Dr. Valerie Anne Asher, MD

I started seeing Dr. Asher as a result of hearing loss at a young age. Dr. Asher takes her time with her patients and thinks holistically. She provides excellent referrals when necessary. Dr. Asher has also been instrumental in my allergy care. I have had the amazing opportunity to participate in the allergy immunotherapy program offered at ENT Associates and Dr. Asher has supported me along the way.

I have had the privilege of being Dr. Asher’s patient for 10 years after being diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma. She was caring and listened carefully to my many concerns as she helped me navigate multiple treatment options. She is always extremely responsive to questions and concerns during and between visits. Dr. Asher is very knowledgeable and informative. Visits are extremely thorough; I never feel rushed and follow up care continues to be excellent.

I can't thank Dr. Asher enough for the care she has provided my 96 year-old father, above and beyond, the normal care expected for an ear infection. I'd give her 10 Stars if the rating allowed

If you have COMPLAINTS AGAINST DR. ASHER. If Dr. Asher or any doctor at Maryland ENT Associates has caused you physical harm (even serious physical harm), committed negligence or medical malpractice, or fraud, file a written complaint to the Maryland Board of Physicians and contact a medical malpractice lawyer and the police, if necessary. I believe that Dr. Asher is a criminal, psychopath, sadist and just evil. She should be kept as far away from people (patients) as possible!!

If you value your health and life, STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR!!!

Dr. Asher is the best!

I would give Asher zero stars. She is an embarrassment to the field of medicine and should not call herself a doctor!

Dr. Asher has been my ENT for the past decade. She is super smart and has successfully treated me for several unusual tonsil, throat and ear conditions. I highly respect her as a doctor and a surgeon. She takes time with her patients. She is at the very top of her field.

It's my good fortune to have been recently treated by Dr. Asher for an ear infection that was serious and excruciating. She saw me on short notice, understood the severity at once and was, within moments, working on my ear. Two days later, concerned about my progress, she arranged for care at a hospital - she personally delivered my cultures as I was being admitted. I'm so much better- progressing well. Dr. A was knowledgeable, straightforward, decisive, responsive, caring - and I am grateful.

ALERT!!! If you don’t believe my review about this practice or Dr. Asher, PLEASE check out other review sites like Yelp, Google, etc. You will find that there have been many negative experiences. Please never go to this practice if customer service and care is important to you. I would also not recommend anyone to Dr. Asher. Regarding the Service: Please expect to wait 30-50 minutes to be seen even when you are on time for an appointment. Dr. Asher always runs late. When calling to make or confirm an appointment you will likely experience one of the following: the phone system will hang up or disconnect the call before you have an opportunity to speak with anyone so you may have to call several times before speaking to an office receptionist; and they will request that you change your appointment time that you have previously scheduled because this happened to me at least three times since being a patient (once because one doctor forgot about his vacation, once because there was an… emergency and I don’t recall the other reason). And there is no such thing as making an urgent/emergency appointment if you are sick, plan to pay money to go to an urgent care facility or emergency room. This office does not have emergency appointments unless you are “bleeding” according the receptionist. My personal experience with Dr. Asher has been she has misdiagnosed my daughter once (by saying she had a virus) and I had to follow up three different times on test results that had come in but only the doctor was allowed to discuss them with me. She never returned my call. On the third time I called, complaining that my daughter’s school asked me to pick her up immediately because her temperature was 102 and climbing, Dr. Asher finally called me back. She apologized and explained that my daughter had a bacterial infection (they knew a week prior because this is when the results came in) and asked me to bring her back in the same day (during a hail storm might I add.) Oh! Let me not forget that I recommended that she take a swab for testing because I was tired of coming back and forth about a virus….something was wrong. After deciding to read the test results, she immediately prescribed my daughter the correct medication. On another occasion, she informed me that I had a virus or maybe something bacterial and prescribed me an antibiotic specifically for skin issues. However, my sore throat persisted and I went to urgent care who informed me I had Strep throat. The antibiotic I was on is typically demagogical based. The list goes on and on… Oh! And don’t try complaining or reporting the issues about service to the Office Manager Ann, because she is “professionally rude.” After the office contacted me to reschedule my daughter’s appointment, I briefly informed Ann that I could not reschedule because I took leave from work and was scheduled to go on vacation. I also informed her of my negative experiences in the past, and asked if I could see one of the other five doctors in the office at my appointment time because of the inconvenience and because I could not come in for an afternoon appointment. Anne insisted that we “are trying/willing to bend over backwards for you and offering an afternoon appointment is the best we can do”. She explained that I was welcome to come in 20 minutes after my appointment and wait and hopefully Dr. Asher would arrive short afterward but there were no guarantees. Then she proceeded to ask me – as if it were any of her business- when is your vacation. I contacted me pediatrician’s office who referred me to the practice, and they took notes…and may no longer recommend patients to this office…THANK GOODNESS… I also was able to immediately make another ENT appointment, and contacted Anne to send me my medical records. In her nonchalant tone and attitude, “she said oh sure…I can send them…bye.” She didn’t care about me as a customer or her level of service. STAY AWAY!!!!
