Dr. Artur Sargsyan has taken my sister away from me—not by ending her life, but by shattering it. Three months ago, my family and I traveled all the way from Los Angeles to Armenia, trusting that we were putting my sister’s care in capable hands. We believed Dr. Sargsyan’s assurances that he could perform a safe, routine nose surgery to help improve her breathing and quality of life. Instead, this decision has led to nothing but devastation, heartbreak, and unimaginable pain.
Dr. Sargsyan performed a turbinate reduction on her, but he did so without taking the appropriate tests or explaining the risks to her. He assured us that everything would go smoothly, but it’s clear now that he prioritized money over my sister’s well-being. There was no discussion of the potential complications—especially Empty Nose Syndrome**, a life-altering and debilitating condition that now looms over her daily existence. My sister had no idea this surgery could lead to such horror, and she trusted him to look out for her safety. He failed her completely.**
Since that surgery, my sister has been in a state of constant torment. What was meant to improve her life has destroyed it. She can’t breathe or sleep properly, and her body and mind are both suffering intensely. Her physical discomfort has been overwhelming, but what’s even worse is the relentless depression and despair that has followed. She feels trapped in a body that no longer functions as it should, and it has driven her to the darkest place imaginable.
For the past three months, our family has watched her deteriorate from a lively, joyful person into someone haunted by pain and hopelessness. Her mental health has spiraled to such an extreme that she has attempted suicide multiple times, unable to bear the suffering caused by this botched procedure. As I write this, she is being held on a 5150 psychiatric hold, a measure we never imagined would be necessary just months ago. Our vibrant, loving family member is now someone barely recognizable, lost in despair and grief.
This nightmare could have been avoided if Dr. Sargsyan had shown the slightest ounce of responsibility or compassion. Instead, he rushed into surgery, neglected to perform essential assessments, and offered no guidance about the risks that have now engulfed my sister’s life. This is more than negligence—it’s a betrayal of trust, a complete disregard for the sanctity of a patient’s well-being.
Dr. Sargsyan’s negligence has cost my sister more than just physical comfort—it has stolen her peace, her stability, and her quality of life. I hope that every time he closes his eyes, he remembers her pain and hears her cries, just as our family does every day. May God have mercy on you, Dr. Artur Sargsyan.
For anyone considering treatment with Dr. Artur Sargsyan at Artcosmed, I urge you to think twice. My family has endured unimaginable pain and suffering as a result of his negligence. Please avoid this practice at all costs.
