Best MD Hakimian,to refer all Neuro patients to. He's patience,kindness n love can make one want to visit a doc anytime. Thanks to him and team I'm doing great.
All of the healthcare professionals involved in my care were friendly, respectful, understanding, and knowledgeable. I was given different options for my care moving forward and look forward to being treated/cared for by any of them in the future. Dr. Hakimian is friendly, personable, and a great listener.
Dr. Hakimian was exceptionally helpful and patient. His explanations of my condition and options for treatment provided enough detail that I feel that I finally understand what I have and how best to move forward. I'm deeply grateful.
Best doctor!
Dr. Hakimian is the best doctor I've ever had. Easy to relate with, makes me feel able (and requested) to express my situation as fully as I can, taking time to explain everything to me. Makes me feel more relaxed than any other doctor and therefore more hopeful about my health situation.
Dr. Hakimian is very friendly.
Dr Hakimian is my favorite. He is the best neurologist I've seen. When I was referred to him I had already seen 3 other neurologists for my Epilepsy. He answers all of my questions and always makes me smile and laugh.
Gave us time to ask and he answered questions .
This was my first visit with Dr. Hakimian. He was very comprehensive in explaining cost/benefit analysis, potential efficacy of treatment, and I would certainly recommend him to other patients.
Dr Hakimian has been an excellent practitioner helping me with understanding and managing complex partial seizures. He has been empathetic, kind, engaged, and open to discussing treatment options - and we are thankful for his help.
Dr. Hakamian is excellent! He is very intuitive! We love him!
He did a very good job asking me about how things were and asking extra questions to make sure he understood what I was saying, and what I had experience. There were some big decisions that were discussed, and he made sure to listen to my point of view and respected my input.
Dr. Hakimian shows compassion and understanding. I trust him and feel at ease.
He was so kind and knowledgeable. He gave us so much time and attention.
Dr. Hakimian is a great doctor as he has shown his care for our son.
Our first time, transitioning care from Seattle Children's after [...] years. Dr. Hakimain was wonderful. He stayed with us for almost 2 hrs, taking the time to learn my sons condition from the time he was born to now. I felt he really wanted to get to know us and cared about all my questions and concerns. He gave us some ideas to try new medications for rescue that he thinks may be options to help. I am so happy that he will be taking over my sons care as an adult and all my worries and concerns about the transition was left on the sidelines. Please share this with him. I look forward to a great relationship to help my son thrive as an adult. [...]
