Dr.Syed is a wonderful Doctor I like his service; if anyone have a number other than this one? 903-785-3400 .
I keep trying to contact his office by dialing this # 903-785-3400 to no avail. Do you have a different # that I may be able be able to get in contact with him or his secretary? I sure would appreciate it. Have a blessed day.

No frills, to the point, great guy.
He does what he's meant to do, is respectable and hears what is said to him. Willing to answer questions, explains when necessary and I love him. He doesn't waste my time and I really appreciate him.

I have found Dr. Syed to be extremely knowledgable and concerned about not just my pain but my overall health, I've been seeing him for several years and have never once had a complaint. His staff is very personable and helpful. I would recommend this doctor to anyone with genuine pain but not to your pain medication seeker. He is very professional and caring, if you have genuine pain he will work with you until he finds the right med or med combination to elevate your suffering.

Dr Syed is a direct and professional Dr. If you are pill seeking go elsewhere because he will find you out.
I was medically retired from the army because of injuries from Iraq. I had been walking with assistance devices for 4 years. The va had already told me I was likely to always need them.
Within 6 months Dr Syed had changed my life and I was walking on my own for the first time since Iraq. The pain is still present but is managed.
I still have limitations but my quality of life is good

I would NEVER refer family/friend to him. He's walked into the room with someone else's chart and argued with me about it not being mine! Doesn't listen, doesn't care, and has reverted to options that he's already tried that don't work. Staff doesn't want to be there. Amber should be in another job, she clearly hates her's. They don't answer the phone, don't return messages, don't submit perscriptions timely-for pain meds-then deny it. Wouldn't go if I had a choice. Insurance dictates.

I call and tell them about a family member being an addict. This person had three pills left when they should have had 26 of dilauded. They instead of correcting the situation they have given said person extended release. These in turn will be gone fairly quick.. This place should be shut down if they don't listen to family who is letting them know

Poor customer service from staff.
1. Appointment times over a month out
2. Staff unwilling to process paperwork in timely manner
3. After dragging their feet and asking for explanation of process, staff stated they will just cancel my referral
This was very unprofessional and disheartening expierence to a family member of an Active Duty Soldier just moving into town.

Dr. Zyed's level of treatment was very poor. He does not take the time to discuss or listen to my problems or concerns. I tried to explain what problems I was having & refused to give me proper medications. Instead he gave me Rxs for meds that worsened my problems and told me that his job is Not to eliminate my pain but to make it tolerable. That statement confirmed my thought that this wasn't the doctor for me.

Dr. Syed has helped me to be able to lead a productive and near normal life now. I was not able to walk good without help, I have neuropathy and lower back pain that has had me feeling like my limbs were on fire 24/7. With Dr Syed's help I am now able to care for myself. I would recommend him in a heart beat. The staff has alot to be desired but he c an take care of that.....hopefully soon.

It's ESI INJECTION NOT NARCOTICS. They lost my referral. I don't have to see the doctor to know the state of incompetence at this place. Please, do not trust your healthcare to a place that can't keep up with your private health information. Dr. Sandhu called me personally to tell me she sent my referral. Dr. Syed's office called me the following day to tell me they received the referral. A week later some woman on the phone tells me it didn't happen. REALLY???? Lady, don't imply I'm lying.
