Dennis Dasher, MD

Update: I had shown the doctor prior to my blood work being done, the results from another doctor’s blood tests so I wouldn’t have duplicate testing.
Guess what? I got charged for all sorts of blood work that I wasn’t advised of. I only found out when I asked the lab that was charging me for the itemized bill. I also had duplicate tests when I had clearly emailed the office my results and shown my previous lab results in person to the doctor as well.
That is so incredibly unprofessional.
I also asked for my lab results back but they have yet to send it and my request was made well over a month ago.

I came here hoping to find a doctor who could help me figure out why I was feeling so damn sick for the past couple of weeks.
While I did appreciate the amount of time that he put into my appointment and how he seemed to actually listen, he never got back to me about my blood test results.
I was told they would call within a couple days. I NEVER received a call back and it’s been over a week. And let me tell you, I’ve called multiple times letting them know they never called me and they kept blaming a test result that wasn’t back yet but shouldn’t you at least inform the patient so they don’t anxiously wait for a call?!
I was still willing to put up with it but today was the last straw. Why? Because the receptionist told me when I stated it was my fifth time calling that «we can’t force him to call when he’s busy with other patients and other requests…»
I would understand if the test results weren’t back yet but I know the last blood test result was faxed over at 11 o’clock TODAY. When I called in the morning they even told me they would call back at 11 and its 3:33PM.
I’m also not the type of person to call. They’re the ones who said «if you don’t hear by _​_​_​please give us a call».
DON’T TELL YOUR PATIENTS TO CALL IF YOU’RE JUST GOING TO GIVE THE SAME STATEMENT.
I just want an accurate estimate for when a doctor will get back to me.
PLUS, shouldn’t a patient have the right to know about her test results? I just want to know why I feel so damn sick. I just want to know what’s wrong and how I can fix it.
Tldr; DON’T COME HERE. HE MAY BE NICE BUT YOU’LL NEVER HEAR BACK FROM HIM OR THE OFFICE. I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WRONG.

Has always went above and beyond. Went to him for second opinion because I wasnt feeling confident with my doctors approach at the time. He showed how knowledgeable he was amd helped me resolve the issue I was having with dignity. If I was with my previous doctor we would still be trying to figure out the problem.

Dr Dasher was nice and everything I expect from a general doctor but I am never coming back to this office that’s for sure. I went there just to get a checkup, bloodtest, and a form signed from the doctor for my company’s health plan as we needed a basic biometric screening. The office is old and dingy and overall felt a bit dirty. I felt like I stepped in the 1980s, it’s really unbelievable.
The wait wasn’t terrible but the staff is just not on top of their game. After my appointment I had to wait for my bloodtest results to get in so the doctor could sign the form and fill out the rest of the data that was needed. They said it would be in Monday and they’d call me when all of that was ready. I called on Thursday because no one bothered to look into it or call me back to update me on the test results. I asked if the Doctor had signed it but he wasn’t available and they would get him to sign it shortly. I called the next day and the doctor still hadn’t signed it and wasn’t available. They’d catch me up on next Monday. Next week around Tuesday or Wednesday I called again and he finally signed it and said they could get me a copy but apparently couldn’t email it to me like the first girl said she would because something was still wrong with their scanner 2 weeks later (Even though she said it was supposed to be fixed the FIRST Monday). So they fax it in to the number on the form but I still need a copy not for records but to use the data for another form I needed to fill out. She said she would mail it on Monday. So now we’re on the 3^rd Monday and I still haven’t received a copy in the mail. I call again, TODAY, and she said she sent it out. When? I don’t know but it sure as hell wasn’t Monday because it doesn’t take 5 days to sent a piece of paper in the same county. I asked her to fax it to a burner fax to email immediately and finally got that within the half hour.
What a freakin’ headache for a piece of paper.

Be prepared to wait forever. Even if you are the very first appointment of the morning. Three occasions in a row, appointments taking over an hour and a half, with less than 10 minutes with the doctor each. Not a good choice if you have a job, life, things to do, or if you value your time.

I agree with some of the other opinions here — Dr. Dasher himself is fine, a little cold perhaps but is competent and thorough. The big problem is the support staff.
I called for a repeat prescription and was told it would be called in to the pharmacy. Went to pick it up a week later and nothing. Called Dr. Dasher’s office back on a Friday afternoon and they said they’d call the prescription in right away (no apology, however). I also had the pharmacy try to contact the office. Three hours later I went back to the pharmacy, and nothing. So I was left scrambling to find another doctor to write me a prescription over the weekend. Needless to say, I never received a call back from Dr. Dasher’s office explaining what happened and why, despite me leaving an angry message with the after-​hours message service.
I am no longer with Dr. Dasher because he no longer takes my insurance, but even if he did I think my experience with his utterly unreliable support staff would have led me to look for another doctor.

I am used to doctors rushing and then I get out of there and forget to ask questions, give info, etc. Dr. Dasher is very thorough and takes his time and it is a very good experience. A rarity these days. I feel lucky to have found a good doctor that takes my insurance.

I have been a patient of Dr Dasher for over 20 years for a large variety of different maladies– and have never experienced anything less than a caring competent Doctor with a great sense of humor and an excellent bedside manner.
I don’t mind the wait– as I know that Dr Dasher is being as thorough and careful with the care he dispenses to his other patients as he is to me– and Ron Carol and the rest of the staff have taken a genuine interest in my well being and happiness as a human being.
If you are looking for a puppy mill mentality where the only thing that matters is seeing as many patients as quickly as possible– this is NOT the place for you. But if you are after a doctor that takes the extra time needed to make sure he is doing the best possible job– and is an enjoyable person to interact with when he is doing it. Dr Dasher is the MAN…
plus– he gets extra bonus points for having dated Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth in his college days!!! GO DENNIS GO DENNIS!

He seemed great when I was in the office but his office’s way of handling everything after you walk out the door is horrible. His nurse told me, twice on separate occasions after receiving my blood results that she «didn’t know what it meant,» followed by «it could mean you have ___(insert disease here)___, but I don’t know.» The first time it took me a day for him to call me back. The next time, it took three. days. and four phone calls to them for me to get a call back from him. After this lady told me that I may have three different conditions/​diseases. She shouldn’t be speaking to patients if she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
Honestly, do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs.

I’ve been going to Dr. Dasher for nearly ten years. I appreciate his dedication to patients of any and all socio-​economic levels. He diagnosed a appendicitis, and referred me to a great surgeon on my first visit, and has helped with many smaller ailments over the years. Great guy, and nice staff.

Dr. Dasher is one of the best MDs. He knows his stuff and actually cares about going the extra mile for his patients. My boyfriend had a rare condition and Dr. Dasher referred us to a specialist. He’s helped me heal from many sinus infections and he listens carefully to the entirety of a perceived or perpetual issue. I owe him my health and peace of mind. His staff is very kind and helpful as well.

In reference to her aforementioned review of Dr. Dasher, B. Kelly has hereby added the word, «alledgedly» to said review.

Great because he’ll (or someone in the office) will see you same day if you are ill, but don’t expect any warmth. It is what it is.
