I was unable to swallow food without choking. Doctor refused to stop trying to figure it out. When more symptoms appeared, he sent me straight to the hospital. There they found two very big ulcers. If doctor had not sent me, I literally would have died. Not many doctors care anymore. Dr. S cares and will go the extra mile to make sure you get better. Forever grateful. read more

Well he just hung up on me while I was talking to him about my situation saying make an appointment and hung up! that should tell you enough about him. I just switched my Dr to someone else. To give you more details about him he doesnt really do anything except for assigning medications. No digging deeper, no follow ups, no recommendations, nothing. read more

My wife and I are his patients for years and we are very happy with him. He spends a quality time in the room with listening and responding fairly. He calls patients directly with their test results. The front desk is responsive and helpful. read more

I called the office to make an appointment, and the front desk lady said I couldn't go because I was coughing. She said you're sick. Please don't come here and make us all sick. So be aware that if you are sick, you cannot go to this doctor. You can only go to this doctor if you are filling all good and have no sickness. This is so frustrating that the doctor doesn't want to see you because you are coughing or you feel sick. Why do we need to see the doctor if we're in a good condition? read more

Very rude staff and unknowledgeable Dr! For years our family was his patients and he never treated the way a normal Dr would do! My sister had skin issues for years and he never tried to send her to a dermatologist to properly get checked, he just tried prescribing different creams every time she went to him! My mom had severe joint pain to the point that her knee was swollen and he again didnt bother to send her to a therapy nor prescribing any anti-inflammatory medications! His response was 'its aging' 'you should go swimming or work out' very funny! As soon as we changed to another PCP everything got taken care of in the first visit! I guess he just doesnt care about his patients! read more

I have been visiting Dr. Shahnazarians office for a few years for my father. I haven't had a great experience with the staff since the doctor hired a girl named Christin. She is such an amazing person, very knowledgeable and sweet. I have a hard time dealing with the others due to their lack of English and Armenian, not to mention their unprofessionalism. If it wasn't for Christin I would have change my fathers doctor. If anyone has any questions office related or relating to medicine she is the one to go too. Hope my review helps anyone who had a bad experience at this office. read more

Do t waste your time here. He's an old grumpy doctor that wouldn't go the extra mile to help you. Maybe if you have a cold and need antibiotics. read more

Dr himself is a good and knowledgeable individual but majority of the office staff are rude, I just got yelled at by the secretary over the phone read more

(((((SARINEH))))Whenever I call this office, a girl named Sarin, I remind her that Sarin is a very bad-mannered girl, she doesn't know how to talk to the patient and always fights with the patient, this is wrong in everyone's opinion. Write so that everyone can read and understand read more

The front desk workers don't know how to RESPECT the customer, very disappointed plus they don't know how to talk on the phone calls they are really rude and they just hung up on you. The customer service and front desk workers work are veryyyyyyyy pooorrrrrrrr plus hate them and their attitude is zero read more

Dr. Shahnazarian is very good professional informative and patient. Explains all your questions and concerns very well. Along with his staff make necessary follow up phone calls and treat his patients with great care. Thank you doctor really appreciate your work. read more

The secretaries of this doctor are very rude and do not speak properly with the patients at all... I called to make an appointment, it says that your name is not in our system, and after half an hour waste my time she says that it was a mistake, and their attitude is not good at all. i think Dr Vachik should Take action on the problem read more

I had an excellent experience with this Dr. and her staff. They were quick to make my appointment. The front staff was profesional and nice. When I came in for the appointment, they took me In Quickly. The Dr. answered my questions. Overall, great experience. I will be coming back again. read more

This doctor does not do anything. Anything you ask him he just uses ANXIETY or STRESS as a diagnosis. Like seriously please dont go to him.

