Verified patientVideo visit
Today was my initial visit with Dr. Asunto. He let me speak freely, he actively listened to me and interjected with questions when I was less than clear or when I id not quite know how to phrase an issue in medical dialogue. He was kind and considerate and graciously laughed when I attempted humour. I asked for an abundanc of labwork both routine and urgent to me, and we talked about each and he put in the orders. He added some of his own due to my concerns. , for which I am grateful. I was perfectly at ease the entire time and will listen closely to what he has to say when we discuss those lab results. I feel an innate ability to trust and confide this warm and personable Dr. and what a relief that is!
