Dr. Uzair Syed, MD

I went to see Dr. Syed at the NM Bloomingdale Immediate Care for my son. After waiting more than 2 hours in the lobby for the checkup, Dr. was not showing any interest in the patient or even with the evaluation. He ordered multiple tests and came back to let the results know, but didn't go over the results for all the test performed, We had to ask him for each test performed. After prescribing the medications he didn't go over the list/names with us and they were not included in the summary doc provided, had to ask him what medications he has prescribed. Very bad experience especially when a patient is little boy.

I went to see Dr Syed at the urgent care northwestern med in Carol Stream to remove a fish hook from my finger. He gave me lidocaine local anesthetic, and tried to cut the hook with the tiniest pliers. He didn’t see to know what to do, he left the room, I took the pliers, crimped the barb closed and pulled the hook out myself. He was surprised when he came back, gave me a bandaid and sent me in my way. When I disputed the bill that charged me $1300 for removal of foreign body, because why charge me for something I did myself? Dr syed flat out lies and makes up a story that he removed the hook, and that I tried to take it out and I broke a piece off in my finger that he had to remove! Problem with his lies is that I still have the hook and it’s still in one piece. If a Dr can flat out lie and make things up like this, I would not trust him to perform any medical procedures.

I wouldn't. I visited him at urgent care and he turned something very simple (a stomach ache) into a level I didn't even think was possible. He said he was surprised I was so upset by what he said. I was so upset because he was wrong. Because of his incompetence with a diagnosis, we were sent to a hospital, which was totally unnecessary. . The hospital couldn't even believe we were sent there. The hospital was very friendly, gave us some follow up phone numbers and sent us home.
