May 13, 2013

Excellent experience. I have good confidence in Dr Tashjian

May 06, 2013

Dr. Tashjian was great to work with and took the time necessary to explain my options and post-operative care. He also did a wonderful job on repairing my tendon. Thanks so much!

April 29, 2013

With 3 doctors in the room it was difficult to have my opinion heard. I wanted a more aggressive diagnosis since I have already seen several doctors for my medical issue.

April 05, 2013

Dr. Tashjian is the best, he performed both off my elbow surgeries. He explained the procedures in a way that made me feel relaxed and confident that things would go well.

April 01, 2013

Dr. Tashjian is the best! While the wait times are long, Dr. Tashjian is worth it.

April 01, 2013

Dr. Tashjian is one of the most wonderful physicians from whom I have received care. I recommend him without hesitation and am very thankful he is my surgeon.

Felt Like I picked the right doctor for this problem, so far.

March 08, 2013

good experience

March 04, 2013

Given a choice I will not return to this clinic

The doctor has a good "bed-side manner" and a kind demeaner.

February 25, 2013

I had no problems with the health services and care of the providers. It was the appointment process and communications where I experienced the problems

February 18, 2013

I was very impressed with his confidence and experience, even with such a rare issue as mine

February 18, 2013

Even though appointments were behind schedule the Dr didn't try to rush thru the visit, he took time to make sure all our questions and concerns were answered.

February 18, 2013

No need to say more.

January 21, 2013

Impressed with the doctor's willingness to answer any questions or concerns I had, as well as his assistant's time in assessing my shoulder concern.

January 08, 2013

I have already recommended Dr. Tashjian to others...

dr T is outstanding!

October 09, 2012

Dr. Tashjian & his staff, are the first, in all my health care - to be so "patient friendly" ..everything matters to them

October 01, 2012

My dad is a nurse so I bring him with me so that I can understand what my surgeon is telling me. He gets pretty technical at times but I don't mind because he provided excellent care.

This visit was about a study of a past injury, and about the successof the initial procedure.

June 18, 2012

Excellent knowledge

June 04, 2012

Excellent communication with the DR.

May 11, 2012

stellar, I am one of the lucky ones.

May 02, 2012

Trying to understand what I can do and cannot do after surgery was a bit confusing as it was given so quickly. I know the doctor will go over it again, but printed out instructions that I can read would be nice.

May 02, 2012

Dr. Tashjan made me feel I was in good hands and talked about my previous treatment and what to expect with this additional treatment and in the future

Good Job.

all around a terific experience

March 09, 2012

Dr. Tashjian was very good.

March 02, 2012

I've appreciated that Dr. Tashjian very much has included me in decisions along the way and over the course of 4(?) appointments has taken plenty of time to discuss my situation and various options. I feel very comfortable proceeding with surgery with him because he has been very thoughtful about the decision to do surgery and encouraged me to do the same.

March 02, 2012

My care provider was everything that I wanted and needed, my experience was beyond excellent it was exceptional. This is what health care should be.

February 22, 2012

This is the 3rd or 4th one of these I've received in the past few months. It is becoming annoying and redundant. I continue to have the highest regard for Dr. Tashjian and his staff - that will not change. Should you want specific replies and more redundancy to your questions, please refer to my past completed surveys

February 17, 2012

After waiting so long I felt like they were making up for being so far behind, and they rushed me through my exam and appointment, a bit.

February 17, 2012

top draw in all regards

January 20, 2012

I have a high regard for Dr. Tashjian as he always take great care to listen and respond appropriately. He takes the time to fully explain the issues and questions I have.
