Andrew Ghassemian's Online Review Report Card

I really like him! I think he is thorough and kind.

Have been going here for over ten years. The office was always rude, snobby and often unprofessional. But we really favored the care we would receive from Dr. Gassemian. I’m not sure what has happened but he seems totally burnt out. Last couple of office visits have been very rushed and his positive bedside manner is gone. Also, Dr. Gassemian used to be dressed very sharp and clean cut. Now it’s scrubs and his hair is unruly and unkempt in a man-bun. It all feels dirty.

The office staff and nurse were fantastic, however Dr. Andrew Ghassemian and the quality of care he provides is a different store, I can not stress enough the extent I would emphasize avoiding this doctor for any treatment, even if it is offered for free. His lack of interest was evident and borderline negligent.The facts:-offered to prescribe something for itching 2 separate times, I was there for acne and suspicious moles. Not for itching, which I restated.-didn’t physically examine my skin for more than 30 seconds from 2’ away and never asked me to remove the large tegaderm on my back which I forgot was there-didn’t ask 1 question. Really?-didn’t answer 1 single question. Literally not 1. (responded to 100% of questions with "mhmm yea". that not an answer to any form of question)-Despite lax/incomplete physical examine, still made authoritative statements that usually require physical or lab examination: "you don’t have dermatitis, folliculitis, or acne"I went to medical school which allows me to form educated questions, but not anything not beyond that. I went to a specialist thinking my questions would be answered, I would be physically examined, and some kind of solution or follow up plan would be offered.Fail. Fail. Fail.It was nothing short of astonishing. My experience gave me the impression this is dangerously close to incompetence and the lack was rapport was icing on the cake.I urge anyone reading this to find a different dermatologist that listens, pays attention, and actually looks at your skin.

Best skin cancer exam from any Dermatologist. Very thorough and answered all my questions. I have an annual exam by Dr Ghassemian. Thanks.

Dr. Andrew Ghassemian and the quality of care he provides is a testament and example of poor medicine. His lack of interest, failure to ask/answer 1 question, and failure to physically examine was evident and borderline negligent. The facts: -Physical examine was less than 30 seconds from 2’ away, he never moved, and never mentioned removing the large tegaderm bandages I later discovered still on my back. -Never asked me 1 question -Never answered 1 single question. Literally. 100% of questions asked were answered with: "mhm yea" -Despite lax/incomplete physical examine, made authoritative statements that usually require physical or labs No dialogue occured unless i initiated it = rude, mentally checked out, or unknowledgeable? It seemed to be a blend. Good medicine is a 2 way street involving both doctor-patient. I did my best to participate by coming prepared & with questions. He failed on his end in every conceivable way. Falsely reported exam details that were never performed

I enjoyed meeting Dr. Ghassemian and the associated staff were very professional and pleasant. As Dr. G instructed, lab work was required prior to starting medication. I was impressed with the quick response from the nurse who thoroughly reviewed my lab results. However, following my second required labs on Sept 17, I was not informed of the results until today, Oct 7. After no response to my two calls asking for the lab results, I decided to call today and ask to speak to the office manager. This finally got their attention and I was given the lab results but the unidentified person never apologized for the non-responses in fact, told me if this ever happened again just to keep calling back until I received a response even if it takes calling three or four times! This doesn’t seem like an acceptable professional office practice of notifying patients to me. I really want to keep seeing Dr. G but honestly and sadly, I just don’t have full confidence in the office staff at this point.

Great bedside manner, very caring and empathetic; willing to immediately fit patients back in who are dealing with serious problems if they get worse. One of the best Doctors I haver ever seen!

excellent doctor and excellent staff
