I saw Dr. Kassel at the Dobson office of Tri-City Cardiology. Can't say enough about how thorough he was with his exam and history and how kind he was in his detailed explanations. Yes the wait was long to see him but in fairness I had a late morning appointment and he gave me all the time that was needed to evaluate my problem and discuss a diagnosis and treatment plan. I am pretty sure he didn't get a lunch break. So if I had to wait to see him, it was because he was giving the same care and attention to those patients that preceded me that morning. That is a good thing because most people coming to see a cardiologists are in need of explanation and support and that takes extra time. Dr. Kassel practices not only the science of medicine but the art, which is rare in these days of what can feel like assembly line medicine. An excellent diagnostician with amazing bedside manner, he takes whatever time is needed to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and explain in detail his findings and recommendations. I would put a plus next to my 5 star review if that was an option. Best of the best!
