I was in an auto accident in 1971, sustaining several fractures and partial paralysis.  I have been to several ortho surgeons and Pain Management doctors.  I have had approximately 40 surgeries.  I went to a Pain Management doctor who put me on Oxycontin, Durogesic patches, etc.  He finally put in a pain pump, filled with morphine.  He did not read my pump or ever check it.  I was allergic to morphine.

I finally found Dr. Assil (best day of my life).  He changed my meds, has done epidurals, and put dilaudid in my pain pump, and I feel great.  I am now a very active 78-year-old woman, (still on crutches, they are permanent).

His whole office and surgical staff are fantastic.  They are very polite, kind and caring as well as skillful.  I have recommended Dr. Assil to my family members and my friends who also now see Dr. Assil.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this man and his staff. I would talk to anyone who has any questions about any of the procedures Dr. Assil recommends.

I have been a patient of Dr Assil for nearly a decade and he has treated me for several issues. As a patient, quantifying and describing pain is challenging at best. Dr Assil has always been able to interpret my babble and make specific observations and recommendations. He has kept me mobile and my pain manageable which I hope will continue. I am so grateful and recommend Dr Assil to anyone who is seeking the highest level of knowledge, experience and care.

The examination was comprehensive, I would recommend Dr. Assil to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring physician.

Dr. Assil is a top-tier physician by all metrics. He immediately instills confidence in me as a patient derived from his obvious expertise, experience and empathy. Dr. Assil takes the time to lay out the exact problem and to make sure I understand all of the treatment options. I was refereed by my wife who is his patient and I now also will recommend him to any of my people who might suffering from spine-related pain. Thanks again, Dr. Assil.

I was referred to Dr. Assil by my internist due to severe pain in my leg and back due to an accident plus scoliosis. The first time I met him I felt that my pain level would be reduced. I had a series of epidural shots, which helped me temporarily. I could barely step down on my left leg when I first went to his office. Then I decided to have the spinal cord stimulator implanted. It was an easy procedure. My pain level decreased dramatically. I just returned from a Mediterranean cruise where I did a fair amount of walking and climbing on and off the ship. We will continue to enjoy life and traveling while under Dr. Assil's care.

You are truly a great doctor and you staff are also truly great. I will always recommend you to family, friends, and associates, if they ever need a great doctor.

Once again thank you very much!

I have had headaches and neck pains for years now. I have also been to neurologists and various pain specialists over the years. After the few MRIs I've had done over the years (I have degenerative disc disease), and the suggested epidurals I have been recommended, I finally decided to listen to a doctor (also in the area) and had an epidural. Well, it didn't help. In fact, I ended up getting a migraine after a few days, which I haven't had in years. I finally found Dr. Assil. He is the first doctor who actually decided to examine me, ask more questions and feel the muscles in my neck. His original thought was that all the problems I have are muscular. So he did some simple trigger point injections during my office visit. Although I didn't have immediate relief, I had relief in a couple of days. The second month I went back for more trigger point injections.? I was absolutely amazed!? I had NO headaches and NO neck pain for 6 whole weeks!? For me, this was absolutely incredible!? I have been dealing with neck pain on a daily basis, and headaches almost as frequently. I told Dr. Assil he is my favorite doctor. Another local doctor - well he just wants to keep sending me to his surgery center telling me that all these expensive procedures will probably help me. I still have my issues with pain and flare-ups, but I know I can manage them better once I am able to get back for another set of trigger point injections. And I only trust Dr. Assil :-)
