Dr.Kassa is amazing. He goes through everything, explaining things in a way that's simple to understand. He genuinely cares about my condition and also addresses other conditions of previous treatments, he also is attentive of my medical history outside of synergy as not to prescribe conflicting medicine or treatment. Personally and professionally he's great guy. He's a doctor that still greats you with a handshake and a smile.
