Dr. Arons is my Primary Care Physician, listens very attentively to me, and provides his recommendations. His diagnosis has been accurate every time! He and his office personnel made using HMO insurance a breeze. Making an appointment is easy, and the most I ever had to wait at my office visit was 10 minutes tops. I absolutely love my PCP, Dr. Arons!! I highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr. Arons for perhaps 30 years. In that time, he has shown a real interest in my well-being. His assessment of my health issues and his diagnosis of specific illnesses has been extremely accurate.

Arons has been my doctor for many years. He is truly a health care partner and I trust him completely with my health decisions. He is very good talking about health subjects that I have a hard time bring up with other healthcare professionals. Yes, we truly are partners and I trust him with my health completely.

Dr. Aarons is a rare treat. I'd recommend him for his sensitivity, his attention to details. You know he is listening. He cares enough to return your calls, and patiently explaining any problem, answering any questions, or clarifying any doubts. I recommend him to anyone who wants a doctor that is professional with a human touch!
