Reviews
Had a pleasant experience. The doctor and nurses were friendly and were able to answer all my questions.
Great!!!! Professional
Dr Alassi is very caring and professional.Great Doctor and staff,made me feel safe with my procedures!A+
Satisfactory visit. Long wait. Video screen with helpful information helped pass the time. But I was probably squeezed into schedule as I had an urgent need to see doctor. Great doctor
Dr. Al-Assi and his entire staff are incredible! There is never a minute that I feel I need to follow up or suggest something they might have missed. They are courteous, kind and pay attention to every detail. They listen and ask questions. I never feel like “the next in line”, I always feel like the most important person in the room. The communication with my other doctors is flawless. Any tests are shared with my other physicians, so everyone is on the same page. I highly recommend Dr. Al-Assi and his entire staff.
