Dr. Aschen is very professional. He always come in with a smile and ask, how are you doing before he does anything. Always concerned about my well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally

Dr. Aschen showed absolutely no concern for my issue, my hopes for any procedures and provided no valuable information without direct questions from me that required a very specific answer. His PA was present and it almost felt like he had textbook answers and was not actively listening to what I was saying. I'd be happy to share the specifics if needed.

This visit was no different than any of my visits with Dr. Acshen. He was knowledgeable, professional, personable and patient. He was extremely thorough in expectations and what I should expect during my recovery. Each visit I have a list of questions. Dr. Aschen takes his time and responds in great detail to each of them.
