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.

Dr. Bassin is a wonderful doctor. She is warm and compassionate, a very good listener and an excellent practitioner. She explains diagnoses and treatment plans in a way that is easy to follow. I like that Dr. Bassin files her notes with much detailed accuracy and without delay. She has a calming demeanor and is always in the moment. Dr. Bassin, as well as her team are patient-focused. I feel safe and well cared for. This is especially important to me because my wife accompanies me on my visits. I feel Dr. Bassin respects us, sees us and acknowledges us.

Amazing doctor
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer twice between 2020 to 2024, doctor Bassin was there to answer questions and concerns every step of my journey . But, what made her stand out was her compassion, a hug when I cried, and always reassuring me I was in good hands. Dr. Bassin is also very knowledgeable and precise in her plan for removing cancer, and ensuring patients have the best possible care with her panel of doctors. She is truly amazing.

Excellent experience
Nobody is excited about needing surgery but Dr Bassin made me feel comfortable from the office visit to the surgery. She explained the procedure well. She took the time to listen and didn’t rush onto the next thing. She is wonderful and so is her staff.

Amazing Physician and Surgeon!! She performed breast surgery on me and there was ZERO bruising, swelling or pain -- that is voodoo! She has an incredible personality and is as smart as they make them. I rarely recommend doctors or surgeons, she is the exception.

Dr. Bassin and her staff are wonderful. They answer phones, return calls, answer questions, are punctual and knowledgeable. Dr. Bassin is compassionate, takes time to LISTEN and understand your concerns. You are a person first, not a symptom or number.
