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.

Poor experience and Doctor. More concerned with his own hubris and personal awards than getting medications ordered for patients. Staff reflects the attitude of the doctor, unprofessional and non-caring.

A caring and wonderful doctor
Dr. Saymeh has been nothing but helpful! He is a very busy man but he always takes the time to explain every thing thoroughly. He is very intelligent and knows what he is doing. He doesn’t sugar coat and that’s what I love about him. I used to be nauseated 24/7 until he fixed me. He is a true gift from God and I am very thankful for him.

Outstanding Doctor and Staff
We've been seeing Doctor Saymeh for the last 3 years and couldn't be more happy with him and his staff. On two occasions my husband had emergency conditions that Doctor Saymeh attended, to include an emergency surgery in ICU. He's a life saver and we strongly recommend him.

I have had an ulcer for years, just found out I also have Adrenal Insufficiency or Addison’s Disease which prohibits stomach ulcers from healing. Dr. Saymeh wanted Dr. Vaughn to cut out the stomach ulceration of 24 mm in diameter. Dr. Vaughn did not want to do the surgery. For 2 days, while I was in the Hospital we would be told I was going to have the surgery & then that I was not. Dr. Vaughn finally came to my room & said I was not going to have gastric, apparently radical surgery… After being released from the Hospital I was in terrible pain, at times, from the Stomach Ulcer. I called Dr. Saymeh’s Office to schedule an appointment & was informed that because, apparently, the Radical Surgery (basically bariatric bypass on a 120 lb woman of 5’5”) was not done, Dr. Saymeh childishly gathered all my information, sent it to my GP, & refuses to see me, ever. If Dr. Saymeh could’ve spent more than 5 seconds Explaining to my Husband & myself the issues… MAYBE WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL RECOVERING FROM MULTIPLE ISSUES I WOULD HAVE MADE ANOTHER CHOICE. We will never KNOW. Dr. Saymeh is SO BUSY TRYING TO LEAVE FROM THE MOMENT HE STEPS INTO YOUR HOSPITAL ROOM IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SPECULATE. His Office manners are about the same.

Rude Doctor
He only spends 5 minutes with you. Constantly interrupting you. Acts like he's an all knowing God since he won't listen to what you have to say about what's going on with you. I recommend finding another doctor. Saymeh won't have time for you

Dr Saymeh is such a caring doctor. He has been there for my Dad who is 90 and recently had his esphagus stretched. I would highly recommend Dr Saymeh - his staff is also very professional.

Wanda (for my Dad Jim Devane) – Dec 11, 2020

I Was sent to him, and initially excited with his pedigree and apparent knowledge, Boy would I be disappointed. After being his patient for several years and several inpatient experience and one bowel resection I quickly realized he either didn’t understand my disease process or just didn’t care about his patients. Unfortunately the later was confirmed when I was referred to Emory Health as newly diagnosed with my disease even though I’d had over 100 hospitalizations and had two surgeries as well as receiving every medication on the market, some with horrid side effects that ruined my life and my career. Then his office wouldn’t even send any medical records to Emory Healthcare to help me out. I had to chase down all my other records through primary care and hospitals I had been admitted to. If you have an advanced disease Don’t go here and don’t be comforted by the plaques in his office stating he was a top 100 physician. That doesn’t mean what you think it does.

Over charges your insurance, then over charges you. If you refuse, or can't pay your balance, he will not see you. Even when you do pay, he only spends 5 minutes with you. He's ALL about the money because he has to pay for his $800K house. Terrible bedside manners. Don't trust his office manager.
