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.

Great Dr. Great staff

Traveled here for Dr. Awais only. He listened to my concerns, reviewed all of my scans prior to me coming in to my first appointment. Mastered my surgery and here I am almost 2 years later. I would have been long gone from this earth.

I suffered with swallowing issues for years. Dr. Omar Awais had me undergo a Barium swallowing study, then performed an EGD procedure a week later. Dr. Awais took such a careful and comprehensive approach that I was confident I was in excellent hands. Now almost one month later, my swallowing feels completely normal and I could not be more pleased. I could not recommend Dr. Awais more highly!

Wow is UPMC lucky to have Dr Awais. I am a physician myself but needed to see a CT Surgeon. Not feeling comfortable with the CT Surgeons I know, I sought out the best in the county. He came highly recommended to me from multiple credible sources. I traveled to see him. Completely impressed. He mastered my procedure. The tumor that was attached to my heart is gone because of him! Would love to shake his hand again!
