab on my face.  My wife and I are indebted to him for his keen eye and his dedication to his patients.  Thank you Dr. Raffy.

Mr. and Mrs. S. Goldberg, Santa Monica, CA

Dr. Karamanoukian.  Being diagnosed with pre-melanoma at age 29 was one of the scariest moments of my life.  Thank you for being there and for taking care of me the way you did.  I could not have done it without you.  Love.

Greatest doctor in the building! My breast lift looks great.

D.D. Medical Assistant, St. John’s Hospital. Santa Monica, CA

Dr. Karamanoukian was the first plastic surgeon I went to for my gynecomastia.  I subsequently went to two other plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills for a second and third opinion and I found myself impressed most by Dr. Karamanoukian.  He was genuine and gave me the time to ask all my questions and really took the time to explain the options for gynecomastia surgery.  He was true to his word and I am impressed by the results so far. 

Bill R.,Encino, CA

Mi visita a la clinica del Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian fue exelente, me hice liposuccion y aumento de ceno y los resultados fueron exelentes. El Dr. Karamanoukian es mi cirugano plastico favorito.

 Norma A.,  Culver City, CA

I first saw Dr. Karamanoukian for laser hair removal at Kaiser Hospital and have been a devoted patient of his ever since.  I had a condition called pseudofolliculitis barbae which is actually quite common among African American men.  I had shave bumps and ingrown hairs that scarred my face and left permanent marks on my neck.  You don't hear about laser hair removal in men very often, but Dr. Karamanoukian began doing laser hair removal on my chin and neck and I have never felt so confident as I do now.  He is a good man and an incredible and dedicated doctor. 

School teacher. Los Angeles, CA.

Dr. Karamanoukian.  I would like to thank you for your exceptional work and your commitment to my care.  You did a truly exceptional job on my rhinoplasty and my husband and I will always be thankful for your professionalism and your truly gifted hands.  People think that it is a cliche to say that plastic surgery has changed my life, but is the honest truth.  I feel confident with my new nose, mostly because it feels like a natural extension of me and my face.  After meeting you for the first time last year, I knew that you would be my surgeon because I had tremendous trust in you. I am thankful for that day and for your care.  May God bless you.
