Dr. Alwattar took excellent care of me. I had two finger fractures that had initially been treated by another orthopedist. My insurance changed in the middle of treatment and he picked up and took excellent care of me. His entire staff was professional, caring and I had a very positive experience. I most especially appreciated that he treated me as an adult and incorporated my opinion and wishes into my treatment plan.
