Quite blunt but will make you laugh and learn at the same time. He does not sugar coat things, that is for sure but he definitely will make good points and focus on your problems. You see the doctor not a PA

Dr. Assad doe not only focus on treatment but he focuses on prevention which is something rare these days. He is very loved in his community. Those complaining are just bitter Karens.

He is an amazing compassionate MD. He even got into mental health that for me was key. Those complaining are just bitter

This doctor did not even do an assessment on me. He walked in, no introduction, sat, looked at paperwork, dismissed what I was feeling. Said I had no cardiac issues and Said he would do a holter just because "I know you are going to be worring" Very aloof not compassionate, not eassuring. Do not recomend this doctor. They see you as a number not as a human being. Will be seeing a different doctor next visit.

Dr was too quick to recommend an invasive procedure before doing non-invasive testing. He actually really scared me. Went for second opinion and am now going to get the non-invasive tests before drastic invasive procedures.
