I had a bad interpersonal experience with Dr. Sirakian and ended up deciding not to have him do my surgery, so I can't speak for his skills as a dentist, but his interpersonal skills could use some work. First, he cancelled our appointment on the morning it was supposed to happen (of course I'd re-arranged my work schedule, etc., and this was very inconvenient). Then once we'd rescheduled we got in an argument. I had not exactly followed his instructions on a minor point of when to take an elective pre-surgery anti-anxiety drug because the instructions were inconvenient and didn't make any sense to me. A call to his office for clarification was not returned. When we met he--without introducing himself, or apologizing for the cancelled appointment--started scolding me. I don't remember the detail at this point, but I felt that he was condescending and totally unwilling to listen to my input. He seemed outraged that someone could dare to question HIS instructions, because of course the doctor knows everything and the patient nothing, right? Well, wrong.
