Julie V., Redmond, WA
I had a brain tumor that wasn't cancerous but gave me horrible headaches. I had 5 brain surgeries but they didn't help. Dr. Cassius was the first doctor to really find out what was causing my pain and give me a plan to treat it. He has a different approach to pain. He looks at the body as a whole and helps you move toward a pain-free life. He truly cares about his patients and makes sure he is there to help them as much as possible. I am now completely off narcotics and finally realizing I might be able to go back to work. Because of Dr. Cassius I have great reduced the number of prescriptions I take.
Amelia L., Austin, TX
I saw Dr. Cassius for generalized pain and a frozen shoulder. Although I did not consult him for depression, I was depressed at the time. He really listened and ASKED me questions, ordered lots of blood work and figured out I had extreemely low levels of vitamin D and a thyroid deficiency. This tuaght me that I MUST have sunshine to be healthy in my body and my head. I am thankful to Dr. Cassius for alerting me to the wide range of possible causes for pain and depression and did not send me straight to anti-depressants. I am following his counsel.
Florence G., Issaquah, WA
Dr. Cassius is a truly great doctor who really takes the time to get to know his patients and is very thoughtful about treatment. Even after we moved away, my husband makes the effort to fly to Seattle to see rather than find someone local. If you are told that you need surgery or to stick to pain meds for the rest of your life, see him for a second opinion. He will be honest with you and let you know if there are alternative treatments.
Matthew T., Seattle, WA
GREAT GUY!! Very compassionate and knows what he is talking about. I was at a terrible place in my life and David got me on the road to recovery, but changed my life forever.
Joe L., Seattle, WA
Dr. Cassius is an amazing doctor, care provider and person. Besides providing me complete long-term relief from chronic pain, Dr. Cassius is the proverbial last of a dying breed of caregiver that goes way beyond the corporate model of healthcare. He takes a lot of time to understand who you are, what is going on in your life and how that relates to your current health.
Anne D., San Francisco, CA
I can't say enough positive about this physician. A few years ago, after seeing every kind of specialist for pain, I ended up in his office. I had resigned myself to living in great pain and thought I would be on opioids for life. He has been able to help off those and has made a positive impact on my life.
