5.0 star star star star starHe resolved a very painful abdominal nerve issue that 7 other Dr’s had no idea why I was having pain, but had no issues running every test on earth and even prescribing meds for diseases I didn’t have. I prefer Dr Dumanian’s approach to fixing the issue and being able to hopefully live a medication free existence.

5.0 star star star star starWe have never had such hope before that all my husband's pain will be eradicated. Dr. Dumanian is so personable and understanding. Every doctor speaks so highly of him, and every review written about him is outstanding. So many people write as though he was their last hope for a resolution to their medical issue, and we feel the same way.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Dumanian takes time to answer questions and gives you options. He is also straightforward and does not give you any false expectations. He will tell you if an option makes sense, it’s limitations, etc., but leaves the decision up to the patient.

5.0 star star star star starVery thoughtful. On Sunday, after I returned home, I had some questions. I found his email and almost immediately he called me back! He asked me to send him pictures of my wound. He returned my text of pictures with a call back reassuring me greatly

5.0 star star star star starDr Dumanian is an excellent surgeon and wonderful doctor. First, his website is amazing - it’s straightforward and academic, and gave me confidence in his abilities. Then when I had a consult with him, he was the first surgeon that I saw for my abdominal hernia issues, who I feel actually understood my situation and was compassionate and caring, wanted to help, and had a plan. I flew in from out of state to have him perform my surgery. When I had surgery, I Continued to be impressed - I had pretty extensive surgery (in my opinion) and I was pleased and suprised at how well my recovery and healing has progressed. He and his staff are impressive.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
