Vachik Shahnazarian MD

Worst Dr (?)ever
He called my mom trouble maker and who s alway complains about her health.
Seriously? Why are you there for? If you are not a Dr and do not want to listen to your patients, better close the office and go home.

Sadly I only have bad things to say about this guy.
I call him «this guy» because he did not define the word «doctor» to me in any way other than his stethoscope.
I had to switch my doctor and he was the only one my insurance accepted.
I booked an appointment, waited for a month and then it gets cancelled because he was sick. So I wait another week and I go in for a general physical/​check up. (Which happened to be today)
I spent an hour waiting until I finally got in. After I was in the room I waited another 10 minutes for him to come.
Door bashes open and he rushes right by me with his notepad and doesn’t even shake my hand or even look at me. He just says «what’s up» and I respond with 4 things that have been bothering me about my body and degrading my life. (My knees have always been hurting/​I dont feel rested after I sleep/​I have extra meat in my nose/​and I can’t concentrate on simple tasks.)
Long story short…
His response to my troubles was:
You think too much, you’re negative, you probably suffer from depression/​anger, eat some vitamins, and go do a blood test for your knee problem.
He didn’t bother saying bye or anything of that sort.
I left the office feeling horrible and sad.
He made the biggest assumptions about me whilst knowing absolutely nothing about me as it was my first visit there.
I could have literally googled everything I told him and I would’ve been presented with better solutions than the ones he gave me.
If I could rate lower than one star I would.
I have been incredibly disappointed and saddened by his performance as a «doctor» for the past 6 hours and I shouldn’t be feeling even worse than before after visiting him.
I highly suggest to anyone reading this review NOT to go to him for any reason.
Google will be a better doctor for you than he could ever be.
Trust my words.

At Dr. Vachik Shahnazarian’s office you are not treated as a patient: you are family. Starting with the wonderful staff at the front desk doing a great job by providing appointments to their regular patients or to new– comers and never letting anybody down and of course within the time frame that allows. After my last visit which was almost 6 months ago, i was given another appointment for a regular check up on June 10^th. On that day I was out of stateand tell you the truth I totally forgot about it. One day before the new appointment, I received a phone call from one of the nurses working for the doctor, reminding me about the appointment for the next day. I told her that right now I am out of state and that I completely forgot about the appointment: she said no worries and asked me when the next time i’ll be in town so she can re-​schedule the appointment and i told her within the next couple weeks. She was very friendly and helpful and the next thing that happened is that she got me an appointment with the doctor within my time off of work. As for the doctor, with all respect to everybody, i’ve never seen any other dedicated and wonderful doctor like Dr. Vachik. He is super very friendly and when he talks to you, you do not see the BIG DOCTOR who spent several years studying until he got his Diploma, but the only thing you see a very humble, down to earth person who is talking to you like a BIG BROTHER who is concerned about your health and well being. He takes all the time needed to listen to you to know and understand exactly what is troubling you and the reason for all the suffering in order to get you the right medication the very first time to get you back on track and on your feet. When Dr. Vachik is with a patient, he never ever rushes him out in order to get as many patients as possible but instead he takes every problem with every single parient personally. That is why when he ask a patient to do a lab test, that is to keep track if the medicatons are doing the right job to help the patient improving to the best. And if it just happens that one of his patients is having somekind of problems out of his domaine, well he never hesitates to direct that patient of his to another physician with that kind of specialty and that is just for the benefit of the patient so he can get the right treatment asap witout loosing any minute because sometimes se sickness could be very critical and every single seconds count towards either to get the patient into a safe zone or to get him into a dangerous situation. Dr. Vachik is very caring, dedicated and so loving to his profession and to his patients to a point when talking to you you can feel like coming from the heart. As for the parking and again, with all respect to everybody, I think at least we should be thankful that the parking is no far than of couple of feet away from the elevator that
the doctor’s offices. I am not going to tell you about this place everytime i need to visit, well I have to park at least 2 blocks away and take a walk back. But at the worst case there is an extra parking lot at the second level to ease the problem in case sometimes it gets really crowded at the Grand Floor. Since the very first time I met with Dr. Vachik, it was almost 8 years ago, i could tell: here’s a doctor with a conscience and I am very proud of him to be my doctor and I am with him whatever the almighty GOD would give me life on planet earth. And definitely I recommend him to all my friends, family and whoever is asking me for a good, down to earth doctor. Sincerly.

I’m so pleased with my experience with Dr. Shahnazarian. He’s genuinely concerned about his patients health and always take the time to address all my concerns. He’s one of the few legitimate doctors left that doesn’t treat his patients like a number. I highly recommend him to all my family and friends!

If you make an appointment, plan to go there atleast 30 minutes before to find parking in that madhouse because every office triple books so there is alot of people there at once and plan to spend atleast a good hour waiting after your appointment. (Not to mention I counted 8 people in the waiting room with me and they kept on coming in). Especially don’t make plans after your appointment because chances are you will not be on time. ugh.

Please do yourself a favor and find yourself another doctor. This man needs to sit his staff at the front desk down and put them through some customer service courses. Clearly everyone there has their noses in the air and thinks they own you if you’re their patient.
My dad had a serious health issue and it was vital that he received proper care because of the pills he was taking. They failed to make his appointments in a timely manner and continued to blame him, the patient, for not following up on time. Get this… they told him to call the office once his pills finished and so when he did they started yelling at him, accusing him of not calling AHEAD of time to make the appointment.
I’m sorry ma’am, but i recall you telling him to call AFTER he finished. This man has a serious health issue and you need to be CLEAR on your instructions. Please… please train your front desk ladies.
As for the doctor… tears my dads report in front of him and tells him he’s not welcome in the office anymore. LOL I’m sorry that my poor father came to clarify his health situation with you and inform you on the miscommunication between his front desk staff.
Ok MD. I’ll make sure to let everybody know what a horrible business you have going on.
