Double Board Certified Physician in Family Practice and specializing in Bariatric Medicine

Since 2006, Dr. Kerendian has helped his patients lose over 55,000 pounds by applying his revolutionary weight loss methodology.

But Dr. Kerendian’s leadership doesn’t stop at weight loss. Dr. Kerendian has established himself as a forward-thinker in pain management as well.

Through the use of an innovative brand of pain treatments including prolotherapy and trigger point injection therapy, Dr. Kerendian has helped hundreds of patients deal with the underlying causes of pain, rather than simply masking pain symptoms. With prolotherapy, Dr. Kerendian is able to stimulate a local inflammatory process around the damaged ligaments and tendons which increases the blood and nutrient supply to areas of pain allowing the tissues to repair themselves naturally.

Dr. Kerendian believes that a patient needs to be treated as a whole human being rather than different body parts or different systems.The effectiveness of his approach lies in his ability to listen to his patients before tailoring a personalized and sustainable plan for each individual.

Dr. and staffHard work was what got him accepted to a Medical School in Pomona California. Western University of Health Sciences was the proper school that he chose to attend because it allowed for a more complete and holistic approach to patient care, along with strong education that taught about whole humans rather than simple body parts.

I have been coming to Delight Medical for a year. The Doctor's staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They go out of their way to accommodate your schedule. It is hard to find a Dr. who has a good bed side manner. Dr. Kerendian takes the time to listen to your concerns and implement a game plan that will end with results. Over the course of my treatment the Dr. listens to various issues I have had and adjusted my treatment accordingly. I have made great strides in my health after attending various doctors with no results. I cannot thank Dr. Kerendian enough for his help and recommend him to anybody that has any type of weight issues or knee pain.

I would highly recommend Delight Medical!

Prolotherapy my pain has improved about 95%

When I first came to Dr.Kerendian I didn't think he could do much for my years of back pain. Little did I know that with a simple procedure like Prolotherapy my pain has improved about 95%. I hardly ever use any medication for pain relief anymore. I highly recommend the procedure.

I'm a believer!

Dr. Kerendian never makes me feel rushed, and always takes time to listen and spend time with me to address any medical concerns I may have.

I consider Dr. Kerendian to be my GP as he has become by go-to doctor for virtually all medical needs. If my medical issue is not within his areas of specialty then he has always quickly referred me to an amazing specialist with whom he communicates.

I live between LA and NYC and truly have found no other doctor whom I wish to visit besides than Dr. Kerendian.
