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.

Been going to Dr Dobalian for over 3 years, always available when I need and takes the time to listen and treat me and my wife and son. He is very straight forward and honest and tells you what you need to do to get better and prevent stroke and heart and kidney disease, saved my life. The office is beautiful and the staff was very helpful, now with covid the staff works remotely, but Dr dobalian is always there when you need him!

I have been seeking help for addiction for several years and have not done well until I Found Dr Dobalian, he truly cares about my recovery and explains how things work and what must be done for true complete recovery. He has a psychologist on staff and makes clear that this is part of the treatment from the beginning. He does not give out any harmful drugs that can damage the brain like all the pill pushers I have seen in the past. The negative reviews are clearly from dope seekers that Dr Dobalian still spends time with explaining to them why they cannot take harmful drugs and must see the counselors, instead of thanking him like they should, they leave negative reviews, a truly low life action. The office is beautiful and the care excellent and kind, and yes there is a beautiful little toy poodle therapy dog in the office!

Excellent. I have been a patient of Dr. Dobalians' for several years. When I started with Dr. Dobalian my diabetes was out of control. Now, under his care, I am doing very well. His caring advice is always welcome and greatly appreciated. I consider myself very lucky to to have found him and consider him a friend.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE BAD REVIEWS! My insurance is changing next month and if I have a better experience with a different doctor I will be back to write a scathing review and report this doctor on an official basis. If the next doctor is like him I will let you know that as well because that would indicate a frightening pattern of insanity. For starters Dobalian thinks he superiorly smarter than you, condenscends over listening, has a rude, control freak style with a nasty streak when YELLING AT YOU and will never give you what you request. I walked out in the middle of his horrible screaming fit yesterday on my 4th visit, so stressed out, deciding he is bad for my health! At this point I can not recommend him. On a positive note, staff are very sweet and his dog is precious.

I loved Dr Dobalian, I was an out of towner and had an emergency. Dr Dobalian went above and beyond in terms of care and kindness, truly a gentle man. In todays climate where insurance drives the charges, not the Doctor, I happily paid out of pocket and they helped me with my reimbursement and now I'm whole. To the naysayers, I say, listen to the Doctor and quit complaining. And the dog is a good therapy tool. Very clean and smells good.

Very good doctor who does the right thing for his patients. Great doctor to bring your friends and family to. DON'T BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS YOU READ! A lot of people seek narcotics and get upset when they are denied them. Dr. Dobalian only gives them under the right circumstances and in correct doses. He has helped me greatly over the past five years. He's the BEST doctor I've ever had!

Horrible doctor! I will never go back! Makes you come back for multiple unneeded visits and medicines and tests! The only thing he seems to be interested in treating is your pockets! Incredibly rude as well, I’ve never been spoken to in such a way by a “professional” in my entire life! Also, for those who may be concerned, there is a dog that runs loose in his office! I’ve always been under the assumption that a doctors office should be a sterile environment.

Went to Dr Dobalian after I moved from NY, was pre-diabetic, overweight with severe high blood pressure. Dr was kind, compassionate and intentional in his care and medication plan. A year later, my A1C is down 1.7 pts, blood pressure 120/75 and I'm down 80lbs. Dr Dobalian saved my life. I'm thankful that he not only cured me but cares about me as a patient - you can't find that anymore with Doctors nowadays.

I was sitting in the reception area and heard the dr. and his wife argueing loudly in the back. Then he refused to give my grand daughter her birth control pills because she didn't want to take her cholesterol and diabetes medicine. He said he wasn't going to give her the bc pills until she started taking her other meds. She will never go back there.
