Dr Robert Tashjian was highly recommended to me as a reverse shoulder surgery expert. Following past recurring rotator cuff tears and unsuccessful repairs, the reverse procedure was my only option. Dr Tashjian has been patient and kind about my reluctance to do yet another surgery within the last 15 months, and he has treated my case with sincerity and clarity. I feel that he really cares about my desire to greatly improve the use of my right arm and shoulder, which have been compromised with pain and lack of movement for nearly two years. I am hopeful that together, along with my PT rehab team, we can reach my goals and reclaim my active life of fitness, gardening, everyday household chores, hobbies, and travel.

Very kind!
Dr. Tashjian did a wonderful job on my right shoulder replacement five years ago and it's working wonderfully and pain free. He recently replaced my left shoulder with the same results. He's the absolute best, and I recommend him highly.
Dr Tashjian is a great Dr., but is super busy and not always able to answer all my questions because of being rushed.
I am very pleased with the care I received from Robert Z Tashjian, MD.
Excellent physician, I would highly recommend him to anyone needing complex shoulder or elbow surgery.
Dr. Tashjian has been very helpful in my decision of which shoulder to have replaced/revision on first. Both need surgery. He is professional, knowledgeable and kind.
I HAVE NOT HAD MY SURGERY AS OF NOW. I FEEL HE IS VERY CAPABLE TO DO MY SURGERY.
Except for initial intake nurse, who was vey curt and borderline unfriendly, everybody else behaved professionally. I felt kindly welcome by all of them !
I just donÕt understand why I have to go back in one week just to get a Cortisone shot. I was right there. I canÕt drive because I have MS and seizures
Honest, straight forward and easy to talk too. Bit he and his resident were very credible and nice.
Dr. Tashjian is the very best surgeon IÕve ever had.
Outstanding care and persistence in finding out what is wrong medically with my SC joint. So grateful for Dr Tashjian and the incredible knowledge heÕs used and the great staff that assisted in his office. Thank you
As always, I have great confidence in Dr Tashjian in regards to treating my elbow problem. He is definately one of the best!
Dr.Tashjian very personable and kind. Seemed to care about my pain
He explained everything to me to where I understood what was going on. It showed me the problems that we were having at sixt
Excellent care. Very easy to work with on my care
Dr. Tashjian consistently elicits questions and answers them in an understandable manner. All 3 surgeries I have had done by him have turned out amazingly well.
He is the absolute best orthopedic surgeon I have ever met.
Living out of state, I am pleased with Dr Tashjian's willingness to conduct video/telemed meetings to discuss my progress.
extremely competent physician
He's very knowledgeable and personable and very helpful.
Dr. Tashjian always listens to my questions and he provides answers in a clear and easily understandable way. He also fully explains the options available for my care and he gives me the opportunity to decide how best to proceed.
Dr. Tashjian is great. Conservative on surgical procedures and a straight shooter when it comes to explaining options, allowing the patient to choose the option, if there is more than one, that best suits their need or expectations. My full shoulder replacement was the best decision I ever made.
He was great to talk to. He listened and we made a very good decision based on facts.
I felt very comfortable asking questions which he answered to my satisfaction.
Not on time Surgery was 3+ hours later than told which brought more anxiety. Appointments also tend to be a lot later than set
Amazing, patient-centered surgeon, who listened and responded with excellent "bedside" manner. I an delighted to have him as one of my providers at the University of Utah!!
Dr. Tashjian always listens to me and gives me Great information. And Kyle always is there to Help me with any questions I might have. Thank You Both!
Dr Tashjian is a very caring and thorough doctor. He takes pride in his work. And wants what's best for his patients.
Excellent surgeon
If you need shoulder work, Dr. Tashjian is who need.
Dr Tashijian is one of the best orthopedic Doctors I know.
Robert is the man when it comes to shoulder repair
Great physician. He has helped me avoid shoulder surgery using other options. He's the best!
Dr. Tashjian makes the process as simple as he can. He is concerned and attentive to his patients. Very impressed with him.
Dr Tashjian is an outstanding surgeon. I have total faith in his surgical abilities.
This was the first time I met Dr. Trajan. He seemed incredibly confident and concerned, and answered all my questions. Needless to say, I'd prefer to have met him on a fly stream or on a ski slope. I don't suppose anyone is excited about shoulder replacement surgery.
Thank you I am truly grateful to be back to living
Followup visit was virtual. Was not able to video chat. I made 2 phone calls prior to appointment to verify I was doing things correctly. Disappointed with not being able to do the video. Dr was not able to see me or my incision. I was told someone would contact me to rectify the video. That was a week ago, no contact yet.
Well I have just meet him and feel very comfortable with him
Dr. Tashjian is a true professional. He is considerate and caring, discusses the procedure, and the results to be expected. I would recommend him to anyone with shoulder issues.
Dr Tashjian is the best orthopaedic surgeon I have dealt with. I highly recommend him to amyotrophic with shoulder issues!!!!
Simply put, I had a very good experience with Dr. Tashjian for my shoulder replacement. He was easy to talk to, seemed very knowledgeable, and I had zero pain after the procedure!!
He is very fussy in how he expects the outcome of surgery.
Thanks Doc
Great work Dr Tashjian¿.. I am painfree for the first time in years!
Excelente Doctor estoy muy agradecida con su atención.
Proved great care. Excellent physician
He is the best! Totally professional! I was so pleased to hear he also works on elbows as I have been having a lot of pain. This was totally unrelated to the shoulder check the appointment was about. He took an X-Ray and immediately set up a cortisone shot. I loved the quick response!
Great physician!
Dr Tashjian is friendly, I felt he cared about me personally, great to converse with.
Dr Tashjian has been very careful to get the right diagnosis. I was referred to him because he is one of the best in elbow surgery!
He is a good surgeon.
Excellent specialist! Highly recommend him!
He is very great at explaining how procedures will gp I'm not scared everytime I have had a surgery I'm much improved.
Ver friendly and easy to talk to and prepared for my appointment and my health history.
As a former Administrator of a Rehab Hospital and several Assisted Livings over my career I found this Surgeon unprofessional, rude with no empathy.His opinion was based totally on X-Rays he touched the area of concern one time. I don't doubt he is a good surgeon but socially he needs to learn what a good bedside manner means. Getting well includes kindness, empathy and tact.
extraordinary Surgeon
This was the first time seeing him but I was very comfortable
Wonderful doctor. Expert in shoulder surgery. Provides great follow up care. Surrounds himself with knowledge and courteous medical team.
Dr. Tashjan is knowledgeable and experienced. Following his instructions made my Total Shoulder Surgery successfully. He's rated one of the best.
I trust Dr. Tashjian and his staff completely. My shoulder replacement went without a single pain and I can do everything with it now! Thank you so much!!
He did an awesome job about my condition, and showed concern about my treatment plans
A very good doctor and surgeon, has very good staff and left me with a clean scar.
Do not hesitate to confer with Dr. Tashjian
Dr Tashjian is such a great man, he makes you feel great
made me feel comfortable and relaxed -- surgery is never something you want to think about but Dr. Tashijian was very good about explaining the process and procedures
Dr Tashjian is a wonderful surgeon and seems to always be able to pinpoint an issue. He listens carefully and is always courteous. He has performed two surgeries on me and I wouldn't go to any other doctor for shoulder issues.
