Grace Ahn, MD
The office staff was welcoming and checked me in quickly. I was called back on time to see Dr. Ahn. Dr. Ahn is very caring and supportive. She doesn’t rush through appointments and is very thorough. She evaluates your needs as a whole person, not just what you’re seeing her for.

She is such a great Dr. She explained my test results carefully and we talked about my medication. She apologized for being late ( maybe 15 minutes)- I don’t remember any other doctor apologizing for being late even when it’s been 45 minutes

It was a very pleasant experience meeting Dr. Kumar. After many years with ARA and my wonderful doctor who retired last year, I had high expectations when I came to see Dr. Kumar. I am happy to say that she truly met them. She has a very calming presence and gave me great peace of mind. I look forward to continuing my medical treatments with her.

Thank you Dr. Ahn. After being a patient of ARA for 40 yrs., we have been together 3 months. Your knowledge of past history and thorough reviews currently were very reassuring.
The front desk has been especially helpful with assisting numerous billing errors and not receiving a bill in ages. Lastly, just an inquiry about the parking situation. WHAT HAPPENED?
