SHC Patient, Mar 2020
everything was good and professionally
SHC Patient, Mar 2020
Dr. Aasi and her entire team are wonderful. Thank you!
SHC Patient, Mar 2020
Dr. Aasi is an amazing doctor. She is very professional and has such awesome knowledge and skills. The removal of my melanoma on my face was a HUGE area BUT she knew exactly how and where to do it to minimize the scarring and her concern for making sure that she removed ALL the cancer was so reassuring to me.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
I was not consulted regarding the type of surgery I needed for my skin cancers. I didn't expect to be. I fully trust my surgeon and believe she gave me the best care for my type of condition.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
I was pleased to find an alternative to invasive surgery.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
Great Team was very happy.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
The doctor was very rushed and uncaring. she offered no explanation during procedure and did not check on me throughout. I was nervous and she did not care.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
there was no time wasted, but i was given their complete focus
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
The Dr. who provided the stitches for my surgery did excellent work, and provided excellent information on the care of the incision site.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
Excellent patient care, everything was explained to me very well and questions were answered. During the procedure, I was guided through each step so I knew what to expect. They were also very kind and courteous to my husband who is waiting for me to complete the procedure
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
Outstanding - could not have been treated better
SHC Patient, Jan 2020

SHC Patient, Jan 2020
Dr. Aasi is great!
SHC Patient, Jan 2020
the doctor was excellent. Described possible options and as it turned out none where needed immediately. She explained everything going down the road and they referred me to a more local dermatologist in the South Bay area where I live. Overall a very pleasant experience
SHC Patient, Jan 2020
Exceptional, professional care and surgery !!!!!
SHC Patient, Jan 2020
The Doctor and support staff were very professional, caring and supportive
SHC Patient, Jan 2020
Great.
SHC Patient, Jan 2020
I really didn't feel like I was a patient. I just felt like a procedure. The doctor and staff perform the same procedure day in and day out, so for them it's just something they do. For me, this was a first time thing and I was scared. I didn't feel any compassion towards me from the staff. I felt worse emotionally after I left the appointment. Like I was the one who did something wrong because I was unsure about the procedure. I felt like my questions were answered but without concern that I had never gone through the experience before. it made me very sad that I didn't feel taken care of when I specifically chose to go to this Stanford clinic.
SHC Patient, Jan 2020
Staff was very tuned into bleeding issues and followed up with useful advice. They tell where there was a minor wound care issue at home.
SHC Patient, Dec 2019
Good experience.
SHC Patient, Dec 2019

SHC Patient, Nov 2019
good
SHC Patient, Nov 2019
Dr. Aasi was efficient yet I never felt shortchanged. What Dr. Aasi didn't have time to discuss with me she asked her residents and nurses to communicate to me. I felt if I needed Dr. Aasi's direct input, it would have been mine. Kara and Dr. Moses were great.
SHC Patient, Nov 2019
It was a great experience
SHC Patient, Nov 2019
The doctor/surgeon probably my most favorite medical person ever. She was so calming & down to earth & I do not have enough superlatives to express my gratitude to her!

Dr Aasi and her team are EXCELLENT.
SHC Patient, Oct 2019
lmpressive Doctor!
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Sometimes Dr. Aasi races through, making it difficult to communicate/ask questions. Sometimes the questions are clarifying questions and take back & forth dialogue to form the question.
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Dr. Aasi is amazing! Very competent and extremely thorough.
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Again excellent doctors, doctor's assistant, & nurse.

SHC Patient, Sep 2019
I was treated with respect and kindness. I was well informed during the procedures. I felt like the focus was definitely on me and my surgery. They really tried to make this difficult situation the best possible for me.
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
The doctor was confident, direct, skilled, practical, and kind. This was the first time I'd met her.
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Dr. Asai, professional, clear communication , exhibits empathy. Great leader, manager and doctor
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Dr. Aasi was excellent in her surgical procedure and follow-up post surgery. her team followed her lead and the team was great!
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
Your clinic excels at calling patients after surgery!
SHC Patient, Sep 2019
I could have used more support and explination on care of the wound and how to bandage it. I left with what looked like a diaper on my nose. Some flesh coloured tape and bandages would have helped.
SHC Patient, Aug 2019
Friendly, caring and not a lot of wasting time. I could tell she is a very busy Doctor, but I gelt well cared for and not rushed.
SHC Patient, Aug 2019
Dr. Aasi is the best. Patient is lucky to have her as his/her surgeon. She is a great leader & teacher too. She is busy but always makes patient like me feel I'm in good hand with her & her team.

