Patient Reviews
Oct 22, 2024
Dr.Assina came to the emergency room to see me as a new patient. I was unable to walk and in excruciating pain. I was admitted to the hospital and he operated on me within about 36 hours. I am now able to walk and I credit Dr. Assina for his excellent care. He was very communicative with my family and with me and we’re truly grateful. His bedside manner is wonderful and I highly recommend him.
