I can't recommend Dr. Paronian enough. I typically only go for annual check-ups, but on one of my first visits, I got to see his level of compassion and commitment for his patients before I even had my appointment. As another patient was speaking with the front desk after his appointment, Dr. Paronian ran out of the back office to talk with the patient again, confirming logistics for how he was getting to the hospital from there. You would have thought we were in the ER for a moment. The man was as calm as can be, but Dr. Paronian was making it clear that he was concerned and personally invested in seeing the patient get the specific and immediate help he needed. I share this only to say: it's more than charts and checks here! He really cares about his patients. This was years ago. Though I've changed insurance a couple of times, I ensure he's in my network. If you're dealing with health issues, the last thing you want to worry about is cold and subpar care. You get none of these at Dr. Paronian's office. P.S. The office smells like a bottle of Le Labo perfume (at least the last time I was there). They pay attention to detail. Every now and then, there has been a wait - however, when you consider the quality of care and the volume of people who choose Dr. Paronian as their primary care physician, it makes sense! P.S.S. I did get the email about the new admin fee. To note, I've never had to pay it in the past so I don't know exactly when that was implemented. However, the email notification I received both notified and explained the fee. They also did not automatically charge me or generate a bill for it (from what I can see). I wrote this review for anyone questioning whether the service may be worth the new admin fee. If you can afford it, I'd still recommend Dr. Paronian. read more

Truly one of the best doctor and doctor office I have been to ever. Staff is great and even the Nurse Practitioner is excellent. They make you feel totally cared for. Also, they have a blood office on site. read more

I feel it's important to warn other patients about this. This Office charges a yearly administrative fee to patients who have both Medicare and Medi-Cal. And all my experience dealing with duel eligible coverage, I have never heard of a primary care office requiring an annual administrative or membership fee like this patients with Medi. Medi are often seniors with disabilities living on very limited fixed incomes, adding a mandatory yearly fee create an unexpected financial burden and feels specially concerning for this population. If you have Medicare and Medi-Cal, make sure you ask very clearly whether there are an annual administrative or membership fee before becoming a patient here transparency about costs should be standards, especially when serving vulnerable patients. read more

Dr Paronian and his PA Luisa are the best GP's I've ever had! They are incredibly thorough. E.g. I've never had physicals where I was spot checked for weird moles. Luisa checks my blood work and makes suggestions- I feel a lot better with Vitamin D and Magnesium supplements. I can't say enough good things about them. They have a phlebotomist in-house so I don't have to make an additional trip and appointment to get my blood drawn. They are fantastic! read more

Had my initial appointment with the nurse practitioner Beainy Ohanian and it was a great experience! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, didn't make me wait, and made me feel comfortable. Lucky to have been assigned to this office, and even though I no longer live in Pasadena I'll happily make the trip over! The front desk staff were also helpful, and friendly. I highly recommend this office for primary care. read more

Been coming here for about 3 years. I feel very comfortable. Used another doctor near by and had such a bad experience that I was afraid to even go to the doctor. The PA and doctor are amazing. read more

Scheduled an appointment with Luisa Schulman, NP. Her qualifications are solid as a Nurse Practitioner! I am grateful to her for addressing my concerns. I was so impressed with her professionalism and attention to care. Definitely, she is a person with high integrity and commitment to patient care. Dr. Paronian stopped by the appointment to introduce himself and go over the consultation with Ms. Schulman, which was a nice personalized experience. Make sure to call and schedule an appointment. Crystal at the front desk really made the intake process as smooth as possible, juggling multiple items to make sure that the patients were processed and seen. read more

Gregor Paronian, MD - Gregor Paronian MD - Internal Medicine Near Me - Pasadena, California

I took my Mother here because Dr. Spears retired. I would NOT recommend this Physician because of the lack of compassion. When she died, they NEVER said a word. read more

Best doctor I have ever had. Dr. Paronian is very competent and thorough, never rushed or too busy to answer questions. I think he really cares about his patients' well-being, which should be a job requirement, but I don't think this is true of all doctors. One nice thing is that now that I'm an established patient, Dr. P doesn't always need to see me for a visit every time I need a medication dosage adjustment or a referral to a specialist - a nice change from my last doctor. I just contact the doctor through an online message portal and let him know what's going on, and if he needs to see me, he'll let me know. Otherwise, he's happy to make a referral or change a medication or a dosage or whatever without having to see me. The office is clean, modern, and well run. There is usually only a short wait after arriving for an appointment. Crystal, who runs the front desk, is very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Paronian. read more

