“He is a classically trained rheumatologist, with great credentials, but he understands that there are merits to both the Eastern and Western approaches to medicine. Most importantly, he listens to the patient. If you have a complex rheumatological issue, I would highly recommend you see Dr. Zarbalian.”

“Put simply, Dr. Zarbalian saved my life. His responsiveness, willingness to try new treatments, and holistic approach is so novel. I feel better after treatment sessions, where he does acupuncture, cupping, and white cupping. He's realistic about use of western medicine with the benefit of an additional eastern holistic approach. I never feel uncomfortable asking him questions or requesting certain treatment.”
