Currently the worst doctor I have ever visited in my life. Be prepared for this guy to completely ignore any concerns you have no matter how hard you emphasize their importance. You will have no say over anything in how he decides to treat you especially with regards to giving you something that your insurance will cover. It's almost like he goes out of his way to screw you over.

Went to the hospital with my husband recently for chest pain. Dr. Kahwaji took the best care of my husband and our family. He was kind with my husband while making sure he got to the cath lab quickly. I think Dr. Kahwaji saved my husbands life. My kids and I are forever grateful! I would recommend him 100%

I appreciate the time spent with my family. The ER was very busy and he took a good amount of time with us. He even recommended that we not get a cat scan because it would be too much radiation for our kid overall it was a good experience

Ordered a Cat Scan on me before even seeing me, just because my stomach hurt, assess your patients before radiating them.
