When Dr. Artavia was at CHAP, he refused to let me have an xray to diagnose hip pain, even though he knew I had broken my hip 30 years earlier. Because of him, I waited an extra two years to get a hip replacement, because the pain and clicking in the joint went undiagnosed. He may be very pleasant, but he is a negligent, cruel doctor because he actually refuses to give medical care, under that pleasant demeanor. By the time I had my hip replacement, I was literally in so much pain I could not walk from one end of my house to the other. The extra suffering I went through because of him is unbelieveable. I know he did this because I have my medical records, where he signed his notes that he declined to let me have the xray.

Absolutely the best GP in the San Fernando Valley! The staff folks are the greatest professionals around!
Highly recommend Dr Artavia

Can't say enough good things about this doctor. Caring, spends necessary time reviewing records from prior and current and takes a real interest in the patient. I can go to any doctor but would never choose to leave this one.