I wish there were an option for ZERO star for this doctor. He is so rude and disrespectful. Many years ago when I was on Medical and asked him to issue me an authorization to see an orthopedist he got so mad at me and kick me out of his office (shouting at me). He definitely has some psychological issues.Find a better doctor . read more

Please do yourself a favor and find yourself another doctor. This man needs to sit his staff at the front desk down and put them through some customer service courses. Clearly everyone there has their noses in the air and thinks they own you if you're their patient. My dad had a serious health issue and it was vital that he received proper care because of the pills he was taking. They failed to make his appointments in a timely manner and continued to blame him, the patient, for not following up on time. Get this...they told him to call the office once his pills finished and so when he did they started yelling at him, accusing him of not calling AHEAD of time to make the appointment. I'm sorry ma'am, but i recall you telling him to call AFTER he finished. This man has a serious health issue and you need to be CLEAR on your instructions. Please...please train your front desk ladies. As for the doctor...tears my dads report in front of him and tells him he's not welcome in the office anymore. LOL I'm sorry that my poor father came to clarify his health situation with you and inform you on the miscommunication between his front desk staff. Ok MD. I'll make sure to let everybody know what a horrible business you have going on. read more

I would give negative star if I could. Take your family to another doctor if you care about them. The front desk workers don't know any thing about their job. It's like a hangout place for them who supposedly "work" there, where they just sit around and talk with each other. And the "doctor" who without his tablet can't do his job. Very unprofessional and poor clinic. The staff there is just there to provide false services. read more

Sadly I only have bad things to say about this guy. I call him "this guy" because he did not define the word "doctor" to me in any way other than his stethoscope. I had to switch my doctor and he was the only one my insurance accepted. I booked an appointment, waited for a month and then it gets cancelled because he was sick. So I wait another week and I go in for a general physical/check up. (Which happened to be today) I spent an hour waiting until I finally got in. After I was in the room I waited another 10 minutes for him to come. Door bashes open and he rushes right by me with his notepad and doesn't even shake my hand or even look at me. He just says "what's up" and I respond with 4 things that have been bothering me about my body and degrading my life. (My knees have always been hurting/I dont feel rested after I sleep/I have extra meat in my nose/and I can't concentrate on simple tasks.) Long story short...... His response to my troubles was: You think too much, you're negative, you probably suffer from depression/anger, eat some vitamins, and go do a blood test for your knee problem. He didn't bother saying bye or anything of that sort. I left the office feeling horrible and sad. He made the biggest assumptions about me whilst knowing absolutely nothing about me as it was my first visit there. I could have literally googled everything I told him and I would've been presented with better solutions than the ones he gave me. If I could rate lower than one star I would. I have been incredibly disappointed and saddened by his performance as a "doctor" for the past 6 hours and I shouldn't be feeling even worse than before after visiting him. I highly suggest to anyone reading this review NOT to go to him for any reason. Google will be a better doctor for you than he could ever be. Trust my words. read more

Do you remember a time, not too long ago where you felt doctor's truly cared and you were more than a number or an insurance card to them. Well, as I entered Dr. Shahnazarian's office, I felt as if I was back in that era. From the warm and helpful staff to the dept of Dr. Shahnazarian's knowledge, I felt safe and in the right hands. After a thorough examination, Dr. Shahnazarian told me that I was dealing with TMJ and not an ear infection I had previously thought. He spent a long time explaining the anatomy of my ear and gave me various options and recommendations. If every doctor and every human would care so much as Dr. Shahnazrian, this would truly be a wonderful world. read more

So 4 stars for the doctor and the receptionist. Took off one star because the lady that takes your blood and blood pressure is so rude! That lady doesn't smile, doesn't greet you. She is so monotone and cold that she really is working in the wrong business. The way she waits for you to lift up your sleeve and stuff, you can see in her eyes she wants to scream "hurry the F up" she had that kind of attitude. The doctor is so nice and comforting when he speaks to you and he's very sweet. But that lady, OMG. I can't believe her behavior is tolerated. Really her manners were so disgusting that I will never go there again. read more

I'm so pleased with my experience with Dr. Shahnazarian. He's genuinely concerned about his patients health and always take the time to address all my concerns. He's one of the few legitimate doctors left that doesn't treat his patients like a number. I highly recommend him to all my family and friends! read more

Dr Shahnazarian is a caring and very knowledgeable doctor. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good family physician.

