About Sami Assad MD
Dr. Sami Assad earned his Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Psychology from the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island. He then went on to obtain his Doctor of Allopathic Medicine from St. George’s University School of Medicine in St. Georges, Grenada in the West Indies. He completed his Family Medicine residency at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama.
His personal philosophy of care is that a little kindness goes a long way. He also tries to personify what he preaches and approaches health from an all-encompassing perspective where diet, exercise, sleep, stress, and mental care all contribute to a well-rounded picture of health. He himself is passionate about exercise and routinely participates in HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training), CrossFit, and weight training classes. His passion for exercise has also inspired his planning to hike all 40 peaks over 4,000 feet in New Hampshire.
His inspiration to become a doctor came from a personal loss at a very young age. He wanted to be in the know of what was happening and why things were occurring. Those experiences and the want to make sure no one felt in the dark about their healthcare propelled him into medicine. To him being a part of Southcoast Health means having the opportunity to provide care for the community he calls home.
When not at work he loves to take part in his exercise routines and dabbling and experimenting in the culinary arts.
Sami Assad MD speaks Arabic, Russian.

I just love the staff very caring people. The nurse was awesome and Dr ASSAD is the best doctor I have ever had.
I always feel heard and taken seriously. I'm a new patient at this office and to be able to see the same provider at each appointment has been awesome. I appreciate the care here.
The dr. Wrote to me in My Chart to keep me informed about my tests. If I wrote to him, he responded in a timely manner.
Listen attentively and take my concerns seriously.
This was my initial visit to this doctor, Very impressed with h he facility, staff and doctor. He was very complete in his questioning of my health and providers
The only bad thing of the appointment was that I guess the front desk didn't send it through to the staff that I had checked in for my appt so I waited 45min to be seen because the medical staff didn't know I was there. Once I got in the appointment was fine and Dr. Assad and his nurse were great.
Overall great appointment! Dr. Assad is very thorough!
He listens. He provides sufficient information. I am confident in his interest level and his ability. And he is nice.
As a new patient to Dr. Assad, I felt that my experience there was outstanding from the office staff to the nurse upon check-in and also with Dr. Assad. I felt he addressed any concerns I had, and I felt the exam was very thorough. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with my first visit. Thank you.

Dr. Assad is a true asset to South Coast. South Coast should be thankful, especially in this medical/business environment that Dr. Assad is a member of their staff.
Friendly knowledgeable staff
Very impressed with the Dr. and the Staff.
It was a great experience. Support staff were helpful and friendly. Dr. Assad was very professional but also down to earth. He was easy to talk to and I felt like he cared. They offered vaccines but didn't make me feel like I was wrong for declining. I love that they encourage sick appointments with them and don't just send you to urgent care. It really feels like an old school family doctor. I highly recommend this office.

This was my first appointment so I don't have a lot of experience to refer to, but I was very impressed. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I was seen by the doctor almost immediately. I am 60 years old and have a lot of medical history. Dr Assad was very familiar with my file, I was so impressed! He had to have spent some serious time reading it! This made it so much easier for me. Great first appointment!
I was well taken care of by all staff and doctor in an appropriate time. Excellent professionalism. Thank you
The entire staff and Dr. Assad are all very professional and supportive.
I am so sad that I didn't find Dr Assad and his staff until this past year. He is very thorough and I like his approach to practical medicine. I have never felt like a number, or a generic case. He always takes the time to make sure to explain things, provide alternatives, and checks in on my mental health. Amazing provider!
Dr. Assad and his staff made me feel safe, secure and cared for. I love the fact they are genuinely caring and make you feel part of a family.
