Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Dr. Maria Viqar-Syed receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from her patients, with the vast majority giving her perfect or near-perfect ratings. Patients consistently praise her as professional, knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. She is frequently commended for taking time to listen carefully to patient concerns, explaining medical information thoroughly in understandable terms, and never rushing appointments despite being busy. Many patients highlight her warm, friendly demeanor and excellent bedside manner, noting that she treats them like family rather than just a number. Patients express complete trust in her abilities, with numerous reviews mentioning they would never consider seeing another cardiologist. Her expertise in procedures like ablations and pacemaker management is specifically praised, with several patients crediting her with saving their lives. The loyalty she inspires is evident, as multiple patients report referring family members and friends to her practice.
Patients also share
The primary area for improvement centers on wait times and appointment pacing. A few patients reported waiting over 45 minutes to be seen, with one noting the doctor then spent less than 10 minutes with them. Several reviews mention concerns about Dr. Viqar-Syed appearing rushed or hurried during appointments, with one new patient feeling she kept looking at her watch as an indication their time was up. A couple of patients described her as not being particularly conversational or pleasant, though they acknowledged her intelligence and competence. One patient felt she seemed unsure about what questions to ask regarding their health. These concerns appear to be isolated incidents, as the overwhelming majority of reviews praise her for taking adequate time and not rushing, but they represent areas where some patients felt the experience could be improved.
