Very nice and competent! I wish all heath care providers were as great as this guy. He thoughtfully asked me how I was doing and what the issues were and then conducted a thorough examination and course of treatment.
Dr. Nathan and nurse were amazing. Both were pleasant, personable and informative. The clerical team out front was well organized.
Dr. Nathan was great. He clearly explained my condition and clearly laid out options for treatment. I would highly recommend him.
I was referred to Dr. Monhian to have a large cyst removed from behind my ear. Dr. Monhian did an amazing job. He is very kind and made me feel very comfortable every time I was in his office. Prior to the surgery Dr. Monhian told me exactly how the procedure was going to go and put any hesitations or fears I had to rest. He is very through and I was amazed by the results. This was a large cyst which required a rather large incision but Dr. Monhian did an amazing job hiding it along my hairline. I would be surprised if anyone can tell that I had surgery at all. Dr. Monhian is one of the best surgeons around and I would recommend him to anybody.
I met Dr. Monhian under dire circumstances. I was assaulted last summer, suffering three lacerations on my face. Dr. Monhian performed surgery to close the wounds. He has excellent bedside manner and is a extremely skilled and talented physician. Six months later I had a septoplasty and rhinoplasty due to chronic sinusitis. To date I have had no issues with sinusitis and am extremely pleased with the appearance of my nose. I would strongly recommned Dr. Monhian to anyone for both is professionalism and courteousness.
Dr. Monhian is one of the most talented and caring doctors I have ever met. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure that I was comfortable every step of the way. As a result of his commitment to perfection, I have the nose that I wished I was born with and am able to breathe for the first time in my life. I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends and family.
