I have been a patient with several neurologists for the last 13 years after being diagnosed with chronic migraines. The treatment that this office has provided me changed my life. It's difficult to express my gratitude that I have for doctor Apelian, his staff, and Emily Malm FNP. The girls in the front are always helpful even with all of my stupid questions. Jennifer has always been welcoming, helpful, considerate, and always a great conversation. Emily has started giving me my Botox injections and SHE IS THE BEST. Her and Dr. Apelian make quite the dream team. They listen, validate your concerns, and empathize with your struggles. I wish I began my treatment here and skipped all the gaslighting I received at other offices. I leave this office I feeling like family. I have recommended this office to others with confidence that they will receive the highest level of care. This office represents what health care SHOULD be. I love each and everyone of them.

I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!... and it's all thanks to them. read more

She goes out of her way to help me figure out and manage my headaches I love this staff and I feel fortunate that Im finally getting the right kind of help!

Dr apelian was the first neurologist I saw after being diagnosed with migraines. He actually listened to me and his expertise helped through the extremely difficult time I was having with my migraines. I went from having daily migraines to 1 every two weeks. Due to insurance I had to leave for another MD for the last couple of years. Luckily I'm a patient of his again and I couldn't be more grateful. Again my migraines in the last 4 months have become the worst they have ever been and he has offered treatments and meds my other doctor didn't even mention. Thank goodness for caring / intelligent and empathetic docs like Dr apelian. read more

Wonderful and caring. Very knowledgeable. Clean office and friendly staff. On time and didn't wait long for my appointment. read more

I was really hoping at least for everyone else's sake that had seen this doctor to not have had anywhere close to the same experience I had, but unfortunately it looks like that isn't the case. I can't say I'm surprised, just more so saddened that others as well as myself had to experience the unprofessionalism Dr. Apelian seemed to exude. I read a lot of other disappointed reviews and I couldn't agree more with them. From the complete and total lack of interest and respect while attempting to explain your symptoms and feelings, to the belittling of his patient as if we aren't seeking his medical advice for a reason. For someone who had to go through psychiatry and psychology courses to be in the position he is in today, you would think, or at the very least, hope, that he would be able to show some compassion and empathy, especially with patients who are being vulnerable. I was referred to him by another doctor I am currently seeing and that doctor warned me and told me it was so unfortunate that the previous neurologist he used to refer people to had passed away and to just be patient. I didn't immediately book an appointment with him because what my previous doctor said to me made me nervous. I looked around at other neurologists and wasn't able to find an appointment that didn't have longer than a 3 month wait time, so I took my chances with this Dr and honestly I wish I would've waited to see another one. He would ask me questions regarding my medical history and upon providing responses to him he would cut me off and tell me it was a yes or no response. I'm sorry, but how do you respond yes or no to a question about the affects of your medication? I fortunately have a strong back bone and didn't let this dr or his words get to me, he's just another reason why this world is trash. He kicked me out of his office for calling him out, must've bruised his big ego, poor baby. I wish my review ended there, but nope, he took it a step further and reported false information to DMV who suspended my license. I am not one to put my life or others in danger and would fully accept a suspension, but I've done nothing wrong, he just couldn't be a mature adult, which isn't surprising. I will be reporting him to the psychiatric and psychology board as well as anywhere else I can to ensure that he does not ever speak to another human the way he spoke to me again. This world is going through more than enough stress, trauma, illnesses, deaths, shootings, the world is literally crumbling under our feet, it'd be nice to have medical professionals who actually cared and listened instead of being there to collect a fat paycheck. In short, don't waste your time with this Dr unless being degraded is something you enjoy. read more

My mother was referred to Dr. Apelian. She was elderly and was seeing several doctors. Dr. Apelian was the best of all of them. He was informative, patient, and caring. We did not feel rushed. He explained things when we had questions. And the medical care he provided gave us several more quality years with her. I highly recommend Dr. Apelian. read more

I visited Dr Apelian after seeing a number of neurologists regarding my chronic headaches. He is the only doc that found the solution and I've been headache-free for months now!!! I want to sincerely thank him for his insight and compassion. I can tell he truly cares and shows genuine concern for his patient's needs. His staff is knowledgeable and my entire experience has been nothing short of perfect. Thank you so much Dr Apelian and staff!!! read more

I was very excited and really looking forward to meet with Dr. Apelian. I had wait for a month to have the appointment, I was looking for a second opinion. The whole experience was really bad and I am very disappointed that a Dr can be able to treat a patient like that. He didn't had any interest to talk to me about why I was there and my worries, he was more focus on the time that we had lost checking on the front desk and the insurance. I don't recommend him as a Dr that will care about you. read more

Superb. Smart. Knowledgeable. Current. Professional. Kind. Efficient. Caught things that nobody else caught despite my pointing out consistent irregularities in tests and pursued appropriate testing to confirm suspicions or discover more information that might lead to answers. Staff is professional, efficient, kind, and responsive. You're in good hands with Dr. Apelian. read more

I was referred to this Neurologist by my insurance, I called yesterday and today and spoke to the same rude receptionist named Jennifer. I can't believe how rude she was, she even told me even if I have a authorization to the office Dr Apelian has to look it over to decide if he even wants to see me. I work in the dental field and we not only do we do great work but we also have a great staff that treats everyone with respect. Her lack of respect and response to my questions were horrible. Don't bother going here, you can't even get in the door. read more

My daughter has had illnesses and injuries throughout her short life with no answers. Finally we have answers. Through the recommendations of her PCP and a neurosurgeon in the area, the treatments and recommendations so far from Dr Apelian, she is starting to feel better and be herself again. The office staff is also amazing. Thank you for being so smart and advanced now your field and having such a great bedside manner. Thank you!! read more

I have been treated by dr apelian for years and he has changed my life. I had back issues, headaches, carpal tunnel and essential tremor and anxiety issues along with depression. So much! He has helped me tremendously. He is truly one of the most impressive and dedicated doctors I have had! I'm taking my teenage son to him now for his severe headaches! read more

I'm thankful to be under Dr Apelian's care & trust the recommendations he makes. I have suffered with jaw pain / TMJ for over 25 years. Dr Apelian has only treated me twice and already I've experienced improvements. Since I've had these issues so long I didn't realize how bad it had gotten until I got some relief! He's a doctor I will recommend to others & happily continue to see. read more

I have been suffering from chronic migraines for years now. I've done almost everything to see what is the cause of this constant pain.

Thank you, doctor! read more

Dr. Apelian is one of the best doctors I have ever known. His level of professionalism and knowledge outweighs many other Neurologist I've encounter. For many years I was diagnosed and lived in the mist of the unknown just wondering what was happening to me. Dr. Apelian, immediately send me to get the appropriate medical testing and was able to diagnosed me immediately. I have been under his car for almost 5 years and today I feel better than anytime I can recall throughout my life. I believe he saved my life and gave me the privilege to live a healthier life. Thank Dr. Apelian for all that you have done! Cynthia Wells read more
