Add A CondolenceI found out not long ago about his passing. My husband and I were both patients. He was an extraordinary Physician. I also have had the privilege to know both his son's. He will be missed. I know the boys will carry on his good name. Rest in peace.Scott and Sheri Payne
I am just finding out that Dr. Asres passed. I literally never took his name our of phone as my primary physician. He went to cornerstone several years ago, however I could never forget him and his joking ways. One visit I was being weighed on the office scales and my weight was unusually high. I screamed because this could not be possible. I was still wearing the same clothes. I heard him chuckle behind me and realized he had his foot on the scale too! I have told this story numerous of times. I loved how he took my health seriously and encouraged me taking my vitamins and minerals. You will truly be missed! Praying for his family!
