Doctor Assikis is professional, knowledgeable, and seems to truly care about me as a patient.

Review for Dr. Assikis
We sat waiting for a long time and the doctor only came in for 2 mins. Told us get an x-ray and then the office sent a bill in the mail for nearly 400 bucks. Would not recommend. Look up Southeast Medical Group - they are known for overcharging patients.

Review for Dr. Patel
Dr. Kancherla is awesome, he explains everything very well. He has great bed side manners. When you talk to him, you feel like he is really listening to everything you say. Always answer any questions and never makes you feel rushed. Always smiling, happy atmosphere. Wonderful surgeon!

Review for Dr. Kancherla
What stood out more than anything is the improved quality of service in that the wait time was minimal, and the efficiency bar none is better than I’ve experience in ANY doctor’s office. I’ve been going to this office for three years now and whatever change they made….its working!
