I would give this woman 0 stars if I could. She was very dismissive of me and made snide comments regarding my age, my birth control choices, and my supposed naïveté about the sexual history of my husband (who I have been with for nearly 12 years). I have never had such an unprofessional experience in my life. I was already thinking about changing practices and she certainly made that decision easier for me.

I had a very poor experience. I explained some really bad symptoms I was having and she basically said they were not her problem. She did not have good answers to the questions I was asking and I felt very brushed off, she acted like she did not care to answer them. She left the room before I was done with my questions. I was still asking questions as she was walking out the door! Very rude.

I would not recommend. Very dismissive in hearing my concerns. Not only that, but his general knowledge of even simple matters such as blood type is lacking. Insisted that I was not O RH- blood type and that it is not possible to be O RH- with two O RH+ blood type parents. It is in fact possible (albeit rare) if both parents have the RH- gene but do not express it. Blood type was then confirmed by nurse to be O RH-. I would stay away if he can not even handle something as simple as blood type.

Doesn't interact with patient fully. I had bad experience, went for a simple checkup and she performed a biopsy before I could think as to what is happening and why am I being treated for it. No correct knowledge providing on why a procedure is conducted and how to take care of it later. Had pus in a few days and had to take antibiotics prescribed by the nurse.

If Dr Askinas is your Doctor, get a second and third opinion. He wanted to remove one of my ovaries because I had a large cyst, he didn’t BELIEVE me that I had one and had to leave the room to ask another physician why they told me to book a surgical consult with him, and I was a healthy 28 year old female looking to conceive. Also had him when I had a miscarriage and didn’t treat it with sympathy. If he is the only available doctor, you should wait it out and get another doctor.

How do I leave 0 stars? Unfortunately we did not come to this site when picking a OB which was a HUGEEEEE mistake. My wife has been to this guy twice, he once told her that he would put her on a medicine when pregnant for a condition that caused us 2 previous miscarriages. Once pregnant the whole office said there was no medication for that, so that was a lie. Also he rushes in and out of the room like the flash and when my wife would ask a question he pawned off a pamphlet instead of answering the questions. We are now preg... read more

Today 5/29/20 I called as a new Patient. The lady who answered the phone was so mean, rude and disrespectful, that not calling them back!

Was extremely rude for the few appointments I had with him while pregnant. Saw me for less than two minutes for the confirmation appointment. When I miscarried and he had to assist in removing the physical matter from my cervix as I was having a difficult time passing it naturally, I was in a lot of discomfort and pain, to which he responded, "This shouldn't hurt." I found that really offensive because I was in a lot of pain, and I have a hard time believing that he has had a miscarriage before and knows how it feels. At the... read more

Would not recommend this doctor. She put me through the worst pain I have ever experienced then had the nerve to say "don't be a baby."
