How likely are you to recommend Dr. Awad?
Quick, fast & in a major hurry, I needed a new MS specialist. W/great trepidation & armed w/research, I chose Dr. Awad. W/in the 1st visit, he proved to be an apex selection! He is a divine listener, adapting distinctive & sagacious options; a most empathetic physician, acclimating innovative courses of action while integrating other health issues w/my MS symptoms & he lent me promethean patience, while considering my personal & professional way of life into my treatment plan. Couple all this w/invaluable support from Shankysha, my fmly & I are more than wowed by them & even more blessed to have found them. Major Kudos & Mega Appreciation! "Got Nothing But Love" For Them!!
