Dr. Valeria Asimenios, MD

Dr A is the most caring, competent primary care doctor I've seen, since becoming a Southwest Med patient 38 years ago. My family and I are fortunate to have been with her for many years now. SMA is lucky to have her on their team.

She's the best.

Dr. Valeria Asimenios and the office Manager, Vivian Stoll-Rastovac, failed and refused to properly follow up on ordered blood testing. They both ended all communication with me, and once it had been determined by Southwest Medical's Patient Experience/Complaint Department that the ordered blood testing had not been performed due to technical issues with their computer system, these two women still offered no assistance to me in getting these blood tests performed. My initial conversation with Vivian Stoll-Rastovac ended with her hanging up on me, and my repeated requests to Dr. Valeria Asimenios through Evisits to call me have been ignored. During my initial converstaion with Vivian Stoll-Rastovac, she refused to inquire of Quest as to the reason the ordered blood tests had not been performed. She stated "I don't work for Quest. You'll have to call them yourself." Quest's office is in the same building, only a few feet from the patient check in for Southwest Medical patients. … She refused to walk over a few feet and find out additional information for me. She stated that she had already gone out of her way to find out that the tests had not been performed. Dr. Valeria Asimenios stated in one of my Evisits that she had "limited amount of time to go back and forth with me on this and would not continue the conversation." I never heard from her again. These two women were negligent with my care, so I reported them both verbally and in writing to Southwest Medical's Patient Experience/Complaint Department and to Dr. Robert McBeath, the President of OptumCare Nevada and CEO of Southwest Medical Associates. The behavior of these two women and the dismissive manner in the way they treated me is unacceptable. To my knowledge neither woman has been disciplined by Southwest Medical, and they are both still employed there. It turns out that Valeria Asimenios was involved in a malpractice lawsuit in the early 2000s when she was practicing medicine in New York. The case is Kaufmann vs Fulop, and it's a public record. If interested, read the case online and then decide for yourself if Valeria Asimenios is a doctor that you want providing your medical care to you.

Move from Hawaii needed a doctor who could understand my medical history and provide the quality care I need for a cancer survivor. she is very understanding, sees you not as a job to do but a living person. she has guided me well and cares about my quality of life. I look forward to each visit. there is much to write about our interactions but if you are lucky enough to be her patient you will understand.

Dr. A has been my primary doctor for over 10 yrs and is one of the two doctors I completely trust. Unfortunately Southwest Medical has decided that I can't be a patient any longer. :-(

Absolutely the best Doctor in Las Vegas. My wife and I have her as our PCP for years. She takes the time to listen to your issues and tries to find remedies to what ails, not just pills to mask the symptoms. It's rare to find a healthcare provider who genuinely cares for her patients. We are so glad to have found her and could not recommend enough.

The best doctor that I've dealt in my life time.

She is my father's doctor. He has several medical conditions and she never fails to cover the bases on all of them making him feel as if he is her ONLY patient. She is caring and funny and answers all question in detail without making us feel dumb!

Very personable, listens, does not talk down to you. Hard to believe there are doctors out there like this! Highly recommend. Just hope she doesn't get to many patients after such a high review. So lucky to have near by.