Dr. Tashjian was very professional and helpful.
Outstanding physician. Courteous and caring.
Only (mild) negative is that he is frequently behind schedule so waiting > 15 minutes is the rule, not the exception. But worth it? Absolutely!!
Dr Tashjian did not jump right to the surgery option. He explained all options in words I could understand. Very personable. Recommend this guy highly.
Dr. Tashjian is a trusted professional.
Very very nice and explained well
Dr. Tashjian is the best at shoulders and im sure other parts... my new shoulder other than me falling on it is perfect! I love his bedside manner and him telling me to NOT ruin his surgery, lol. Great Dr. Have referred him to 3 or 4 people and they love him also.

I would recommend Dr tashijian to anyone I would give him a 10 plus
The Dr. was incredibly helpful. His concerns regarding my shoulder were met with compassion and consideration for my expectations for treatment. He recommended a full round of physical therapy as opposed to immediately scheduling surgery. Inappropriate that.
Highly recommended

I felt more confidence in him than I can ever recall feeling about any other doctor.
siento que ha echo lo mejor que pudo en la reparacion del tendon de mi brazo izquierdo
I can't recommend Dr. Tashjian highly enough. I did extensive research on shoulder surgeons around the US before choosing Dr. Tashjian, and he is one of the very best. He spent considerable time explaining to me the operation, was deeply knowledgeable, courteous and professional. If you need a new shoulder, he's the man.
I would recommend Dr. Tashjian and his staff highly. I can't imagine a better shoulder replacement process. Nothing was left to chance, and I was thoroughly supported before, during and after the procedure.
Dr. Tasha's is very professional and I believe he has all the experience necessary for a successful surgery. He is making any post op visits convenient for me as I am from out of state.
Absolutely amazing!!!! I would highly recommend Dr. Tashjian. He is very thorough and knowledgeable and friendly.
He is very thorough with exam update to evaluate change in status over the 2 years of my out-of-state residents. I should have made a direct inquiry of the updated x-ray results change of condition. My omission and at least somewhat to blame would be the lack of patient inclusion of experience while out of state residents of over 6 years has not encouraged much patient participation or inquiry.. so glad to be back again for treatment by Dr T and team including Kyle!
Dr. Tashjain truly lives up to all his amazing reviews! He is absolutely the shoulder expert! I hundred percent recommend him to anybody with problems with their shoulders.
Dr. Tashjian knows his specialty in shoulders. He has never doubted or questioned his abilities to care for and help me when I needed it.
Discusses status and care needs understandable with sincerity for my well being.
He is a very understanding person who cares about you and your problems
A very big thank you to Dr Tashjian, he made me feel as if I was his top priority, and listened to my questions and concerns
I'd highly recommend Dr. Robert Tashjian for a shoulder replacement.
I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my surgery and healing progress. Can hardly wait to have the same done on the other side.
I'm one year out from reverse shoulder surgery, my shoulder feels great and I have full range of motion. Very happy with the results. Dr. Tashian has answered all of my questions and has a great bedside manner

Dr Tashjian puts you at ease. Encourage you to do what makes you feel best for you. Gives you options and options.
Dr Tashjian was everything I hoped he would be, couldn't ask for a better Dr.
Dr Tashjian came highly recommended for my Revision Reversal Shoulder Replacement. Finding out what a complicated and involved surgery this is, we are so grateful to have had him do my surgery. He has always been very professional and we appreciate that he asks us if we have questions for him.
Total reverse shoulder replacement! This was such a relief! Way better than I anticipated! Love Dr Tashjian!
Dr. Tashjian is an excellent surgeon, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs a shoulder surgery.
I wish I found Dr Tashjian before my first surgery so I didn't need to hope for him to be able to fix it. I have hope for my future again and Dr Tashian is the reason why. Even if he can't fix my shoulder completely, the fact that he would take the time to meet with me and try to figure it out means the world to me.
Very professional, caring and seems to be very knowledgable. We will know more after the surgery.
Dr. Tashjiian is great! He always listens to me and answers all my questions. He is professional and also nice.

Doctor Tashjian provides the best shoulder care in the western region. The end result has been amazing and it has resulted in a shoulder that operates as smooth as glass!
Dr. Tashjian is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. I've had several orthopedic surgeries in the past and this was by far the best. All the way around. He explained everything and helped me understand why and how he did what he did. I think he is EXCELLENT!

10 stars
Dr Tashjian is a remarkable surgeon. I've had the opportunity to speak to and know several shoulder surgeons, he is definately a blessing to anyone with shoulder problems. He is kind, knowledgeable and attentive. Dr. Tashjian has gone the extra mile to fix my shoulder so that I can maintain a fairly normal life style. It is great to know that there are doctors who still care and take patients health seriously.
Very knowledgeable and competent doctor explains things completely
Dr Tashjian was friendly, helpful, and professional.
Dr. Robert Tashjian is a remarkable orthopedic professional, and I am grateful to be in his medical care. His extensive research and comprehensive expertise in complex shoulder issues were a large reason we made the trip from out of state. I returned from Utah to my home state with confidence and peace of mind, knowing I am in Dr Tashjian's medical care. Dr Tashjian provided detailed answers to medical questions that stumped other orthopedic specialists we had previously visited. The assisting medical staff members were comprehensive in care and the receptionist and front desk staff were incredibly friendly and contributed further to our positive experience. Dr. Tashjian is a trusted choice for those seeking top-tier orthopedic care. He's one of the most brilliant and well-regarded shoulder specialists in the country. Google his shoulder lectures and you'll see for yourself. I'm grateful to have him as my sports doctor.
Most professional and knowledgeable.
A very good doctor intelligent he helped me a lot with my shoulder
Dr. Tashjian always listens to my issues, talks about possible treatment options and further care if he thinks necessary. The pain in my right elbow was the worst I've yet to experience but immediately after he did the aspiration it felt 95% better and the day after I had no pain and full extension.
Super kind. Excellent surgeon
Dr Tashijan was very easy to talk to, and explained my options for my shoulder pain well. Once we decided on replacement, he went through all the complications and the procedure itself. We discussed recovery time, and he spent time answering my questions. He came highly recommended by my other orthopedic surgeons, so I feel very safe in his care.
I appreciate that Dr. Tashjian listens to me and then explains my options. He is very thorough and takes sufficient time to answer all of my questions. I feel Dr. Tashjian has solid shoulder replacement surgical skills and I feel fortunate to have had him leading my transition from severe pain and limited use of my right shoulder to complete recovery including being 100% pain free.
very patient and understanding very informative
I've had shoulder issues for years including 2 shoulder replacements. The doctor who performed my surgeries retired. I went to a well known clinic in Park City and did not receive the information or options that Dr Tashjian offered. I appreciate he didn't want to jump into surgery like the other doctor I saw. I'll be back if I need to.
Dr. Tashjian was recommended as the best doctor for shoulder surgery and/or replacement. I had a complete replacement and after the nerve block wore off after about three days I was a little uncomfortable for 2-3 days then my shoulder made great progress in healing and being able to move it in a slow smooth fashion.
Superb physician, really exceptional.
