The office needs to be refreshed. Paint, chairs, floor mats. Girls (2) were fighting with each other at the front desk. Just seemed like an off day. Exam rooms are small.

Dr. Asware makes a connection with her patients. Many of my friends also use her as their GI Doctor. She's friendly, professional and actually listens without interrupting. I have all female doctors except for a specialist at Jefferson, because in my experience female providers are more attentive, listen carefully and partner to develop the plan of care! She is truly a GEM!

On time friendly and efficient staff Great friendly and knowledgeable doctors
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/24/2025
Several of my physicians are now affiliated with Virtua, or some other large medical system. In the past this has resulted in more difficulty reaching the doctors, scheduling routine appointments and generally depersonalized service. Just as importantly, the work loads for the physicians become an impediment to good care. Hopefully this will not be the case with this practice.
