Being diagnosed with cancer was really scary. Having Dr. Arena as my surgeon was amazing. Aside from being an excellent surgeon she is compassionate, caring, and takes time to listen to all of my concerns, every visit. I feel well taken care of, and tell everyone about her. The office staff is efficient, and friendly. If you are in need of a great breast surgeon, I highly recommend you see Dr. Arena at Surgery Group of LA. Absolutely the best!

My primary care physician recommended Dr. Barnajian and his office staff were absolutely superb. The scheduling, the way they greet you when you walk in, it was as good a personalized service as I’ve had visiting a doctor... ever. Natasha in particular at the front desk was friendly, helpful... awesome.
