Report
I came to see Dr. Ascher on a recommendation from a trusted therapist after my psychiatrist of 5 years moved out of state. He's very easy to talk to and has excellent weekend and evening hours, which is so helpful. Dr. Ascher re-evaluated my medications, making a few changes that have made a huge difference in how I've been feeling. He's always accessible by phone or text if I have any questions about OTC medication prescriptions, refills, etc. I would highly, highly recommend him!
