This is the 2nd review I have left regarding Dr. Asser. My initial visit with him was a handful of years ago. I was having some real issues at that time with almost constant run away heart palpitations. I was beyond miserable. I couldn't sleep. I didn't know what was going on. My previous cardiologist had me on a specific medication for this which initially worked very well but over a period of time (years) was not at all effective and I had reached the maximum dosage. At that initial visit Dr. Asser was already completely familiar with my past history, heart monitor tests, etc. He told me that in his opinion I should never have been on the medication to begin with and he would not continue it. I was definitely not on board with this, however, after he patiently explained his reasoning, pointed out the side effects I was obviously experiencing and I considered my other options (zero), I was weaned off the drug. It took a while for me to start feeling any improvement but eventually I slowly came around. To say that Dr. Asser's involvement improved the quality of my life is a colossal understatement. I don't have the palpitations anymore or, if I do, they fly under the radar. I've seen him annually since. 5 stars every time. Patient, professional, informative, friendly. I think the guy saved my life, maybe, maybe not but he most assuredly saved my sanity. I was a real basket case (not an over statement).

Being Asser's patient has been my worst medical experience. There is no follow up, pre-or post procedure, the lack of empathy and bedside manner is appalling. If you wish to be treated as a number, and not a person with a critical medical issue, this is the medical practice for you.

He is the rudest doctor I have ever dealt with. He was the doctor on call, and when he called me back, he complained that he was driving in traffic and I was making g his driving difficult. He also gave me medical advice that was in conflict with another doctor and he would not let me explain

DR. Alexander Asset is an excellent electrocardiologist. He did a very complicated cardiac ablaision on me. Also he is very dedicated to his patients.
