Dr Dawoud is a man of few words. If you are having pain or problems, you will need to express these to him. He is then able to suggest ways of treating your pain that others have not. Dr Dawoud was finally able to find what was causing the grinding pinching pain in my back after 18 years and to many dr's. It was my facet joints and after 1 shot, pain gone. The same with my hip bursa. I trust him implicitly. He does not give out narcotics, this dr uses them when necessary but uses options first.
