March 13, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Arain was very interested in my condition and hopefully helps solve the small seizures I have had. Thanks
February 26, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERIs a good doctor
February 07, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERI would not recommend this Doctor to anyone, He came in with a chip on his shoulder, wasn't willing to listen to what me and my wife's concerns were nor was he willing to really give us a answer to my health problems. And all he wanted to do was just tell me what I had to do and actually started arguing with my wife when she had questions. We WILL NOT be going back to him, We will be going to someone else and finally be able to get the answers that we need and not just get told that we need to have more tests done, And we will actually be treated with respect and be heard.
February 05, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERI wish that I could have had him from the beginning of my care.
January 24, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr Arain is a wonderful person to have as [NAME REMOVED]'s care provider. He listens and watches and helps us understand all that is involved in seizures. You couldn't ask for a better person to be your Doctor as he never talks down, uses words we don't understand and he explains everything so that we all understand it. He is a true gem and a huge asset to this care facility. If I could rate Dr Arain higher than a 10 I would definitely do so
January 14, 2025CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Arain is kind and caring. He listens to my concerns.
December 21, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTER 1Dr Arain is the best. He truly knows what he is talking about and I can really feel he cares for me and my all over health.

July 24, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDesde que el doctor Amir trata a nuestra hija, ella ha estado mucho mejor, y con mejor salud qué antes, nosotros agradecemos a el por su atención, y lo recomendamos ampliamente.
July 17, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERThe doctor dismissed my concerns almost immediately. He wouldn't listen to me or my concerns and repeatedly asked me if I was going to Therapy and seeing a psychiatrist. He made me feel like my symptoms were fake and didn't matter. I would not recommend this provider to anyone especially any females.
July 04, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERWe trust Dr Arain to care for Clint and all his needs. He never talks down nor does he speak in medical terms Clint doesn't understand. We trust him, we like him and wouldn't think of seeing another Doctor for [NAME REMOVED].

June 28, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERIt was an exceptional experience. I did not anticipate that he would be as generous with his time, be as thorough, or as understanding. He provided me with confidence in my care and treatment. I trust him.
June 25, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERMuy buen doctor siempre contestando las preguntas que hago
June 20, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERDr. Arain is a spectacular physician and the first neurologist my son has seen who immediately wanted to focus on improving my son's quality of life and seeking surgical alternatives when it became clear medication alone could not control his seizures. I am so grateful for his belief in my son and his focus on giving him more options for a healthy life.
June 20, 2024CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCES CENTERI have been coming to Dr. Arian for 5 years and really like him he takes his time to talk to you and explain pains things very good so you can understand what he is telling you. I would recommend him to anyone he is amazing
