Reviews
I have been under the care of Dr Asante for some years now and have always found him to be very attentive and caring, he explains everything in clear and sensitive terms. I recently contacted him about an issue which had recurred and once again, he was wonderful.
At me recent visit to Dr Asante's clinic, I was treated with respect, i was listened to, advised accordingly and thoroughly and every aspect of my visit was dealt with very professionally. I will recommend highly!
Dr Asante was reassuring, professional and empathetic in all my dealings with him. He explained the tests required and rationale clearly, talked through the results in detail and gave clear guidance and answered all of my questions. I felt in very good hands at all times.
Saw Mr Asante, he went though my symptoms listening very carefully, explained as to why I need further examination and what it entails.
Brilliant I was reassured at all consultations and felt at ease through the procedure.
There aren't enough superlatives to describe the care provided by Dr Asante. It is also always a pleasure dealing with Kathy whose manner is professional and warm.
Dr Asante is a knowledgable, professional, empathetic consultant. He always asks the right questions and actively listens to the patient, capturing everything. His explanations within his area of expertise are exemplary. I am always clear of the content of our discussions, and leave with confidence that I am in his safe hands. Thank you.
