Services
Dr. Abdulian specializes in open and arthroscopic treatment of the shoulder, hip and knee. He is well trained in joint preservation as well as joint replacement. He also specializes in fracture care as well as surgical and nonsurgical treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. His treatment approach is focused around restoration of function and decreasing pain to get patients back to the activities they enjoy.
Osteoarthritis is the progressive wearing away of the articular cartilage that lines our joints. The smooth surfaces become roughened and cause pain with movement often limiting activity. Risk factors for developing arthritis are obesity, previous trauma to the joint and a family history of arthritis.
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. It has a very wide range of motion due to its anatomy which consists more of muscular restraint versus boney restraint. It functions as a ball and socket joint but has a shallow socket. It relies on multiple muscles around the shoulder for its stability.
The elbow joint is a complex hinge joint formed between the distal end of the humerus in the upper arm and the proximal ends of the ulna and radius in the forearm. The elbow allows for the flexion and extension of the forearm relative to the upper arm, as well as rotation of the forearm and wrist. The rounded distal end of the humerus is divided into two joint processes - the trochlea on the medial side and the capitulum on the lateral side.

I suffered an ankle break (fibula) and had to undergo surgery for it to heal correctly. Luckily, my doctor and surgeon was Dr. Abdulian. Dr. Abdulian is a clean and skillful surgeon. He's knowledgeable and confident and it's evident in his work as the procedure resulted in an excellent outcome. He is always warm and inviting and takes the time to explain things and eases your concerns. He has great bedside manners. His hopeful and cheerful attitude makes a difference psychologically from a patient's perspective and certainly did a lot to quell my concerns and fears. He was also very

Excellent man. Warm, open, easy, and earned my trust immediately. Explains your situation and his plan for treatment very well.
The hospital-run phone system often makes it difficult to get through, but Dr. A and his team are helpful and diligent about communication and treating you well. His office mgr is very kind, and his assistant is wonderful. They were interested in my wellness beyond the obvious, and proactively took steps to alleviate more than my physical pain.
Thoroughly recommended.

I've been in chronic pain my whole life. I've seen other doctors and even had pointless surgeries.
Dr. Abdulian took one look at me and diagnosed me with Hemihyperplasia. My full left side is bigger than my right side which is causing my pelvis to tip and put extra stress on half of me. He suggested I get a lift to even out and my pain was gone along with my "funny walk".
I owe him everything.

I only met Dr. Abdulian because I tore my rotator cuff. But I' glad I met him. He is Amazing, you won't find a better Dr. Dr. Abdulian is a caring, gentle, patient man. He answered every one of my questions and explained them in a way so I understood what he meant. He performed the surgery and I'm thrilled with how my recovery has been. Thanks Dr. Abdulian for everything. Now lets go grab a beer.

Dr Abdulian is a great orthopedic doctor.
He corrected another orthopedist's diagnosis and as a result he made a totally different treatment that certainly wasn't a surgery as the other doctor had suggested.
I loved his no nonsense attitude as well.
I recommend him to my loved ones and anyone who needs a great orthopedic specialist.
Thanks a lot doctor.

By far the best Doctor I have seen in Los Angeles! He is compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable! What more can you ask for? He took all the time necessary for my zillion questions, patiently answering. I forgot to ask him one thing so I called back and they gave him the message he called me back! The last thing he said to me was " we are going to get to the bottom of this together " that was so comforting! I have had this problem since March, have gone to other doctors and none have compared. I highly recommend him! He's super busy but still managed to make me feel like he was

I cannot imagine having a more pleasant experience seeing an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Abdulian was completely thorough evaluating my shoulder and he took the time to explain what was wrong as well as my options. I felt very comfortable and was impressed that he wasn't pushing for surgery, but rehabilitation. Highest recommendation!!

Dr. Abdulian has cared for several of my family members. He has excellent bedside manner and anyone I have sent to him as a patient ends up with great things to say about the care they received.
He explains the injury to the patient and gives them the options and that's where the most important part comes in. Dr. Abdulian won't recommend surgery unless he feels that the surgery will benefit the patient. Several people I have sent his way have gone for second opinions and in many of the cases the patient avoided an unnecessary surgery.
If honesty and top medical care is what you value

Patients beware.
After being referred to this office by my insurance, after a request from my pain mgmt doctor, i was asked if i was taking any pain meds at telling the receptionist, Tatiana, that i was referred for injections in my wrist, hips and shoulder. I explained that my hip pain had been increasing over the year and that i had been born with my hips out of place.
Tatiana said she had to talk to the doctor before i could set up an appointment. When she called me back, she said they wouldn't set up an appt. They were the wrong doctor for me and i should

Over the past year I have been experiencing pain in my left shoulder that has worsened to the point where I was unable to complete the simplest daily task. Just trying to brush my teeth was excruciating. I was referred to Dr. Abdulian by a friend who broke her foot and had to have surgery to repair it. I figured I would give him a try as he was local and came highly recommended. Great decision.
