I have recommended Dr Kassing for 10 years and still do, as a provider he is attentive, patient, knowledgeable and professional. I have never felt any sort of discomfort with him, he always gives more than one option and explains in detail on each option. Kassing is thorough and respectful. I could not ask for a better provider to bring my children into this world, help me make life changing decisions, and genuinely care for his patients well being.

Dr. Kassing is great. Very personable and reassured me that what I was told that was happening was absolutely not happening. He took all the steps in ordering labs and an exam. He even called me personally to tell me results and treatment options.
