Excellent experience. The only glitch was my lack of awareness about the effect of having my eyes dilated. I hadn't experienced that in a long time and wasn't aware of the time it would take to wear off.

My experience going to Dr. Award’s office for the first time was certainly a positive one. The staff is very friendly and organized, the office is nice and clean, the doctor takes time doing the necessary eye exams and then he gives you a thorough explanation and recommendations without feeling rushed. I’m very pleased to have chosen this office for my eye care.

Verified patient
DR. Awad and Staff were very effecient and attentive.
Verified patient
The doctor and staff were very professional in their assessment and treatment. The tone of the office asserted professionalism, but lacked sympathetic care. I was alarmed and disappointed at the lack of concern at after having my eyes dilated for an examination, to then be released without any protection against glare, a condition they must have been aware would happen. I drove 10 miles from my home to ensure I kept the appointment and was left stranded in my car until the dilation wore off sufficiently for me to drive myself home. I don't think I'll go back.
Verified patient
Highly recommend Dr. Awad and his staff

Verified patient
Great attention. I’m very satisfied.
Verified patient
Both doctors were great with my kids, but they tend to take forever. I think they see other patients while they wait for your eyes to dialate. Not sure, but kids have zero patience and started singing willing songs at the top of their lungs in the office today. My suggestion is to bring stuff to do for them :)
Verified patient
Absolutely love Dr Awad and all the staff. So friendly! But today’s wait was ridiculous. Was at least 4 hours there for just a check up. Please improve on this!
It was awe. He is very kind and down to earth.
Verified patient
Beside a little bit longer than expected wait, everything was great. All people working in the office are very professional and friendly.
Dr. Awad was extremely friendly and helpful, and explained everything in a very easy-to-understand way. He built trust with me almost immediately, and I had three people who referred me to him that recommended him highly.
