The only criticism is concerning the BP monitor. Initially it wouldn’t work and then gave me a Systolic figure I have never seen before. Not Dr Aweid’s fault!
Was seen early..No waiting which was a blessing as usually I have to wait
Dr Aweid was welcoming and allowed for me to inform him of the issue I had experienced without rushing the appointment. He explained advice in detail. Excellent doctor and I am grateful for his advice and assistance. Thank you
A very friendly and caring doctor- going over and beyond to do whatever he can to help! Many thanks for your continued care
It was a pleasure to have Dr Aweid perform the 6 month review of my wife following her stroke. He put us both at ease and provided an indepth review of my wife's current condition.
