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.

Happy patient – Mar 03, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Syna?
I’ve been avoiding this but it’s affected the rest of my care so have no choice. I was referred to Dr. Syna for neurology but upon reading her reviews refused to see her. Through no fault of my own I ended up seeing her for a nerve conduction (my doctor needed it ASAP and she was available). I made the mistake of assuming the test had one way of being administered so expected she’d be fine in this instance. I was wrong. She was an hour and a half late without apology, appeared put out and rushed, and performed exactly 1/4 of the test that was ordered. During testing she ignored my left side and neck (the roots of the problem) then finished abruptly insisting she didn’t need to go on because she’d found a MINOR pinched nerve. As a result of the incomplete test my neuro had no information about my neck or left side pain to go on and wrote me off. A year later, unable to use my arms or legs upon waking I’ve had to start the neuro process over again with an entirely new team.
