Dr. Said and his office were a joy to work with from start to finish. After years of pain I decided to finally proceed with a breast reduction this year. I scheduled consults with 4 of Seattle Met's Top Doctors but Dr. Said stood out immediately. During our consult he spent an entire hour with me going over every detail of the procedure, discussing potential risk, and explaining all my options for a woman of my age. I was extremely nervous, but Dr. Said made me feel comfortable and confident in his abilities to help me. After meeting with him once, I knew I had to book him.
On the days leading up to surgery I was a nervous wreck, but after reaching out to his nurses, Dr. Said offered to schedule an additional phone to ease some of my worry .This was on top of the pre-op appointment we already had scheduled! He made me feel so much better, and I went into surgery day feeling a lot calmer.
On the day of surgery, his anesthesiologist was really a stand-out. She was kind, comforting, and so so patient with me. Not only did she and all other doctors in that room come to speak with me personally before the procedure, they also spoke directly to my fiancé who was with me that morning, making sure he knew what to expect. We both felt safe and trusting in their entire team.
After surgery, everyone was lovely, and they sent me home with a nice care package and all the meds I needed. During recovery I had some hiccups regarding pain management, but Dr Said and his nurses were available by text or phone. I don't know any doctor who freely gives out his cell #, but no matter the date or time, I was able to text Dr Said if I had any questions. This level of care is unmatched, and his care and quick response time was so greatly appreciated.
I'm now a little over 3 months post-op and have been healing great. I've had 4 or 5 follow-up appointments with Dr Said and plan to see him again at the 6 month mark. The best thing about him and his office is they don't forget about you after surgery, they stick with you every step of the way and are quick to respond if you have any questions or concerns, even months after your procedure.
If you are thinking about getting surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Said. I am SO happy with my results and the entire process. Recovery wasn't always easy or pain free, but I always felt I was in the safest, most capable hands.
