She is available Monday through Friday and sees patients at Mesa View Medical Group.  Dr. Aschenaki recently moved her family to Mesquite from New Orleans. “I look forward to making Mesquite my home,’ said Dr. Aschenaki. “I believe in long term relationships with my patients and encouraging healthy lifestyles,” she continued.

Dr. Aschenaki received her Fellowship in Cardiology from the Tulane University School of   Medicine, Heart and Vascular Institute in New Orleans.

She received her MD, from Rush University Medical School in Chicago and completed her Internal Medicine Residency at the prestigious and nationally acclaimed Boston University Medical Center.

She is passionate about getting to know her patients and working with them one on one to help them manage their conditions. She treats each patient like she would a family member and believes that strong, ongoing relationships are critical to successful long-term positive outcomes.

She is no stranger to Southern Nevada, having gone to school in Las Vegas. With family in the area she loves the small town environment of the Mesquite community. When she is not seeing patients or spending time with her family, she enjoys reading, running, riding horses and travelling.
