Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Shahinian and staff work tirelessly to provide the best holistic and patient centered care in town. This is a family practice that truly makes you feel like family. Dr. Shahinian has gone above and beyond to explain my diagnosis and treatment plan as well as answer any questions. Even amidst a worldwide shortage of my chemo medication, Dr. Shahinian and Mrs. S have ensured I never missed a treatment. I could not be more grateful for the work of Dr. Shahinian, Mrs. S, chemo nurses, and office staff.

Say it like it is
Wonderful team. Doctor and team explained everything very well. Making appointments was not an issue. I don't mind waiting since I know the nurses, doctor and staff are providing the best service to each patient. I really felt like everyone was very kind and wanting the best for my son and to follow the plan to get the best results.

Dr. Shahinian is a great oncologist who is especially gifted with compassion. He tries always to supporters and encourage his patients who get to him distressed, the way I was, because of their very peculiar and dangerous health condition. I consider myself grateful for the help I have received from him and I could recommend him to my closest friends without any hesitation.

I have been undergoing treatments for cancer since January 2020. Having been apprehensive about my illness, Dr. Shahinian and his oncology group have been extremely kind and understanding with my fears. They started me on the most effective form of treatment and I have responded very well. Their office is very clean and they were very fast to respond to the new demands of COVID policy adherence. They continue to encourage all of us to follow the guidelines and always be safe. I am very fortunate to be under the care of such a professional group.

My mother was first "diagnosed" as having her brain tumor coming back as negative for glioblastoma, by an ill-informed health care professional who works with Dr. Shahinian and incorrectly read/interpreted the pathology report. It took seven whole days from date of surgery for Dr. Shahinian to walk into my 78 year-old mother's room (when she was alone) and inform her that indeed she has glioblastoma and that initial "diagnosis" was incorrect, and that she was given incorrect information.

I have been Dr. Shahinian’s patient for the past 9 years. He takes the time to explain, answers my questions, and is empathetic. I’m truly grateful for him and his staff for their kindness and excellent care they provide. My disease has been a struggle to treat and they have all been very supportive from the beginning. I have faith in him and his staff and express my most sincere gratitude for his commitment throughout these years.

I have been seeing the doctor Shahinian for 2 years and 6 months. He is a doctor that is worth waiting for since he does accept all insurances that other doctors do not accept. There is a long wait just like any other doctor but his bedside manner is amazing. He sees everyone that needs to be seen in his office and at the hospital. He listens and explains the care needed to help us out. I would not change him for another doctor. DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT!!!! AND I AM NOT A PATIENT PERSON.

I was referred to Dr. Haroutioun Shahinian by my primary doctor, Dr. Jose Barahona for lymphoma cancer stage 4. My treatment included 6 cycles. During this time my office visits, chemotherapy and labs where completed in a professional and caring manner. Dr. Shahinian and his staff where very supportive through the treatments and the most memorable thing will be their smiles and kindness. When you go through a painful illness; the simplest, selfless and sincere actions make a world of difference

Dr. Shahinian has always been warm and friendly. My aunt is his patient. He takes the time to explain things. If we have any questions he is more than happy to answer them. We never feel rushed and he takes his time to examine and ask questions about my aunt's health and dispenses advice and recommendations about what things she needs to do to improve her health. All his office & clinic staff are friendly. Nurses Melissa & Terri are so nice & hardworking. The same goes for those in the lab.
