I recently visited Dr Marwan Al- Dawoud within the MSK department. He was very professional, and friendly, we exchanged conversation about symptoms and diagnosis for appropriate treatment. I would highly recommend his services.

I contacted Marwan for shoulder pain and he was excellent from start to finish. He took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and made sure I understood my diagnosis and treatment options. I was a little nervous about having a cortisone injection, but he was very reassuring and professional throughout. The procedure itself was quick, almost painless, and I felt confident I was in safe hands. Since the injection, I’ve noticed a real improvement and I’m so grateful for his expertise. Dr. Marwan is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely cares about his patients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a sports doctor.