SHC Patient, Jul 2019
Doctor Aussie and staff are very thorough and nice
SHC Patient, Jul 2019
Dr Aasi and her team are highly-skilled professionals. They carry-out their activities very efficiently but also show genuine concern for patient's well-being and care.
SHC Patient, Jul 2019
Very easy to talk to.
SHC Patient, Jul 2019
I was very impressed with both the attending and resident physicians. They took the time to explain everything to me and my husband, and made sure that the local anesthetics were safe for my pregnancy. They were both extremely efficient but didn't feel at all rushed.
SHC Patient, Jul 2019
I feel I receive excellence care. Thank you!
SHC Patient, Jun 2019

What a blessing to be taken care of by such friendly and caring professionals. I am praying for all of you today. In Christ Jesus,
SHC Patient, Jun 2019
Never in my life have I been treated in such a condescending and dismissive manner by a care provider. I was really looking forward to having my skin issue resolved and while my condition wasn't treatable (I Understand that) the way the Doctor treated me and talked down to me was really unnecessary. I was pretty disappointed.
SHC Patient, May 2019
could not have been better
SHC Patient, May 2019
what do I say? it was a perfect experience for me!
SHC Patient, May 2019

SHC Patient, Mar 2019
Outstanding clinician
SHC Patient, Feb 2019
I have recommended my care provider Dr Aasi to a number of my friends and family already. She is a phenomenal doctor. She is incredibly smart, efficient and thorough, and very skilled at her surgical specialty. Listens to all the patients concerns and is genuinely sensitive to one's needs.
SHC Patient, Feb 2019
The care provider and the entire team were exceptional. I couldn't have asked for better care.

Outstanding. Reviewed treatment options, settled on the right one, modified on the fly as needed. Very patient and unhurried. Excellent.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
i felt completely informed every step of the way... and was asked often if i was uncomfortable or in any pain.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
Very grateful for the sensitive care I received at this appointment. My diagnosis and education about the procedure were handled very well. I am still nervous but I'm confident I'm getting the right treatment by a highly qualified practitioner.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
Dr Aasi was genuinely concerned over my health issue and provided clear explanations regarding options and treatments ...
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
absolutely one of the best doctors I've ever had.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
During my visit there was some concern that a report that was prepared by a non-Stanford facility was unclear. My doctor did an excellent job of explaining the situation, any potential options and any potential risks that those options may present and then including me in the decision on how to proceed.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
Felt comfortable and left knowing I was in the best of care.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
Dr Aasi inspires confidence and explains well what she is doing.
SHC Patient, Jan 2019
Dr. Aasi is absolutely fantastic & I felt that I was in very capable hands. She is both friendly & matter-of-fact & she has a good sense of humor, which I needed during what was a scary time for me.
SHC Patient, Dec 2018
Your The Best !!
SHC Patient, Dec 2018
none, everyone is doing their job professionally.
SHC Patient, Dec 2018
The physician (surgeon) explained that due to the pathology report, my condition would not require surgery and could be best treated with a topical cream. This was good news!
SHC Patient, Dec 2018
Dr. Aasi was wonderful; I feel very fortunate to be in her care.
SHC Patient, Dec 2018
Excellent quality of care

Everything was the best!
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
all OK
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
Always Excellent
SHC Patient, Nov 2018

