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.

Twenty five years ago, Dr. Awadalla discovered the etiology of my seizures and developed a medication plan to help me maintain a seizure free life. I am eternally grateful! Miss you!! Be happy!!

The BEST neurologist!
Dr. Awadalla was the ONLY neurologist that helped me with severe migraines out of four, (Atlanta 2), and St. Louis 2). I wrote her a three page letter about how grateful I was to have finally met a doctor who went the extra mile, (miles!), to make my debilitating migraines a thing of the past. Forever grateful!

My wife would have been better off seeing no one than seeing Dr. Awadalla. She did identify that she has issues--but ended up having no advice. She's left my wife in tears several times out of frustration.

I just moved to the area and was hoping to have my care transferred to any doctor at Washington University. After being put off for over two months, I was denied by Dr. Awadalla. Apparently, she felt she had nothing to offer. When I requested that another doctor take over my care, I was told that if one doctor denies you then that is not a consideration. I am shocked that any reputable health care provider would have this policy. I now have no neurologist thanks to this uncaring approach.

I've been seeing Dr. Awadalla for more than 20 years. She is the first and only doctor who has been able to get my migraines under control. She is caring and takes time to talk to me. I never feel rushed and I have 100% trust in her. She gives it to me straight and doesn't sugar coat anything. She speaks to me like an equal, not down to me like some doctors do.

I was unable to see Dr. Awadalla because they denied care to me. I have had headaches and migraines for over 10 years. Recently, they have increased in severity and frequency to the point where I've been getting headaches over half the days of the month and migraines almost weekly. My prescription medicine for migraines has stopped working, yet this doctor's office stated they didn't have anything to offer me without even giving me an initial appointment after being referred.

I've had several neurologist over the years, but when I found her I quickly found out that she was the best. Punctual, great bed side manner, listens to your questions, responds to your phone calls quickly and always takes time with you. Plus her staff, especially Dana, is wonderful too.
