Dr. Azizian is a third-generation physician who comes from a family deeply rooted in medicine. Her grandfather, Vruir Azizian, was a trauma surgeon during World War II and inspired his three children to pursue careers in medicine as well. Dr. Azizian’s father, Dr. Koriun Azizian, became known as one of the leading psychiatrists in Armenia, particularly in the field of neuroses.
Dr. Azizian immigrated from Armenia to the United States as a teenager in the 1990s. She has lived in New England ever since and has enjoyed the beauty of Cape Cod since 2013.
Dr. Azizian is a board-certified general surgeon. Skin and wound care have always been an essential part of her practice. In response to strong community demand for comprehensive skin care, she founded Mindful Medical Care in 2015 — a skin clinic dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of both benign and malignant skin conditions.
At her practice, Dr. Azizian offers a true one-stop approach to skin care. As a trained dermoscopist, she performs comprehensive full-body skin examinations. When cancerous or precancerous lesions are identified, she manages them comprehensively, providing surgical removal when indicated. When everything is normal, she provides reassurance and peace of mind. She treats a wide variety of skin conditions, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, cysts, lipomas, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, benign cosmetic nevi, brown spots, and more.
True to its name, Mindful Medical Care is built on the philosophy of delivering thoughtful, comprehensive, and high-quality patient-centered care.
Dr. Azizian particularly enjoys office-based dermatologic procedures and wound care. She believes there is no such thing as a minor procedure for a patient. Every procedure deserves precision, meticulous planning, and attention to detail to achieve the least invasive, least painful, and most cosmetically favorable outcome.
She firmly believes in the mind-body connection and prioritizes creating a secure, calm, and emotionally supportive environment for her patients. A relaxed patient is a confident and comfortable patient.
Dr. Azizian is also deeply interested in integrating holistic and Western medicine — bringing together two distinct yet equally valuable approaches to health. This passion led her to pursue certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine and to establish Mindful Medical Functional Clinic as a separate branch of her practice.

Dr. Azizian is committed to philanthropy. In 2018, she founded MedArmeniaPhilanthropy, Inc., and volunteered as a burn surgeon during the 2020 war in Armenia at the Armenian National Burn Unit.
Dr. Azizian’s hobbies and interests include reading, jazz music, travel, and flamenco dancing. She is the author of two non-fiction medical books and is currently working on her third.
She resides in Falmouth with her husband, 3 children, 2 dogs, 1 bearded dragon, 2 parakeets, 3 turtles, and many fish.
