Report
Dr. Alwattar and his assistant Jonathan are fantastic. However, one of the office workers, Shaina (or Sheena? I'm not sure) was incredibly rude and difficult to deal with, and probably should not be working in a job where she has to speak to other humans. Every interaction I had with her she talked to me in a condescending and rude manner. Dealing with surgery scheduling was also difficult as I could not get a response for 2+ weeks after calling multiple times and leaving multiple messages. I would love to continue having Dr. Alwattar as my surgeon specialist but the incompetence and rudeness of his staff is a big disappointment.

Jonathan Dunham was really helpful and thorough in explaining my MRI results. Just generally easy to talk to and good at consulting me on what to do.
