Dr Kaloostian is far and away one of the best primary care doctors I’ve ever had. (And I’m 61 years old) she spends an extraordinary amount of time with you each visit and is very, very thorough. The kindest doctor I’ve ever had. Can not recommend highly enough.

I am looking forward to how she will help me. I think that we will have fun together. At the beginning of the appointment she gave me 3 words to remember. She said that she would ask me at the end of the appointment what those three words were. She forgot to ask me at the end of appointment what those three words were. the words were Dog, Apple Shoe.

I was very pleased with how professional and kind Dr. Kaloostian was. I shared my health concerns and questions with her and she expressed interest and also asked follow-up questions in order to help me find answers. She explained what blood tests she would be ordering for me so that we could analyze what could be affecting me. She was easy to talk to and would definitely recommend her to friends and family.
