I was glad he ordered a follow up ultrasound. Again, it concerns me greatly that I am not able to get one for a month. This is RIDICULOUS to me to have to wait so long. I hope it's nothing!

Dr. Assaf is a very astute physician who listens to the patient. I am amazed at how he seems to remember small details about his patients lives. He must have a cheat sheet that he reviews before entering the exam room. He is quick and thorough, but ALWAYS takes time to ask some questions about the patient as a person. That goes a long way to establish trust.
