I want to thank this man for saving my hand. The glass that was in my hand could have punctured an artery. When he used the ultra sound it was incredibly close to it. I was in at a reasonable time not too early in the morning, I came out after 30, 40 min I was asleep long than I was being sliced. He saved my hand Thank you Dr.Barmakian

I've had the same surgery twice and the second time - with Dr. Barmakian - was a far cry from the first go-around with another doc. He is an extremely caring physician and takes his time explaining exactly what you can expect, and answers any questions you have. He's such a warm and friendly person with so much knowledge & experience! I am truly pleased that he was my doctor and took such good care of me - especially since I am a righty and he did surgery on my right finger.

Doctor is very courteous and professional. Diagnosed the problem (tennis elbow) and recommended a course of action. Excellent bedside manner and friendly disposition. I would highly recommend. Also treated my daughter for wrist injury with similar positive results.
