    Dr Massaad was new to me. I have several issues and she was incredibly supportive, listening and responding to questions. She has a plan for my care and I'm grateful to have found such a caring doctor.

    Julia Massaad was very well prepared when she walked in. She had was familiar with my history and clearly was prepared before coming in. It was an impressive experience. She asked on target questions, explained her diagnosis and concise next steps. I told my wife she should switch her doctor to Julia Massaad too.

    She did not show any warmth, caring, concern, or empathy toward my constant pain or options. I know those are things that are outdated now, but did not feel good to a senior who was used to more warmth and caring from medical people.

    Dr. Massaad is an excellent care provider. The first person to ever question my long-term medication and suggest trying to taper it off instead of being dependent on it forever. I am medication free now without any issues and have her to thank for it.

    I have been with Dr. Julia Massaad for the past seven years and during this time she always shows care for my condition and listen to my health complaints with kindness. While on the patient time she interacts with the patient and doesn't even turn the computer, she just focuses and interact with the patient the whole time ... Kudos to you Dr. Massaad!!

    I saw two other doctors and dealt with symptoms for almost a year before I saw Dr. Massaad for this issue - within twenty minutes of meeting her I had a diagnosis and a treatment plan. She explained very clearly what my diagnosis was and why she believed that was the case. She went over treatment options and gave me an idea of how managing my condition would look in the future. I really appreciate the level of care I received.

    I did not have a good experience with Dr. Massadd. I could tell she didn't believe me when I told her my appetite issues because I am a heavier weight. She was skeptical about diagnoses from prior GI doctors. She basically stated that she was willing to do one study with me and if that yielded no results I would have to accept that I am going to be chronically nauseous and vomit for the rest of my life.

    Dr. MASSAAD is a credit to Emory! She is everything I would wish for in a doctor: she listens, she is patient, she is clear, and she inspires confidence. She has proven herself to be a skilled physician, as well, in the care she has previously given my mother. I am delighted with her in every way.