Dr. Tashjian is a very caring Dr. I am 14 weeks post surgery and I feel well on my way to strength and mobility. Each time I see him he gives me confidence and assurance that my recovery is going well.
Most efficient and organized medical team I have ever seen in my 78 years. Dr Tashjian is very professional, knowledgeable and listens.
If you need shoulder or elbow surgery, Dr. Tashjian is the guy!
Recommend Dr Tashjian highly.
Dr. Thashjian is a excellent Dr.
Dr. Tashjian is a RockStar..most definitely the top in his field!!
I have experience with many shoulder surgeons. That being said he is far beyond most in skill, understanding what's going on and how to fix it. You will be hard pressed to find anyone better to fix you. He is compassionate and kind. It was a blessing to find a doctor as amazing as Dr. Tashjian.
Friendly, professional and caring.

He is the niciest doctor who cares about his patients.
His calm manner was comforting, and the plan for no surgery until other options were reviewed was valuable.
Dr. Tashjian is one of the best surgeons that I have had. He is skilled , professional and very interactive in his opinion. He is direct to the point in telling you what is needed in your care. In my case not wasting time on a particular procedure and recommending another. I am grateful that he was my attending physician.
I feel very good choosing Dr Tashjian to operate on my shoulder in mid Dec.
Dr Tashjian In my experience is the best Orthopedic surgeon in North America and definitely one I would recommend for anyone who has a serious injury or medical condition for rotator cuff surgery. Definitely #1 Orthopedic surgeon in my experience. Thanks for getting me back to healthy wellness so quickly! With utmost gratitude and respect for your profession Thanks again Doc

He's been professional and personable
Dr Tashjian was caring and kind. He answered all of my questions. He was knowledgeable and respectful. I would highly recommend him.
El doctor Robert z Tashjian es muy buen doctor muy atento y amable y se preocupa por sus pacientes se los recomiendo.
My experience with Dr. Tashjian has been very positive. If I had any criticism, it's the time spent waiting to be called to the back to be seen, then waiting for him to finally come into the exam room. It's been as long as an hour after my scheduled appointment time.
He was very kind and thorough and he gave me options and recommendations. He even consulted on the recent surgical result of my other shoulder.
Top-notch, highly experienced, very caring and confident in his skills. The results bear him out.
Dr. Tashjian, clearly a very busy orthopedic surgeon, took time to address all of my questions and concerns. He discussed things in a thorough manner, and never made me think he was "dumbing down" his explanations.
Amazing doctor.i trust him with my life.Really.
He takes time to talk with you and explains things in an understandable way.
As long as Dr. Tashjian is practicing, nobody else cuts on my shoulders.
Again well versed on the issue. Had a plan to deal with it. No problem
I like him, he's very professional and I trust him.
I would call on him again if the need came up
He is professional and direct with a compassionate bedside manner. He explained clearly the steps we would take and I feel like there were no surprises when I came out of recovery. Follow up was very easy to understand and the communication from the staff is A+
Professional and understanding
I felt like he was in a hurry and didn't have time for my questions.
Just a wonderful human being. I shopped around and met with 3 other surgeons at various clinics before going with Dr. Tashjian. No one is comparable.
Dr. Tashjian is so knowledgeable, and he explained the next steps of the plan, and also a plan B if the first approach is not sufficient. I appreciate the thorough response.
He gave me explanations I could understand, was not pushy about needing surgery; gave me some choices; was very personable.
Dr Tashjian is an excellent surgeon. I have been very pleased with the care my husband received under his care.
It is Great to have Dr. Tashjian and Kyle on my side when I need them.
He was very professional and explained things clearly
Reviews about providers should only be written after getting to know them for a couple months, especially after treatment. I only had an initial consultation with him and would like to establish a better understanding before writing a review. This makes me question the value of the glowing reviews found on the hospital website. That said, I think Dr Tashjian might be able to help me and look forward to talking with him more, because I left our first visit a bit confused.
Dr. Tashjian explains all options very well and is very good at including me in treatment decisions. He is not overly anxious to prescribe surgery which I appreciate.
Dr. T is very supportive, very knowledgeable about treatment and options.
Excellent surgeon who is attentive to detail and who listens to the patient.
A very good experience, so happy that I was able to get into him. I have a lot of trust in him.
Hands down the best surgeon I have meet in 5 yrs almost 6yrs and 11 surgery later
Very good. He was helped me understand how I am doing and what I need to do.
He was very patience with me and explain things to me. He wanted to help me.
Dr. Tashjian always listens to my comments and then gives me his feedback on the best way to proceed in his opinion. He always cares about me as an individual and I trust him throughly with any procedure he recommends.
Thank you very much, Dr. Tashjian for the great surgery and level of care you provided me in resolving my shoulder pain problem!
Very professional and caring. Answered all my questions and concerns.
I couldn't have been in better hands.
Dr Tashjian and his staff took get care of me during my surgery and follow up visits. I couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Dr T to anyone needing shoulder surgery.
He is first rate.
It was a very productive visit and Dr. Tashjian offered solutions to my concerns.
Great Dr.! He took time with me and explained the situation. He recommended the care I needed. My follow up with him was good. He was kind and told me to call in the future if I have any further issues
I wish I could have found him a year ago. I was told I had arthritis in my elbow and I had to just live with it(by a different Dr) , Dr Tashjian confirmed what I knew that it wasn't arthritis. I had a torn bicep tendon. He took the time to explain everything to me about the surgery. He is very thorough and definitely knows what he is doing, I am very very thankful and can't wait to be out of pain..
When I first started seeing Dr. Tashjian for my shoulders several years ago, I felt like he spent much more time with me. This in-person visit seemed rushed. I was hoping to see the MRI with him to understand more of what he described was going on. It wouldn't change the outcome but I would feel more well informed. I was also disappointed that I have to wait three and a half months before I can have the corrective surgery. I wasn't given any advice or support about how to manage the pain and limited motion between now and then. (although I should have asked)
Excellent
Ive been seeing him for a couple of years now and hes very direct about what needs to be done and why. He gives you the time needed even if hes a busy doctor, and he listens
After talking to Dr. T I have full confidence my shoulder will be better than ever, and I can get back to a normal life. After my consultation, he gave me hope that I can get back to normal, and I am looking forward to that!
Extremely knowledgeable, very meticulous, very thorough. Explains everything to a level you can thoroughly understand. Shows concern and understanding. Personally and professionally a 10. Very dedicated.
Dr Tashjian was well prepared for visit had reviewed the X-ray and MRI was ready to discuss condition and options for care and corrective action
Dr. Tashjian is very experienced, detailed, yet very patient to listen to the patients' concerns or questions, and answered them in details.
Very clear in explanation of condition options and needs explained vet y well a near future plan of action well thought out and in consideration for other health issues. A functional and goal oriented plan in place with logical chance of success
Extremely knowledgeable and shared lots. Did tend to speak in doctor talk a lot which could be confusing. Luckily Ive had this issue for decades so Im familiar with the terminology. Would be nice to dumb it down a bit. But super helpful. Pulled up studies for me, gave me real honest feedback, didnt beat around the bush.
Excellent: caring, listens, knowledgeable and communicates clearly
Dr Tasjian was awesome. He gave me the information I needed for the best outcome.
