Diagnosis was very prompt and dr gave a complete audio and visual explanation of his findings. He offered the various treatment plans contingent on testing results. No promises were made.Dr Makaroun was very professional and deliberate in his actions. He is an exceptional physician who I would recommend to anyone.

My experience with the doctor wasn't good. He didn't appear too interested in my issues. He would ask me a question but didn't allow me time to answer before asking another one.

Not a comforting personality
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/8/2023
Doctor was condescending and on the rude side. I don't need a lecture on my lifestyle. I need to know what I am against and treatment. I did not feel comfortable with him at all. I would like another doctor.

I wish He pulled My file up, instead of asking Me information. I was unable to express Myself of where the Pain was coming from. I believe I was Miss Understood.

Dr. Makaroun contradicted another's opinion of carotid stenosis, evidenced by independent Doppler, recommended a two year follow up, notified my PCP and offered to review any conflicting opinions. Dr. Makaroun is a STAR !
