Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Life Saving Surgery
Dr. Ascioti truly saved my life by performing emergency surgery to repair a puncture to my diaphragm. I am forever grateful to him and his team. Post surgery care during a 12-day hospital stay was great. During my follow-up visit at his office he was patient and kind, and took time to answer my many questions. I highly recommend him.

Collapsed lung with surgery
Doc Ascioti performed emergency surgery on me with success. His explanation made sense to a medical layperson- he was decisive and most likely saved my life. I am grateful for his skills and I am now back to normal 1 .5 months later

We would recommend Dr. Ascioti for your surgery needs. He and his staff were professional, positive yet realistic about their recommendation for surgery. The surgery my son underwent is rare for his age, so it was shocking to learn he needed a partial lung removal. Dr. Ascioti went thru the details with my son what he could expect before during and after surgery so he was prepared. My son had the surgery, has gone thru all the rehab, and now is healthy and happy living back in LA. Thank you Dr. Ascioti!

Dr. Ascioti sent from God
Dr. Ascioti is an extremely qualified surgeon. I had spots on both lungs. He did a “wedge” on right lung and six weeks later surgery to remove upper part of left lung. He explained both surgeries clearly, making sure I and my family understood. After surgery explaining results he still very compassionate. Dr. Ascioti has a wonderful clinical team. I thank them for helping make this experience bearable. I will recommend Dr. Ascioti to anyone. I am very blessed to have him as my surgeon.

Thoracic Surgery
I recently underwent surgery to remove a large tumor from my chest. Dr Ascioti operated on a Monday morning and I was released from the hospital on Thursday morning. The preparation, the communication, the care and skill from the entire team was overwhelming. I met with Dr. Ascioti today and was told to follow recovery guidelines but most importantly the tumor had been completely removed! I recommend Dr Ascioti to anyone in need of surgery. And a heartfelt thank you to St. Vincent hospital nursing staff

Dr Ascioti is the man
Dr A is the man. I came to him at the end of January 2023 he diagnosed me with lung cancer in right lung. Very upsetting at 58 years old. 1st i met his nurse and let me tell you she is awesome. She makes u feel at ease goes over things with you and is very thorough also really nice. Was set up for surgery on March 7 they partially removed my right lung. He is a really unbelievable surgeon. He did such a nice job, healed quickly and no issues. I have to give a shout out to hospital.. they gave me the best care… again. The best nurses. I am extremely satisfied and he saved my life. God bless you Dr A. Your the man

Exceptional Care
Dr Ascioti and his team are exceptional at what they do! He throughly explained my procedure and made sure all my questions were answered. He made me feel at ease the day of surgery and was comforting with his words. His team in the operating rooms were extremely nice and took their time explaining to me what they were doing before I was put under. I would highly recommend Dr. Ascioti.

Excellent Dr and Staff
Dr Ascioti was recommended to me by my Pulmonologist. I was so pleased and thankful for this Dr and his staff. He quickly diagnosed my problem and was very confident in his ability to repair my herniated lung. Dr Ascioti is a very genuine, kind, and caring surgeon that has an equally competent and caring staff! When I called, calls were answered promptly and information was relayed efficiently. My surgery was a success and my herniated lung is now repaired and my recovery is going well. I would highly recommend Dr Ascioti. He and his staff are very thorough, competent, caring, and thoughtful.

I was impressed
I was impressed by his ability to explain things in detail without making it too difficult to understand. He was also willing to listen to some things that I wanted to discuss that at first surprised him as it wasn’t a typical pre-surgery topic. But I did ask him about it on my next visit and he told me that he had actually read about what I had mentioned. And he offered to connect me with someone that worked with him that may be able to help me in that area. I am doing this review pre-op but I will add to it after my surgery…
