I have been a patient of Dr. Ascher’s since 2017 and can say with 100% certainty that he is the best doctor that I have ever had and I am confident he will continue to hold that title for the rest of my life. He is such a special person and special doctor and from the moment I took that step to reach out to him, I’ve truly never looked back. Dr. Ascher has had my back in every way possible over the years and has done everything in his power to resolve any issue that I’ve ever had within minutes, no matter the time of day or day of the week- and I think this is absolutely necessary in this field of medicine since the issues that can arise are usually time-sensitive and not restricted to occur during “normal” business hours or week days. I’m repeatedly so grateful for the sacrifice he makes to his own family and personal life in order to be so accessible and committed to his patients and feel so fortunate for the unconditional support and sincere commitment to my well being that he’s always demonstrated throughout every interaction over the past five years. With Dr. Ascher, there’s no judgement- I know I can go to him about anything without any hesitation and in return will always receive genuine mutual respect in the form of concierge-level personalized care. It’s impossible to truly articulate the positive impact he’s had on my life and the role he’s played in getting me where I am today, and I know all of his patients feel the same way. Thank you so much Dr. Ascher for being you.

Amazing doctor. So accessible, so smart, so creative, so caring and so outside the box. Has a huge network of resources and people to utilize to provide the most comprehensive care. I haven’t trusted a doctor this much in a long time. Old world care with new and forward thinking techniques. He is currently treating my son, who is skeptical of the medical field of psychiatry. He has earned his trust and respect. I am forever indebted.

For the first time in my life I don't feel like I'm just surviving, I feel like I'm living. Gross. Did I really just say that? I sound disgustingly cheesy. But... seriously, I have so much gratitude for Dr. Ascher. I've struggled for more than a decade before finding him. His guidance and resourcefulness has been the determining factor in building forward momentum for myself.
Your problem right now isn't finding the right doctor. Congratulations! You did it.
Your problem is not realizing you should be contacting Dr Ascher right now to set up an appointment.

He will forever be my most favorite doctor for multiple reasons. Namely, his resourcefulness is constant despite quarterly visits, his observation far surpasses that of other doctors in his field, and his empathy is ineffable. He gets his patients, so he provides the best care. I am grateful for his diligence, knowledge, and commitment to his work!
