Reviews
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.
Dr. Tarek A’Lassi is excellent. He’s very straightforward, knowledgeable and kind at the same time.
Dr. Al-Assi is the best Gastroenterologist I have ever been to. After seeing him for about 6 years I moved and changed to another Gastroenterologist who was closer. After seeing him twice, I decided to return to Dr Al-Assi although he was further away he was worth the extra miles. He is kind, very knowledgeable, listens and explains your problems, and gives you a solution.
I've been seen Dr Al-Assi for several years. He continues to provide excellent care and has the best bedside manners.
I have been a patient of Dr. Al-Assi for years. Very professional and I great. I don’t even live in Arlington anymore and I still go see him a hour away.
