Dr Askins has been my doctor for many years. He's attentive. Non intimidating, and in my opinion the best doctor anyone could ask for! He never makes me feel like he's in a rush, never impersonal. Always just awesome!

Dr Askins is an excellent Dr, and very professional. He let's you know what he thinks about your health and let's you decide what you want rather than trying to push his opinion and his opinion only on you, THEN discusses it with you. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Askins is- a very practical, physician, who listens to his patients and works with their comfort level. Which is nice to see, when people are becoming so distrustful of the medical system as a whole. Mot everyone needs to be on an immovable- insurance generated formulary.

It feels like he is trying not to have conversations with patients. The tone of the appointment is rushed, with no suggestion or discussion of potential issues or solutions. If I didn't come into the appointment with desires for testing, it would have been a wasted appointment.
