Very good
I have had several appointments now and all of them went very well. This last appointment felt a little rushed.
He was also unsure why I was meeting with doctor.
Dr Issawi has my complete trust and provided me care that resulted in complete relief of pain after discectomy. I鈥檓 so grateful!.
I trust him enough that I will be scheduling surgery with him.
The entire experience was much better than I had anticipated. My stress level was at a 10 when I got there (no fault of any one here). I left feeling much better and appreciated the doctor's truth with me and my condition and the consequence's I might face if I do nothing. while
Dr Isawwi is the best.
I wanted some relief from pain and was pointed in a different option which I hope helps me..
Asking patient yo arrive 30 minutes ahead is where waiting time occurred. Then phone reminder said arrive 10 minutes early. Is that in addition to 30? Confusing. 15 total minutes in advance seemed adequate, but I didn鈥檛 need additional xrays this time.
Just very nice, thorough and answered any concerns I had really well.
We were happy to find out that we did not need to have any procedures done. The MRI was read by the doctor and showed that nothing more was necessary to be done.
Excellent doctor.
Dr Issawi is kind and an expert in the care he provides.

just very happy
My doctor answers all my question and provided great care.
Dr. Issawi interpreted clearly the imaging, responded to questions, and offered next steps.

I'm definitely coming back to this provider.
Dr. Issawi is great! He listens, gives you both sides of the options he presents and let鈥檚 you make the decision on the treatment. I wish it hadn鈥檛 taken me so long to get to Dr. Issawi because of my primary care doctor and getting the referral
I pray he doesn鈥檛 leave馃檹
My issues have improved greatly after surgery and It is only been 5 weeks, I couldn鈥檛 be happier, my overall experience has been very positive..

Great care and explanation of recovery after surgery
Great experience overall鈥毭劽甧very member of the staff is super helpful. Andrea is great!
After having numerous surgeries in this department and the last fusion failing I would expect some more empathy from the doc. he explained everything well it seemed but seemed very much in a hurry. This is horrible news I received and there was little concern (or so I perceived).
very good
I would recommend this provider to anyone needing treatment.
Both appointments with Dr Issawi have been positive. He spends enough time to thoroughly explain and answer my questions..

Took his time and and was well knowledgeable.
I only hope scheduling surgery goes quickly
Would like shorter call back from me leaving a message.
100% blown away with his explanation of all the things that are wrong with my lower back. He compared both of my MRI's side by side showing me what is what & what would be done if I choose to have surgery. Very impressive doctor.
Very pleased. He was prepared, explained my issue to my understanding, listened to me, heard me! Had a plan of action and moved forward with it. I can't thank him and his office staff enough!
Doctor was informed about my condition. He listened to what I had to say.

Good listener, pleasant manner, patient.
Office staff was very accommodating. Dr. Is top notch! Listened, explained, and showed concern for my care.
I was so excited to meet him finally. It'd been 3 yrs and 1 day since he removed my brain tumor and I didn't really 'meet' him then. He was very kind and smart and caring. He saved my life!
The Dr was easy to understand and explained everything to me that I needed to make a decision on my care.

Excellent. This provider is very thorough, patient and explains things in the ways it can be understood. My 1st time as the patient, but not my first interactions (spouse, Dad) we requested this provider.
I made this appt. to find out about the new back problems that started. He was very good at explaining and answering my questions - He sent me to neurologist for further care. Was very pleased with him.

Very good, informed & comfortable.
He was great.
Dr. Issawi was knowledgeable, professional, and personable.
Everything went well.
I have complete and total trust in Dr Issawi. He explains everything very thoroughly, shows scans and makes sure I understood everything completely. It is quite a drive for me to come to St Joe's to see him, but he is my number one choice!!!
I went with a back problem and Dr. Assawi was able to explain my MRI and show me where he thought the p9roblem originated. The "fix" was surgery.
Did not rush me and answered all questions. Very good visit
Dr. Issawi was very nice. He explained everything to me on my MRI. I liked him very much and would feel confident to have him as a surgeon.
Dr. Issawi was one of the most professional and knowledgeable physicians I have seen in many years.
This provider was amazing! He listened to me and my daughter and showed genuine concern for me and what's going on with me.
Very nice... very knowledgeable... showed nerves being pinched. Showed device. Explained how bone would grow back even at my age.
From the provider to staff (great).

Excellent experience - felt comfortable asking questions -
Just so long between visits.
*Dr. Issawi made me feel very confident in him. From the start all the way through and after surgery.
Happy the surgery went as well as it did -
So very impressed w/doctor & office. Would highly recommend.
We discussed my laminectomy surgery. *Dr. A. Issawi was very informative & my surgery was successful.
Talked so fast, I did not have a chance to assimilate what he was saying or respond
1 st visit with new dr went well very informative.
I feel like someone is finally listening to me and offering hope and suggestions and putting in referrals and ordering tests.
Excellent individual who was very personable and took all the time needed to answer my questions completely.
Seemed confident & informed about problem.
Treated very good.
Excellent diagnosis!!!
I went to see Dr. Isawwi for my post year check-up after spinal surgery. The surgery was successful, and he explained the results of my x-rays and released me from his care, but told me I could always call if a problem arises.
Caring and responsive to my questions
Dr. Issawi is exactly who any doctor ought to be. He does all things correctly.
Review of back MRI taken at Promedica Hickman. I was told I had choices R/T my care. Chose less invasive, but doctor assured me to come back if needed.
First visit very gratifying.
He gave me his honest opinion about whether or not to have surgery. He recommended more testing and meeting with physical med. doctor first.
This was a surgery follow up visit.
I came to this office for MRI results for the cervical spine, he didn't go over that with me at all, which the MRI results were somewhat serious. He just kept flicking thru the thorax MRI I also had done - which the report said was normal.
Outstanding, targeted care.
We arrived early to do paperwork. Saw the doctor before our scheduled appointment. He was informative and explained everything I needed to know in a clear manor. Highly recommend Dr. Issawi
A good visit - waiting to hear from ortho knee doctor per Dr. Issawi.
Dr was very informative. Explained things very well and attentive to my questions. Was very relaxing to talk to and was genuine in his concerns for my well being.
Was a very good experience. Very knowledgeable of my records and results of tests. Very honest about any treatments.
Outstanding physician - expert knowledge base, patient, compassionate & professional.
I was only visiting to find a surgeon for a recent brain tumor discovery. I don't see this doctor on a regular basis. I will say I had a fine visit.
Dr. Issawi is clearly very knowledgeable and clinically competent in his field. I have confidence in his diagnostic and surgical skills. The RN who came in after Dr. Issawi might have provided more info, re: next steps prior to surgery such as the fact that PCP might require further tests (i.e., blood work/EKG) prior to authorizing surgery. Also that some of the info in booklet given might not apply to out-pt. minimally invasive surgery.
My hopes are very high that this the Doctor to get me out of pain an walking pain free
He was kind, attentive, very knowledgeable about my health history. He even answered questions about what type of appliance he would use should I have to have surgery.
He explained my situation and options extremely well and throughly. He inspired confidence, and he respected and addressed my worries, fear, and my hesitation to go ahead with a surgery I need. I think that he is a fantastic Doctor
Dr. Issawi explained in great detail what to expect from my surgery and the risks. I am pain-free now and very satisfied with the care I received. I have recommended Dr. Issawi to several of my friends already. I was hesitant to have this surgery but am so glad that I did. my life has improved immensely and look forward to enjoying life with my family and friends.
