Dr. Valerie Asher, MD

She is the coldest doctor I have ever been to. I only went to her because it's where I got referred to, but I will never return.

Terrible bedside manner - unpleasant and abrupt

Horrible bedside manner, didn't say hello, pointed at a chair and said "sit there". Robotic, didn't explain anything -- and when she went to do an extraction procedure from my ear, she shoved my head down without warning, no explanation of what's going on. When finished she said - "Get up. You can follow the yellow arrows out". Hard to believe this woman is still in practice.

She was impatient. Poor bedside manners. I would not recommend her to anyone.

She was not patient with me and I felt like she was not happy dealing with me, I might me wrong but I felt that because Latino, like I said I felt that.

I have seen Dr. Asher once a year for the last 7 years for hearing loss related issues including an annual ear cleaning. She is knowledgeable professional and an expert in her field. Can't ask for more!

I have had the privilege of being Dr. Asher’s patient for 10 years after being diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma. She was caring and listened carefully to my many concerns as she helped me navigate multiple treatment options. She is always extremely responsive to questions and concerns during and between visits. Dr. Asher is very knowledgeable and informative. Visits are extremely thorough; I never feel rushed and follow up care continues to be excellent.

while seemingly knowledgable and competent from a layman's perspective, her bedside manner is among the worst I have ever seen of any doctor and I am in my 60s, so I have seen many different types of doctors over my lifetime!!. She really needs to go to charm school to learn how to talk to her patients (she was rude, arrogant, exhibited serious attitude, etc....) in a more professional manner. Maybe she can have some dialogue with Dr. Nottingham about improving her very sub-par bedside manner!

Dr. Asher is the best doctor I ever met. My son had a severe preauricular pit infection with skin turning red and purple. We had seen a couple of ENT doctors, and took more than one-month long antibiotics treatment, but my son's condition didn't improve. Finally, we found Dr. Asher in Maryland. She removed the stuff inside the infected area in our first office visit. I was so impressed by her rich knowledge and skills. She also has a very comforting manner when she performed procedure.

Dr. Asher has been my ENT for the past decade. She has successfully treated me for several tonsil, throat and ear conditions. Most recently she reversed sudden hearing loss. She is an outstanding doctor and surgeon and is super smart. I highly recommend her. She takes time with her patients and is one of the best doctors I have met. Sometimes you have to wait a bit but it is because she spends time with her patients.

It's my good fortune to have been recently treated by Dr. Asher for an ear infection that was serious and excruciating. She saw me on short notice, understood the severity at once and was, within moments, working on my ear. Two days later, concerned about my progress, she arranged for care at a hospital - she personally delivered my cultures as I was being admitted. I'm so much better- progressing well. Dr. A was knowledgeable, straightforward, decisive, responsive, caring - and I am grateful.

Dr. Asher is a very competent ear, nose and throat doctor. She helped me with an ear problem right away that other doctors could not diagnose. I am going back to her whenever I have a problem!

I don't think the surgery Dr Asher recommended and performed for me was advisable and it left me with problems I didn't have before. I wish I had gotten a second opinion.
