Not sure what to say?

Ara was the most dedicated, resposible and compasionate doctor I have seen. Dr. Dumanian was a man so resposible in his work that the day he operated he will remain in the hospital thru the night to be close to the patient. Constantly checking the ptient ad ordering medications if needed. His presence was respected among all his colleages who knew his expertise and tenacity. He was unique and saved thousands of lives during his practicing years. He will be remember from everybody who treated...




For Dr. Ara Dumanian his wife Edma and Family

"Dedication...Dedication ",
This was Ara's theory

He was born for
And he did with all his soul.

His patients all and always
All lived in his core.

And every chest He opened and closed
He wanted thy to return home with a happy smile.

And he did for 3,500 hearts and for their families
Till he could not do more.

He had a real Armenian...

Our deepest condolences to Edma and the Dumanian family. Ara was a wonderful man who always had time for others.

Dr Dumanian not only took care of his own patients, but saved the life of another surgeon's patient. I was on a local hospital's post op floor, when a patient blew a graft.

That patient lived, due to a man who was willing...

Dearest Edma and the Dumanian Family:

Dear Dumanian Family & Friends:

Although we do not know one another, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere condolences for the loss of Dr. Dumanian. I, as an Armenian, have always been interested in members of our community throughout the world.

I worked with Dr. Dumanian during the 1970 and 1980 decades and it is very difficult to find a doctor as dedicated as Dr. Dumanian. I know hundreds of people surviving because of his dexterity and knowlege, RIP. Carlos and Donna Serna.
