Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I received Mohs surgery in August 2022 from Dr (Bobby) Awadalla. I have, unfortunately, received many treatments and several surgeries for skin cancer. Dr. Awadalla is the best. Literally painless from start to finish. He is all business but friendly at the same time. Anyone who needs skin cancer surgery should absolutely contact Dr. Awadalla.

Though i have seen our main-man awadalla several times, it was my first time behind the elevators. i have seen personnel come and go through the office door and always imagined them going to an operating theater with a large mezzanine gallery full of expressions of undivided attention. our lovely assistant was reassuring on this, my first walk, but nevertheless, there was the unknown in my gait. turns out the exam-room was not unlike the ones off the waiting area. it was not, however, the first

I drive an hour and a half to see Dr. Awadalla because he is GREAT. Listens, doesn’t rush, spends appropriate time and always has solutions that work. Besides Dr. Awadalla’s professionalism the staff is excellent as well. Friendly and efficient.
