Everything works beautifully when visiting and during the visit to office
Providence Patient
My experience with Dr. Barkhoudarian was very disappointing. He canceled a scheduled procedure without properly informing me, and when I sought clarification, he could not provide an appropriate explanation and instead became defensive. The communication around my treatment plan was unclear and inconsistent, and the way this was handled amplified the very condition for which I was seeking treatment, worsening my symptoms and further damaging my trust in my care.
