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.

First class operation.

Dr. Awad is unparalleled in medical expertise, bedside manor, and excellence. He personally communicated with us throughout our journey, and his office responded with care. I would never consider any other surgeon for gastrointestinal.

Dr. Awad was very thorough.
He answered all our questions. His staff was outstanding. He made us feel as though we were genuinely cared about, and his knowledge and experience was evident in how he explained the surgery procedure. My husband is 70 days out. We are grateful for his down to earth approach, it relieved many of our fears . Thank You Dr. Awad . We pray to have many good years to come.
