The wait was way too long. The office is too small, and the organization of the office is terrible.
So to summarize Dr. Sarkis is a wonderful caring doctor, but that does not outweigh the lack of order or extreme wait times.
I really glad I choose to go see Arbella and I would recommend her. She is very nice!

She is a doctor who actually LISTENS to her patients, but the office seems to need a process make over since I have never gotten in to my appointment even within 1/2 hour of the time specified.

Dr Sarkis is probably the best doctor I've been to in my entire life. She takes her time to understand your history first and even gets her nurses to take note of all the details. She takes her job seriously - and you can tell by the way she doesn't overlook anything - something that I feel some doctor's do. She's direct and concise when she talks, and really likes to put her patients in a state of mind that they need to care for their bodies. I was convinced after my first visit that I really need to start taking care of myself - which in a lot of ways - I tend to lose sight of in my busy schedule and life.
She is also a sweet person - loves to relate to you from a personal level. She calls all her patients her kids because she really cares. She'll also admit when she doesn't know the right answer or the right solution, but will always find a way to point you in the right direction to get the help you need.
I rarely write reviews for things - but I think she definitely deserves the recognition. Planning on having her as a doctor for life.

I loved the doc but the wait was long. i asked others in the waiting room if this was a typical wait and they said yes. However, they like her so much they stay with her. I think I will, too.

Very impressed with experience--I was late due to traffic and the staff and Dr Sarkis took me in without problems. Fastest first-time visit I've ever had, and the staff even expedited my check-up when they noted my sense of urgency. Of course they asked a patient if I could go first (very nice of the patient as well...). Dr Sarkis was incredibly courteous, attentive, thorough, and had an almost motherly sixth sense to her approach. Staff were all very nice and attentive people. Overall the visit did not feel like a trip to a Doctor's office, but much more comfortable and personal.

I feel so heard and cared for and so well taken care of by Dr. Sarkis. It's usually a long wait to see her...but I clear my schedule because it's worth it. She gives her patients her whole heart and her full attention. She isn't watching the clock. I love that!

The wait to see her is long because she really takes her time to get to know each patient and make sure that she hears everything you tell her. I can definitely appreciate that! Just plan to be there for awhile, but it is completely worth it! She is thorough and you really leave there feeling like she cares about you! You are not just a number! It's really nice! Dr. Sarkis is clearly a knowledgeable doctor and I feel so comfortable putting my health questions in her hands! I would absolutely recommend her! ;0D

Dr. Sarkis is a great and caring doctor. Great bed side manner. She enjoys getting to know her patients to help develop the patient-doctor relationship. It's hard to find doctors that will take the time to talk with you thoroughly about your options and answer any lingering questions you may have. I recommend this doctor to anyone that is frightful of seeing doctors.

I wasn't sure what to think here at first- I had to wait at least 30 minutes after my appointment time before I was helped by a drs aid (after all my paperwork was already processed, though) and another 30 or so after that for the actual doctor. Dr. Sarkis, however, was extremely personable and made me feel at ease with her right away. I came in for a dermatology consultation and she confirmed it as psoriasis- what I suspected it to be. She continued to prescribe me a few different types of steroid creams and recommended me to a lab to get some blood work done to check for a Vitamin D deficiency. She seemed very knowledgeable and determined to find the cause rather than just treat the symptoms. I was also in a car accident recently and she recommended me to a physical therapist to help with the pain. All in all I felt like she was very sympathetic and gave a thorough diagnosis- I would certainly come back here again.

It was my first visit with her ~ and I found her online through other patient's reviews. She is the most caring, thorough doctor I've ever seen. I am so thankful I found her!!! She listened well, she asked me lots of questions and I felt like I had really been "cared for" by a Dr. when my visit was over. She threw in so many helpful pieces of information that I wasn't even expecting. Can't even describe how thankful I am that I now have a competent, caring physician.
