Dr. Faisel Syed is passionate about transforming primary care. He tells us that to increase access requires more than just taking on patients, it requires a change in mindset.
As the National Director of Primary Care at ChenMed, Faisel and his team are working on those changes every day.
From seeing patients at least monthly, to changing language from “walk in” to “patient in need, they’re practicing what they call “Transformative Primary Care,” starting with the most vulnerable population – underserved seniors.
Don’t miss this amazing interview to hear Faisel talk about how building trusted relationships between patients and doctors is one step to transforming the way healthcare is delivered.
