Dr Assassi saved my life. In 2017 I lost 55 lbs and had become bedridden, unable to walk and had chronic debilitating pain in all my joints. Dr Assassi diagnosed my condition and prescribed a treatment plan that stopped my Adult Stiles disease. With aggressive physical therapy and diet changes I regained my strength, weight and ability to walk/function. He is a very attentive, positive and knowledgeable specialist. His staff is highly professional, responsive and attentive. Everyone is quick to respond to emails and phone messages.

I met doctor Assassi about 11 years ago, and from the first appointment I realized that he is a medical eminence, after a lot of questions, he was able to give me the right diagnostic, he is a rheumatologist and he found out that I had a liver problem, and thanks to him I started getting the care I needed from the liver doctor. Thanks doctor Assassi you are a life saver.

Dr. Assassi is a caring physician. He takes the time to listen to all of my questions and concerns. He replies to every question I have. He can explain things in a simple way that I would be able to understand and later explain to my family. He truly loves his patients and one can tell by the way he respects and cares for his patients. Dr. Assassi is very knowledgeable in his area of specialty. I was referred to his practice by another specialist that highly talked about Dr. Assassi. Thank you for all you have done for me.

Dr. Assassi may be the most compassionate doctor I have had.He was very thorough in his evaluation; I have an unusual condition from which I suffered for many years. After careful assessment of my tests and attentive listening and observation of my symptoms, Dr, Assassi diagnosed my condition in less than 5 months and was able to prescribe medication that has relieved most of my symptoms.I would recommend Dr. Assassi to anyone - wife, children, best friends, and relatives included.
