I'm beyond grateful for my provider. Always very kind and understanding she saw me through every step of the way with my transplant I really don't have enough words to express how grateful I am for dr Areej
Dr. El-Jawahri - Is the most compassionate, caring doctor I know. Her Nurse Practitioner, [redacted] is the same, knowledgeable and kind.
Areej el-Jawahri is the most wonderful, intelligent, thoughtful, caring person I have ever encountered in the medical world. She is the embodiment of what a health care professional should be. MGH is so very fortunate to have her. MGH is by far the best hospital around in making patient care their number one priority. Congrats!
Areej is the best doctor I have ever seen!!! She saved my life and I will always be grateful for that. Her bedside/desk side care is beyond reproach!!
Best of the Best
She was one of the best providers. I've been going to her for eight years or more. I wouldn't go to anyone else.
My husband and I were very impressed with the Doctor. She spent a lot of time and made us very comfortable. We left there feeling very fortunate to have been referred to MGH.
This care provider actually saved my life. She's wonderful, she's friendly, easy to talk to, she's amazing.
She is excellent, understands my situation completely and is always available to help.
Dr. E has saved my life twice. She is a rock star and a very compassionate, competent doctor. Any patient would be lucky to have her as his/her doctor.