He was very clear about my diagnosis and treatment. He answered all of my questions that allowed me to make the best decision for my care.
Dr. Tashjian makes a very good educated decision. He will go from the bottom to the top --a final decision that requires surgery or a different treatment. He is very aware of how expensive medical care is and does very well with consulting a patient like me. I just adores him!
Dr. Robert Tashjian always has treated me with respect and listens to my needs and concerns!
Wonderful Surgeon, worth waiting for available appointment.
I thought my only option was surgery when an appointment was scheduled with Dr Tashijian. I was presented with many non-invasive options to try first much to my relief.
The patients best interests and care come first and foremost with Doctor Tashjian.
He is excellent!
He is professional and kind. Happy to help me understand the reality of my situation and was not rushing me to make a decision. Answered all of my questions even when they were repetitive.
As I indicated on page one, Dr.Tashjian has been kind, listened to my concerns and the steroid injections he has given me have provided good pain relief. I have absolutely confidence in the care he has given me.
I really like Dr. Tashjian but during this visit he seemed preoccupied and I felt like he rushed to leave. I got all my questions answered by Kyle so everything was ok.
Dr Tashjian is a caring, personable, and knowledable doctor.
Consummate professional. I will work with him again.
He is intelligent, caring, and gives you all the options in a way you can understand and make good decisions. Hes very intelligent and knowledgeable and shares his knowledge with you in a way you can understand and digest it.
Dr. Tashjian has been the best surgeon and I don' change him. Is so wonderful to be with someone who knows what he is doing. I feel that I'm in good hands. Thank you Dr Tashjian!
He is top-notch. My problem was with the pain management provided by the anesthesiologist for the last 3 days of the first 5 days after the surgery. It was pitiful!
Extremely knowledgeable and skillful. He inspires our confidence.
Dr Tashjian is an excellent Surgeon who I trust completely. The results from my surgery are amazing and he always takes the time to explain and answer any questions I might have. I cant speak highly enough about him.
Very skilled physician. Pleasant and punctual (98% of he time). He communicates well with the patient.
Dr. Tashjian is a true professional mixed with artistry when it comes to his craft as a surgeon. His skill repaired my near unusable shoulder and I can live life normally again.
Thank you
Dr Tashjian is great, I use a wheelchair and he seems to appreciate that and understand the nuances that go along with that and a shoulder injury.
Dr Tashjian is amazing and he listened to me and explained everything completely.
Complete understanding of my condition, answered questions concisely and politely in layman's terms.
Wish all doctors could be this good and kind
He literally takes a personal interest in your situation/injury.
Very knowledgeable and experienced in the field of shoulder orthopedics. Able to answer my questions without hesitation.
Excellent Dr. I am very pleased with him as a Dr and a person. Great bed side manner. I will recommend him to anybody needing the same type of surgery
He is very knowledgable. I feel like he cares about my long term health. I trust his decisions.
I can't express enough gratitude to Dr. Robert Z. Tashian, MD. He's a rare find amongst professional in his chosen field of expertise in my opinion. So much so, that my spouse is a patient whom he took care of and fixed her ailing shoulder & bicep tendon successful. Now, she's doing exceptional well. Thank you Dr. Tashian for being heaven sent to correct my spouse and I ailing medical issues. Your the best & I pray for your continue professional success in performing any & all medical procedures on whoever you touch. God Bless.... [NAME REMOVED] One satisfied and content lifetime patient of yours.
Dr. Tashjian always has my Health and Well Being first and foremost. I would NOT recommend any other doctor to work on me. Thank You Dr. Tashjian
I really like this doctor.
Easy to understand, very caring
Dr. Tashjian is amazing. I had talked with 3 other doctors about an elbow replacement and all recommended not doing it and would not do it. Dr Tashjian on the other hand was very confident which inspired confidence in me. I went through the surgery well and my recovery has been amazing not at all like the fear stories l had heard. l start therapy in 6 weeks and look forward to using my new elbow. I have never had more faith in or been more impressed with any doctor than Dr Tashjian he is truly gifted and wonderful to work with. I intend to recommend him to anyone who needs the surgery that he excels in.
Dr.Tashjian is thorough, professional, and educational. He genuinely gives a patient the ability to participate in the decision making of their health care. I'm confident the guidance and care received will place me where I expect to be with my health.
He was very professional and also very informative by taking the time to explain the procedure and answering all of our questions.
I have received excellent care from Dr Tashjian, I would definitely recommend him and his team to anyone.
Listened to me and worked through my concerns
Knows what he is doing, friendly.
Dr. Tashjian has always been a great listener and conservative in his treatments. He is honest and straight forward, cares deeply about the work he does!
Carefully explained where and why the pain existed in my shoulder and the options to improve and or eliminate the issue. Very helpful and super nice!!
This is my second shoulder replacement. I will not go anywhere else.
He explained things very clearly so I could understand things.
Very experienced, knowledgeable and patient.
Doc is amazing! And his knowledge is unbelievable! Thanks for everything again.
Day of surgery I didnt get an opportunity to talk with Tashjian or ask questions. Once I signed consent forms I was taken into surgery and a mask was placed on me to put me to sleep.
I have had three (3) major surgeries with Dr. Tashjian. They have been successful. I trust him.
Extremely professional and a class A surgeon!!
Dr. Tashjian is always very Helpful and Professional any time I see him in person or via Virtual Visits. :)
I am very satisfied with the care I received from Dr. Tashjian. He is an excellent surgeon and his care team is also excellent. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my shoulder surgery.
Very caring and informative.
Dr Tashjian took a minute to draw a sketch of the proposed surgery and take us step by step through what was going to happen and explain why. It was a simple thing, perhaps, but it let us know that he is interested in me as a person and not just as a cadaver lying on a table.
I can not say enough good things about Dr. Tashjian. His skills in thinking outside the box are remarkable. He discovered my injury to be out of the ordinary and didn't turn me away. In his exam knew a solution and preformed the solution. I appreciate and am so grateful for his expertise in fixing my shoulder. I know I have a long recovery, but can already tell it will be as good as ever when it is completely healed. Thank you Dr. Tashjian!
He was great. although i would have liked to have seen more of him
One of the kindest humble dr.He is a top rated surgeon and human!
Dr. Tashjian is personable, knowledgeable, and very accomodating.
Dr. Tashjian is amazing, he listens, and discusses all issues and makes you feel as if youre his most important patient. I have recommended him to multiple neighbors & friends & they all have had the same experiences.
He was recommended to me. Now I know why. I have all confidence in my upcoming surgery.
Dr. Tashjian is thorough, compassionate, patient, and an expert in his field. This is the second time I have gone to him for treatment. (two different problems) I am paying out of network prices because I like him so much. For one of my surgeries, he went above and beyond any doctor Ive seen to help me.
Excellent, knowledgeable surgeon
Excellent
Dr. Tashjian is a top notch doc IMO. From the first time that I met him at my pre-op appointment, to my latest follow-up, he has always made me feel comfortable and asked what my wants and needs are. It's been 6 months since my left shoulder replacement and everything has gone so well, that I asked him to do the same thing to my right shoulder. That in itself should show the trust and respect I have for Dr. Tashjian.
