Phenomenal care! Could definitely tell that he has compassion for his patients.

The doctor was very kind and made sure to ask for my opinions on everything.

The nurse practitioner was very good. He talked to me and included me in making decisions with him. Dr Kassis just came in and announced what he was going to do without including me in the discussion and told me to come back in 6 months. For this reason I am not sure if I would recommend him or not. I feel like he is playing gatekeeper when it comes to my bottom surgery.

Dr. Kassis was very thorough, and clearly explained what my procedure would entail.

Dr Kassis is the best. He has never given up on me when 15 other doctors have. He also spends time to listen to me and trying to help me lose the pain that I'm in
