Arpee F. Yeretzian, MD

There was never a doubt that Dr. Yeretzian would pursue a career in medicine. “While growing up, I had several close family members - including my mother – who were medical professionals. I feel that in many ways I grew up in and around a hospital,” states Dr. Yeretzian. “I never had any other ambition other than to become a doctor.” 

Dr. Yeretzian always wanted to treat all ages of people, so family medicine was a natural specialty to pursue. “Over my career, I have so enjoyed treating families – from babies to their grand and even great-grandparents,” Dr. Yeretzian states. “Seeing the whole spectrum of ages within a family, provides me added insight how to keep a patient healthy.”

When it comes to treating patients, Dr. Yeretzian seeks to gain a patients’ trust first and foremost. She also believes that patients need to be engaged in their own treatment plan. “My role is to provide suggestions and recommendations based on my medical knowledge, but the patient must ‘steer the ship’ and be involved and willing to make lifestyle changes in order to see successful results.”