Dr Tashjian was thorough in his review and explanations of alternatives. He came highly recommended to me by another excellent Physician and as I expected he answered all my questions as well explained my chosen option in great detail.
Very knowledgeable and got directly to my health status as to pertains to my shoulder issue which was very much appreciated.
He took his time with me, explaining everything that shows on the MRI, and explaining options that are available. Actually, he made not only my day, but my year. Great person.
Dr Tashjian listened to my concerns and gave me answers to go forward with a good decision re my care.
Greatest confidence
I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Tashjian. Although he always seems rushed during appointments. Always left with some concerns I didn't get to address.
Dr Tashjian really is the best!
Top notch
Great dr. So professional and friendly
Questions were addressed and explained clearly and thoroughly. Every step was professional, courteous and efficient.
Exceptional physician!
Treated me with respect and care. Giving me the best solution to my problem I could have hoped for.
Dr. Tashjian had read my files and was very informed about my medical history. He asked what my goals were and has helped me try to achieve them.
He is an Awesome doctor!
The best surgeon in the business
Very knowledgeable and didnt mind questions
The best!
Very pleased hes my doctor
Dr. Tashjiian took the time to listen to me. He ordered tests for my shoulder and found out what is wrong with it, a torn tendon in the rotator cuff. Both Dr. Powell and Dr. Greise kept sending me to PT which didnt work. This has been going on since 2015. I am so grateful I went to him, hes awesome!!
Could NOT do better ANYwhere else! PERIOD
Dr. Tashjian is outstanding in every way. Professional, skilled, empathetic, clear in his instructions and supportive.
Made decision about repairing a ligament without explaining or asking what I wanted or felt I needed.
Dr Tashjian met with me after I had a serious fall injuring my shoulder He listened to all my concerns about my injuries and told me he recommended a MRI. That after his examination he was sure of extensive damage and surgery would probably be needed.The MRI concluded the same, I needed surgery.He went over the surgical procedures and discussed the pros cons and down time.I felt confident in him and knew this was the surgeon I wanted to do my shoulder as it was extensive damage, no matter how long it took to get in. I was in extreme pain and seeking immediate as possible relief. It would also be a long recovery.I was concerned about the wait to get in.I would not be able to return to work as it was and would be off for an extended period.He helped me navigate my options. His team put me on waiting lists and worked hard to get me in. They had a cancelation and I was more than ready and so very grateful. Feeling blessed with all the wonderful and talented people that helped me!
Just wish I could have a little more time with him for my questions ... His staff did answer my questions ....
Im very grateful for his knowledge and talents Kyle and Dylan are both great assets
He is a great surgeon & very helpful
He is exceptionally gifted in repairing shoulders!
For the first time in years I don't have constant pain in my shoulder. I saw 3 other Doctors before seeing Doctor Tasjian. He was the only one that had a solution that worked for me.
Dr. Tashjian s amazing, I will be having a total elbow replacement soon and feel confident in his ability to do it. I have talked to several doctors before Dr. Tashjian and none of them would even consider doing a replacement as they did not have the knowledge or skill to do it, but I have every confidence in Dr. Tashjian.
Felt he cared and knew how to help me.
Dr. Tashjian listened to my questions and explained everything very clearly. I especially appreciated that he was not quick to recommend surgery.
We really like him!
He explains things very well for me to understand. He is very personable and easy to talk with.
I appreciate the care, kindness and professionalism that Dr. Tashjian extended to me.
As I stated before, I had given up hope that I would get help with my shoulder after 2 providers there, a doctor and a surgeon, just had me do PT. I Didnt feel listened to. Dr Tashjian took time to examine me and explain what might be happening with the shoulder. He was awey!!
Made me feel comfortable and confident as to what to expect with the medical option I chose to pursue. I respect his opinion as to my situation above all others
He showed concern for my medical issues. He explained my medical problems better than any dr Ive been to. He listened to me.
Wonderful and very to the point
Dr. T is a wonderful physician and surgeon. i trust him!
He good. Didnt have any problems with my shoulder.
The Doctor explained my conditions in clear terms, and using a model of a shoulder. He described my treatment options and gave his recommendations. The appointment could not have gone better. I look forward to being Dr. Tashjian's patient in the future.
Very nice and like able, good knowledge of his profession.
Very professional as well as personable. Always feel he has your best interests in care.
Dr Tashjian made me feel that my surgery and recovery was very important
Dr. Tashjian has a fantastic bedside manner, and exudes the type of confidence that only comes from years of demonstrated success.
I had seen by multiple doctors regarding problems with my left shoulder, Dr. Tashjian was the only one that could explain the reason for my discomfort and explain surgery to fix it
Dr. Tashjian is highly professional and knowledgeable. His interaction with the patient/myself is very personal and considerate. He will tell you his professional opinion without hesitation. I highly respect him and his staff. Steve Needles
He is awesome and I would highly recommend Dr. Tashjian to anyone needing shoulder surgery.
Have had this procedure before on my other side (arthroplasty) with him and his team. Only slight room for improvement might be that with an overnight stay, I only ever saw him right before the procedure.
Dr. Tashjian is the man for shoulder difficulties.
Dr. Tashjian is clearly a knowledgable and technically superb shoulder surgeon. I was very satisfied with the pre-operative and operative care and with the explanations of the problem, the options and the risks. My only suggestion would be that better written materials should be prepared for peri- and post operative care. For example written or video instructions on ROM exercises would be helpful
He's a great doctor. I trust him.
He was very efficient, while still taking time to explain the problems with my shoulder.
Dr Tashjian is an outstanding shoulder surgeon. I appreciate the way his team works together to provide care for his patients. They know me and respond when I have questions.
Dr Tashjian took the time to explain my upcoming procedure and why I needed it.
He is great. So knowledgeable makes one feel very confident.
Dr. Tashjian gets right to the point and doesn't mince words. He's efficient and thorough.
He was very confident he could help me.
One of the best physicians I've ever encountered. Exceptionally knowledgable, caring, responsive to my concerns. answers all questions.
Very knowledgeable on the subject. Very patient and detailed in explaining the treatment options.
He put me at ease right away from a considerable amount of concerns I had
Dr. Tashjian has earned my trust over several years. He has worked with me to keep my shoulders working and to avoid surgery for as long as possible. I appreciate the promptness and efficiency of the employees and office.
Wonderful person. Was very afraid of surgery. He put me at complete ease. Total trust in his ability and he didnt disappoint
Bright, thorough and informed me of my problems and best course of action.
I am grateful for his professionalism, attentiveness and knowledge. I love that he has created a team!!
As a patient who has experienced major problems with my spine, both shoulders and both knees and feet some care has been better than others. Gladly say Tashjian 's care on both of my shoulders or thereabouts, one with major surgery, has been consistently positive and successful.
Excellent provider, particularly for complex situations
To the point. He's not one for chat but seems to want to help and find answers to my issues.
Very nice and helpful.
I have never been so impressed with a doctor as l am with Dr. Tashjian he is the best. He always has time to listen, and answer questions, and never makes you feel rushed.
Para mi es Excelente MD mi respeto
The absolute best for shoulder surgery!!!! Don't even think of going elsewhere.
