Dr. Safayan is simply the BEST! He takes his time, he really listens, he is excellent at diagnosing the real problem not just the symptoms and has collaboratively creates a joint plan of action to remedy your issue. My husband and I have been going to him for over 10 years and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!
My annual physical was thorough and informative.
My first experience of Dr. Safayan's Signature practice. I have been his patient for 30 years and am happy with the new practice. Both patient and doctor are more relaxed in the appointment where the patient has extended time with the doctor. I recommend the doctor as well as the practice! Joan Lee
Dr Safayan is a great doctor who really gets to know his patients. He never settles for just treating symptoms, and always strives to understand the root causes of any issues or ailments. He is kind, considerate, patient and is an excellent listener.
Great experience. Dr. Safayan explained my medical situation in detail and had some practical advise. I am so glad that I joined the new patient SignatureMD program that enables Dr. Safayan to spend enough time with the patients.
Great service and help. Ragnhild Malnti
Love this doctor!
I appreciate that Dr Safayan always takes time and goes into detail about the lab results, and that he offers suggestions on lifestyle changes. He's a fantastic physician!
Always fully satisfactory!
This new arrangement of personalized approach works great and feels much better than the old way. It enables a much better care! Thank you!!
I appreciate Dr. Safayan's approach to patient care by providing me quality time to discuss my specific situation to meet my long term health goals. The quality of service he brings by explaining test results in layman terms allows me to better manage my own health and how best to practice preventive care. I highly recommend Dr. Safayan as a patient provider and encourage you to read up on his additional training and how it can support your overall well being.
Dr. Safayan is a wonderful doctor. He doesn't rush through my appointment, asks how I and my family are doing (and not in a perfunctory way), answers my questions and then once he has my blood work, calls to *thoroughly* go through the results. I'm not just talking about reading numbers, but explaining how they related to one another and what the big picture is. Highly recommend Dr. Safayan.
As always, Dr. Safayan is amazing. He's a great friend and an amazing physician. I wish this survey had more than 5 stars available!
I would give six stars if I could! Dr. Safayan is a unicorn of a physician who operates in the best type of old school way taking his time with patients, truly listening to them, taking an interest in their holistic health blended with his modern and ever evolving think about new cutting edge interventions and preventive medicine. I hesitated to write this review because he is so good I don’t want others to know and flock to his practice if that’s any indicator of how incredible he is.
Wonderful! Dr. Safayan is always thorough and addresses all of my concerns. He makes the more intricate lab results very simple to comprehend, so you leave lab review feeling like you understand what’s going on in your body. Amazing care, couldn’t ask for a better primary care doctor!
Dr. Safayan always makes time to answer my questions and help me to get to better health decisions, He is kind and caring.
I wish that I had remembered -- and that Dr. Safayan had prompted my memory more -- that I have been vomiting sometimes. It usually occurs when I have not drunk anything just before I eat something too fast. It's usually preceded by heartburn and then considerable stomach discomfort until I vomit.
As always, Dr. Safayan was engaging, informative and helpful in pointing out additional sources of information. The DC community is so fortunate to have a practitioner of his skill and vision taking care of us.
Dr Safayan is not only a terrific, data-driven, medical counselor, he’s an amazing human being and friend.
Dr. Safayan is my PCP as well as a brilliant acupuncturist. He has seen both my husband who has a chronic disease and I through some very difficult times. He clearly explains diagnoses, advises on a variety approaches and resources. He never rushes you through and appointment and has a healing way of listening. I highly recommend him.
Positive Experience.
The office is welcoming and the waiting time is very short Dr. Safayan is helpful in helping you better understand the status of your help and in restoration
Dr Safayan gave me a thorough annual physical exam. He is not in a rush, asks perceptive questions, and is a good listener.
Great bedside manner. Informative. Cooperative. Great medical advice.
The doctor and his team are the best. They are very carefully, kindly and I appreciate that.
Having been a patient of Dr. Safayan for 20+ years, I continue to trust him with providing my health care, and for my husband. I love that he is super knowledgeable about not just traditional western medicine, but also of integrative therapies...and knows when or when not to use them. Always thorough, and never rushed, I always recommend him to friends/family. I really appreciate his approach to medicine, and always find myself wishing that everyone could have an internist who provided the same type of care. My only complaint is that sometimes the wait to see him can take a while...but he is definitely worth the wait!
Dr. Safayan is a very kind, knowledgeable and professional. For the very few times in my life I felt I’m speaking to a doctor who takes time to get to know you in order to find the root cause of your symptoms to heal you. Im glad I researched and Im extremely happy that me and my wife found him. He is amazing. Also his staff are lovely. They make you feel home. This office is highly recommended.
