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.

Recommendation
Dr El-Sayegh is an amazing and most careful Doctor in the Nephrology Specialty I have ever met. She gives all her attention and care to its patient and treat him if it was a part of her family. Her Staff member goes above and Beyond to take care of the patient and to make it quick visit and the most comfortable visit ever. All The best to Dr El-Sayegh and her team. Strongly recommend her

Excellent doctor!
My father is patient of doctor Elsayegh. She is very professional and caring. She took her time to ask questions and to listen. My father is extremely happy with the care provided by doctor Elsayegh. I definitely recommend her.

My mother has been a patient of Dr. El-Sayegh's for about 6 years now. Dr. El-Sayegh is very caring, patient, and has always listened to our concerns and answered our questions thoroughly. Her bedside manner is top notch. The same is true for the office staff. I am honestly appalled to read some of these reviews that say otherwise. I would not take my mother anywhere else. My mom has also seen Dr. El-Charabaty (when Dr. El-Sayegh was away) and he is yet another excellent physician with superb bedside manner.

Very impatient, doesn’t seem to care. Do not recommend. If you live in Staten Island I highly recommend Dr. El sharabaty, he is quite pleasant and has a good attitude. I requested to be seen by him instead of Suzanne el Sayegh the last time I was at Staten Island hospital.

Terrible doctor! She is very nasty and rushes her visits with her patients. I spent hours waiting to be seen by her, her staff is extremely nasty but what can you do it’s typical Staten Island. She spends less than 5 mins with her patients and grimaces the entire time. DON’T GO TO SUZANNE EL SAYEGH!

Excellent Physician
Both my son and I have been patients of Dr. El Sayegh since 2005. My son is a kidney transplant recipient and I was his donor. I find Dr. El Sayegh to be quite knowledgeable, competent, and compassionate. The staff is also very professional. I have recommended friends and family over the years to this practice, and now I am recommending you the reader

I see Dr. El-Sayegh every 3 months for my kidney, I had a transplant 12 years ago and she’s been my doctor ever since. She is a kind and caring doctor and I recommend her very highly, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Outstanding
Dr Elsayegh is such a great nephrologist I would recommend her to anyone. She took such great care of my brother in law from day one since his first encounter in the hospital and monitored him outpatient ever since. The doctor was very through answered any questions we had and explained everything in detail; as far as procedures being done and what medications he was taking that might affect his only kidney down to his diet and fought very hard to keep him off dialysis. My family is very greatful to meet such a wonderful doctor and thank you for you dedication.

Dr. El-Sayegh has been treating me for health issues I've developed over the last couple of years. She has identified specific treatments which alleviate and control the underlying causes of my health problems. She is professional and fully explains the issues and treatment plan at each office visit. I am very satisfied with Dr. El=Sayegh.

Not good
I saw Dr. Suzanne El-Sayegh during a hospital visit at Staten Island University Hospital North. I was referred to her by the hospital after discharge but I chose to go to a different nephrologist due to the following reasons: she was very impatient, she didn’t give me enough time to speak and kept cutting me off, I didn’t get the chance to give her my full story, she spoke very fast and when I asked for calcification she got upset and was very rude to me, she seemed very angry she was screaming at one of the other young doctor who was initially there to help me. Overall her behavior was very unprofessional and made me uncomfortable. I didn’t like her.

Horrible
She is truly horrible. She has no sympathy for her patients. Very disrespectful. I don’t know how or where she received her medical degree. I don’t recommend her to anyone. My mother was her patient but she was so bad we had to switch doctors. My mother is now seeing Dr. Chevalier and we are very happy with him.

Worst nephrologist in Staten Island
She is one of the worst nephrologists I’ve been to. Do not go to her. She has no manners, she spent 2 minutes with me and was looking at her phone the entire time. She didn’t spend enough time with me and did not seem to care at all. She is not a good doctor.