SHC Patient, Nov 2018
Dr. Aasi is an outstanding doctor.
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
Everything about your care is top shelf!
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
I had a fantastic experience -- Dr. Aasi and her team made a stressful procedure (Moh's procedure on my lower eyelid) relatively easy/easy as possible. I really appreciate how calmly and thoroughly they explained everything.
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
Dr.Aasi is Aawesome!
SHC Patient, Nov 2018
very pleased
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Decisions about this procedure were made prior to the procedure, and yes, I was informed about them and included in making them. I feel like once the procedure was decided upon there really weren't any decisions left to be made. That being said, at no time did I feel like things were forced on me without my consent. The entire staff was great about keeping me informed and addressing any questions or concerns I had during the procedure.
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Professional handling of problem, surgical performance, was of highest nature. Dr. Aasi was much appreciate.
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Excellent
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Dr. Aasi is a thorough, wise, doctor. I can trust her, absolutely!!!
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Dr. Aasi and her team are an excellent resource for dermatologic surgery. They are a highly professional, courteous, caring, and knowledgeable group!
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Very good.
SHC Patient, Oct 2018
Dr Assasi is a no nonsense kind of person really appreciated her knowledge and direct approach.
SHC Patient, Sep 2018
We felt that she and her care team really wonderful best for my mother-in-law.
SHC Patient, Sep 2018
Dr Assi seemed eager to finish with me--let someone else do it--"go see a local dermatoligst"
SHC Patient, Aug 2018
Dr. Aasi is top notch. The doctor who did the stitching was super too; I didn't get her name, however.
SHC Patient, Aug 2018
I was glad to see concern about my pain level during the surgical procedure. Would have liked a better explanation about why the incision was so much longer than initially planned. I don't think anything the doc did was wrong, I just didn't understand the intraoperative decisions.
SHC Patient, Aug 2018
very high marks here!
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
very clear and direct in guidance from Dr. Aasi.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
Dr Aasi , Prafulla, Kristine, and everyone who assisted are wonderful, caring, people
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
Fabulous.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
Dr. Aasi and her assistants were absolutely the best one could expect. I really appreciate Dr. Aasi's care and concern.

