I wish every one of my doctors was a personable, prepared and well-informed as Dr. Ajemian and the rest of the staff. He and his staff are friendly and take the time to explain everything to you very clearly and without rushing. The office is very professional, but friendly. Barely any wait time ever. The office is super clean and spacious.

Very nice doctor
May 18, 2024Ali R.Verified patient
The office staff was very nice and friendly. However, it felt like the doctor wasn't actually listening to me and it was clear that he didn't look at my medical chart prior to the appointment. I felt like my concerns were dismissed and was told to "come back if i feel awful", but that nothing could be done for me until that point (despite already feeling awful). Would not recommend this provider.
