Listened carefully and asked thoughtful questions before prescribing a regiment. Recommended a timely follow up. App was a little confusing but otherwise very efficient.

Dr. Nawar is a genuine person that truly cares. I had been going somewhere else for 13 years and had forgotten how a patient is supposed to be treated. Dr. Nawar has renewed my hope that doctors are doctors because they want to help you.
She’s great

I had a tele-visit, so some of the above questions did not apply to me. My visit went well and I felt very comfortable and encouraged with my treatment plan.

I saw Dr Sotus-Nawar by telehealth. I was nervous about speaking to her that way but it was very naturally flowing and went great. She was straight to the point about why I was "there" and what my concerns were. We came up with a game plan and I look forward to my next appointment.