Excellent doctor and very friendly staff. He explained everything to me and he was very caring and friendly. He personally called me when my lab results came in and told me the results. I'm very happy with this office. Highly recommended. read more

Shahnazarians staff...how did he find this bunch of idiots ,they're rude ,ignorant ,specially the front desks small shrimp.or the one who takes blood,she must be having bad days ,like forever , she looked at you like the Turk to a pork meet.very unpleasant atmosphere with this doctor and his staff.. read more

At Dr. Vachik Shahnazarian's office you are not treated as a patient: you are family. Starting with the wonderful staff at the front desk doing a great job by providing appointments to their regular patients or to new- comers and never letting anybody down and of course within the time frame that allows. After my last visit which was almost 6 months ago, i was given another appointment for a regular check up on June 10th. On that day I was out of stateand tell you the truth I totally forgot about it. One day before the new appointment, I received a phone call from one of the nurses working for the doctor, reminding me about the appointment for the next day. I told her that right now I am out of state and that I completely forgot about the appointment: she said no worries and asked me when the next time i'll be in town so she can re-schedule the appointment and i told her within the next couple weeks. She was very friendly and helpful and the next thing that happened is that she got me an appointment with the doctor within my time off of work. As for the doctor, with all respect to everybody, i've never seen any other dedicated and wonderful doctor like Dr. Vachik. He is super very friendly and when he talks to you, you do not see the BIG DOCTOR who spent several years studying until he got his Diploma, but the only thing you see a very humble, down to earth person who is talking to you like a BIG BROTHER who is concerned about your health and well being. He takes all the time needed to listen to you to know and understand exactly what is troubling you and the reason for all the suffering in order to get you the right medication the very first time to get you back on track and on your feet. When Dr. Vachik is with a patient, he never ever rushes him out in order to get as many patients as possible but instead he takes every problem with every single parient personally. That is why when he ask a patient to do a lab test, that is to keep track if the medicatons are doing the right job to help the patient improving to the best. And if it just happens that one of his patients is having somekind of problems out of his domaine, well he never hesitates to direct that patient of his to another physician with that kind of specialty and that is just for the benefit of the patient so he can get the right treatment asap witout loosing any minute because sometimes se sickness could be very critical and every single seconds count towards either to get the patient into a safe zone or to get him into a dangerous situation. Dr. Vachik is very caring, dedicated and so loving to his profession and to his patients to a point when talking to you you can feel like coming from the heart. As for the parking and again, with all respect to everybody, I think at least we should be thankful that the parking is no far than of couple of feet away from the elevator that leads.to the doctor's offices. I am not going to tell you about this place everytime i need to visit, well I have to park at least 2 blocks away and take a walk back. But at the worst case there is an extra parking lot at the second level to ease the problem in case sometimes it gets really crowded at the Grand Floor. Since the very first time I met with Dr. Vachik, it was almost 8 years ago, i could tell: here's a doctor with a conscience and I am very proud of him to be my doctor and I am with him whatever the almighty GOD would give me life on planet earth. And definitely I recommend him to all my friends, family and whoever is asking me for a good, down to earth doctor. Sincerly. read more

I am grateful for Dr. Shahnazarian's considerable professional skilIs, deep compassion, and--because I tend to be too serious and pessimistic--his light touch. I used to be a staff writer for a nationally syndicated health and medical column, and so I believe I have some idea of what excellent healthcare is, and Dr. Shahnazarian fits all these descriptions: the great physician truly cares about his or her patients, regardless of their station in life; spends time talking with them about both the current complaint and what else may be going on in their life that affects their health; and has a deep and abiding kindness, concern, and respect for those seen in the office. Dr. Shahnazarian is not in the health plan my employer provided me, but when that large organization fails my expectations--which is more often than I would like--I immediately call his office for an appointment. As with any loyal practice, I sometimes have to wait a few minutes; and I suspect I am the cause for some others waiting for me to finish my own list of woes. But this is in stark contrast to other places where I have felt rushed. I feel fortunate to know him: he has, literally, saved my life. read more
