I highly recommend Dr. Bassi, he has wonderful bedside manner. I felt listened to and cared for. I feel as though he did thorough testing to get to the bottom of my symptoms. I was also seen right away, did not have to wait longer than 2 minutes. I was also the only patient in the office at the time which felt very personal and intentional. I will definitely keep going back.

The doctor was all business. But explained at every turn. He listened, he asked questions, and he examend. Within 20 minutes he knew what the problem was. he prescribed medications, and now I am on a path of healing. Urgent care could not figure out what was wrong with me. After taking X-rays, and performins many other tests they told me all was well. Very , disappointing!!

I cannot recommend Dr. Bassi highly enough. What truly sets him apart is their outstanding bedside manner and ability to listen. He was incredibly patient and attentive, allowing me to fully explain my symptoms and concerns without interruption. Dr. Bassi explained the treatment plan clearly and compassionately, making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. An absolutely excellent listener and caregiver.

Very attentive physician who was rushed to see me and heard me out for my issues and came up with a step by step process/referrals for me. Will be my primary doctor going forward.
July 25, 2025Scott P.Verified patient
Just had my first visit with Dr. Bassi and I was really impressed! First off, the location was super convenient—only a few minutes from home, which already made the whole experience less stressful. What really stood out, though, was how attentive Dr. Bassi was. I even told him in person that I appreciated how he actually sat and listened to both of the issues I came in for—no rush, no brushing things off. He asked thoughtful questions and took the time to clearly explain his concerns and next steps. It really felt like he cared and wanted to get to the bottom of things. Definitely glad I found him!
May 28, 2025Betty M.Verified patient

Very good listener. Visit was not at all rushed. Dr. Bassi took his time to listen and answer thoroughly. Also very thorough physical exam. He didn’t just look but took his time to assess.

My husband and I visited Dr. Bassi for our annual physical. We were new patients, and the nurses and the doctor were very friendly and informative. Dr. Bassi listened to both our concerns and thoroughly reviewed our medical history. He provided a lot of excellent insight and provided us with referrals. I did not feel rushed by the doctor and was very pleased with the experience. I am looking forward in choosing this clinic as my primary care provider for both myself and husband.
January 31, 2025Ian H.Verified patient
I had a great experience from the time I walked in to check in for my appointment the ladies at the front desk were very professional and very friendly. They truly care about their patients, and they are all very attentive and they truly a breath of fresh air in a world where customer service a lot of times can be little to none. Dr. Bassi was amazing. He listens to your concerns, he truly cares and is very warm. He listens to you and is very sympathetic, and empathetic to his patients concerns. He is thorough and such a breath of fresh air. I have not felt that warm and comfortable with a PCP in a long time. I'm used to being rushed and not too much cares for in certain physicians offices in the past. I would truly recommend Dr. Bassi to everyone looking for an overall professional, wonderful experience.
January 25, 2025Jason D.Verified patient
He was okay. It seemed like he didn’t give my problem too much attention or thought. I got the vibe that he just wanted to hurry up and finish my appointment; which I did not like at all.
January 16, 2025Kyle N.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. Bassi is a fresh of breath air in a world of medical providers that barely acknowledge you as a person and are only concerned about their meeting their daily quota. I recommend him to anyone that is looking for a primary care physician that cares about you and is willing to listen and then educate you about your choices. Both Dr. Bassi and his staff are wonderful and I feel fortunate to have found him, which was quite by chance. He is a valuable part of my healthcare team.

Dr. Bassi's flexible approach and commitment to prescribing medications only when truly necessary reflect his dedication to providing thoughtful, personalized care. Additionally, his clinic ensures minimal wait times, and his team is prompt in following up, making the entire experience seamless and efficient. His professionalism and genuine concern for his patients’ well-being make him an exceptional doctor.