Had 3:00 appt. Arrived at 2:50. Checked in. Girl at front desk said she got my forms online. All was good. Signed 1 form. Was asked to take a seat. At 3:45, 45 minutes after my appointment and watching no less than 6 people arrive after me and be called in, I gave up and left. At no time did anyone say a word to me. Watched 3 employees see me walk out, and still not a word. I picked this Dr. per his reviews, which are great, but didn't work out for me. read more

I was recently referred to Dr Gregor Paronian to be my PCP. My former PCP went to another practice with Huntington Hospital. It was easy to schedule the first appointment and don't have to take long months. The staff was very accommodating and so as Dr. Gregor himself. All the good reviews here are true. He is really very detailed, would spend time to diagnose and hear your story and health questions. He looked at all my lab work and records and showed that he really care. He is very personable and likeable. Im glad i read all the reviews here and decided to get him as my PCP. I wouls recommend him! He is excellent. - Ana read more

Gregor is awesome. He put together a plan before I tested positive for covid. When I contacted him after hours he had a prescription ready soon after. Called me often to check on me and I made sure I beat covid. Go ahead and call your doctor right now and ask what the plan is if you test positive for covid. My wife was told if that happens she should go to the hospital if it gets bad. That is not care that is plain just plain incompetent. Do not let stupid doctors let covid take the advantage and make sure you have someone that cares on your side. read more

I have been searching for the best PCP for years... give Asian, Women, and senior criteria, I haven't had any luck... then I decided to expand my search. I found Dr. Paronian. What a life change!? He is by far the BEST of the BEST that I could think of. I have seen many doctors due to relocations from the west to east coasts. I have to say, thank God I found Dr. Paronian. Now my husband changed to see Dr. Paronian. A doctor who cares for his patient exhibits in these many ways: 1) care heart 2) patience 3) professionalism 4) office staffs 5) follow ups 6) emergency Dr. Paronian meets all of the above items. I hope I won't make his office busy by writing this review. However, my conscious tells me to reveal how good he is so others can benefit from his care as well. read more

I feel I got miss diagnosed several times on purpose. My condition worsen. Looking back I was left out in the cold with my illness. Receptionist were always kind. I felt profiled and discriminated because of my sex orientation. Very bias. read more

I had been searching for an attentive and knowledgeable physician for years, and it was by chance that I found Dr.Paronian! I had initially wanted to see my Dad's physician Dr.Manvelyan, but she wasn't accepting new patients at the time so she referred me to Dr.Paronian who saw patients in the clinic next door. I decided to give it a chance. Best risk I ever took. I love Dr.Paronian and his clinical staff. His office manager Esther is the sweetest and they are VERY accommodating. I needed to get an emergency TB test and they fit me in right away, even before I had established care with him. He spends A LOT of time with you during the visit and makes sure no stone is left unturned. I've never had such a positive experience as I have had with this doctor. Parking sucks, but a small price we pay for great service! read more

My husband and I visited this beautiful and neat office with welcoming stuff, and the most kind and intelligent Primary care doctor we have ever met. We are over 50 years old, and have plenty of health issues. Dr Paronian listened to us patiently, and came up with solutions, referred us to specialists. We had this amazing feeling that this doctor actually cares about us! Office stuff is professional and polite, and you can have your tests done right there. They have an online app, where patients can log in, and see their tests and referrals. We had an awesome experience, and highly recommend Dr Paronian! read more

I am so terrified of doctors that I have not had an exam for over 20 years! Today was my first visit with Dr Paronian and I could not have been happier. He is so kind and understanding.

Best doctor in Pasadena! Thank you dr Paronian for always being there for me and my family.

Dr. Paronian is such a great doctor. As a new patient, I had a few questions which all were answered and explained. He is very knowledgeable and ordered all the tests and referrals that were needed. I didn't feel rushed and felt comfortable. Even the hubby agreed. I've only been there once for my yearly physical but when I was there, I didn't wait long. The staff is really nice. Crystal goes above and beyond for all my needs. I mainly deal with Crystal but all the staff that I've ever dealt with, have been so helpful and kind. If you're lucky, you can find parking in the small lot in the back. read more
