“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!”
