After asking my PCP for a referral I read reviews and made an appointment with Dr Kassar.  I just wanted a dr to listen to my symptoms and run a few more tests. I met Dr Kassar today, very warm bedside manner, understood why I had some concerns despite being a pretty healthy woman. He ordered a few more tests which is all I wanted. If you are concerned about your thyroid or hormones, make an appointment!
