Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Nawaz is very personable and I feel very comfortable talking with him about my health concerns.

Getting nowhere with this dr.
I've seen dr. Nuwaz 4 times the past 6 months. At first he seemed caring and concerned, but now he seems frustrated and like I'm a waste of his time. He hasn't come up with diagnosis yet, despite all the tests done. I was referred to unmc and they said I had adhesions from previous surgeries and to keep seeing dr. Nuwaz. My pain is terrible and having severe bowel problems. My last visit was on june 7. 2022 and all that was done was a cmp blood test and he put me on an expensive antibiotic and medication that slows your intestines down. I suffer from partial bowel blockages and ileus constantly. I didnt get an explanation on the reasoning for the drugs he prescribed. He just said were not doing surgery and go to er if symptoms continue. I think he means well I just wish he would help me with my issues even if it has risks, I'm willing to take those risks.

Does not follow up on tests ordered
I always had to follow up after every single test ordered myself... ask if they got it and what to do next. But the worst of it was I was told they'd get back to me but never would. I even followed up on those promises and they never responded to me. I guess is Ok to take your money however. I would not recommend going to this office for anything.
