Dr and staff were knowledgeable and efficient
First time going to Dr Ascher and I am pleased so far. He’s knowledgeable, attentive and patient. Very professional in his care.
Very professional environment, pleasant approach, easy to understand description of condition, I like Dr Ascher and his honest way of handling and dealing, definitely I will recommend.
Dr Dr. MARKS IS PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL. She Reduced my anxiety quickly .
Courteous, professional. And informative staff.
I was told after the doctor saw me that he wouldn't or couldn't help me without a sonogram first. My legs were weeping and it's not the first time. In the past my legs have been wrapped and a week later I came back for a follow up . This time he refused. I am not comfortable with these invasive tests.
come to the point and I'm going to some help from the Doctor.
Just started work but the staff and the doctors very nice and explain everything patiently.

Excellent doctor— professional, courteous and knowledgeable
I left a review before I had wanted to see Dr. Aschdr but he was not available so I saw Dr. Marks. She was very pleasant and answered all my questions and said I didn’t have anything to worry about and said I had neuropathy and not peripheral artery disease as I been told before.
Knowledgeable and nice staff
Everybody is well versed in what they have to do and I am very happy with people that know what has to be done.
