I'm a very satisfied patient of Dr Jawetz. He's been doctor for 12 years, so I decided to tell you how I feel about him. A great doctor and person. Excellent diagnostician. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Jawetz is a great person and a fine doctor! He has a great "bed side manner" (he spends time with you to answer your questions and takes a real interest in your health) and is very accommodative -- values and respects your time and tries to treat you efficiently when ever possible. Great primary care physician and highly recommend him to anyone.

Before I became Dr Jawetz' patient, my every breath was a struggle. After being under his care for 6 months, I can take a full breath.

Thanks to Dr. Jawetz, I can breathe again. I recently decided to change from my old pulmonologist to Dr. Jawetz. I'm very happy that I did. A different course of treatments and what a difference.
