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

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.

Dr. Kassis was very informative and the visit comfortable. I appreciate his advice and opinions regarding potential treatments about my issue.
