Reviews
I am glad I with to DrAl Assi he was the only doctor I went to that help me. I feel a lot better since he found out what was wrong with me. Thank you so much for believing in me I am in less pain now. Thank you from my heart.
I was a patient of Dr. Charles Owens which I really liked and I was a little worried with becoming a new patient to a new doctor. I found my new doctor, Dr. Al-Assi, very friendly and kind. After the procedure, I found him informative and answered all my questions. I would like him to continue being my doctor because he is a very good doctor. Sincerely, Mrs. Julia T Hernandez
