“Dr. Firas Chamas saw my mother at his practice yesterday, my mother was very worried about her back. Dr Chamas exemplifies the very best of patient-centered care. His bedside manner is truly exceptional—he approached the interaction with warmth, empathy, and genuine attentiveness, immediately putting my mother at ease. What stands out equally is his ability to communicate complex medical information in a clear, thoughtful, and accessible way. He took the time to ensure my mother fully understood her condition and care plan, answering questions with patience and clarity.
Most importantly, Dr. Chamas instilled a strong sense of reassurance and confidence. My mother left his care not only better informed, but also feeling supported, heard, and cared for. His combination of clinical expertise, compassionate presence, and excellent communication skills makes a lasting and meaningful impact.”

April 23, 2025Craig W.Verified patient
The office staff is rude and not helpful. When they decide they are done they hang up mid call. They want me to wait over a month from the time of my MRI to discuss results with doctor. They don’t allow any phone calls with Dr and the more you request the faster they hang up on you.
Great Dr horrible staff
