I made an appointment on Zocdoc, but didn’t realize that I needed to confirm with his office on the telephone to ensure my appointment. So, I showed up at the appointment time I picked on Zocdoc and they were able to fit me in, but I did have to wait an hour. Once I got in, the nurse practitioner did one of the most comprehensive patient history and evaluation assessment that I have seen, and I’ve been to a lot of doctors. It was about 90% of the time I spent with her, then for the remaining 10%, the doctor came in, and having clearly synthesized the information that the nurse practitioner wrote up, prescribed me a low dose of barbiturates accordingly and referred me for an EG later that week. This MD has managed to utilize a highly competent nurse practitioner to treat his patients effectively.

Got some not so great feelings, he was extremely friendly but did nothing of concern to aid in my recovery after having 2 tbi's. Left the place telling me bf I had felt he was a little creepy.

Dr. Chilingaryan was great. He put my mind at ease. Made time for me. Was very patient with my questions and concerns, and was very well informed!
Verified patient
The doctor came highly recommended. I was recommended to see him as a second opinion. He was able to provide me a diagnosis by getting very careful history and spending a lot of time with me and my spouse to get the right history and be able to choose the right medication to treat my condition. I can finally have some relief with my symptoms. In today’s medicine with time constraints and high volume in doctors offices I felt like this doctor spent a great deal of time with me to provide me with his expert opinion and treatments. I highly appreciate his help.
Verified patient
I had a great experience with the doctors office. The office staff was very helpful scheduling the appointment. Prior to scheduling they were very efficient and screened me ensuring that I was appropriate for their clinic. I was told by my doctors that my hands complaints were due to joint problems or arthritis. However I saw Dr. Chilingaryan and he diagnosed me with his electrical nerve test that I have nerve problems in my wrist. He treated me and prescribed therapy. I’m very helpful that finally my missed diagnosis was caught. I highly recommend this doctor.

The visit was very professional and reception area was very clean. And the young ladies behind the desk was very professional. They took care of the patients that came in and they know how to care for you in a timely matter.
Verified patient
I felt this doctor disregarded my symptoms, and did not give me an answer as to why they were occurring . I won't be seeing him again, since going to his office was waste of time.
What was very unique for me was I was running late, and there was no way I would make it on time. He still saw me, as a walk in, and I only had to wait a little more than 30 minutes!
Verified patient
My visit with the doctor was very pleasant. I was seen pretty much right on time. He was patient with me while I explained in detail all the quirks about my migraines. He adjusted my preventative medications and told me why and in no way did it feel like he wanted to rush me out the door to see the next patient.
Dr. Chilingaryan was amazing. He gave me a thorough examination, was patient and explained what he was doing and why. He took the time to listen to me about my symptoms and wasn't quick to diagnose or dismiss.
Verified patient
My initial experience of the office was good, but a bit strange. The staff was very pleasant and nice and they got me into the doctor very quickly. Where it got weird was when a nurse was taking my weight and blood pressure. She began a lengthy explanation of how it was a "cash only" practice and I couldn't use credit card, but there was an ATM downstairs. Then, in almost the same breath, she told me she would take my picture with her iPad, because it was an "all digital" office. I don't necessarily mind paying in cash, but to be an "all digital" practice that doesn't accept credit card seems a bit odd. Nevermind the fact that the only other time I have ever had a nurse or doctor take my picture was when my dentist wanted to show off the good work he did on my teeth. Again, not a bad thing, just unusual. Dr. Chilingaryan wasn't overly friendly (few doctors are), but he too was nice and listened to my long list of concerns. He performed a few manual tests in the office and I was satisfied with his explanations and conclusions. I never felt rushed, but I didn't feel quite as comfortable as I have felt with other doctors either. Overall, I would say it was a good experience. And, the parking was free with validation. If I go back, I'll just try to remember to bring cash. =)

He seems to be a true professional.
The service received from Dr. Chilingaryan’s office was excellent in nature, anywhere from making the initial appointment, follow up reminders, wait time during the visit, the Dr. and office staff. The office was exceptionally clean with wonderful staff. The office is managed by a beautiful young lady named Kristina, which demonstrated her abilities by ensuring the entire visit was met with an exceptional patient experience and treatment. Furthermore, the office is linked with ZocDoc, which resulted in zero paperwork at the time of the visit. Thank you.

Great service & outstanding physician.
Very good.
Dr. Chilingaryan is an outstanding, knowledgeable and caring doctor. He is one of the best neurologist I've been to. He gave me different options for the treatment of my migraine. Most importantly, he spent more than five minutes with me. He is a wonderful doctor, logical and realistic. I have never left his office with confusion, doubts, or regrets. Before you leave he wants to ensure you have a full understanding of any issues/treatments and if you don't he spends extra time to inform you. (The office is very caring and compassionate to their patients.
