I'm a very complicated person and things have been a roller coaster since my previous doctor retired. Dr Assaf has been the first one in 9 months that didn't throw me out the door and redirect to urgent care for med refills. Same person I remember and always makes you feel heard.

Dr. Assaf is one of the Best Drs. I have and I have a lot of Drs.! He is always caring and shows a great amount of concern regarding all health concerns or issues I present him with. Dr. Assaf is very thorough and does his best at getting to the bottom of finding out what's going on with my health issues. I completely trust his judgement on things related to my health. If he can't get the answers then he will refer me to other Drs in different departments that may help me. He genuinely cares. I Highly recommend Dr Assaf in Internal medicine. He's not only my Internal Medicine doctor he's also my Go to Dr for anything else!

Dr Assaf is always the best. I was lucky to get my son into his practice since he's now turned 18. Very happy my son will get the excellent care Dr Assaf has provided me for many years.
