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.

Doctor Qahwash my family and I thank you for explaining everything in great details (Pros and Cons) prior to my major back operation. This was my first operation ever and you made me feel at ease. You was there by my bedside for your morning visits as well to answer all my questions, check on me and help ease the pain during recovery. This significantly meant a lot to me and my family. I appreciate your true professionalism. I am recovering well. Thank you!

We seen Dr Qahwash after seeing a doc in our area and feeling confused and unable to make an informed decision on such an important surgery. We were so happy we did. He was thorough and patient. He asked my husband many questions and actually listened to his answers. He explained in terms we could understand and answered all our questions. We walked out feeling much more confident in our ability to make a decision. I only wish he was in our network. I highly recommend him. HE IS AMAZING!

My experience with Dr. Qahwash has been nothing other than excellent. I could not have asked for a better neurosurgeon to care for me. He took the time to actually listen to me, answer all my questions, and genuinely seemed concerned and truly cared about me and my condition. He did my surgery to help with my Chiari Malformation and was there every day during my hospital stay to check in on me. My recovery has been amazing. I very impressed and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Qahwash treated me for an aneurism and I credit his knowledge and expertise in neurosurgery to my surviving and with very minor residual effects - a little double vision which is gradually improving. I was told by many professionals that he is the very best. I was quite anxious after my aneurism as I would have another as I had no symptoms beforehead. I met with him recently and felt so much better after talking to him - his knowledge, gentle manner and sweet smile was so reassuring.

Dr.Qahwash and his team are exceptional in their feild. I was diagnosed with a colloid cyst of the third ventricle, which was an 8mm cyst blocking my spinal fluid from draining out of my brain. Dr. Qahwash was able to use the endoscopy procedure, instead of performing a full craniotomy! Dr. Qahwash takes the time to explain and listen to your concerns to make sure you are well informed and comfortable with the procedure. I totally recommend Dr. Qahwash!
