Dr. Moawad and his staff are excellent in every way. They treat patients with the utmost care and professionalism. I visited him with a long term issue and needed a second opinion before proceeding with surgery. I felt very comfortable with his advise and his judgement. He really takes the time to listen and allows you to ask each and every question you have without feeling rushed. He performed my procedure smoothly and his entire team was outstanding. I feel truly fortunate to have him as one of my doctors.

Sure he sees a lot of patients with similar issues so just has his cookie cutter diagnosis, eat better and take a pill. You'll get better care picking a random dr out of the yellow pages.

I recommend Dr. Fouad Moawad to any one who is suffering from intestinal problems I visited Dr. Moawad after I was treated with four different doctors that they failed to diagnose my problem. He asked for some tests and took his time and ask a lot of questions to understand my real problem and he did figure it out!!! gave me the right medecine and changed my diet. I am very pleased and yes I do recommend Dr. Moawad to anyone who suffered from digestive problems. Thank you Doctor
