Stormont Vail Health Welcomes Dana Awad, M.D., to the Endocrinology Team

Stormont Vail Health proudly welcomes Dr. Dana Awad, a board- certified physician specializing in endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism, to the Stormont Vail Endocrinology team. Dr. Awad provides care at the Cotton O’Neil Diabetes and Endocrinology Center, 3520 S.W. 6th Ave., Topeka.

For Dr. Awad, a native Jordanian who grew up in the United Arab Emirates, becoming a doctor is a lifelong dream.

“I’ve wanted to be a doctor since I was young,” Dr. Awad said. “This profession has always inspired me. Endocrinology specifically interested me because I come from a family with different endocrine problems, especially diabetes. I wanted to specialize in something where I could help my loved ones and, of course, my community.”

Dr. Award earned her medical degree at the University of Sharjah in the U.A.E. Her connection to endocrinology fueled her passion and understanding of patients’ challenges. She continued her education in the U.S., completing her internal medicine residency at Creighton University and an Endocrinology Fellowship at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

With her credentials in hand, Dr. Awad joins Stormont Vail, eager to help patients managing lifelong conditions enjoy fuller, healthier lives.

“Endocrinology deals with chronic diseases, so most of my patients are patients for life. I try to educate patients about their condition and options so that they’re completely informed and can confidently make the right decision.”

Dr. Awad is accepting new patients at the Cotton O’Neil Diabetes and Endocrinology Center—call (785) 354-9591 to schedule an appointment.
