Dr. Creed Mamikunian

I've never written a review like this before, but I've never had an experience like this! It started with an unexplained sharp sudden pain in my ear, that grew worse by the hour. I'd had ear infections before, but nothing that even comes close to this. To make a long story short, I visited two different doctors and received two different diagnoses, with the pain continuing and getting worse. By Day Two it was unbearable and I could barely function. I was then referred to the emergency department at the hospital but this was in the early days of COVID-19. When Dr Mamikunian was reached, he opened his closed practice just to see me on an emergency basis. After some initial questions to me, he simply asked, "Where are you located? can you get safely to my office at ----? I can be there in ten minutes. " Within twenty minutes, I had an accurate diagnosis of an aggressively severe fungal infection in my right ear, which had eaten through my ear drum and entered my inner ear. I… had lost my hearing and was worried about what life without it might mean. Dr Mamikunian was amazing. This man tended to my situation, carefully irrigating and cleaning out the ear while I was still in agony. I would never wish a patient like me, as I was at that moment, on any medical professional. But Dr. M. was patient, calming, and a thorough professional. He worked on my ear for what seemed like hours, enduring all of my wails. He would give me a break, and then we would start again. Through it all, he coached me and encouraged me to "hang in there." He later called me at home to check on my healing, and stayed in touch with regular visits until my ear had healed and my hearing had been fully restored several weeks later. There might be much wrong with the world these days, but in my hour of great need I met an amazing and excellent physician who went far above and beyond to serve me and treat my condition. That speaks to his character, and I owe an immense gratitude to this compassionate and skilled man. Character matters when you are about to trust your care, or that of your loved ones, to any physician. With Dr. Mamikunian, I witnessed a physician with compassion, great skill and solid character.

I am a professional who is very responsible with my finances. After an issue with a physical mailing address, Dr. Mamikunian's office failed to notify me through email or phone number (both of which they had on file) to let me know of a small outstanding balance. That balance was sent to collections, during which it increased over 30% of its original value. When I was notified by the collections agency that I had to resolve a bill with them, I called Dr. Mamikunian's office to ask what had happened. My calmly and respectfully delivered question was immediately met with extreme rudeness by their office manager, who was unwilling to speak with me further on the subject. I will never seek care from Dr. Mamikunian again, and would not recommend his services to anyone, due to this extreme rudeness coupled with the first (and unnecessary) experience with bill collections and subsequent negative mark on my credit score.

Stay away.

Dr. Mamakunian is an amazing ENT physician. Both my daughters suffered from frequent ear infections/fevers. Since he placed tubes in their ears they have had zero infections. He also performed removal of tonsils/adenoids from my youngest daughter who suffered from severe snoring and sleep problems. I'm happy to report she sleeps like a baby now. Finally, Dr. Mamikunian recently corrected my severely deviated septum and for the 1st time since I can remember I breath clearly from both nostrils. Staff is courteous and knowledgeable with insurance issues. My family and I are greatly appreciative. If you need an ENT call his office now. Awesome

Dr. Mamikunian is a very caring professional. He gives each patient his undivided attention. He has helped me breath clearly again.

Good doctor
