Deep technical expertise and knowledge of sleep and breathing mechanics. He brought a second specialist on our call to further assist diagnosis and ultimately identified symptoms of insomnia. He listened to all my concerns, probed for detail and shared his guidance in a clear, constructive and clear manner. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Dr. Kezirian was phenomenal. He was kind, compassionate and thorough. I have only had 1 other experience with a MD like this in my entire life. Although I am not in Dr. Kezirian's area, he connected me with follow up care in my area. He also has a sense of humor. The office staff was very nice and polite. I really appreciate the time and care provided by Dr. Kezirian.

The doctor was great. Very knowledgeable and seemed like a chill dude that gave off football coach type vibes. It was easy to be honest about any questions he asked me and he quickly got down to the root of my problem

2nd online consultation with a dr on the same day! Dr was prepared with all of the information requested and provided as a first time consultation. He seemed to ask all of the right questions and was interested in going beyond the snoring symptom and recommend nutrition counseling to reduce weight (a primary factor in my case). Was matter of fact without being judgmental. I thought that showed a sensitivity not experienced from other health care providers. Dr was also proactive in ordering an at home sleep study Thanks!

Dr. Kezirian was incredibly attentive and responsive throughout the process of my getting surgery for sleep apnea. He did a great job of addressing my questions and concerns along the way. His communication (which was primarily via email) was on another level. He was also very pleasant in person. And he seems like he really knows his stuff. While I may hesitate to recommend sleep apnea surgery to someone (it can be a fairly big deal, and I think people should not make the decision lightly), I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Kezirian. He is excellent.

Extremely efficient. The doctor has already asked a detailed question and explained a concept before the door is even shut… The meeting is structured and organized.

The Doctor was thorough and professional. He explained explained everything and illustrated on a chart. I feel so much better! I'm really glad I went in and I appreciate the recommendations he gave me to go forward.

Dr. Kezirian has been an extraordinary doctor from my first visit through the last. He patiently answered my every question after examing me thoroughly both in office and then with a sleep induced endoscopy. He thouroughly explained my options afterwards and continued to listen and explain both before and after my surgeries. I would recommend him highly to anyone suffering from sleep apnea.
