I got referred to Dr. Assaf because I needed a primary Dr. It was the best referral could've gotten. He is an excellent doctor, very caring, very thorough, explains everything and never makes me feel rushed.

Dr. Samer cares about his patients. My friend recommended him to me last year and super grateful that she did. If you want a doctor who explains things in an easy and patient manner, look no further. I strongly recommend him!

I had to switch from Scripps to Sharp due to my medical insurance. I was very upset but so far Dr. Assaf is fantastic. Very thorough, listens, doesn't rush and seems to really care about the patient.

I love this Dr. He actually listens and takes his time. I have never had a complaint in the 5 years he has been my Dr. i moved to the high desert and still drive 3 hours down to see him once a year for a check up.

Dr. Assaf is a compassionate physician. He asks probing questions, is non-judgmental, thoughtful and encouraging. He's very easy to talk to. I'd recommend him to anyone.
