- Dr Awad was very thorough and made me feel so validated when explaining investigations needed and my newly diagnosed FND. He was patient when providing me with information and he made me feel very comfortable in his care. I highly recommend him and his extensive experience of movement disorders.
- The Phoenix Hospital is, for a hospital, a great place to visit for an appointment. Always a warm welcome and assistance ordering a taxi for my return journey home. Helpful and friendly staff and Dr Awad is very reassuring.
- Dr Awad showed kindness, compassion and attention to detail. It was the first time I have felt listened to, which is so important.
- This was an e consultation and I felt he understood the issues I had. Gave me good advice and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to him for any further help . Good to find someone that had a good idea of what I was experiencing. .
- Dr Awad was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and patient. It was refreshing to have a friendly, relaxed conversation. After a long journey and some frustrations with symptoms not being taken seriously in the past, Dr Awad took the time to listen, answer all the questions and explained in terms we could understand! We wish we had found Dr Awad sooner and cannot recommend highly enough! The relief of finally feeling understood and listened too is worth it weight in gold!
- After waiting anxious months for an NHS consultation it was very reassuring to be seen quickly by Dr Awad who explained everything thoroughly and reassuringly. Highly recommended.
- First class experience all round
