Thorough, understandable, appropriate for my specific need, competently conducted.
*Dr. Awdish addressed all my concerns & answered all my questions. She responds quickly to My Chart messages. She treats me as a whole person - Not just a pulmonary patient.
*Dr. Awdish is an amazing doctor!
It took me a year to finally see *Dr. Awdish by the time I went through all the hoops you require. Very sad system!
Great!
