Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very rude to his patients...
I had a wellness check with Dr. Arhin but due to my ongoing back problems I wasn't able to get my wellness check done, I tried explaining to him that due to my age, I am forgetting a lot of things and he blew me off by yelling to stop making up excuses!!!... Im changing my clinic on Monday is not like he is seeing me for free I do have good insurance!!!...

He was very very rude to me. Not a doctor I would recommend. Went to a much better clinic with a much better doctor.

Upon my first Visit to Dr. Ahrin I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and concerned with every aspect of my health even what is not visible. I recommend this provider to anyone in need of a solid PCP.

Although I only used Dr. Ahrin for a brief period as primary care provider while I transitioned to another who also practiced the specialty I was in need of, I would highly recommend him to the average person in need of an internist. He's very knowledgeable and personable and it's as family as it get as his wife is his nurse and receptionist.
