Dr. Awad takes his time and explains everything slowly. He does not just come in and out. He is very thourough and spends a lot of time asking questions and answering questions. I heard that he diagnosed many cases that nobody could figure them out and he did the same with me. He is also very smart and very pleasant and down to earth. He calls with the results the same day and he calls himself. He is punctual and flexible. I am very please. I had an excellent experience.
