    Because Dr.Syed, like many Dr's work within a system which all too often tie their hands when it comes to patient services. It may not necessarily be the Dr.'s fault but that's all the patient sees.

    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.

    I appreciated his kindness and his knowledge face to a disturbing blood test I had received. I immediately try to remedy to that by sending him a copy of that lab result and the list of all my meds. I am very pleased to the fact that I received this e-mail and I would definitely desire an other more productive appointment now that Dr Syed should have in hands my necessary information. One important fact that was not mentioned on the blood test is the fact that I was fasting.

    When the test results indicated abnormalities I did not receive communication from my doctor for a follow up to discuss safe abnormalities