Excellent skills, I feel like he's aware of what's going on with me even if I only see the resident or PT
A rare privilege in this day and age to have a Dr. Tashjian as my physician. He not only has superb knowledge, surgical skills and experience, but is also exceptionally caring and concerned.
Very knowledgeable and explained a great plan for pt. To try to feel better.
Dr. Tashjian listens carefully and is very through in his exam and assessment to get to etiology and treatment plan.
Dr Tashjian performed my left shoulder replacement in 2019 and did an awesome job, highly recommend him.
Dr. T listened carefully. He was familiar with my case ahead of time and spoke knowledgeably about my concerns.
Excellent communicator and listener, explained options involved and risks and benefits of each, answered all my questions, willing to spend time to hear my concerns
exceptional and kind
Very professional, thorough in explaining situation and answering questions. Willing to offer less invasive alternatives to try to solve problem first.
Besides good office care, I called back with a question. They took that question and talked to one of the professionals and called back within hours. This kept me from taking a medication that would have interfered with upcoming surgery.
Dr.Tashjian has been helping me for almost eight months with my shoulder pain and instability issues and has shown great consideration and care for my needs and condition. He is very thorough when explaining the plan of care, does not rush you though the appointment, and makes sure to answer all questions that you ask. I would recommend this provider to anyone who is struggling with elbow or shoulder pain. The shoulder/elbow doctors at the UofU Orthopedic Center said they would never give up finding the source and correcting my shoulder issues, where did others have in the past.
He is an expert. It would be good to let the patient speak a bit more about their symptoms and needs.
Very professional
Dr. Tashjian is easily one of the best doctors I have ever been to. He truly cares for his patients and makes you are taken care of to the best of the teams ability. I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He is a wonderful doctor.
I needed a smaller reverse shoulder. He took maticulous care of me. He was very sure that was the problem before moving forward. If I had a problem with his orthopedic background Dr Tashjan would be the Dr I would call. He doesn't rush into making a final decision to operate.
Dr. Tashjian is professional and caring. He listens to what I have to say and always asks how I am feeling.
Dr. Tashjian was friendly, caring, professional and very knowledgeable. I am grateful that he is one of my doctors.
Hes an incredible person incredible doctor. He cares about you. He listens to you and he thrives to be perfect and do the right job. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I now the Dr Tashjian about 10 years ago and he deserves his job its excellent I trust him when he did this surgery and really I appreciate to him as my Dr and I hope he have a good health and always successful
Dr T is serving as a Second opinion regarding an ongoing shoulder malady- I wish I could be seeing him as my primary orthopedic doc- but I live in California.
Dr. Tasjian is outstanding. Outstanding physician, scientist, and a true gentleman.
Provider was very sensitive to my needs to get the exam and procedure done in one visit.
I would not go anywhere else
This practitioner is outstanding. I am myself a physician, who repairs brain aneurysms and have been treated by some of the finest orthopedic institutions in the United States, including the Steadman clinic in Vail. Dr. Tashjian exceeded all of my expectations and prior experiences. He Is truly the definition of a physician - scientist. His level of knowledge is absolutely incredible and obviously facilitated by his voluminous amounts of research, he himself performs. He was a true gentleman during our time together.In clinic where he patiently answered all my questions concerns. My time during surgery and afterwards overnight at the Ortho center was great
All staff super impressive and caring
I did not need them but for many better written documents about surgery, hints for post op recovery from shoulder surgery (sleeping, getting dressed showering, etc) would be helpful. I found good resources on OT issues on YouYube (EquipmeOT)
The provider was great, the waiting time 9triple scheduling) was unacceptable. At 4:30pm I was still waiting and doctor walked to another room to visit another patient without anybody telling me what's happening out there. In one point I thought they forgot about me, I opened the door and notified the staff. I don't know if that helped because after doctor visit they made ne wait for another 15 minutes before to come back and give me my notes or next appointment. I almost left without it. Very bad experience there
Dr Tashjian is an amazing doctor , l have never had such faith in a doctor as l have in him and his staff are wonderful
As said earlier staff was highly communicative from the scheduler through the physician. Once youare in the sytem yit moves pretty well. Sometimes getting in takes a longer time than it should at least to me it does.
Excellent
I love the whole team. Dr. Tajshen is a blessing.
I've already recommended this Dr to those I know and I hope this survey will see how effective he is. He's a 12.
Can't say enough of the professionalism
Dr Tashjian was exceptional, as well as his assistant. I am pleased with his assessment and plan of action. He was very personable.
I like the provider. He seems knowledgeable and thorough.
My Dr and his staff are the best. The U's program for customer service is poor.
Asked for all records, I brought all of my X-rays,he looked at non of them, I was just another pay check to him, he didn't listen, he had no knowledge of any of my past surgeries or current concerns
Dr Tashjian Broke down a couple of different options and was very informative
I've already highly recommended University Utah Orthopedic center and Dr. Tashjian and staff to alot of others in my area of Wyoming.
He was very through !!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been very pleased with my encounters with Dr. Tashjian and trust his judgement and expertise. Every encounter I have had with team members has been positive.
Dr. Tashjian and his team work well together and he is easy to work with.
Very impressed with Dr Tashjian
Ins e a complicated case and it is challenging for me to understand the medical details . I get the big picture but the exact details are confusing .
I would recommend him always
Very caring and wants to make sure that his patients are well taken care of
Doctor was very nice and I clearly understood the pros and cons of the surgery.
No complaints, everyone was professional.
I have no complaints I don't have any problems with any of the things that I expected I will be bock in 2years
As always, good care.
Good
Dr. Tajian is quite simply the best, calls me by name, shown sincere concern, and I never feel he rushes through our appointment.
I appreciated Dr. Tashjien's kindness & expertise.
Very satisfied with the Dr he has treated me before and when needed I will come back to him.
Dr. Tashjian has a wonderful bedside manner. His reputation as an excellent surgeon puts me at ease.
Answered all my questions. Very effective and courteous
I am very pleased with all of the services and attention received at the Health clinic.
The trainer was excellent!
Did not recommend any other
Good
Dr. Tashjan has replaced both of my shoulders, plus helped me with rotator cuff tendinitis from caring for my dying husband. He has vastly improved the quality of my life. I am able to live a normal life and rarely experience any amount of pain. I would recommend him to anyone needing care of their shoulders. I am so grateful that when I explored and found him years ago that he was there. He is a very caring, considerate and expert surgeon.
Excellent doctor, excellent team
Unlike other stellar surgeons, Dr. Tashjian excels both in the surgical suite and the examination room with the patient.
Good
I overheard the doctor talking to the resident? In the hallway before he came in. He told the resident that 51 year old women don't have instability in their shoulders (which I do have and have had 3 previous surgeries to attempt to fix that problem). I wasn't happy that he had already made his opinion before even seeing or examining me or talking with me. I felt he was arrogant and condescending but unfortunately my doctor referred me to him because he is the best and I need this fixed.
Every time I leave the U of U medical facilities I am grateful for their care and professional knowledge and understanding of my issues
Excellent
I felt the appointment was rushed and that Dr Tasjian was slammed with patients and I didn't get all of my questions answered as easily as I had hoped. I am sure that it is not his fault that because of his patient load. it unfortunately is the way of medicine today due to the pandemic.
