Hands down, 10 stars!!! Dr. Asselin is one of a kind. We weren't sure what to expect, besides being an hour visit and can not speak more highly of our experience. Dr. Asselin was patient, listened, provided explanations and made sure information provided was understood. He also seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.
