    Very Good experience with Dr.Ziad amp
  • Aug 6, 2026
    When I decide that it is time to do the abdominal surgery I will most definitely have it done by Dr Amr.
  • Jul 28, 2026
    Exceptional office visit. Issue with my elbow was determined to be non-surgical, but Dr. Amr was 100% focused on informing me of how I should go forward. Really in command and direct in a friendly way. If I ever need surgery, this is the doctor! But hoping I never see him again, :)
  • Jul 28, 2026
    I was impressed with the attention I received, the explanation of what will be done (should have been done prior to my visit) and possible out come. The doctor assured me he will work with me and accept me as his patient (good to know, I'm not a textbook patient). I look forward to resolving the issue(s).
