Less than 1 year agoAO
Dr. Assam asked questions, listened to my answers. It was our first meeting, basically her getting to know me and my medical history. She asked had anyone discussed my blood tests results with me, which none of my previous doctors had. I like her! Another thing I like is that she didn’t book my next appointment for months out like others doctors. I don’t think I finally found a primary care doctor who cares like the doctors did in the “old” days! I would recommend Dr. Assam if you’re looking for a caring doctor.
One other thing, I have an aversion to doctors offices and she met with me virtually.

Dr. Larissa is truly exceptional. From her warm smiles, professionalism, and genuine care, she takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and makes you feel completely at ease. Her expertise and attention to detail are second to none, and it's clear she is deeply committed to her patients' well-being.
Whether it's your first visit or a follow-up, Dr. Larissa consistently goes above and beyond. You never feel rushed, and she always ensures you leave with a full understanding and a clear plan forward. It's rare to find a doctor who combines such knowledge and compassion with such dedication.
I couldn't recommend Dr. Larissa more highly—she's the kind of physician everyone hopes to find.

Dr. Larissa is incredibly knowledgeable, she listens, provides solutions and care. Usually I’m rushed with my visits and she took her time to listen to me and then provide solutions and wasn’t quick to recommend meds, which I really appreciate!
Thank you, Dr. Larissa!

Dr. Assam is a professional with a genuine heart for her patients. I was having challenges with my hip and she made sure that I got imaging done right away. She sent me the results as soon as it came back and discussed with me options to remedy the issue. Dr. Assam ensured that I understood the results and the subsequent course of action. She also followed up with me to see how I was progressing. I’m truly grateful for Dr. Assam’s time and care.

Dr.Assam is a one of a kind doctor! At every visit I feel heard and my concerns are always addressed. After being a patient with her for a bit now I have been able to tackle gynecological issues, hormonal imbalances, adjust my diet, and improve my overall health. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a personable, caring, and knowledgeable provider. You won’t regret it!
