Overall I am very satisfied with Dr. Jan and his staff.

Nov 18, 2024

This appointment was easy to make, and all of the concerns that I expressed were addressed by Dr. Jay in a professional manner.

Is doctor Thomas Knowles was great


Oct 19, 2024

The only reason that wait time was rates less than excellent was that he was in emergency surgery. The MA kept me apprised of the ETA as Dr Knowles was calling the office with that info. I was politely given options to wait for about 45 minutes or leave and reschedule. It was my choice to wait. When Dr Knowles arrived, he profusely apologized for the delay as he did when I left. The entire staff was very nice and professional. I am completely satisfied with the entire appointment. I am confident that future procedures and, likely, surgery will be in good hands.

My visit with Dr. Knowles was very positive. Although he is a Surgeon, and I have never had surgery, I found him to be knowledgeable and sensitive to my medical condition. As a retired RN, he respected my medical background and conversed with me on a clinical level. I appreciated that level of conversation and his professionalism.

Very satisfied


Sep 12, 2024

I was very impressed by the time the Dr took to explain everything thing to me, including drawing pictures on the white board to give me a visual understanding of what my insides look like and what could be happening and what the future tests would do, as well as possible surgery depending on the results. It put my mind at ease and made me much more comfortable with the upcoming tests.

Dr. Jan spent time explaining the workings of the body and answered all my questions. At no point did I feel rushed, nor did he seem so either.


Aug 27, 2024

Dr Knowles is my kind of doctor. Human, approachable, has a sense of humor and extremely knowledgeable. His front office staff blew my mind! Above and beyond helpful, without even having to ask. Very empathetic, understandable and thoroughon top of it!

Doctor seemed to actually care about my problem.


Jun 15, 2024

I have already recommended Dr Knowles to 2 neighbors with problems in areas of his expertise. One is now a current patient and very happy with his care.


Jun 14, 2024

Very good attentive care!


Jun 11, 2024

They are friendly when I go in and I don't have to wait more than 15 minutes and the doctor discusses everything thoroughly to where I understand it and when I call, I don't have to wait on the phone very long and I get the answers. I need that I'd recommend this doctor to people that are having issues, similar to mine


Jun 06, 2024

Great Doctor Care


May 11, 2024

I really like how the MA spoke to me about my condition. And Dr Knowles has been exceptional in my care; from the first appointment through all of my procedures. He and his staff are all exceptional, in my opinion. I felt very confident in their care.

Feb 22, 2024

Couldn't ask for a better doctors visit,

Good


Jan 30, 2024

Dr. Knowles office staff is first class, really helpful... Dr. Knowles is a God Send as far as I'm concerned; repairing my hernia in the best possible way, with little or no after effects, or pain, and on this post-op exam determining that the repair is holding and healing as it should.... I would and will recommend dr. Knowles to anyone I feel could benefit from his services... The Good Sam Hospital where the operation with Dr. Knowles took place, is like a well oiled machine, so smooth, and each patient treated like they are the only patients for that day.

Dr. Luai Zarour admits HE doesn't know what it is, or how it got there but assures me that he and my other providers will do their best to understand how, why, when nodule came to exist, why so painful, why so resistant to antibiotics, can another be prevented.


Jan 10, 2024

I got a referral to see a specialist at this clinic and I'm very happy I got dr. Zarour. Very professional, friendly, great communication. He explained everything very clear so I can understand what I have and what I need to do next.


Dec 29, 2023

I called to let them know I was running a bit late and they were very understanding.
