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.

Others already mentioned that Dr. Assad is a great listener, but I cannot think of a better description. He doesn't rush, he explains things well, and he makes you feel that he has nothing more important to do than to listen closely and to solve your health problems. I'd also give him a 10 if possible.

I'm recently retired and moved back into RI. I needed a new PCP and found Dr Assad. I went for a checkup and found him to be a great listener, very thorough and explained my issues in great detail. Never felt rushed! I would highly recommend him.
