This is the most wonderful doctor we ever met. We are so extremely grateful to Dr Al-Awamer and his staff for his kind and gentle demeaned in caring for my daughter in her final weeks of life. He promised us that our beautiful daughter who had excruciating pain from osteosarcoma that she would pass peacefully and pain-free and he and the amazing staff in the palliative care Ward did precisely that. He is amazing in every way. His voice was so gentle that he was barely audible. He always came by to check on my daughter and to speak to us with genuine concern and extreme honesty. God bless this man.

Dr. Al-Awamer rescued my Partner Robert Bernard Kell from the emergency department of the Toronto General Hospital We had been there several times and always sent home, Dr Al-Awamer realized the severity of Bob's illness and took me aside to gently tell me that Bob was very ill, and might not live much longer, Bob had struggled for months realizing there was something seriously wrong with him, although his GP downplayed the severity....Dr Al-Awamer admitted Bob to Toronto General, and called me at home a few hours later to tell me that he had found a space for Bob in the Princess Margaret Cancer Palliative care centre, and that Bob was being taken there as he spoke. I had never heard of this place, the moment I walked into Bob's room I realized that this was a wonderful caring place for someone with bone cancer to die, Dr Al-Aware took the time to explain the us the possible scenario of Bob's dying in the most caring and loving manner+ clearly, realizing I and the family were under great duress, what a godsent the palliative care centre is, it made a horrific year of running around visiting doctors, keeping appointments etc, not being told the truth about his condition, a place filled with caring persons Bob spent 9 days, we were able to spend the nights with him, Bob died very peacefully in my presence, I was glad that suffering had come to an end So grateful to the kind caring of Dr Al-Awamer who became a light in an otherwise dark period of our lives, Thank you Dr Al-Awamer.

I had a horrendous experience with Dr. Al-Awamer. I brought my mother to an appointment with him that ended with her sobbing in tears because he was raising his voice at her. He told her that her pain is "not cancer pain," when she has stage four cancer. He specializes in palliative care but he was so rude and upsetting. He has absolutely no kindness in the way he deals with people. He then dismissed her as a patient and said he would no longer be seeing her because "it's not working out." I wish I had had the foresight to videotape this appointment, because it was disgusting and so scary. I saw another patient in the waiting room who had a brain tumor and could no longer articulate herself well...what if she faces the same abuse from him, but is unable to tell anyone? I strongly do not recommend Dr. Al-Awamer. I marked him as 3/5 for knowledge because he does know his facts and medication, but he has zero knowledge of how to treat a patient.
