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.

Back again
I had a knee replacement 7 years ago done by Dr. Sayeed. I’m back again, this time for the other knee. That says a lot that I came back for him to do the second one.

I can't say enough about his skill as a surgeon. I have had two replacement surgeries, knee and reverse shoulder, both have been 10's for me. He has a quiet manner, answered all of my questions. Staff guided me through prep skillfully. Carolyn Zuta, PA is a gem! I can't say enough about support staff. Kris helped me through all my queries. They took a bad situation and gave me a positive outcome. My knee is great! And I am less than 2 weeks from shoulder replacement and well on the way toward a complete recovery. Thankful for the skills of this Dr.

Referred by the VA. His staff was very professional and did a great job taking care of me. Dr. Sayeed talked me through the entire rotor cuff and torn bicep muscle procedures, pre/post surgery, therapy requirements and lastly release from his care. I was scheduled at Methodist hospital and had zero problems with their staff. Paperwork and directions was point on. I was back at work a whole month ahead of schedule. Conveniently works out of two offices.

He repaired my torn meniscus. Felt no pain after surgery or did I require to take any afterwards. Healed so quickly. During physical therapy others had same surgery but their Dr. Placed a cast causing knee to stay in one position. My Dr. didn't. Their knee required long painful therapy due to knee locked. Dr. Sayeed is such a nice gentle Dr. he'll take the time to answer any questions u may have and is straightforward. Excellent Dr.

I saw Dr Sayeed 5 yrs ago for joint pain and lack of mobility in my shoulders. Since that first visit Dr Sayeed has done joint replacement surgery on both my shoulders and both my knees due to severe bone on bone joint disease I am very happy that I chose to have Dr Sayeed do all of my surgeries. He is professional yet warm and explains things in a way that anyone can understand. He also shows you the X-rays and MRI's and explains to you what you are seeing and then discusses options with you. The surgeries were not without hiccups,they never are, but there was never any doubt in my mind that the outcome would be less than discussed. Dr Sayeed did not know until my first surgery that I was a retired nurse, it made no difference. I wish other doctors and their staff could take a page from his office standards and understand that it’s not just the clinical part that needs to be excellent but the people interaction also makes a big difference in the healing process.

I had surgery in January 2019 to repair a torn rotator cuff and bicep muscle on my left shoulder by Doctor A. It was a disaster, beginning with scheduling the surgery, the doctor looking at old data, etc. Six months later, I was still experiencing significant pain and limited range of motion. I had followed my post operative instructions and physical therapy faithfully. When I was not getting better, I went back to see the surgeon and he gave me an injection that was intended to fix my issue. It did not. I finally could no longer stand the constant pain and I called Dr. Sayeed's office to schedule an appointment to determine the root cause of my ongoing discomfort. He promptly assessed my condition and determined the previous surgery was not successful and he could do the repair. The surgery and recovery was a complete success. Highly recommend Dr. Sayeed.

I was a patient of Dr. A and I was very lucky to have been referred to him for my injury and surgery. My unfortunate experience was not with Dr. A but with the staff after Dr. A left this group. I signed documentation to have my files sent to the new office and they did not forward as I had requested and caused a delay in service with Dr. A. I was given the run around by the staff in saying they did not know where to send my information. I have rethought my decision in referring people as I do not want my friends and family to have the experience I had with the staff.

Saw Dr. Sayeed for knee pain. He suggested knee replacement in both knees. I am currently receiving chemo, so that type of surgery is out of the question. He gave me 2 sets of cortisone shots, then suggested gel shots. That's when things went south. Waited over 3 months for the shots. When called they would give me one excuse or another. Finally got busy myself calling around and did get the shots in. They worked well for 6-7 weeks and the pain returned. Called his office about it. They called back and wanted me to get new x-rays since the old ones were 7 months old. I did and went in 3 weeks later. Wait times are always 2 hours or more. When I received the gel shots it was a 2.75 hour wait. This time our appointment was at 3:45, he saw us at 5:20. Didn't talk about the new x-rays, just said "Your knees are arthritic and there's nothing I can do for you." Not what I expected. Needless to say I'm looking for another doctor who shows some COMPASSION for his patients.

I did a lot of research before choosing Dr. Sayeed to replace my knee. There’s something very special about Dr. Sayeed. He was a former engineer before becoming a physician and I believe that background made him highly qualified to become the excellent orthopedic surgeon he is. Unbelievably however is the fact that he remains humble, soft-spoken and compassionate to his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Sayeed to anyone needing orthopedic surgery. He is the epitome of what Physician should be.

Dr Sayeed he is ok.... but the staff is just a bunch of arrogant and manipulating rejected persons, starting with the front end where after going there more than 3 times your personal information is never correct, their personal calls superceed any of your questions or needs, the Office manager you don't dare to look at her because you will get the worst stink eye ever, she will curse you with just one look and she has made Dr. her personal puppet, they have a collecto on site that hates her job

Dr. Sayeed is so charismatic, humble, hornoable. Working in this profession as a healthcare professional, let alone in the surgical dept. Dr Sayeed always has a smile on his face. As a patient to him I‘ve seeked lots of knowledge on my orthopedic conditions. Dr. Sayeed never gave up on any directions or instructions while referring me out to all great providers he’s worked with on cases. I will always trust his judgment. Most importantly he communicates effectively Your great Dr. & Ms. Rosie????

I was in a major car accident that fractured my pelvis from top to bottom and completely tore my PCL, and my leg bursa sacks were crushed from the ankle to my knee. Dr. Sayeed did not prescribe me addictive medication, instead a mild pain killer with an anti-inflammatory. I followed his instructions and did not have to have surgery. I recovered and thank him and God for sparing me of a lifetime of serious pain and agony. Thank you Dr. Sayeed.
