Reviews
The entire staff was so nice and accommodating to me. I especially give much praise to the person who started the IV in my hand. I didn’t feel a thing, and she did such a great job! I wish I could thank her personally but I did not get her name. My whole experience from start to finish was very pleasant, and I want to thank everyone involved in my care.
Wonderful doctor. Very attentive and took his time listening and giving me options and feedback. Very friendly.
Dr. Al-Assi has taken excellent care of me whether I’ve had a colonoscopy or endoscopy done. He is very informative about any findings during my procedure, is polite, and takes the time to answer any questions l may have. I’m thankful this gastroenterologist has my best interest at heart, and would recommend him to anyone that needs to be referred.
Thank you! Dr Tarek and kind and very friendly nursing staff for making me feel very comfortable before my surgery and after and even my follow up. haven’t been a client long but I love the very friendly greeting from the time you enter the office until you leave. Dr Tarek is a very caring doctor explaining everything holding nothing back. Thank you
He is very good. Listens to his patients and explained things well.
