Dr. Ali Askari, MD

What good can I say about a no-show doctor for an appointment, who blames patient, when his staff never notified me of a vacant office until I showed up.

Seeing Dr. Askari is like going to your country doctor. I mean, there is no other doctor that I know that will actually sit down to help you understand what is happening to your heart

he remembers names people, talks about what's going on with you and the best way to attach it. I love that in a Dr. we need all the information we can get. Very personable good bedside manner. I have been seeing him for 10 yrs now. I would cry if I had to switch.

Dr. Ascari is the most attentive doctor we have ever had. He is always there when we need him. He’s now become our primary doctor and we couldn’t be more pleased. He is very attentive and he is on top of every problem we have ever had! We highly recommend him to anyone that needs a cardiologist. His office staff is incredible, and always there and follows through with everything we need in a timely manner! Do yourself a favor, and become one of his patients! Richard and Judy Crowell

Dr. Askari told my father he needed a defibrillator. My father was short of breath for weeks, swollen feet, felt sick. Dr Askari did not treat the condition, just sent him to the surgeon, who was not contracted. Office staff did not check. My father paid out of pocket to see the surgeon, desperate for help right away. The day of surgery, he was told he would need to pay out of pocket before surgery could be done. He didn’t have the money & ended up in the ER. He was about to have a stroke. Had emergency surgery next day. Did I mention my father fell off the treadmill during the stress test in the office. He told the tech., go slow. Tech sped up the treadmill and my father fell forward, banged his head and face. He was traumatized. Bridget the office manager never got back to me after my complaints & did not know about the fall incident. My father never should have been sent to a non contracted surgeon. Askari did not treat his condition. Total neglect & poorly managed.

He is a wonderful Doctor. He is very patient and treats me and my husband with the upmost regard. We really enjoy our visits with him. He really knows what he is doing. He doesn’t rush us at all. We would highly recommend him.

I can’t sing the praises of Dr. Askari enough! I came to Dr. Askari in hypertensive crisis, tachycardia and with a very complex immune disorder. My first visit with Dr. Askari his compassion, ability to really listen to me and knowledge immediately stood out. I walked away feeling like he was going to not only help but be a comfortable place to be. My next visit was scheduled very quickly for a nuclear stress test but before arriving my Blood Pressure was in the 200s and I was experiencing chest pain. My appointment was in less than 15 mins and his office was closer than the hospital so I decided to proceed. While sitting in the waiting room Dr. Askari saw me while getting off the elevator and immediately saw I was struggling and helped me to the exam room. Dr. Askari was incredibly reassuring and compassionate! Dr. Askari was quick to give me medication to bring my Blood Pressure and heart rate to a safe level and did an immediate Echo. I sent directly to the hospital where Dr. Askar

Doctor Askari saved my life because I had a very complicated health problem including some heart condition affiliated with cancer. He is very responsible and caring doctor. While I was spending time in the hospital he came by every morning to check on me after I had a surgery for removing cancerous tumor. He is no only very experienced doctor, but a really good person.

Dr. Askari is one of the most caring cardiologists I have ever seen! I would recommend him to any of my friends or family.

Completely worthless visit by a doctor more concerned with raking in coin than discovering causes of debilitating symptoms. Simply DOES NOT LISTEN but projects his own thoughts on what’s what despite the facts. Sickening.

At initial referral visit, Dr. was examining EKG results, and commenting. I told him I had not done an EKG at that point. I looked closer at the printed page, and saw a name other than mine on the top of the EKG results. I told him it was not mine. A week later, I asked that test results be faxed to a new cardiologist because I was so unhappy with Dr. Askari. Same incorrect results sent to new doctor. No info given to me during appointment and attempts to schedule multiple follow ups.

I went to this doctor for some pre-operative testing. They test where done a month in advance. However the staff did not get the tests over to the surgeon till 2 days before the surgery. The Prescott office staff is never there, never answers the phone or returns messages. They are only there 2 days a week and very under staffed, and incompedent. I would not recommend them.
