Dr. Andrew Ghassemian, MD

Dr. Andrew Ghassemian and the quality of care he provides is a testament and example of poor medicine. His lack of interest, failure to ask/answer 1 question, and failure to physically examine was evident and borderline negligent. The facts: -Physical examine was less than 30 seconds from 2’ away, he never moved, and never mentioned removing the large tegaderm bandages I later discovered still on my back. -Never asked me 1 question -Never answered 1 single question. Literally. 100% of questions asked were answered with: "mhm yea" -Despite lax/incomplete physical examine, made authoritative statements that usually require physical or labs No dialogue occured unless i initiated it = rude, mentally checked out, or unknowledgeable? It seemed to be a blend. Good medicine is a 2 way street involving both doctor-patient. I did my best to participate by coming prepared & with questions. He failed on his end in every conceivable way. Falsely reported exam details that were never performed

I enjoyed meeting Dr. Ghassemian and the associated staff were very professional and pleasant. As Dr. G instructed, lab work was required prior to starting medication. I was impressed with the quick response from the nurse who thoroughly reviewed my lab results. However, following my second required labs on Sept 17, I was not informed of the results until today, Oct 7. After no response to my two calls asking for the lab results, I decided to call today and ask to speak to the office manager. This finally got their attention and I was given the lab results but the unidentified person never apologized for the non-responses in fact, told me if this ever happened again just to keep calling back until I received a response even if it takes calling three or four times! This doesn’t seem like an acceptable professional office practice of notifying patients to me. I really want to keep seeing Dr. G but honestly and sadly, I just don’t have full confidence in the office staff at this point.

Great bedside manner, very caring and empathetic; willing to immediately fit patients back in who are dealing with serious problems if they get worse. One of the best Doctors I haver ever seen!

excellent doctor and excellent staff