SHC Patient, Jul 2018

SHC Patient, Jul 2018
Nurse provider was excellent. Doctor was good, but very quick and although we knew what we needed to do, there was no time for questions.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
Dr. Kiao is a fabulous, caring, very knowledgeable Dr.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
I am quite happy with the care and skill provided by Dr. Aasi. She is a very good surgeon who is also good across the spectrum of patient care, including compassion and clear communication.
SHC Patient, Jul 2018
I feel very fortunate that I have the opportunity to experience the care and attention afforded me.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
good experience but the doctor always seemed like she was in a hurry. While I understand she may be very busy, I simply wanted a bit more time to help me process the information I was being provided while I was still in a state of shock. My personal vanity may have clouded a lot of the ideas/decisions going through my head but I still have yet to meet with the doctor again to discuss whether or not the Mohs procedure was sufficient in removing all of the melanoma on my ear. I'm sure I will feel more at ease once I meet with her in a few days.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
The doctor was very through told me everything I needed.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
Dr. Asai is amazing in every way. i couldn't be happier.
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
Dr. Aasi and her entire staff are top of the top!
SHC Patient, Jun 2018
Dr. Aasi is so good and i trust her completely.
SHC Patient, May 2018
Dr. Aasi,s competence, concern and courtesy rate an "excellent", and these qualities are reflected in her staff.
SHC Patient, May 2018
she was great! she explained possible outcomes and efforts to ensure the surgery was successful
SHC Patient, May 2018
Dr. Aasi was a pleasure to work through this issue with. She was careful to explain everything to us in a meaningful manner, and we really felt we (my wife and I) were part of the medical team.
SHC Patient, May 2018
Dr. Aasi & her team are TOP NOTCH. I only wish all dr.'s were like her. I felt I was in the best hands.
SHC Patient, May 2018
It is suggested that Stanford Health collaborate with Stanford University to research and perfect cloning. Once cloning is perfected, you may want to consider cloning Dr. Aasi.
SHC Patient, May 2018
Surgeon, resident, nurses - the best!!!
SHC Patient, May 2018
Dr. Aasi is wonderful! Everything she diagnosed and treated was accurate, extremely well-done, and successful. I am much better off now thanks to Dr. Aasi's skill, knowledge and talent. Her advice was very helpful, and completely accurate. Thank you!
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
Dr. Aasi is fantastic, thorough, and provides excellent service always!
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
Thank you for your compassion, in addition to your extraordinary skill and talent in every aspect of my care.
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
Dr Aasi and staff are excellent, and a repeat customer is proof.
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
Decisions about my treatment are not for me to make, but Dr. Aasi
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
Everyone, and Sumaira Aasi in particular, was great.
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
Dr. Aase is a favorite among my experience with physicians. Not only her skill but her demonstrable kindness and manner is rare and greatly appreciated.
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
Excellent.
SHC Patient, Apr 2018
very good
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
they dont get any better tan dr aasi!!!!!!!!!
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
absolutely trust the provider!
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
Dr. Aasi is very good!
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
Dr. Assai is a truly amazing example of someone who is incredibly smart, talented, and extremely skilled and artful at what she does, yet is also kind, thoughtful, very helpful and supportive. The value of her acumen and bedside manner cannot be overstated --this facial procedure felt like it could have horrifyingly brought my deepest fears to life. I cannot imagine having felt like I was in any better hands for this scary experience, than I felt with Dr. Assai (plus with the comforting, efficient & stellar nursing staff Profulla, Susan and Christine) I am deeply grateful to her for removing the unexpectedly large amount of skin CA from my face, while artfully minimizing the disturbing effects and assuring me that the scarring would not be as terrible as it immediately seemed. Although this was the absolute worst & most disturbing medical procedure I have ever experienced, Dr. Assai and her crew somehow managed to also make this the best medical experience I've ever had.
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
Everyone involved was fantastic
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
Probably one of the best derm. surgeons in Bay Area, even recommended by nurses and doctors!
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
I do every day to everybody.
SHC Patient, Mar 2018
Susan was great...she did the numbing and helped assist during procedure.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
really top notch. felt like we were in the best place/hands possible
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
Dr. Aasi is excellent--very thorough, careful, and knowledgeable. She is patient-centered and very professional.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
Dr. Aasi knows her stuff. I would recommend her to another person.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
I have recommended Dr. Aasi to several friends already.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
I will never be able to fully express my superlatives for all Dr. Aasi does. Her skills as a surgeon are unbelievable, but more importantly her sincere care for patients is an example for all!
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
First time ever been there or had this procedure so I was nervous and they (all nurses) and especially Dr. Aasi were very caring!
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
I feel so fortunate for care from Dr. Aasi and all workers at Stanford Dermatology. Extremely professional.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
good
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
Dr Aasi takes the time to explain possible outcomes, which direction she thinks is best.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
I have no doubt the Dr. is very good at what she does and I'm pleased with the outcome, but she certainly gave me the impression of having way too much on her plate to spend any more than the minimum amount of time with me, not that I required or expected a lot of hand holding.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
Dr Aasi is clearly at the top of her profession. She took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns, and she is very kind and compassionate.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
They never appeared rushed. Spent the time with both myself and my husband without looking at watch or looking irritated.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
Dr. Aasi is "one of a kind"; brilliant, efficient, compassionate, informed and though "fast" I never felt rushed!
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
Dr. Aasi did superb technical surgery removing two dermal lesions and was very professional and caring in all interactions.
SHC Patient, Feb 2018
I have had plenty of experience in my life with other health care providers including UCSF down to for profit clinics. Having had that range of experience I feel completely justified in saying I would (and have) recommend Stanford for any health care need. I have no illusions about Stanford being inhumanly perfect but, you guys are as good as health care can get in this day and age.
SHC Patient, Jan 2018
I have already recommended Dr. Aasi to a friend. She is a no-nonsense physician but her compassion is very evident.
SHC Patient, Jan 2018
Dr Aasi and staff are excellent!
SHC Patient, Jan 2018
As alway, Care Privider was respectful, professional and I had complete confidence in her.
SHC Patient, Jan 2018
Very nice and knowledgeable people.
SHC Patient, Jan 2018

SHC Patient, Dec 2017
Excellent experience.
SHC Patient, Dec 2017
I have seen a many good doctors at Stanford, but Dr. Aasi is the best. She puts everything into helping her patients.
SHC Patient, Dec 2017
The care I was give was outstanding.
SHC Patient, Dec 2017
Dr. Aasi explains so you understand the next step. Also, she gave a good list of dermatologist she recommend as the one I was seeing had left Stanford. Very caring! (And thorough!).
SHC Patient, Dec 2017
Surgical super hero team! Proficient, confidence in what they were doing.
SHC Patient, Dec 2017
Very good.
SHC Patient, Nov 2017
the provider and her nurse were excellent

