"I literally had the WORST experience imaginable dealing with these people… Dr Armin does not care about his patients AT ALL. If you have had to be referred to a neurosurgeon in the first place, you’re probably not in good shape… you need someone who actually cares about you and your health, and I wouldn’t trust this arrogant man to work on me in a million years after what I have been through. The front desk staff, specifically Marian, who I would avoid like the plague, are manipulative, lying, and narcissistic, and on some weird power trip… Marian will twist your words, lie to the doctor, and sabotage and mess with you for fun. The fact that Dr Armin has people like this working for him says a lot about who he is. Whether he knows or not, I’m not sure, but he should read the negative reviews and figure it out. Unfortunately you have to go through them to deal with anything, so I would love to save anyone else the shocking mistreatment I had to endure. You’ll waste your time and you ...
won’t receive the care and understanding you deserve. My insurance even had to get involved because of how impossible it was to deal with them and they actually filed their own grievance against this practice, and made their own notes about their experience with dealing with Marian specifically. I ended up going with a different neurosurgeon and my experience was polar opposite… Everything went smoothly, everything was organized, everyone was lovely. Zero issues, and my surgery was a success… which highlighted even further how terrible this whole practice was and my experience with Dr Armin and his team. Also, just putting it out there, you’ll probably experience this too, they push you for a Google review at your first appointment, before anything is actually done, and it is also sooo obvious that all of these raving 5 star reviews are paid for, fake reviews. I’d believe the 1 star ones personally, as these actually align with my experience and ring true to how you will really be treated… They really do care more about google reviews than actually treating their patients like human beings, which is so cringe and gross. They also fail to EVER call you back when they say they will, they will refuse to send any required medical records in a timely manner, or at all, you will have to chase them up a million times, and even then, things most likely won’t get done. Good luck getting them to even answer the phone in the first place too. I could honestly write pages about my entire, long, horrible experience dealing with this awful practice, but hopefully this is clear enough. AVOID AVOID AVOID! "

"Dr. Armin is thorough, kind, compassionate, and clearly cares about his patients and their well-being. I am new to the area and having had recent spinal surgery and was very nervous about finding a new neurosurgeon to follow through my healing process. I have also developed some new medical conditions that he is being very proactive in addressing. I left his office feeling very confident that he will leave no stone unturned until he knows and has found me root of my medical condition. His staff is lovely and kind. I truly feel that he is a blessing that has been put in my life… "

"Dr. Armin, has a lot of compassion showing me visually of what my back problems are from an MRI. He also provided me the next step of what I needed to do. His staff was kind, friendly and helpful as himself. It was nice walking into a nice modern office. "
