Dr. Oganes Paronian, MD

Dr Paronian sits down with me and listens to my concerns

Horrible.Even with appointment you have to wait 2 hours

The most lax uncaring, unorganized dr office I have ever been to! Lab reports came back but they won’t tell me on the phone! Have to wait till next available appointment in two weeks just to know what’s going on and whether I have an infection or not!

I agree with what others have said. Cold, hostile with no personality. On a recent visit I went in for a chronic cough and severe breathing problems. He spent all of 5 minutes with me and was on the computer the whole time. I didn't even get an examination. I was prescribed cough medicine. Two days later my breathing was so bad that I went to an emergency room. Turns out I had thrush in my throat and with the right medication it cleared up in about 3 days. On another visit the pulmonologist he sent me to did a CT scan which showed fluid in my abdomen which he was concerned about. Dr. Paronian pressed on my stomach and said I have nothing to worry about and prescribed a stool softener and gas tablets. I still don't know why I have fluid in my abdomen and am worried. This is the worst doctor I have EVER had. He has no concern for me as a patient and I feel my health is in jeopardy.

His examination was cursory at best; he barely made eye contact with me when asking questions about my medical history and presenting problem, just read the questions off the screen. He became visibly annoyed when I asked for a referral for an OBGYN. When I asked for clarification re: fasting labs he snapped at me and acted as though I was pestering him. Would not recommend.

The man is hostile and arrogant. I questioned his recommendation for medication and he went into a tirade, throwing me out of his office without treating me. I had just been in an auto accident a few days before, was in acute pain and was seeking follow-up care. Dr. Paronian sent me into the stree untreated.
