Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I saw Dr. Asmussen for suspected scoliosis and to address the symptoms associated with it. He was 30 minutes late to the appointment and did not acknowledge it. He asked where the pain was, then rushed me through explaining it saying "Yep" between every word I said. He then dismissed my symptoms and recommended I just deal with it and take painkillers for the rest of my life. He didn't even take X-rays to confirm what was going on with my spine. Office environment was generally unpleasant, unprofessional, and COVID-19 safety precautions were sloppy at the TRIA Bloomington office location. Don't waste your time!

He was very articulate & humane in explaining my spinal problem, therefore easy to work with, and he went out of his way to point me to additional resources. A year after my severe stenosis put me in a wheel chair, I can now hike and bike for hours without pain. Thanks!
