Reviews
The EDG and Colonoscopy went very well and even started a bit early. Dr. Al-Assi did a wonderful job, as always!
As always Dr. Alassi makes me feel safe. Always speaks truthfully with compassion. Staff and nurses have always been very kind and helpful. So glad to have found all of you.
Very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this practice to anyone in need of a GI Dr.
