Dr. Cecil E. Bassett, MD 6401 University Avenue Northeast, Minneapolis, MN 55432

"I've been a patient of Dr. Bassett's for 7 years now. He's such an amazing Dr. He's very knowledgeable, always explained things to me, made me feel totally comfortable, never rushed or quick to dismiss like some Dr's do. He's also a wonderful, skilled surgeon. I just had a hysterectomy in October, performed by Dr. Bassett and I couldn't be happier. He even called to check on me afterwards and make sure everything was going well. I'm truly grateful for his care and expertise and will gladly continue to be his patient. Thank You Dr. Bassett!!!"

"Dr. Bassett is great. After having a horrible experience with my first daughter's Doctor pushing me to have every test imaginable he was a breath of fresh air and listed to everything that I really wanted. Being geriatric pregnancy was tough both times but he made the second one smooth sailing and my little girl is now 6 years old."

"He’s worse! This man took advantage of the fact that I am a immigrant and don’t know much of how the process of prenatal visits are done , being that it’s my first pregnancy. Throughout my prenatal visits with him, he only checked my baby’s heartbeat. He never did the urine test to throughout my visits to track any disease or whatsoever that can be a harm to my child."

"This rating is coming 16 years to the day after I had my son and Dr. Bassett was my OB doc. Let me preface this with I was young dumb when I got pregnant. I was 22 and a single mom and didn't really know better with a lot of things. However, Dr. Bassett never really made me feel at ease. Fast forward to the delivery and just a few comments he made to me. -(while breaking my water and laughing with a nurse) I said ow, because it hurt and he wasn't paying attention. He looked at ne and condisendinly asked me "oh, did that hurt." - After induction, water breaking, and 8 hours of labor, my cervix wasn't moving in the right direction. That is when Dr. Bassett asked me if I wanted to "go home and try again the next day"... what? - fast forward to 4 hours later, post epidural. My epidural went the wrong way and numbed me from mid back up. My blood pressure dropped to 74/43 and nobody working was around to help. My sister (a paramedic) literally had to go grab someone and ask if they were going to fix it. After the epidural was removed and I could move my upper body effectively and my blood pressure was under control, again Dr. Bassett again asked me if I wanted to go home and try again in the morning or have a c-section... I felt this was a dumb question with an easy answer. I obviously had a c-section. -The next day when I saw him he left saying "see you with your next one." -Then when I showed him about weight loss after having a baby he immediately mentioned plastic surgery. Maybe it was just me or was just me but I now am a paramedic and have never treated any of my patients that way."

"Dr. Bassett is wonderful. He takes time with you, listens, is very personable, and has a great sense of humor!"
