Dr Najarian is amazing!
All the staff were very friendly, informative and helpful.
Dr Najarian is great and calling and setting up appts is very easy to do!
The doctor was great, and very helpful. I did take issue with the behavior of the front desk staff.
My child usually sees (staff name), but (staff name) had a family emergency when we were on our way up to Akron Children''s. We were only 30 minutes out and Dr. Najarian agreed to see us. He was very thorough in everything that he did, made sure that all of our questions were answered and we would definitely recommend him to anybody else who wanted to see a provider at Akron Children''s.
Thank you very much, we are so glad to have Dr. Najarian for my son, he is so kind and helpful. I was nervous about the procedure and honestly if it were any other doctor I don't know if i would have done it. Dr. N explained the benefits and risks and we trust him completely. Of course it went perfectly. The sedation team were awesome too, so efficient and sweet. Also I had a recommendation from a therapist for some equipment and Dr. N was kind enough to get that paperwork sorted for us even though we had other important things happening. I asked about a recheck appointment after the procedure and they already had it scheduled for us. Literally couldn't have been better thank you so much
Dr.Najarian is really good he was respectful really good around my little (Patient name)
I am always very satisfied with the thorough exam he is given and questions asked; Thank You
