“Dr. Aranas is by far the best clinician I've had the pleasure to be a patient of. I came to him for a second opinion regarding concerns a prior physicians diagnosis. Dr. Aranas listened and heard what I was saying, reviewed my records and previous test results, and ultimately referred me to a specialist for appropriate care I wouldn't have gotten had I not come to him. I live 2 hours away and he made the drive well worth it. Despite my medical concerns, I left the office in a great mood because I finally felt heard and included in my care. I can't say enough good about him!”

Dr Aranos is very detailed in his explanations. He answered all my questions. I did not at all feel rushed by him to leave. His bedside manner is calm and reassuring and you can tell he is listening to you. He didn't talk over me but was good at waiting to answer until I was done speaking.

The doctor was very warm, very friendly and made me comfortable. He was very good at explaining my issues and his plans of action are, immediate and long term. He explained the need for the tests/ procedures he wanted done, separating the urgent and the not so urgent leaving me the option to do the not so urgent at my convenient time.
