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.

How Could You Have A Better Physician Care for You
I have been going to Ara for a number of years, and its always the same. He asks you how you are, how your life is, and how your family is, because he knows that all of those things matter as he pursues his one and only goal, his patients complete health. When you first go, and you are on time, and see him 20-30 minutes after being placed in an examine room, you feel like being frustrated, until you realize your about to have an experience with a Doctor who does not take the quick appointment. Its not his way to rush through his time with you, because he cares about your health, not his billing cycle. This is not an indictment of other physicians, but I'm the healthiest I have been in over 30 yrs, since going to him regularly. And he has the best food locations.

My husband went in for a specific recheck last February and he received NO physical exam just ended up with $500.00 worth of bloodwork done in house. A BUNCH of non-specific and not needed tests were done. Nice Dr. but I don’t think it is being competent with no physical exam done. I tried to explain this with the staff but got NO Where! SMH

Excellent Dr. My husband and I have been going to Dr. Hanissian for about 10 years. He has always been a great Dr and answers all the questions when we ask him. Also he is very through. We would not go to any other Dr. If emergency he always finds time to see you.

Valerie Watters Burke has change my family's health. No doctor has done more for me than she has for me and my husband. She is ultra thorough on every visit. She has found many conditions that could have been a problem if left untreated, they have never been addressed before.

Poor follow up with lab results.They didn’t even tell me some lab values were not within normal limits and when confronted the office manager made stupid excuses for why I wasn’t given treatment for these.They also documented I didn’t follow up with a Neuro doctor when I did,I also got an MRI....all of which I reported to them yet they put in my medical records that I did not....false documentation...I do not recommend them at all.They lost my moms urine sample not once but twice.Do not use!

Due to the development of a number of medical ailments as I've aged, it has become necessary for me to see a number of specialists in addition to my primary care physician. In my opinion, Dr. Hanissian is an exceptional physician. He cares about his patients' well-being, and he is extremely knowledgeable (including current information/data) on new drugs and treatments. He answers all a patients questions and provides reassurances in the face of a new and difficult diagnosis.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Zara Hanissian for over twenty years. He and his staff of nurses, nurse practitioners and office staff have always treated us with the utmost respect and professionalism. We depend on their care and advice. We highly recommend Dr. Hanissian and his practice.

Dr Ara is simply the best. He takes the time to figure out who you are and never in a rush to finish. I recommend him to my mother and brother. We are lucky to have him in our community. His nurses and staff are really nice as well and treat you with great care.
