Training and Medical Background

Board-Certified in Internal Medicine

Dr. Nazarian earned his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Los Angeles and his medical degree from the Sackler School of Medicine. He completed residency training at Huntington Memorial Hospital, an affiliate of the University of Southern California.

His additional clinical training and experience include hormone evaluation, testosterone and menopause care, integrative medicine, metabolic health, vitamin deficiencies, sleep-related contributors to health, and longitudinal management of chronic medical conditions.

This background supports a broader approach to hormone care: symptoms are evaluated in context, hormone therapy is not assumed to be the answer for every patient, and other medical explanations are considered when appropriate.

Hormone Therapy Is Not One-Size-Fits-All

Some patients may benefit from FDA-approved hormone therapy. Others may be better served by nonhormonal treatment, treatment of another medical condition, lifestyle changes, or referral to another specialist. The decision depends on the specific diagnosis, risks, goals, and clinical circumstances.

Clinical Areas of Focus

Women’s Hormone Care

Evaluation of perimenopause, menopause, vasomotor symptoms, sleep disruption, genitourinary symptoms, sexual health, and related concerns.

Men’s Hormone Care

Evaluation of symptoms associated with possible testosterone deficiency while considering sleep, weight, fertility goals, medications, and other contributors.

Hormone Testing

Clinically focused laboratory evaluation based on symptoms, medical history, sex, age, medications, and the specific question being investigated.

Growth Hormone for Short Stature

Evaluation of children and adolescents with short stature or impaired growth, including assessment for growth hormone deficiency and other potential causes. Growth hormone therapy may be considered when medically appropriate and established treatment criteria are met.

A Safety-First, Evidence-Informed Philosophy

Hormone therapy can have meaningful benefits for appropriately selected patients, but it also requires attention to risk. Depending on the treatment, monitoring may involve cardiovascular risk factors, blood pressure, blood counts, breast or endometrial health, prostate health, fertility, sleep apnea, liver health, medication interactions, and age-appropriate screening.

Dr. Nazarian emphasizes shared decision-making, realistic expectations, and ongoing reassessment. The objective is to use the lowest-complexity plan that appropriately addresses the patient’s needs while keeping safety and long-term health central to care.
