I felt rushed by Dr Nawab & was put off that he didn’t take 2 seconds to introduce himself when he walked in the room. He answered my questions but almost seemed annoyed by me.

Dr. Nawab is an excellent doctor & surgeon. He takes the time during visits to make sure all of your questions and concerns are answered.

Great visit! He is knowledgeable, friendly, a good listener and had multiple options for my knee arthritis. I left the appointment much more upbeat that when I went in!

Dr. Nawab's professional guidance and honesty cannot and should not be overlooked. What more possibly could a patient/athlete ask for than excellent results?

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience at this medical establishment. From the moment I arrived, it became clear that patient experience was not a priority. When I voiced concerns or asked questions regarding my care, they were quickly dismissed, leaving me feeling unheard and disregarded.Unfortunately, the behavior exhibited by the doctor was far from professional. It was evident that they struggled to engage in a respectful and thoughtful dialogue, especially when interacting with individuals who are informed and advocate for their own healthcare. This lack of professionalism and inability to handle a straightforward conversation about patient needs is concerning, to say the least.I strongly believe that every patient deserves to be treated with respect, and their concerns should be addressed with care and attention. Unfortunately, this was not the case during my visit, and I will not be returning. I hope this review encourages the establishment to reevaluate.

Always friendly, explains issues in great detail, ensures that the patient has full understanding, and is very engaging.
Highly recommended.
