Awesome physician, kind, patient and very knowledgeable

Amy R. • March 07, 2024

Dr. Ascunce went much further than "the extra mile:" I came to him with an urgent problem that my insurance had denied payment for. While I was in Dr. Ascunce's office, after we spoke, he phoned my PCP, then a highly recommended surgeon directly. As a result, the surgeon saw me the next day and scheduled what could have been timely and life-saving surgery. Dr. Ascunce's caring, dedication, professionalism and expertise were all exceptional and amazing. I highly recommend him.

From my recent experience, I can confidently say that Dr. Ascunce stands out as a remarkably knowledgeable and skilled healthcare professional.

His approach was patient and empathetic, which greatly alleviated any anxieties I had about my health concerns.
