He was a great doctor after all these years. But the office changes the management is poor. When you call for an appointment he is always booked. The front desk will give you another doctor which I dont even know . Or the waiting time is more than 45 minutes. the front desk and the staff not too great when it comes to work . Poor communication to patients .

Dr. Asuncion does not call you , to give you notice of a serious diagnosis. He found that Ihad high cholesterol, but he did not call me. He took two months just because I asked about the results.

Dr. A is a very mean arrogant man!! will always tell you to come back 3-4 times a month for a follow up just to discuss lab results,c an never give lab results over the phone!!! I do not recommened him point blank. and by the way her may appear friendly to patients, but is very rude to his own staff ( i feel bad for the ppl that work or deal with him) and my rating for him is a big fat zero
