Dr. Sassan Hassassian, MD

My senior, disabled mom had the worst healthcare experience of her entire life. Thank God we didn't go back to him again.

Took the time to have a conversation with me and explained in depth what seemed to be the problem with my back. Illustrated how the epidural would be injected and where it would be injected. Procedure went as planned with no negative issues or pain.

I was very impressed and happy with Dr. Hassassian and the nurse (Tracy? Can't remember her name), however, when I had to cancel an appointment (due to the office not being able to tell me how much a procedure would be), I was charged a $150 cancellation fee as the appointment was within 24 hours. The Office Manager was not willing to work with me on this even though she was unable to give me a cost estimate for the procedure being done. I offered to postpone the visit until she could calculate an estimate but she would not budge from charging $150 and said that it was my fault for not asking the cost when I scheudled the appointment. I am very disappointed and sadened by this response as other than this I was very happy with my experience. I have since cancelled all follow on appointments and urge caution to those doing business with them if finances are of concern.

To one of the finest people I know, who shows a genuine concern for his patients. This DR has been treating multiple health issues of minefor over 5 years. He & his caring compassionate staff are very professional, detail oriented, & attentative to their patients overall health issues. Time spent w/ Dr Hassassian & staff is customized for each patient. Health issues are thoroughly discussed w/each patient.In summary, every facet of your issues are a priority to them! Kudos, accolades!

Excellent doctor and staff. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. He listened to me and gave me my options so I can hopefully come off my pain meds. His NP who saw me (I forget her name) was also very professional. His first injection has already made me fee so much better.

Doctor and staff are caring people. They made me feel very welcomed and I believe I will be in good hands with them. Dr. H. Has a wonderful bedside manner and he made me feel encouraged about his determination to help me as his patient. He is a physician that not only hears but listens intently. I’m grateful for having such a wonderful initial visit. THANKS FOR YOUR WARMTH! It is helpful towards helping me not to become depressed about constant pain. ??

Great doctor. He helped me about. Believe me my problem was really complicated.

Outstanding professional!

I have been treated by several pain doctors in the past 12 years. Dr. Hassassian is the first physician who listens to me, is caring, has a wonderful bedside manner. His level of knowledge in his field is excellent. I have recommended him to several people who were in need of pain management. He is the only physician who has treated my pain successfully. His office staff is professional and caring, as well. I cannot recommend him more.

I work in an area near his office. I was told to see him after a friend recommended him. I am so GLAD I did! I suffered from excruciating back pain for a long time and needed someone to help me. I had three different back surgeries before. He helped me by placing a nerve simulator in my spine. I sleep better and and can enjoy my life again. Thank you Dr. Hassassian

I can tell that he takes time to learn about upcoming breakthroughs in medicine. He explains things in a way that most physicians cannot! I know I am getting the best care possible. He is a delight!

No nonsense and professional. He knows what he is doing.

Did not listen to me. Actually made my pain CONSIDERABLY WORSE. Would not prescribe medication that worked for me. Injected my back and actually made it WORSE. I felt like the dirt beneath the earth and that he did not care. Will never go back again.

Dr Hassassian, is an very well specialized, caring & compassionate doctor. He really cares about the health, welfare, medical condition and always takes the time to listen to his patients unlike other so called doctors I've gone to in the past and communicates with knowledge, skill and awesome professionalism 7 excellent customer service in his office staff as well! I highly recommend this doctor who has also won the Washingtonian award for the Metro/VA Best Lists of Physicians!
