Kaiz S. Asif, MD - ASCENSION MEDICAL GROUP ILLINOIS - BRAIN AND SPINE JOLIET

Dr. Asif saved my life. That's not an exaggeration. I had a complicated cluster of aneurysms on my vertebral artery. I was told by other neurosurgeons at a university neuroscience institute that my stroke risk was very high, and they were unsuccessful in helping me. I was terrified. When I saw Dr. Asif, he gave me hope and explained how he would approach the aneurysms. Although my case was quite rare, it could be treated. He has a very easy way of explaining complex things, and he is a perfectionist in the best possible way! For my case to be successful, the device placement had to be precise. I was so lucky to find this doctor! I am further blessed that I had access to this level of care at St. Joseph Hospital which is near my home. The inpatient care was wonderful there. I know this doctor could practice anywhere he wants to go. It's so lucky for the local community that he chooses St. Joe's. It's rare to find such a highly skilled doctor who also knows how to speak to patients.

Dr Asif performed emergency surgery on me. My family was told that this should be done as soon as possible. The surgery was done, the clot was extracted. I am not experiencing any residual effects of a stroke that others have whose clots were not removed in an urgent manner. Dr Asif's skills were surely the reason I'm doing as well. My family, friends and I were certainly impressed with my results. His professionalism, and personal interest shone through. Presence Health would certainly benefit with more doctors like him on their team.
