Patient Reviews
May 14, 2021
Have been seeing Dr. Assimos for a few years now and he and his staff are excellent. He removed a kidney stone for me in 2018. He explains everything very well. Listens and answers all my many questions. My recent telehealth visits are great too, always on time and efficient. Nurse Harvey is extremely responsive and helpful. Both Assimos and Harvey gave me their cell numbers for emergencies which is rare these days. Excellent Doctor and staff. Facilities downtown are a little difficult to get to and parking in the garage is tight, but that is typical of downtown. Once in the Kirkland Clinic, check-in and labs are very efficient with nice waiting areas.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. Dean Assimos, MD.
