5.0 star star star star starI have been a patient of Dr. Attarian's for almost 14 years. I have moved from Chicago to Madison, WI and Dr. Attarian is the only Chicago based doctor I continue to see. He is an extremely talented and knowledgable neurologist with a specialization in sleep medicine.

5.0 star star star star starI have been Dr. Attarian's patient for several years now and am so grateful for the kind and compassionate care that he has provided during this time. When I have questions or sleep issues, he provides creative solutions to address them. I very much appreciate his care.

5.0 star star star star starDr Attarian was very straightforward and took my concerns seriously. I felt respected and heard. He was also optimistic that we would have some kind of answers and possibly a treatment plan in a relatively short span of time once we are able to get test results, which is a huge relief. It was clear that improving my quality of life was his top priority. Dr also did not make my gender into a big deal and seemed entirely unfazed about me being transgender, which is something I have anxiety about when having to talk to new medical professionals due to negative past experiences.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Attarian was available at a great time for me and answered all of my questions in an efficient manner. I found him to be respectful and kind. Furthermore, the treatment he recommended has helped me with my issue. Also, @admin, stop harassing your providers about metrics. Quality of care should be the priority, not likelihood of recommendation or numbers of appointments per day/week.
