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.

I love Dr Asefa he is so caring and cares about you very knowledgeable

Caring, knowledgeable, calming mannerism
He was very polite, told me his name and asked me mine, strong, efficient, yet easygoing mannerism that made me feel I could bet at easy about his findings. I left knowing his judgement could be trusted, that he took the patient’s care first. I was pleased that I had changed doctors recently, I have convince in my new doctors.

Once placed in the examination room the nurse quickly checked my vitals, employed the standard pre-examination necessities, and alerted doctor to the essential background facts.

Great first impression
Dr. Assefa is a great listener. He asked great questions about supplements used. He recommended a plan which which uses whole food medicine (which I prefer.) Other recently visited doctors only wanted to prescribe synthetic medicines.

I am heart broken ??to hear that he has resigned this makes 2 cardiologist I have had that were wonderful doctors ??don't know what is going on in Owensboro hospital but I do know this is sad ??. Not only has he took care of my heart he also was so concerned when I told him about the loss of my son ?? not all doctors would take the time to talk to you about your loss he helped me in this area more than he probably even knew. A MAN WITH A KIND HEART ? NOT JUST A DOCTOR OTHER DOCTORS COULD LEARN SOMETHING FROM HIM A PATIENT IS NOT JUST A NUMBER. GOD BLESS YOU DR,ASSEFA ??I WILL MISS YOU ??
