Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Terrible service and bedside manner!

I don't recommend Dr. Awantang. I waited for over an hour after my appointment time - he came in the exam room didn't say hello, he didn't introduce himself and he didn't say sorry for the wait - He had a bad attitude and horrible beside manner.

BEING 65 AND BREAKING MY HUMURUS WAS QUITE SCARY FOR ME.
DR. AWANTANG AND THE STAFF WERE ALL SO SUPPORTIVE AND PUT ANY ISSUES AT REST, MY RECOVERY HAS BEEN GREAT, AND WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM. I ALSO SEE DR. CROSSMAN FOR MY KNEE AND AGAIN HE IS GREAT AND HIS STAFF. THE FRONT STAFF ALSO FOR BOTH DOCTORS MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME AND COMFORTABLE.

My family has used Dr. Awantang multiple times and have been 100% satisfied with our care every time. His PA and staff are amazing as well. We never wait long to get an appointment and the wait time in the office is very reasonable.

My wife experienced numbness, tingling, pain, and swelling in her wrist that continued to get worse as time progressed to the point where she dropped things regularly. Went here, the doc came in to see us and finished the visit in less than 10m. Didn't even sit down, just made a passing glance at it, said nothing was wrong and rudely to asked why we even came. Seemed annoyed that he had to get up from his desk in the other office to see a patient. Needless to say, had wrist surgery elsewhere

I have had 2 surgeries on different fingers and had excellent results. I recently had more extensive surgery on my hand and am recovering now. I feel the doctor and staff explained and took care of everything. If I needed surgery again I would return to this office.
