Patient Reviews
Jun 25, 2020
Dr. Awender was the surgeon on call in February 2017 when my son Mark with Autism Spectrum Disorder, needed an emergency surgical procedure. He has been there for him since. There is not an adult surgeon I have ever encountered in 50 years of nursing, that has gone over and above to try to help and heal a young non-verbal man with special needs . He is kind, considerate, a great surgeon, professional and always available if needed. I feel our son would not of survived without this outstanding man and surgeon. He get a rating of 100 plus out of 1-10. His staff Mary is also one of a kind in professionalism, knowledge, ability and understanding with a soft spot for the special need population. We are blessed to have Dr. Awender and Mary in Mark and our life.
