I have liked and respected all of my doctors at Crystal Run over the many years I have been with the organization. Among their many virtues, they are aware of the whole picture, and helpful in that way. CKD has become my biggest health challenge recently. Dr. Syed and the nutritionists have been focused on the necessary dietary changes that have been difficult for me to manage. I'm in the midst of more testing. The initial results are encouraging, for which I credit the thoughtful approach of the team at Crystal Run, including those working on the CKD of course.
