I couldn’t agree more with all the positive comments. I had Dr Agopian as my surgeon in 2020 at Valley Hospital. I endured many complications along the way from my divitic surgery, and he was attentive and compassionate available and assuring for my recovery. He is an excellent surgeon. I was saddened to learn he relocated.

I have never in my life had a doctor, and believe me I had to many to recount, like Dr. Agopian ?? the empathy ,compassion and care he has for his patients is above and beyond anything I have ever seen EVER in my lifetime of illness. I have been so blessed and grateful to have finally been recommended to this amazing man/ Doctor. He is with you from beginning until the end and no other doctor touches you!! He checks on you every day at least once, mostly twice while you’re in the hospital, I can go on and on, but I think you got the picture ????

Dr. Agopian not only saved my life but restored it to what it was before I had to have emergency surgery due to peritonitis. I was blessed to have had him for my surgeon. He is a brilliant surgeon and a very caring man. I owe him my life.

I have a history of colon/rectal cancer. I was lucky to be reffered to Dr. Agopian.I am free of cancer now! Thanks to Dr. Agopian! He did such a wonderful job (operated on me at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ), the scar is not really visible, although I had a surgery done only 1 yr. ago. No complications, no problems. His staff is very polite and understanding. Can not be happier all together! Strongly recommend Dr. Raffi Agopian if you are looking for a high specialist in his field.
