Dr Artinyan was very kind, and although I was nervous because I had skin cancer (and was terrified of anesthesia due to my bad heart and lungs), he kept me calm and on track and didn't worry me needlessly. He was always on time wiShow moreth appointments. His receptionist Virgina was very good about getting me scheduled, also very kind. And office manager Susan was able to get me kept overnight in the hospotal because I had no family to take care of me after surgery. I was estatic when Dr. Artinyan told me that there was no cancer in my lymph nodes! All in all, they made the unpleasant experience of dealing with cancer, tolerable. I shall always be grateful to them and the Adventist Hospital for my care!
Dr. Artinyan and his staff are the best. I was so fortunate to have this doctor recommended to me by my oncologist. He did a great job on my surgery and has continued to stay on top of my case with follow-ups. His office staff doeShow mores a great job as well. I had a colonoposy done. I have several doctors who told me they just wanted to cut my stomach open but i went with Dr. Artinyan who was able to do laposurgery. This allowed for a much quicker recovery. Highly recommended. Good doctor. BTW: He waa able to remove all the cancer. Thank you, doctor.

Great attention
Everybody is so nice
My dad (doesn't speak English) was referred to Dr. Artinyan for a colon surgery by his primary doctor. Dr. Artinyan was able to explain the complicate procedure to me and my wife which we translate it to my dad. Dr. Artinyan's expertise and confidence in the procedure put my dad completely at ease and know that we have the best surgeon. The surgery was very successful and my dad recovered quickly. The office staff and nurse were easy to work with and returning our calls when we have questions. Thank you very much, Dr. Artinyan and your team.
