Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Syed and all of the staff are like family. They make you feel comfortable, but yet they are professional.

Horrible Practice
I've been a patient of Dr. Syed's for over 12 years, and I thought I was receiving good care until I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. I suppose anyone can treat strep or bronchitis, but you really discover their worth as a provider when your health needs change. If you valued your health and well being, do not waste your time here. This office is so outdated and unorganized. They have yet to transition to electronic medical records or the 21st century, and as a result, they have no idea what your current conditions or medications are. This is extremely dangerous and just ridiculous in this day and age. Do yourself a favor and find a doctor actually cares about their patients and invests in their practice, instead of doing the bare minimum until they can finally retire.

I wouldn't recommend a dog go to this practice. Upon my initial visit I was told I don't write scripts for pain, "excuse me"... I a wasn't there for that however it wasn't the experience with the doctor that was not the issue. His staff is incompetent, why does it take the prescription MA so long to do nothing. Six months working on an approval that was never obtained. Then you release me from practice with explanation. Very poor patient relations. Sorry I ever went there.

Dr. Syed and his staff do not follow up on messages left and discussions with staff. I talked with Dr. Syed's office staff on Monday about a problem with a referral to a surgeon for debridement of a leg wound that he made for a family member. The staff member transferred me to leave a message stating someone would get back to me. It's now Thursday and I have not heard a word. I called the office again today, and they are closed. Very, very poor follow through and care for their patients.

We found Dr. Syed to be friendly and competent enough. The Office Staff seems to have problems with communication and understanding when there is more than one medical insurance involved. They solve communication problems by being belligerent and refusing to listen. This is base off my personal experience and the experience of Health Advocate who tried to get back copays I paid erroneously at their Office Manager's insistence. They won't file the secondary insurance out of spite.

Horrible new patient experience. Dr. Syed's office asked me to reschedule my appointment because his name was not on my insurance print out. My first thought was why not? so I got on the phone with the insurance company--to confirm my coverage and suggested they talk to the office clerk, the office clerk responded with we can't talk with the insurance agent. She was just following office protocol. Shouldn't patient care be Drs priority?
