Lighthouse Spine Center - Aram Shahinyan, MD

"Highly recommending Dr. Shahinyan. From my very first appointment, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Shahinyan took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, review my imaging in detail, and walk me through all available treatment options without rushing the conversation. Clear communication and compassionate approach. Every question I had was answered thoughtfully. The treatment plan was tailored specifically to my needs, and the results have been trully helpful. My back pain has significantly improved. The office staff is also incredibly professional, organized, and kind, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, skilled, and truly caring pain management specialist, Dr. Shahinyan is an excellent choice."

"Doctor is amazing. He's very skilled. Kindest doctor I've ever seen in my life. Each session we had he spent almost an hour listening to me, my health history, my problems, my health goals. He's really great and ask questions. He cares deeply. I had an injection with him and my pain got minimized for couple of weeks now. I'm so thankful. Better than inova doctors."

"I arrived at the Lighthouse Spine Center in significant pain, frustrated after seeing 4 other doctors, over 4 or more weeks and being sent for a couple of x-rays and MRIs with no resulting diagnosis. Shortly after arriving at the Center, I met with Dr. Aram Shahinyan and he asked a series of questions and spent more time evaluating me than any of the other doctors I had seen. He quickly determined what was wrong and within 2 days the pain that had tormented me and left me unable to sleep for weeks was gone, and has not returned. I highly recommend Dr. Aram Shahinyan, he is a thorough medical professional and a caring individual!"

"When you go to Dr. Aram Shahinyan you are not a patient medical insurance number. He was referred to me and I am very thankful. Dr. Shahinyan listens to you patiently and explains at length the issue and options at length. You are well cared for. He gave me many shots and I hardly felt them. He is awesome! I wish we had more caring and good doctors like him. Alas! Not many, if any. His staff is very pleasant and nice. I recommend him without an iota of hesitation. Thank you."

"I wish I could give 10 stars. I was listened too, fully Evaluated. And my pain was not minimized. The doctor was very good at asking for consent for everything which was much appreciated. He answered all of my questions then some. I felt heard, seen, and I have a great plan for healing. I'm so glad I came across this space after previous bad experiences."

"This clinic is such a blessing to have in Bethesda. I had ablation in my knee and have been pain free since then. Doctor Shahinyan is the most caring and professional doctor I have met so far, will Highly recommend to anyone seeking medical services in Bethesda/Chevy chase and surrounding areas."

"I can't say enough about Dr. Aran Shahinayah. For several years 2015 I've been suffering with lower back pain...I was told that it was due to my L4 L5 S1....I didn't agree but because the doctors were the experts I trusted them.I had years of injections, different medications, physical therapy and eventually in 2021 I had back surgery. I still experienced the same pain. Eventually my primary care physician recommended my current back doctor. And I thank God. My first visit with him was very detailed, he asked all sorts of questions and he actually listened to me....the first time a doctor actually listened to me versus automatically thinking he knew what was wrong. He then had me to perform several different exercises and identified my pain coming from from my SI Joint. A couple weeks later I was given a SI Injection and I've been pain free since then. The first time since 2015. I can even wear shoes I've not been able to wear due the shoes causing more back pain. And my anxiety from the pain has decreased significantly! Dr Aran Shahinayah is Awesome!"

"Wonderful staff and wonderful doctor who listens attentively and with a lot of empathy and care. Excellent explanations given by the doctor as far as the approach that will be taken to resolve the medical issues. I loved the fact that the doctor allowed me to ask all sorts of questions. He answered and considred all of my questions and concerns. I could not have had a better experience. Thank you so much Ms. Nune and Dr. Shahinyan."