Dr. Tashjian is the best surgeon for shoulders as I did my research before coming in and selecting him. I was not disappointed in the entire process with him and his staff. All members from anesthesiologist to nurses, to schedulers, to hospital care were Top Shelf.
Truth? Dr. Tashijan KNOWS how valuable it is for me to be able to use my arms fully. Because of my deafness, I depend on American Sign Language to communicate and it is my job, too. Dr. Tashijan has never failed to immediately focus on the concerns I have. He responded very well and I love him.
Very good service
Fantastic medical team.
Outstanding.
This was a very brief encounter to mainly discuss my recent MRI.
Dr. Tashjian is one of the finest doctors I have ever met. I am thankful for him and the excellent work he does everyday when I can get up pain free and do all the things I didn't think I would be able to again.
Great teleconference. All my concerns were addressed and all issues resolved.
You need to have one more option "excellent"!
This is the second shoulder Dr. T has done for me.
Superb care!
He seemed rushed to too busy
I was treated with concern and respect.
Seemed rushed. Had some questions that I did not get a chance to ask.
Dr Tashjian is excellent in explaining what needs to happen next and seems to care for his patients
Discussed the timeline for physical therapy
Dr.Robert Tashjian is exceptional. I saw him 10 years ago for a small problem with my opposite shoulder, which is doing great. He has also replaced both of my husbands shoulders, and one of my mother-in-laws, and the surgeries all were successful with no complaints 10-15 years later.He LISTENS, which is more than I can say about a lot of high level surgeons, and GENUINELY CARES.
I am confidant about dr Tashjian's decisions
Doctor seemed very rushed, possibly because my appointment had to be rescheduled for meetings so he was probably overbooked. He didn't even introduce himself, just walked in the room and started talking about my MRI. Did a quick assessment, maybe <5 min, and then told me the treatment would be there same thing I've already tried for the past 10 months without any significant changes in my symptoms.
Thank you
Good
Dr. Tashjian has given me several options throughout this process, he has been willing to listen and investigate all my orthopedic issues regarding this injury. He has reevaluated my shoulder and added more options to my recovery which is very appreicated and lets me know he's invested in my recovery.
Very helpful
The PA Was very effective and took care of all details to Include sending my Mri, cat scan, xrays and reports to the VA.
I have been very impressed with Dr. Tashjian.He has been great to work with and has explained my options in a way I can easily understand.
I already referred my surgeon to a friend, this friend had same surgery as mine 2 weeks ago with Dr
Dr. Tashjian explained my injury very clearly and any treatment options so I could make the best decision going forward.
Was great from start to finish
Fine
He gave me very detailed information & answered all my questions.
He is very knowledgeable & I really trust his opinion on what I should & should not do. He is the best
I have seen multiple doctors for my shoulder and he provided clear and concise information. He addressed the questions that others could not. Thanks Doc!
Excellent!
Always a great experience with Dr. Tashjian.
As I said before Dr T is awesome & he really makes me feel he cares about how I am feeling.
Dr. Tashjian explained my options going forward. We will have a follow up in office visit in 6 weeks to make a decision.
The Doctor, PA and NP did their job effectively, efficiently and with compassion.
Dr. Tashjian answered all my questions and was intuitive of my concerns.
Good
Again I am so thankful that the U of U is within driving distance from home.
Awesome surgeon the best!!
Good
Nothing but the best! I love my doctor!
Detailed discussion about surgical vs. Nonsurgical options
Dr Tashjian was excellent in his evaluation, comunication, explanation, and treatment. I was informed, enlightened, and satisfied by his care.
I very much appreciate the time that Dr. Tashjian spent explaining surgery and rehabilitation. I never felt rushed and he always spent time answering all my questions. Thank You very much. That was extremely helpful and needed.
The doctor was clear and thorough.
Great!
Dr Tashjian didn't spend much time talking with me other than to assess my situation.
As I have had the procedure on my other shoulder, I already knew what it entails. But it was the same doctor for both my left and right shoulder assessments, and he is terrific.
Exceptional doctor.
He didn't explain how degraded my labrum was or about the mild spurring on my Glenohumeral joint. I would guess it wasn't really bad but it would have been nice to know.
Dr. Tashjian and his athletic trainer Kyle have been fantastic to me. I would recommend them both to anyone who asked me. Some of the best care I have ever received. They listen to myConcerns and make the best plan for me ensuring I am safe and not in terrible discomfort. Very Pleased with my experience.
Good
Excellent job
I appreciate very much the time Dr. Tashjian spends in explaining things and answering questions. It is always so very helpful. He never rushes thru what he has to say and is always thorough in what he does say. He is an excellent doctor and surgeon. Thank you for the super care you have given me. [NAME REMOVED]
explains things well, always asks if I have any questions
Very happy with Dr. Tashjian.
the doctor and all his assistance are very helpful and professional. I was treated with respect.
I had been told multiple times by my Orthopaedic Physician in Idaho Falls that doing a revision might make matters worse. This was very discouraging to me. At my follow up from my ultrasound, he told the PA to give me the name of the doctor that he/they had just referred another patient to, that was in Salt Lake City. After meeting with Dr. Tashjian, I felt more hopeful that my shoulder problem could be fixed.
Dr Tashjian was a great communicator of medical knowledge and was very concerned about my well being and i am proud to say he is my doctor.
very clear and listened well
NO. better people ,hospital, technicians, anywhere else
very detailed conversation which I appreciated
Dr.Tashjian is very competent and professional about what he does. I trust him.
was concerned about my wellbeing
Always the best!
Dr. Tashjian is a outstanding doctor!! Best shoulder surgeon in the west!
we learned more in 1st visit there than we had in 4 months with others
The staff, Gabe, and Dr. Tashjian were all excellent. The MRI scheduling gentleman was excellent too, and very accommodating. Dr. Tashjian spent a lot of time explaining and discussing my results, potential surgery, and prognosis. I had previously scheduled surgery with another surgeon here but changed when I understood how thorough and thoughtful Dr. Tashjian is. My appointment went better than even expected. I am very impressed and look forward to him replacing my shoulder.
Dr Tashjian is awesome!
The doctor speaks very fast. I didn't have time to write down the procedure he is going to perform.
Dr. Tashjian was very thorough and spent about an hour explaining the pros and cons of surgery vs no surgery. His time and thoroughness was very helpful and very much appreciated.
Dr.Tashjian has gained my trust as one of the best surgeons in his area of expertise. I have made many recommendations of his skills for folks with shoulder and or elbow issues. He's the best!
All good
good
good
good doctor!
staff was great dr was kinda rude and aggressive with my injury
all excellent
Great Doctor!
thoroughly explained options, listened to my concerns, and helped me make an informed decision
I'm very satisfied with the repaires Dr. Robert Tashjian made to my shoulder.
Dr. Tashjian is seriously the best doctor I've ever had
Dr. Tashjian comes across and quite arrogant and made me feel as if I were wasting his precious time. I only scheduled the appt to see him at the request of my regular doctor and my appointment was delayed due to Covid. My husband was with me and as soon as we walked out my husband turned to me and said, "I don't like that guy, let's get a second opinion on your shoulder from outside the UofU."
this provider knows how to explains he doesn't beats around the bush he goes direct to the point but always give you alternatives which he says what ever you want I do for you health and well being I put my body in his hands no doubt .
doctor seems quite abrupt and did not inform me of my conditin and other options. he did not recommend any specific options.
