Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Kassar is an extremely knowledgeable and personable doctor. He not only makes you feel comfortable about his expertise, but he makes you feel heard and that your feelings matter!

Excellent Hematologist
I first saw Dr. Kassar last year to have a complete blood work-up. He was recommended to me by my endocrinologist when I expressed concern about my low WBC. Dr. Kassar was extremely knowledgeable and professional at my visit. He has a pleasant demeanor and took time to listen to my concerns. Two weeks later, I returned to find out my test results. To my relief, Dr. Kassar assured me that the results were normal. He said that I should return once more after several months for a follow-up, which I did. Again, the results were satisfactory. I would highly recommend Dr. Kassar to anyone having issues involving their blood levels.

Excellent Care
Dr. Kassar explained my cancer in simple terms that I was able to understand. He then explained the course of treatment, and why it would work best for my diagnosis. I always felt that I was receiving the best of care under his guidance. He is very kind and I highly recommend him as an oncologist

Been seeing Kassar for over a year and he is very good at what he does. Dr Kassar along with his Nurse practitioners are very caring and compassionate. They explain everything and make sure you are taken care of. Every person at that facility makes sure you are comfortable. The chemo nurses are awesome and the nurses who do your blood work makes you feel at ease. Just wonderful all around. If you need an oncologist Dr Kassar is the way to go!!!
