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.

The best Doctor. He listens and finds the problem. He kept me from having a surgery that was scheduled by a different Dr with just giving me a shot of antibiotics that cleared up my problem. found out what was wrong with my husbands medications and I feel he saved his life.

Fantastic physician! The specialist s had given up on our mother and wanted Hospice. He told them to stop the morphine. Now she's in rehab planning on coming home soon.. No one but Dr.Arakelian bothered to looked at mpm as agrandmother full of life and demanded the morphine drip be turned of before it killed her.

My family has been with Dr. Arakelian for years. Saved my daughter from an early stroke due to his expertise. He found my heart needed 2 stents when no other one believed I had a heart problem. He was trained at the Mayo Clinic and it shows.

Just took my 82year old Mother in Law to see Dr Arakelian and I have always thought he was a good dr. He didn’t ask her any health questions, took her off Vicodeine with to tapering. Who does that? You can’t tell me he doesn’t know better than that. I WAS INFORMED WHENI GOT THERE HE MAY NOT GUVE NEW PATIENTS VICO, MIGHT HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW THAT BEFORE HAND ......I AM VERY DIASSAPPOINTED. HONESTLY I DONT THINK HE WANTS ELDERLY PATIENTS
