Patients frequently praise Dr. Arash Lavian for being attentive, thorough, and professional, noting that he takes time to listen, explain options, and involve them in decision-making regarding their treatment. Many describe him as caring and sensitive, with excellent communication and a supportive office staff, which enhances their overall experience. On the other hand, some patients felt rushed during consultations, especially when presenting complicated cases, suggesting that additional support from a PA or NP might improve the process. There are also mentions of less satisfactory experiences, where patients felt their concerns were not adequately addressed or where post-procedure experiences were subpar.

The Doctor explained every step of my problem and the different steps to help me! He included me in the decision of where to start first and after the procedures to continue if more treatment is necessary! He did not hurry me; he took his time so I understood.

Dr. Lavian is the best Dr. So sweet, caring, sensitive, patient. Spends time listening, answering all my questions, preparing me for what was going to happen for my procedure and explaining everything to me. Just a lovely person and a true professional. So lucky to have him as my Dr.
