Dr. AwuaLarbi is amazing. She takes time to explain everything and answers all my questions and concerns. When a protocol needed to be changed or adjusted she presents the reasons and alternatives. I feel she really cares about me and my health. I would highly recommend her. She is an asset to Silver Cross Hospital.

My mom recently remarried a nephrologist who asked if I was getting good care. My daughter, who is a Physician's Assistant in the ER and interacts with Dr. Awua-Larbi, answered for me, "He's in great hands." What better review can I leave than medical providers praising a medical provider to other medical providers?
