Rude!Condescending! Entitled!Disappointed during our most recent visit when Arkin patronizingly criticized our medical decision.His tone was sarcastic and demeaning.He went on to give unsolicited “commands” about our travel and medical decision.That was unprofessional! I am sure he doesn’t even care about reviews. I am guessing he might soon retire, so why not to use the power card and patronize some of the patients……It is time for us to switch to other SERVICE PROVIDERS.There is plenty of fish in the sea. His tone and sarcastic demeanor are definitely a deal breaker for us!

He talks directly with my children about their health issues at every visit. Then he talks with me. He is always open to questions and is very thorough in explaining his thoughts and diagnosis. He is never offended by questions, but thrives on a good interactive relationship with both parents and pediatric patients. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else.
