I am very untrusting towards the medical industry since the Covid debacle and I felt that my experience here renewed my faith in medicine. I felt heard and I left with answers that no one has been able to come up with in the last 6 months. I could not have asked for more.

07/11/2023

Dr. Daw is a kind and caring physician. I am very pleased with his conscientiousness. Dr. Daw went over my records the night before my appointment trying to troubleshoot various problems.

I appreciate the kindness and caring that Dr. Daw and his assistant show towards me.

06/17/2023

Dr. Daw showed a level of concern and consciousness that is unparalleled among my many Doctor visits in my 60 years. The day before my visit, I sent copies of past labs along with a two page explanation of the purpose of my visit. I also took a copy with me in case he didn't have time to review these prior to my appointment. To my shock and amazement, he had not only THOROUGHLY reviewed these, but he had also gone through the Epic system to see if there were any CT scans or other tests that might indicate whether or not I have any []!! WOW! That was so very impressive and caring, not to mention that it demonstrated his intelligence and memory to keep my data straight from his other thousands of patients. In addition, after my appointment he added more info to the notes and sent me a message on mychart to notify me. I highly value his advice and greatly appreciate him taking the time to explain various preventive tests and my level of risk.

06/15/2023

The trainee that administered my EKG was very good!

He referred to and explained previous test results that had not been explained by other medical professionals. He is very thorough. He listened to my concerns and provided research-based information for me to consider as we develop a plan for my health. Clearly, he is a doctor who cares about his patient's overall health and as individuals, not just a box to be checked.

06/10/2023

Dr. Daw and his staff are ALWAYS wonderful!

At this visit, I was particularly impressed with Dr. Daw's patience in responding to me on the patient portal prior to the visit. It made the visit more productive. Also, as a follow-up, Dr. Daw responded to my concerns about an [] scheduled for the end of this month. He always responds quickly and is so helpful. I feel very lucky to have him taking care of my heart. I trust him 100 percent and look to him to guide me in making decisions, and I also know he respects my rights as a patient to choose. Since I am very independent and stubborn, Dr. Daw's respect and exceptional understanding of my feelings is commendable. I feel he genuinely cares about me and making sure I am getting the best care.

As long as he is a practicing physician I will come to him with my condition and my check-ups and if things turn to where I need more advanced care or hospitalization I fully trust his judgement. He will be hard to replace, so please treat him very well !
