Dr. Syed Zaidi, MD

I started seeing Dr. Zaidi a few months ago after being T-boned by an SUV right at the driver's side door and although I am still in some pain, he has been the most helpful and compassionate doctor that I have seen yet, balancing pain needs with the potential risk of addiction, he has taken the time to educate me on what I am taking, how it could possibly effect me, and has a treatment plan to help keep me out of pain for the foreseeable future without having to go on higher and higher doses of medication. He has shown me multiple ways to fight pain when it comes from icing to certain stretches to how and when to take medication and cortisone injections. Thank you Dr Z!

He was also very rude to me as my mom is a patient of his I tried to tell his staff about a prescription the pharmacy would not fill and they acted like we were trying to get more medicine for my mom. I pick up her prescriptions so I know you go in a computer when you get a narcotic filled and can't get another one filled for 30 days. I would never take pain pills even after severe back pain from 30 yrs in the army so I was greatly offended by his actions and words. I personally would not let him treat my dog.

Dr. Zaidi in my opinion is one of the most professional and compassionate doctors I’ve worked with. Over the last two years I’ve had 8 surgery’s, most involved my back. Dr. Zaidi can appear to be unfriendly and not engaged. He is far from that. Keep in mind there are many people trying to get narcotics who should not have them. He has to determine if the individual is truly in need. I respect Dr. Zaidi. He is compassionate and there on the darkest days of pain. I recommend highly.

I saw this doctor a few days ago for the first time and had a very good experience. I see some bad reviews here but feel they may not be telling the whole story. Like most good doctors he is only going to prescribe what is medically necessary. Sometimes, medication is not the answer and surgery is required. As far as I am concerned he gave appropriate care, listened to what I had to say, and treated me with respect.

I saw the negative reviews of this doc and felt I had to leave a positive one. I think he is being treated unfairly by people trying to get medication that is not necessary for their condition. He listened to me, gave me options to consider, and prescribed appropriate medication and follow up. He did not try to hook me on anything or act in any manner less than professional. I have never reviewed a doc, but felt I needed to here.

He will attempt to get you into every unnecessary surgery and hook you on pills. Constant appt. changes at the last minute, as well as insurance charges for appt's. that were never made. WATCH YOUR BALANCES! Avoid at all cost. Staff poorly trained, they follow him like little lemmings. He is an uneducated bully who needs to go back to NY instead of coming to FL and fleeing the stiffer malpractice laws up North.

He Is Rude ,Condescending not a nice DR or person would not take my dog to see this arrogant DR!!!! DO your self a favor and avoid this man has no heart and does not care about you just your money RUN

Dr. Zaidi and his staff at Merritt Island office are very compassionate, friendly and competent. You cannot play Dr. Zaidi to get certain meds, etc You must have MRI proof of why you need certain meds, like all reputable doctors require. They process you through your visit in a quick as possible manner, but will take as much time as needed with you to answer questions and ensure you are taken care of.... not all Docs are in their field primarily for patient care...I can attest Dr. Zaidi is.

From the moment I walked in his office, Dr. Zaidi and staff are the most compassionate people. They don't over prescribe pills. They spend as much time as you need with them. They listen to you and I always feel happy and satisfied when I leave.