All nurses and the doctor were highly competent and explained everything very clearly to me, made me feel at ease.
SHC Patient, Nov 2017
What can I say? You are great!
SHC Patient, Nov 2017
Dr. Aasi was the perfect physician in helping us to understand the patient's options and conditions.
SHC Patient, Nov 2017
The entire team was excellent.
SHC Patient, Nov 2017
I appreciate the high level of communication between Dr Aasi and my dermatologist at Mayo Clinic.
SHC Patient, Nov 2017
Dr. Aasi is the most compassionate and skilled physician I have ever had the pleasure to see for my health care needs. She explained everything in terms I understood. She answered all my questions and showed me exactly what the surgery would involve. She was genuinely pleased with how well I am healing and she has always been available to answer any questions I may send her through MyHealth online. She truly cares and as a result made me feel cared for and comfortable and glad to see her. I would highly recommend her.
SHC Patient, Oct 2017
Very kind,caring and professional. She was just so wonderful in all aspects!
SHC Patient, Oct 2017
Dr Aasi is amazing, knowledgeable, extremely skilled and compassionate. Even called me from out of state to address my concerns.
SHC Patient, Oct 2017
I cannot imagine a better dr. than Dr. Aasi. Extremely knowledgeable, personal, and skilled. I was fortunate to have her for my Moh's procedure. She is the rock-star class of drs!
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
Used layperson language. When, as a health professional myself, I wished to know the technical terms, I was given them readily.
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
I have been cared for by Dr Aasi and her staff three times over several years. Two MOHS and one PDT. She is such a professional. Superb communication. Very caring. Extremely capable. I have never had any wound trouble. My stitches are excellent. Healing is without any pain or bleeding. I am very grateful for the quality care I receive
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
Dr. Aasi was excellent!
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
I really liked the dermatologist - she spent quality time with me and answered all my questions directly and specifically. I feel like everyone I encountered respected me as an informed patient.
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
Doctor seemed a bit rushed first thing in the morning. Asked questions and asked more questions over my answers. But I would not hold this against her because everything that happened after that was fantastic. She explained everything she was doing as she did it. She gave explanations of good depth and was very willing to answer any questions I may have had. I loved the fact that she explained everything I needed to know to take care of my sutures after I went home AND the best part was that I was also given these instructions in written form which were written with good depth and explanation. I referred to those instructions for 3 or 4 days, as the wound healed and changed. A couple days after the surgery I became concerned that my suture broke. I used myHealth to send a photo of what the sutures looked like and a nurse got back to me within an hour. It really helped to have access to someone from the doctors office to tell me if something was really wrong. As it turned out, everything was OK. I am so glad I didn't have to worry for hours over this needlessly. All in all, my experience was excellent and I can say with confident that I trusted this doctor and felt she had the experience to do what needed to be done. I also really like the fact that all of the doctors notes, biopsy results, diagnosis etc. are in myHealth. This is going to be so important to me in the future.
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
The sugary went very well with no pain at all.
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
Both physician and nurse were completely prepared and ready for me. They worked well together.
SHC Patient, Sep 2017
Even though she was running late, she clearly took the needed time to be thorough.

SHC Patient, Jun 2017
only complaint was the numbing process could have been more considerate. I brought a driver so I could have something for the anxiety. Right after I was given it, the needles started without any reprieve. Be considerate of patient's fears.
SHC Patient, May 2017
Dr. Aasi is incredible! Her professionalism, dedication, and concern and brilliance are superlative!
SHC Patient, May 2017

