"I am a medical professional and am "in the know" about who are the best doctors to see for my own medical conditions. I have found Dr Chakerian ( and her office staff ) to be welcoming and competent. I am very happy to know that she abides by the high ethical and moral standards expected by her profession. She is very warm and an excellent clinician. She has the very difficult task of treating some chronic pain patients who may also have a high psychological component to their pain so of course, as in the case of some previous Yelp comments, they are the ones to complain. I, myself, am very happy with my treatment. Unfortunately sometimes the ones with hidden agendas are the ones to post on this site. And no, I am NOT one of her colleagues. It's good to give positive feedback when it's due!"

"Outstanding Caring & Professional care! - I have been a patient gor 10 years & I have been amazed with the caring, responsible, professional medical care services from Dr. Chakerian. Her ability to involve my family in my care; a non-judgemental & sensitive approach to pain management. Of all of my doctors (5) she has been the only one that truly shows that she cares for me as a person, not one more patient in pain."
