Patient Reviews
Oct 01, 2022
Dr. Nawas is an excellent doctor and surgeon. He genuinely cares about his patients and shows it. I had two surgeries to remove a serious infection behind my lung and I am grateful that it was Dr. Nawas who performed them. His bedside manner and follow-ups put my wife and me at ease and made us confidant of my recovery. Thank you Dr. Nawas!
