July 29, 2026Toni M.Verified patient
I’m a new patient, and I had a 4 minute phone call with him. I didn’t feel reassured and he sounded too busy and diagnosed me right away. I did ask if I could get seen from a specialist to put my mind at ease and he said he will give me the information. He asked questions and said if I’m actively listening to his questions. I answered quick. But 4 minute phone call as a new patient? Just wow.

?An amazing, confident doctor who truly listens.
?Dr. Sameh Askandar is a phenomenal physician. He is a great listener, very relaxed, and deeply confident in his approach, which makes you feel entirely safe in his care. He also treated my daughter recently, and his patient, joyful approach put her at ease right away. After a long time of her taking ineffective medication from an ENT, Dr. Askandar pinpointed the correct treatment on our very first visit, and it worked from the very first dose. He is knowledgeable, accurate, and wonderful with kids!
