My experience with this provider was excellent. From the moment I walked in, I felt that my concerns were taken seriously. The provider was not only professional and thorough, but also approachable and patient. I appreciated how he took the time to listen, explain things in a way I could understand, and involve me in the decision-making process. It's clear that he genuinely cares about his patients. I left the appointment feeling informed and confident about the next steps in my care.

Dr. Issawi showed me the picture of my MRI and fully explained what was going on with my back. He did not push me to make a decision about back surgery, but he explained the pros and cons of waiting. He put my mind at ease after explaining the reasons for the surgery. I have complete confidence in him to surgically repair my back issues. I am very happy with his demeanor and honesty.

07/04/2025

Dr Issawi is exceptionally warm, caring, knowledgeable and articulate. I believe that I - and all his other patients - receive the same level of care that he would give to the members of his own family. I can't think of higher praise.

I am a former emergency medical technician for an ambulance company and high school teacher in mathematics and science. Dr Issawi is one of the most outstanding neurosurgeons and physicians I have ever met in my career dealing with medical personnel. He is top-of-the-line, authentic, well-trained, and a doctor's doctor. You cannot go wrong under his care. He is an outstanding neurosurgeon, and you would be blessed and would be blessed like I was to be under his care and treatment for my severe cervical surgery, for which I thank God I trusted him with that responsibility. Dr Issawi is the essence of the hypocritical oath and devotion to his career. I don't have enough time and space in this review to exemplify every instance, I've had contact with him and how much I was in all byI exemplify every instancevery instance, I've had contact with him and hinfluencedh I was n all by his experience and positive support before and after my operation.
