Why Academia?

"Academia is a special combination of generational knowledge, collegiality, and mutually enriching educational exchange with your patients."
- Dr. Assia Stepanian

The name “Academia” was blessed by her parents, Professors Leila Adamyan and Arnold Adamyan after she presented to them her vision and journey of the meaning of the name Academia:

Generationally, she learned vigorously and profoundly from both her parents, mentors, internationally acknowledged surgeons and academicians.

Collegiality, she created the first in the world web-based educational portal in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery which allowed over 11,000 surgeons from all over the world to learn from the leaders in the field and each other and now serves the largest in the world organization in MIGS, called AAGL. Additionally, she teaches at the meetings, writes, mentors and enjoys working with her colleagues internationally and in Atlanta.

Lastly, tremendously special to Dr. Stepanian is her work with her patients. She sees it as a mutually enriching, honest, pure, and empowering exchange that occurs at the point of significant need of each individual patient. While she is enjoyed by many of her patient as their educator, she considers them, her eternal mentors.

Patients with various surgical and non-surgical gynecologic conditions are often referred to Dr. Stepanian by her colleagues. She is appreciated for spending time with her patients when generating special for these patients holistic treatment strategies and for her skill in implementing them.
