Dr. Asters has been my primary doctor for over 15 years. He takes the time to talk to me about any issue I may have. I always feel comfortable and never rushed. On occasion, he has referred me to great doctors in other fields of medicine. He is knowledgeable and personable. I will continue to go to Dr. Asters even though I no longer live in the city.

Dr. Astors is a wonderful doctor. He is patient and kind. He’s very understanding and listens to my concerns. He takes his time with me and helps me understand my best treatment options. What I love about him the most is that he is always available to talk. He puts his patients first and that is important to me. Sometimes I have to wait a bit to be seen but he is well worth the wait.

Good doctor.Profesional care! People say that waiting time is longer that is true why !? the subject is matter and it is your life ! He listens every parients carafully and asking questions about their problems. That is why his waiting time is longer. The staff who works there , they are not arrogant. I do not agree with all comments here! I can accept that his staff on counter all over , everywhere . He should be more orginized. I know the doctors have no time bc they work so hard but at least he can find somebody to clean up

If I can give this doctor and his rude, incompetent, staff zero stars I definitely would. His secretary is the rudest person I’ve ever encountered at a doctors office. Initially, she refused to book an appointment with the doctor. On the phone, she asked numerous questions and told me she was going to decide whether or not the doctor was going to see me. Since when do secretaries determine who gets to see the doctor? Also, she was annoyed that I didn’t speak Greek and kept asking several times “Do you speak Greek?” Since when is it required to speak Greek to book an appointment? From her rude and condescending tone, I should’ve known the doctor would be just as horrible. Dr Asters was abrupt and couldn’t wait to rush me out of the office. As a new patient I expected him to be a little more efficient. Do yourself a favor and find a more caring doctor and a more pleasant and efficient staff. Edit. I wanted to add that this Dr is trying to add fake positive reviews to counterattack any honest negative reviews. It’s very suspicious that once I posted my honest review that someone immediately posted a positive review trying to say the opposite of what I posted in my review. Do yourself the favor and avoid this doctor and his terrible staff.

Dr Asters is great. As of right now my problem has not been solved but he seems attentive and interested. His staff however is loud, rude, disorganized to the point of unprofessional and a health hazard, like leaving around garbage and open bottles of disinfectant from previous visits. Also never waited less than 90min per apt in a cold sitting room and another half hour in this dirty office. Dr Asters, you are losing patients because of your staff!!!