I feel lucky to live in the Bay Area and I am very fortunate to have access to such high quality, experienced medical professionals like Dr. Aasi and all of her nurses. They are the best.
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
My surgical team was great!
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
Excellent surgeon!
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
Excellent Doctor (and team), but under time pressure.
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
I cannot say enough about the immediate and wonderful care provided to me by Dr. Sumaira Aasi. First of all, I dropped in to see if I could get an early-morning "drop-in" appointment with someone at the clinic and Dr. Aasi was very gracious to see me before she started her appointments for the day. She was very conversational about what she saw in my healing wound and was forthcoming to explain to me everything she was thinking about the wound, how I could improve my wound care, and assured me that the wound was NOT infected, which is what prompted me to stop by the clinic in the first place. Dr. Aasi spent precious time explaining to me how to improve the care of my wound, exposing it to air to let it dry, keeping it dressed with Vaseline, and making sure that I had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Hollmig (the original surgeon) the following week. Dr. Hollmig was not in the clinic that day. Dr. Hollmig did a follow-up call later that day. I don't know what I did to deserve the VIP treatment...possibly they had me confused with someone on Trump's Transition Team...who knows...but I was receiving First Class treatment!!! I felt very cared for and it was made very clear that I was to call at any time if I felt the wound was not healing as it should or if I became concerned about infection. Dr. Aasi also noted that I had a severe athlete's foot skin condition and she prescribed Econazole cream which has since cured a chronic leprosy-like skin problem which I have had with both feet forever. As I stand right now, I have a rather extraordinary condition of Extremely Happy Feet!!!
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
Dr. Aasi is an outstanding clinician and a very kind person.
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
I really can't imagine a better experience!
SHC Patient, Dec 2016
These will all be great because it all went as well as could be
SHC Patient, Nov 2016

SHC Patient, Nov 2016
I am really happy with all the care and services I received here!
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
Excellent!
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
I have only the most favorable comments about Dr. Aasi (who had operated on me a few years ago and wisely advised me on a possible cancer problem which resolved itself as she had suspected). She has amazing surgical skills, excellent communication and it shows that she obviously cares a great deal about her patients and their healthy outcomes. I think she is the best doctor I have had in my 85 years. I had initially gone to my local eye doctor for a possible stye and was delighted to discover that his surgical colleague regularly cooperates with Dr. Aasi on this kind of problem!
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
excellent from start to finish
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
Dr Aasi is very kind and care about her patient. She gave me good explanations about my condition and gave assurance for my worries. Her assistants or team members are also very helpful, friendly and courteous.

SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Dr. Aasi is very kind and care about patient, she performs an excellent excision the cyst on my back and exams throughout. Her team members are also very helpful, friendly and courteous.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Dr. Aasi is one of the best doctors that we ever met. She was very concern about my moms condition that she wanted me to bring her back the next day so the doctor could check on her progress since she was bleeding a lot and a few other medical concerns. Made me feel good about that.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Dr. Aasi was able to talk and work at the same time - clear & responsive.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Treated the problem I was referred for and also suggested and provided other treatments while I was there. Excellent care!
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Dr. Aashi is awesome. I would recommend her very highly. She is an expert, an excellent doctor and a compassionate person. I felt very lucky to be able to get her for my surgery.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Dr. Aasi (dermatologist) is the best.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
I definitely had confidence in this person.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
some small difference between verbal and written instructions regarding care.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Dr. Aasi did the hard part of surgery, Dr. Kuo did all the graph & stitching for (1/2 hrs.) Both were exceptional professionals. Very caring and skillful.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
I couldn't be more pleased or impressed with Dr. Aasi. She shows genuine caring and spends as much time as necessary with me. Since I will be away from the Bay Area for awhile, she suggested we stay in touch using photos and messages on MyHealth so she can monitor my progress. This is great!
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Dr. Aasi is very competent and a good communicator
SHC Patient, Aug 2016
Dr. Aasi is fabulous! I feel very blessed to have someone of her caliber. Thank you Stanford Health Care!

Dr. Aasi and the very competent staff gave me outstanding care and follow-up care.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
During my past surgeries, the surgeon explained the complete process before they began. This procedure was explained to me briefly.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
5-Star treatment and care. Dr. Aasi and her well-trained residents and nurses were exceptional. The skill, care, coordination and teamwork they displayed during my six-hour "procedure" was quite simply superb. I was in the good hands of great people. Whew!
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Dr. Aazi is such a friendly, compassionate human being. We couldn't feel more confident or reassured with her care.

