Dr. Shweish has been very attentive and extremely helpful in helping me regain better health and in learning how to manage my asthma.
Everyone was very helpful and answered any questions I asked
I was very impressed with the treatment that I received in the doctor's office. The assistant who saw me before the doctor was very knowledgeable and helpful. And the doctor himself, I thought, was absolutely marvelous, listened very carefully to me, was well aware of my situation, explained things very well. I was very impressed with him.
Very professional staff and intake staff made me feel welcome .

I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Shweish today. It's the first time I met him and he was very informative and he listened to me and just made me feel comfortable. So I truly, highly recommend him. Thank you.

Thank You for fitting me in Today
Appointment was on time and was a first appointment for me with Doctor was really happy with how appointment went
Dr. Omar, as he prefers, was very thorough and great at communicating with the patient to elicit need.
The Dr listened to why I couldn't afford the med he ordered, He searched many and finally found one that I could afford.
This was my first visit to this doctor and this facility as my previous doctor retired. The doctor had a good detailed account of my pulmonary related history.
This provider is willing to work with me towards my specific goals. He listens understands and is willing to work with me rather than the my way or the highway approach. Every patient is different every occupation is different and we are working while compromising to get to where I as the patient need to be. This in itself is what makes a good healthcare professional. I will be 50 in 2 weeks finding people who listen understand and appreciate my healthcare plan are hard to come by.
