I’d give more stars if possible. I felt really cared about at this visit. Dr Assil did not rush through the appointment as I’ve experienced it at other places. He made sure I understood all the steps about my back procedure.
The nurses were all super friendly! My husband referred me to this Dr and I will refer everyone coming my way with back issues!
I am so lucky to have been able to get an appt with this compassionate and professional doctor. He truly is current in all techniques for pain relief. So very kind too. The office staff is very efficient and nice too.
Dr.Assil is very kind and explained in detail why I have been suffering extreme pain in lower spine which radiates down my legs..I have been walking with a walker for over a year..Cannot stand for more than 10-15 minutes.. I will be having an Epidural for pain..Then probably back surgery as my lower spine is not stable..I appreciate that Dr. Assil confirmed what I’ve been describing to numerous doctors before. I fell and fractured spine spine and was hospitalized over a year ago..That I felt very unstable on my feet and my legs are not working properly..I been active my whole life in gymnastics, surfing, figure skating, boxing and dancing..Sitting and watching TV all day is not good..Hopefully Epidural..Then surgery will get me stable and back on my feet..I really appreciate Dr. Assil’s assistance and kindness..Very knowledgeable doctor..I think he’s renewed my hope in walking again..
Dr. Assil clearly described the next spinal procedure, what to expect post-op and the chances of success. He made the decision easy for me to make.
It was remarkable the time he took to explain each of my concerns and the clarity which he gave. Much appreciated.
Dr. Assil took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained my treatment options.
The examination was comprehensive,
I would recommend Dr. Assil to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring physician.
Dr Assil is extremely knowledgable and informative when he assesses and treats me for pain management. He takes into consideration all of my medical issues and upcoming treatments when deciding on the best course of action. Most importantly he trusts me when I share my level of pain, course of pain, etc. He doesn’t just throw meds, needles, and knives out as a regimen. Dr Assil carefully explains the issue, how it affects the many areas where I have pain, and the most efficient and effective way to treat it all to decrease or eliminate my suffering. Highly recommend him.
Precise and easy to talk to. Listened to my issues and I never felt judged. He and his staff are amazing!!