SHC Patient, Jul 2016
I was very impressed with Dr Aasi and her resident. Both were very professional and had a very nice personal manner.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Dr. Aasi was very credible - she explained things clearly and concisely and didn't ever make me feel rushed. Mauricia tailored my after-care options to the fact that I would have a hard time changing the bandage, and both made me feel like I was in the best possible hands. I felt so comfortable the whole time - to the point that I almost forgot that I wasn't there for an elective surgery.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
I loved Dr. Aasi and have already recommended her to a friend looking for a derm surgeon. She didn't seem rushed, took time to explain everything, and made me feel very relaxed. And her technique is impeccable - I felt almost no pain and there was no bruising, which is impressive given the depth of the procedure!
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Dr. Aasi is an extremely knowledgeable and skillful surgeon. She explained things very well also.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
We felt very confident with all of the providers that we worked with on that day. It was a pleasure working with them.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Wonderful Dr. and staff.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
After this experience, I would not want any other care provider. I would and will recommend her to anyone and everyone who might need dermatological surgery in the future.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Care provider recommended further evaluation by other providers ,but referrals were never made. I even send two messages regarding this .but never received an answer.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Beyond excellent
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Dr. Aasi is a TERRIFIC surgeon.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Dr. Aasi is stellar. This is my second surgery with her and she does a great job genuinely listening to me, keeping me informed of what is going on, and working with me to determine the best options for my specific situation.

SHC Patient, Jan 2016
I have been seeing Dr Assi for a year. She performed Mohs surgery on my nose which ended up needing a graft. She was extremely capable and her manner was both caring and professional. I had a few issues around the problems listed above. i would email her through My Health and either she or one of the nurses would get back to me the same day. I was able to send them photos through my Health which was very helpful. They always responded very quickly and addressed my concerns and answered my questions. Dr Assi and her team have always consistently been the best!
SHC Patient, Jan 2016
Highly competent and professional

Very thoroughal. I couldn't have asked for more, everyone was exceptionally wonderful. Again, not sure 5 is high enough
SHC Patient, Aug 2015

SHC Patient, Aug 2015
Dr. Aasi and her team (Dr. Gee, resident and Christina Saucedo (Clinical Nurse) provided me with absolutely superior medical treatment and care. They all made me feel comfortable for a truly uncomfortable procedure and I felt I was under the care of very competent and extremely nice and respectful health care providers. I don't think it gets much better than this. Dr. Aasi has an especially comforting bedside manner and it is clear she is excellent at what she does. Dr. Gee's bedside mannner as a resident was also exceptional and I'm sure he will make a very fine Dermatologist or Dermatology surgeon, if that's the path he chooses. I am very grateful that I was able to receive such excellent from this amazing Stanford team!
SHC Patient, Jul 2015

Dr. Aasi gave me information about possible variations in the cost of the medication depending on the insurance company or pharmacy. This was very helpful.
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
I consider myself very fortunate to be in Dr. Aasi's care and I've told her so. She never fails to listen carefully to anything I have to say and our relationship relative to my care is best described as collaborative. Most important, she never makes me feel rushed or that our meeting has to be hurried along. I realize she's busy and has other patients to see, yet we manage to use our time together efficiently and we all come away satisfied.
SHC Patient, Jun 2015
All experiences have been excellent.
SHC Patient, Apr 2015

Dr. Aasi is an amazing doctor. She is very professional and has such awesome knowledge and skills. The removal of my melanoma on my face was a HUGE area BUT she knew exactly how and where to do it to minimize the scarring and her concern for making sure that she removed ALL the cancer was so reassuring to me.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
I was not consulted regarding the type of surgery I needed for my skin cancers. I didn't expect to be. I fully trust my surgeon and believe she gave me the best care for my type of condition.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
I was pleased to find an alternative to invasive surgery.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
Great Team was very happy.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
The doctor was very rushed and uncaring. she offered no explanation during procedure and did not check on me throughout. I was nervous and she did not care.
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
there was no time wasted, but i was given their complete focus
SHC Patient, Feb 2020
The Dr. who provided the stitches for my surgery did excellent work, and provided excellent information on the care of the incision site.
