    the entire team, beginning with [redacted], nurses in preop, admin in Dr. Asnis ([redacted]) to Dr. Asnis himself were not just good...they were all excellent (or any other superlative you want to use). All of them, went the extra mile, treated me with respect, and ultimately were simply human. Can't say enough (and I have 40+ yrs in health care). I am deeply appreciative.

    Provider had clearly reviewed all of the information related to my knee that had brought me to this appointment. Explained all possible treatment scenarios, solicited my input into the decision making process related to the go forward plan. Was also clearly very knowledgeable about the specific injury I was dealing with. Carefully explained expected outcomes of treatment plan along with all possible risks. Left the appointment feeling like I came to the right place.

    Great Dr who reviewed records very carefully and then gave me 4 clear options to move forward. Dr Asnis explained the options very clearly and concisely.

    Dr. Peter Asnis was very knowledgeable and helpful. They were able to get me in right away and were able to tell me accurately about what was going on with my knee and what the plan would be, especially as an athlete moving forward and being able to continue to play. So I would highly recommend Dr. Peter Asnis and his team. They've already done my shoulder and did an excellent job. So I actually, Came back to see them about my knee, and I've been seeing them for coming up on, I think, 14 years. So, great team, always come here because they're the best of the best, and they always get me back out on the ice. So, I guess that's all for now. And I definitely do recommend him to my friends who have knee and shoulder issues, or general orthopedic issues.

Everyone in the offices from the Dr. Asnis, his PA, [reacted] the nursing staff and the orthopedic brace specialist answered all of my questions and helped allay all of my worries and concerns. #1 Best experience in a medical office ever.
