Very professional, very well dressed and presentable, gave exceptional care by listening and advising on concerns that I wanted to do. Very transparent.

Dr. Kassis listened to my request for extra local anesthesia (I have some red hair) and I didn't feel a thing - thanks! Overall, the procedure went great. I thought it was fast and he let me know just enough as he was progressing. Great experience, felt like I was in good hands.

The doctor looked at my issue, went over options with me and made a point to ask me if I had any questions which I did have a list of questions that he let me read through to make sure he had already answered them all. I ended up with one question from my list that he didn't answer during our conversation. Which I thought was really good cause it was not a question.

Dr Kassis is the best Dr in my books! He is doing everything to try to help me with a 6-year, 24/7, 365 days a week, headache that I've had when all other doctors tossed me off to other doctors.

I never felt rushed. All questions were answered. I was allowed to view a video of the potential procedure. All risks were identified and discussed
