Dr. Synowiec is wonderful. I have a [...], which is very difficult to diagnose - I've gone from one doctor to the next over the past four months, seeking care. Dr. Synowiec is one of the best I've seen. At no point did she talk down to me or assume I wouldn't understand the medical prognosis / mechanisms she was describing. She spent a good portion of time discussing my condition, talking through the diagnosis and treatment options, and providing emotional comfort as well. "I think you know you're healing, but you're terrified of being hopeful since you've been suffering for so long." This is something she said and it was one of the most comforting things I've heard since I became unwell. It was so emotionally insightful and uplifting. She actually gave me a hug as I was leaving the office. Five out of five stars - what a wonderful doctor.
