Dr. Shahe Ezekiel Vartivarian, MD

Dr. V saw me through a long, rough hospital stay. He was always kind and he listened. He even cheered me on when I was able to get out of bed and walk. I continue to see him now. I'm a young person with a lot of complicated health issues. I trust him and I appreciate how cautious he is with me and am so glad he's gotten to know my case. His staff are friendly and helpful. They make sure you know how to take care of yourself when you go home and are easily available.

I've been going to Dr. Vartivarian for 3 months. While I do think he's a decent doctor, I have 3 issues that have caused me to seek another doctor. 1. Every visit I've had, Dr. V rushes through my appoint. Each visit he has repeatedly asked a series of questions about my symptoms (he reads the questions off from a sheet of paper) but he never slows down long enough for me to answer the questions. It's like he's just going through the motions. In a nutshell, he doesn't listen to me and I sense he doesn't care and simply wants the appt to be over. 2. Doesn't explain the tests he's ordering and why; he also gave me a diagnosis but offered no additional information about the diagnosis. When I asked questions, he was vague. 3. On 3 occasions his staff has called to reschedule appts I've had. Once because it was "spring break". Unacceptable. I'm done.
