The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. Thank you very much. I'm glad I finally got to get an appointment with him.
[Name] the medical assistant was warm,welcoming, and competent. A wonderful complement to the kind, understanding, and professional Dr. Awad and staff.
Very attentive and listens closely. Always leave feeling as though my concerns have been heard and addressed.
It is always a pleasure to see Dr Awad
Everyone checking me in and screening me were efficient and courteous. Dr. Awad was calm in his demeanor and informative in his delivery. Found him to be a good listener and a gentleman in his behavior with his associates as well as myself.
Everyone is very nice!
Everything was done extremely well.
You folks do what you do very well! You are always concerned about your patients, their current condition, and their health challenges. I am always treated with respect, the Dr.'s and staff treat me with courtesy and kindness and I feel like I am treated like family when I have to go into the office.Thank you for all you folks do!
Very professional and knows what they're doing and asked me questions to the point if I understood everything and anything I want to ask correct
My new doctor, which I hadn't met before, seemed very knowledgeable and cared a great deal. And I was sick during COVID and had a really bad cough that scared me. And he explained everything that was going on in my lungs. And one thing he said was, I'm allergic to albuterol and was surprised that my primary care did not have it listed on my profile as it needed to be listed. Thank you.
The staff is AMAZING! The ladies made me feel welcome and comfortable as it was my first time there. The provider made me feel rushed and wouldn't let me speak or ask questions without interrupting me. He made me feel dumb and not important. If I didn't have to go back, I wouldn't. After the next appointment, I will be looking for another provider.
It is only my first visit. The doctor explained to me what the plan and follow up would be. The person that set up my future testing appointments bent over backwards to help me find dates and times that would work for me. When I went to the pharmacy the cost was too expensive. I wish we had discussed that but I am not sure he could have known the cost.
Did not feel listened to to explain pt physical status.
I was given an appointment for clearance of my health for surgery! It was done as I asked!
Was the first time I seen this doctor, and gotme in for a breathing test the very next morning , He also seemed concerned about my health , thank you .....
Everything went great.
He explained everything where I could understand. and answered all of my questions, making me very comfortable.
Kind, caring, focused staff.
This was our first visit with Dr. Awad. Before he even came in to see us, he researched our history (I guess from the computer's MyChart) and seem to know everything about my husband's health, what our concerns were etc. He prescribed a prescription my husband needed, in addition to increasing the dosage of his Trelogy which he needed.We were Extremely pleased with Dr. Awad and look forward to retaining him as my husband's Pulmonary Specialist for his COPD and other pulmonary issues he may have. Thank you Dr. Awad.u00A0