This is where Dr. T shines. He listens patiently and answers all questions.
the Resident Dr Base was also very Kind and excellent. I was impressed with both Resident and Attending
I saw Dr Tashijan after a shoulder injury from a skiing accident. The time he took with the history and physical exam along with the explanation of how the course of treatment and follow up was an extraordinary experience. All my questions and concerns were addressed and elaborated upon. I am so grateful for the care and thoroughness he took to answer all my questions and expand upon how he and his team would reevaluate my injury while under his care. I left with great confidence in Dr Tashijan and the University of Utah care team.
Dr. Tashjian was exceptional in his ability to explain and his patience in letting me ask all my questions.
It is with some difficulty to come to SLC from Vernal. In the future I would like to have x-rays done in Vernal, and then have Dr. visit over TeleMed. However I do enjoy face to face visit with the staff. The travel is just a bit of a problem for us.
This was a 12week post op appointment. I was not having any issues, so basically a physical check of my range of motion & then okay advance on my PT.
I have had years of experience with my care provider, Dr. Tashjian and my outcomes have always exceeded my expectations. He is an incredibly skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate Orthopaedic Surgeon. He always takes as much time as necessary to explain my issue(s) to me, listen to, and answer my questions and concerns, discuss my options for treatment, including risks and benefits and work with me to develop the best treatment plan possible. I have recommended him many times. In my opinion, he is a model that others should seek to emulate.
Best of the best!
Dr Tashijan is an excellent skilled surgeon we ith the latest "state of the art" Technics. I feel secure and confident in his excellent care
I've already done physical therapy but he is sending me for another 6 weeks.
Recommend him to everyone!
I am very thankful to have a doctor that I trust is taking care of my health issue.
Dr. Tashjian was wonderful.
everyone is great !
he seemed rushed; didn't offer any explanation or apology for my nearly hour wait in the exam room. would love to know why not one other staff member could come give a hint as to why the doc was taking so long & maybe offer me water.
I wouldn't go to anyone else for this type of surgery. he has also done my other shoulder in the past
good
I like the way that my care was given.
Dr Tashjian was confident and knowledgeable. He explained things very succinctly. I did feel like I needed time to absorb all the information. But, he delivered it well.
all very good
good
I am very happy with how well the doctor explained the course of treatment.
Dr. Tashjian's (and his resident's) very thorough explanations and wilingness to answer questions was much appreciated
Dr. Tashijan is very competent.
good staff / good patient care
always involves me on a decision
Sometimes he doesn't seem concerned about my issues, but I still know he is trying to address them.
I would have liked to have seen or been shown the new x-rays
answered questions fine experience
fine example of true surgeon
was well explained but I haven't heard back from anyone they were going to call me and schedule an appointment
Dr. was direct, informative, kind, encouraging. Asked for my questions and concerns.
good experience
the doctor gave precise advice.
compared to other surgeon I have seen, he is the most knowledgeable. He has wonderful bedside manor!
very good
Couldn't be more satisfied following my procedure.
I have had great respect for Dr. Tashjian since he did shoulder surgery on my elderly mother. He recently operated on my shoulder and it is healing nicely. I believe he is the best orthopedic surgeon in the state and highly recommend him.
appreciate the time Dr Tasjian spent with us and discussion of research
good
Care was great, although I feel like the doctor was extremely rushed, but I truly understand that they are bombarded with patients all day long.. other than that my experience was perfect.. I miss the days when doctors had more time and weren't being spread so thin having to treat one patient after mother so quick.. but I truly do Thank you! I know I am in good hands :)
I felt "a part of."
I felt the doctor could have directed his analysis more towards myself than my husband who accompanied me to the appointment.
As an individual who has, unfortunately, undergone many intense and complicated orthopedic surgeries over the last 40 years of my life I can attest that Dr. Tashjian and his team set a very high bar for the standard of skill, expertise and care all surgeons, surgical teams and hospital staff should aspire to achieve.
Very upfront about the possibilities of having to reschedule due to covid. I really appreciate his frankness.
All care was excellent. The problem was that I waited for 60 minutes in an exam room before being seen. There was never an apology or explanation.
One of the best explanations of everything involved in the upcoming surgery I have ever encountered!
Dr. Tashjian is the best!
he's great!
Excellent explanation of surgical procedure, and staff provided detailed information about patient process. It was also helpful to have everything posted on MyChart.
Everyone (staff, X-ray techs and physician) were professional and informative.
I got a clear and detailed explanation of the options to address my chronic rotator cuff tear and which would be best for my age, activity level, and desired outcomes.
The only pain free major surgery I've ever had. Dr. Tashjian is fabulous.
Because of the conditions that day, high winds and no electricity and that I had just come from Elko, NV , 3 1/2 hours away, the staff and imaging staff and Dr Tashjian went way out of their way to help me!!
Meeting Dr Tashjian for the first time.,He came across as a Well Educated, Caring Professional Doctor! I look forward working with Dr Tashjian, as I prepare for Shoulder Surgery.
very efficient!
He's always in a big rush and talks very fast. it feels like he's trying to get through the appointment as fast as possible. You charge a lot of money for me to see a Dr. for 3 minutes.
Doctor was very intuitive of my past injuries.
awesome
dr. Tashjian didn't seem to remember my situation. I had a hard time communicating the problem to him because I am very hard of hearing. my wife wasn't allowed to come with me & she usually does the communicating. I left there in no better shape than I got there in.
Dr. Tashjian is good. That's why I came back!
Dr. Tashjin has fixed my shoulders so I can do things I love to do without pain.
dr Tashjian is amazing
good
all aspects-perfect.
I would recommend him to anyone needing shoulder surgery.
like I said in a previous comment. Dr. Taijian and his staff are the best!!!
good experience. he was behind so the appointment was hurried. I was a last minute appointment so I was no upset or worried.
SUPERIOR in all regards!
provided series of helpful exercises
Dr. Tashjian is the best. Polite, but also concise and happy to answer all questions.
very conscientious and understand about my need
good
Dr. Tashjian was excellent in his explaining my issues, as well as what options I have for correcting them.
he is the best
It was a good experience.
Very pleasing, reassuring and not stressful. That is a happy place to be in a Dr.'s care.
very good
As always, I was examined by a professional familiar with my condition and recent surgery, who explained in detail everything I needed to know.
Dr Tashjian is the man!
Very happy with Dr. Tashjian and Ian.Think the nation as a whole is panicking, and in the grips of being terrified by the media.
Dr. Tashjian is very up front with any questions I had and explained about my latest x-rays looked Good. And that he wanted me to keep going to Physical Therapy to get my Flexion and Range of Motion better. :)
Dr. Tashijian is a very skilled Orthopedic surgeon
OUTSTANDING in all regards.
I feel like Dr Tashjian and Ian Crossett genuinely care about me and my chronic condition. they both are candid and consider every possibility related to my healthcare.
Dr Tashjian was careful and concerned to not cause more pain than I'm already dealing with. He was working under difficult circumstances. He was kind and careful.
