Patient Reviews
Oct 09, 2021
My mom was a patient of Dr. Fawaz in the early 1990's. She had hepatitis for over a year and lost almost 60 lbs within a months and developed jaundice. We almost lost her, but thanks to this fine doctor she recovered and is still with us. I don't know what he did, but he saved her life. Thank you Dr. Fawaz!
