Jason Asistores, MD

I'd like to think of myself as someone in the neighborhood who just happens to be a doctor, rather than a doctor who just happens to be in the neighborhood. By this I mean that I've always seen myself as just another member of the community, along with everybody else, trying their best to live responsibly, peacefully, creatively, and by doing my job, help others to do the same.

Incidentally, God had blessed me with a vocation in medicine, and I believe that the best way I can do this job is to partner with patients in an authentic relationship, to help them figure out how they can live the healthiest version of themselves today, based on the most current medical evidence that's out there, amidst all the ups and downs going on in their lives.

That doesn't necessarily mean curing all their pain and illness, or working any miracles. Sure, some days prescribing a pill or stitching up a wound does the trick, but most of the time, it means finding out together what small change can be done right now in order to move one step closer to better health. It means celebrating small wins, and sitting down together to regroup when we fall off the wagon.
