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.

Disrespectful
While he’s fine to see for pain meds his social skills lack. For the years I was seeing he deliberately mispronounced my last name. Made rude comments when walking in room about the smell. Accusing me of smoking marijuana so sends me for drug testing a lot which always comes back negative. He’s just a hateful man who thinks he can treat his patients like dirt.

I am 74 years old, and Doctor Moufawad is the best. I have been going to the doctor for approximately three years. He understands your problem, and does his best to help you. I have been to other pain management doctors in the past, wondering when I left, why I even went, and never went back. He is very busy, and you may have to wait after your appointment time to get in, but it is well worth it.

I TRUST Dr. Moufawad Completely. When I 1st went to visit him, he was able to do a test to find what Nerves were Pinched in my Back. Then he was able to get me started on a regular regimen for my back pain. After Dealing with Workman's Comp and their B.S. For a Couple Years, Dr. Moufawad worked with my regular Dr. and got me approved for Acupuncture. Dr. Moufawad is AWESOME when it comes to helping with the back. If you get the chance to have Dr. Moufawad take care of you, take Full Advantage of it, and if you need Acupuncture, you will Enjoy it Tremendously, at least I sure do. As it is just about the only thing that gives me any sort of longer term relief, as in 1 day to 3 days,more than a couple hours like regular tends unit, talk about relief.

I have been a pt. of Dr.Moufawad for several yrs. I can't honestly find one good reason to remain a pt. of his. He's Arrogant, shows no Compassion, has NO Pro Ethics & has aTotal Lack of Interest in you. He shows no Respect for what you have to say He lacks the important info about your medical history. He's chronically late 1hr.+ wait time and then treats you like you're on an assembly line. He's told me "I just want to get out of here" In summary he's a TOTAL DISGRACE to the Medical Profession

Dr.Moufawad has been my doctor for 12 years. He was always kind caring and asked me how I am doing and helps me if I am not doing well. Without his help managing my pain, I would have not been able to function for 10 years from afailed three level fusion. I had gotten a total spinal revision surgery and was all better for 2 years, I weened down on pain meds with Dr M’s help. Then, I moved to CO and was hit by a semi truck in a MVA. The Dr did not care and dr Moufawad helped me.

Dr. Moufawad is one of the Best doctors i have ever had. He is compassionate about the care he provides. He is open and honest, and listens too the specific needs of my pain. He is also firm, I feel he is here to help, and he has made my everyday school and work activities less challenging, the medicines work well for me. My pain used to be so bad, it took me two hours in the morning, after sleep, to be able to function of everyday choirs. My pain is now under control, and I enjoy life.

I think Dr. Moufawad is misunderstood by anyone that gives him a negative review. He has been taking care of me for years & has always gotten to the issue I may be having although he may come off as non caring he is quite the opposite. He truly is one of the most intelligent doctors I've ever been to... And I've been to many due to my health condition (if not the most intelligent) !!! Put yourself in his place & understand the position he is in... I would never change Drs. Talk he hears you!!!!!

The wait is almost expected with my appointments but when it's my turn he focuses on me and only me. He is always behind because he does not rush you once you are with him. He answers all questions and always let's me know what the next step is. When you call to make an appointment is where I have my issues. I have been ignored, hung up on and been spoken to very rudely.
