Dr. Abuzeid is THE BEST!!!!
Excellent care from Al-Waleed. Made everything very easy to understand and was very friendly. The lady who took my blood pressure was fantastic as well
Dr. Abuzeid is an absolute treasure. I imagine he is incredibly busy and yet I never felt rushed, he was very thorough when gathering my history, his expertise was evident and he explained everything very clearly and frequently asked if I had questions or anything to add, he was thoughtful about my comfort during the exam, and even his care plan felt collaborative and tailored to my personal situation and lifestyle. I feel very lucky I was able to have this appointment with Dr. Abuzeid.

Dr Abuzeid is an amazing physician. The only outside is the difficulty getting a regular appointment with him. His appointments were scheduling 3 months out. Thank goodness I was able to see his PA who saw me for a severe sinus infection within a week and a half. She is also an excellent provider.
At every possible touchpoint my care was exceptional! The nurse who brought me into the room and gathered my info remembered me from previous visits and asked about my family. And Dr A is simply exceptional. I could not imagine a more caring thoughtfgul and talented physician

I like Dr Abuzeid's ability to explain things. He doesn't dumb down how explains certain health phenomenon and I think it's important for a medical profession.
[...] DR, explained what was going on very thoroughly. Gave clear direction of treatment. Left feeling like I was heard. Long wait was redeemed by excellent patient care.
Dr. Abuzeid set a high bar for excellence: personal rapport from the beginning with easy to understand communication (with humor) and kindness. [...] I'm [...] now and had never known a Dr. (and surgeon!) could be this wonderful in every way. He's also an associate professor who hopefully can instill these qualities in others. Have no idea how he has time to do everything! [...]
Dr. A was excellent, one of the best docs I've ever seen. He explained clearly what was going on and why, and options on how we can resolve. Very knowledgeable and surgery wasn't his first option as all others before him. I'm deeply grateful for the outstanding care I received by Dr. A!

Dr. A is a excellent doctor. He explains Everything So clear and find the problem right on the spot. I'm so lucky in such good hand! I will recommend him to all my friends.
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Al-Waleed Abuzeid. He was very kind and thorough explaining everything. He also did my endoscopy very mindfully of my experience. One of the best doctors I Have ever had. I also admired how well he treated the resident who was there with him.
I feel like one of my more minor issues was not properly addressed, but the core issue to which I saw Dr. Abuzeid was addressed with such surgical precision (pardon the pun) that I don't see any reason to complain.
I just have the highest praise for Dr. Abuzeid! I am not an easy case due to recalcitrant sinusitis, and I appreciate his problem solving and not giving up!
I enjoyed that the DR didn't hesitate to provide scientific explanation to me. My symptoms were actually a combination of multiple Independent root causes but the doctor was able to isolate them by listening to me.
Dr. Abuzeid is an excellent communicator, imparts a lot of knowledge and professionalism.
Dr Abuzeid was friendly and knowledgeable and put me at ease right away. He listened and reassured me.
Dr. Abuzeid is a gem. He listens, is knowledgeable, engaging, polite, thorough, cares, skilled and was intensely interested in helping me, the patient. The UW has a gifted doctor who is meticulous with his work and personable with his patients. Wish all doctors had his abilities and 'bedside manner".
*Dr. Abuzeid was extremely professional and concise in his explanations.
Excellent doctor - spent the entire time looking at me talking (NP typed notes) and was bold - crossed many different areas (normally doctors won't leave their specialty lane) and put together the first succinct answer to the 2 problems and mapped out a plan. I'm VERY impressed.
Both the PA and Dr. Abuzeid were helpful in explaining how the healing process is working.
