Testimonials
"Dr. Stassen has been my doctor for about 20 years plus. He has a great bedside manner. He is caring, kind, and takes time to answer your questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Stassen without pause." - Dorothy (Google review)
"Dr Stassen is very thorough when answering questions and does not make you feel rushed. I had a colonoscopy three years ago when Dr Stassen was referred to me by my trusted Onocologist of 7 years. When it was time recently to schedule a colonoscopy again I was so relieved that Dr Stassen was available. I recommend him for anyone who is anxious or hesitant to have this important procedure. He makes the whole experience easy from start to finish. The hospital staff holds Dr Stassen in high regard and it is clear why." - Joyce (Google review)
