5.0 star star star star starDr. Syed was wonderful. He was thorough and had a great bedside manner. This was my first appointment with him, and I do not need further care from him. However, if I were to need care from a rheumatologist, I would absolutely see him again and recommend him to anyone who needs a rheumatologist.

So far the treatment seems to have worked very well, although recent blood tests indicate a problem has developed. Dr. Syed has quickly modified treatment a little, ordered follow-up blood testing, and told me to contact him if symptoms get significantly worse or I have questions.
