Dr. John Awad, MD

'When I visited Dr. Awad for my lower back pain, he attentively listened to my worries, carefully evaluated my MRI, and recommended surgery. I cannot express my gratitude enough. After the surgery, I woke up with no pain and was overjoyed. I can now resume my daily activities and am extremely thankful to Dr. Awad for restoring my quality of life.'

Think when you’re dealing with spinal/neurological surgeries, experience is key. Dr. Awad shows great skill and has a robust and long resume when it comes to spine surgeries. I see some reviews that are lower due to “long wait time” and “no one got back to me” and while that may be annoying, I think once your under the knife those types of admin issues seem to fade in comparison to the skill and patience he shows in the operating room. I had 3 surgeries with him and his co surgeons and it has been the best.

Appointment wait times from 45 minutes to over 1 hour completely unacceptable, and is the standard. Dr. Awad should not be taking new patients; or, his staff should change their approach to how patients are scheduled. Post-op patients should never be seen on the same day as new patient consultations. No respect for the patients time. Witnessed 2 patients of his walk out of the wait room completely frustrated with wait time stating they'd never return. Look for another specialist.
