5 months agoToday was my first visit with Dr. Sam and I can say it was nothing short of amazing. Everyone from the front desk, the MA, and Dr. Sam were so nice and respectful. I feel so much better, because I was really skeptical from the horrible experience I had with a previous doctor. Iโm so glad I chose him for my pcp

6 months agoMy Houston Methodist family doctor retired and recommended Dr. Askandar. So glad he did because Dr. Askandar was great during my initial visit. For a lingering allergy issue I've been having, I scheduled a same day clinic visit at the Pearland location via the Houston Methodist website (btw, the site was very easy and intuitive to navigate via my phone). Upon seeing my name in system, Dr. Askandar reached out directly (that's right, he called me directly) and said if he could combine my SDC visit with another visit I would have with him for the following week. How's that for efficiency? Check in was breeze, and the staff couldn't be any friendlier. Dr. Askandar pre-read my history and asked probing questions that helped him look for potential underlying issues. He listened with empathy and never come across judging with his recommendations. And although we ended up not being able to combine my two visits with him during this one visit (due insurance rules), my time with Dr. Askandar was never rushed. Every one of my concerns were answered in a caring fashion. I highly recommend Dr. Askandar for your family medical needs.

a year agoDr Sam is an awesome physician. He actually listens, then asks questions and makes professional recommendations based on his experience and expertise, but ultimately you have the final say so. I sincerely feel as though he has the patient's best interest at heart. When sending a message to his office, he responds in a timely manner. Which is greatly appreciated. Not to mention the staff is extremely professional and courteous I highly recommend you to visit the office for yourself, I think you'll be extremely pleased. Sincerely: Mr Don't Like Doctors

a year agoIโve been looking for a PCP for a long time and am so glad I finally found Dr. Askandar (aka Dr. Sam). He has literally changed my life just by listening to my concerns and offering multiple solutions that have worked for me. Heโs energetic, positive, and available when needed.
