Compassionate and caring doctor. Very knowledgeable. Friendly office staff. A little difficult finding parking. Recommend without reservation.

Incompetent staff. A simple fax can take them over a week to send. Even more disappointing is Dr. Avetian himself. He is rude, arrogant, dismissive and lacks both medical knowledge and professionalism . If you take your health seriously, I suggest staying far away from his office.

Dr. Avetian has been my Dr. for over 25 years. He has always been there for me and saved my life a few different times.
