After having two previous surgeries on a hernia, I needed a third. I decided to seek other opinions I decided to go with Dr. DUMANIAN.He seemed to know what he was talking about, and had done several of these surgeries before.. a very smart, professional and thorough doctor. I was terrified of having this surgery, and he tried to put me at ease as much as possible. This was considered major surgery and required several days of hospitalization. Surgery was successful, and have followed up with him for the past year. I highly recommend Dr. Dumanian. His whole staff is extremely kind, helpful and caring.. I so appreciate a really good Dr. who treats you like family!!
