Dr. Assefaw was a great listener and explained everything thoroughly. She responds to messages right away which is helpful and really appreciated. Glad I found her.
I chose Dr. Assefaw after scouring multiple reviews here on Zocdoc and am now happy and relieved to add my own good review to the others. I find her to be humane, insightful, and inspirational in a low-key but authentic way--as in, I sense her sincerely rooting for my progress and not just going through the motions to get paid. Her experience in considering the benefits or costs of specific medications and treatments runs deep, and that shows. But I also value that she's deeply attuned to wholistic and non-pharmacological approaches to crises, including exercise and diet. I'm grateful to previous Zocdoc users for directing me to her, and I look forward to seeing her again.
