Girma B. Assefa, MD

"Upon reading another review it made me rethink how the first thing he asked me was how was my legs and tried to lift my pants up to see them and I moved them back because I didn't go in about my legs and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them besides them looking like Harry and the Hendersons. He was very nice upon meeting him but he asked me do I pray and I said, "not really sometimes" and his whole attitude changed and he was very short and dismissive. He was rushing me and I told him I'm also there about my arm and he asked why didn't I tell the nurse and I stated that I did, and he convinced himself that wasn't why I was there. I also wanted to get blood work done he ignored that and I didn't bring it up because I didn't want to deal with his attitude anymore. He told me he would send a prescription to the pharmacy for meds for my arm and the pharmacist said they never received it. In conclusion I wouldn't recommend and I feel he might be forgetful due to his age."

"Dr.Girma listened to me when I needed help. Listened to my symptoms over the years and helped treat my hypertension etc. For my medical issued he has been a "good" doctor. However, Dr. Girma has touched me on several occasions inappropriately. Its like he knows just how far he can go without doing to much and remaining the "good" doctor. He is no longer my doctor and I am glad. I've since moved. It was like being stuck with a doctor who cared, but because i was a nursing student he seem to listen to me more, letting me guide my care. At the same time I had to endure a thigh rub, back rub, soft stroking touches. It was gross and I felt paralyzed. But if you knew my story then you would understand why i let him continue as my doctor for so long, and why i could say anything until i was no longer connected to him. I hope this allows other patient to speak up regarding their doctors and even Dr. Girma. -Naomi"
