Vitals.com is a premier web site for reviewing and ranking physicians in every area of medicine. The site was originally created to help patients make intelligent, informed decisions about which physician to choose and help physicians keep track of what others are saying about them. The site's reviews are written by patients and posted anonymously.

"The patients have voted on this," said Obaid. "It's just hard to believe that I won this award after being in practice for less than a year."

The Patients' Choice Award on Vitals.com is given out annually to the physician with the highest and most consistent overall rating on the site. Obaid has an average of four out of four stars on four out of the seven areas that patients rank. This ranking on the other three areas are a 3.7 or higher.

Obaid is the primary physician at North Texas Plastic Surgery, which first opened its doors in March 2008.
