I had to have a keloid removed from a surgery I had. Dr Kassis took care of it that day so I didn't have to come back to Nashville..

The entire visit with Dr al Kassis and Nurse Gerald was very confrontational. Dr al Kassis tried to talk me out of doing the procedure, and became very curt and impatient with me when I insisted that he should do the procedure I took the day off and drove 3 hours for.

Provider was friendly. Listened carefully to make sure he understood where my pain was coming from. He explained the cause of my pain and the procedure that could help the pain. Waiting for the office to call and schedule an appointment for the procedure.

Because most of my questions were answered in the debriefing, there was concern when we didn't have many to ask. They made sure to open the door for messaging if I were to think of questions later.

Dr. Kassisis is the most compassionate and caring doctor I have ever met. He is a doctor who understands beyond medicine and how to help patients deal with real-life situations. He provides exemplary quality care, and his wisdom is not to be surpassed by the generosity of his time and dedication toward patients. He has this unique ability to combine the human touch with medicine. Few doctors are as talented and eloquent as him yet show humanity and devotion to their patients. I am blessed to have him as my doctor.
