"My first impression of Dr. Jawad was that he was a very soft spoken but very knowledgeable doctor. He knew his subject inside and out. Dr. Jawad has an air of quiet confidence, but is not particularly warm and friendly. After the surgery, however, the warmth of his personality came out. He spent a good deal of time at my bedside answering questions that my husband and I had, and stopped by to visit me 2 more times before I was discharged. He is a very skilled surgeon, and in much demand, so he really doesn't waste time with small talk. He is honest about the risks but confident in his ability. He did stress that the surgery is not a "magic bullet" but a tool that must be used along with diet and exercise for lasting results. His nurse, Sylvia, is just amazing. She is warm, caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable, a perfect compliment to Dr. Jawad. I'm less impressed with some of his staff; I live 6 hours away, and the office staff never fails to lose my lab results...every time! I've watched the folks on my end fax the lab results, but they never get where they are supposed to in time for my appointments. Oh well, nobody's perfect.
In all, I give Dr. Jawad the highest marks available. I'm thrilled with my experience, and have, in fact, recommended him to many others."
