Dr. Shahwar Syed (Internal Medicine) and Syed Asghar (Internal Medicine) are proud to serve the community by practicing at Crystal Lake & Elgin since 1986. They are a married couple and are raising three children together in the area. They sincerely strive to serve  the community, following the motto “Let our family help your family.” 

Both doctors firmly believe that in order to get to know patients better, they must listen carefully and not rush them while they are in the office. Each patient is considered a non-listed patient and will be present for the duration of the appointment. They take seriously the trust and confidence they receive from their patients. 

 They are happy to discuss in detail the nature of any problem or disease that a patient may have, and any and all treatment options available, in full view of their own medical history. It is important to them that the patient makes an informed and mutual decision about their own health care. The patient is always a partner in decision making, and their own wishes are respected and taken into consideration. In their experience, they have observed that a satisfied and well-informed patient is more likely to be compliant with the suggested medical regimen and more often meet follow up appointments for continuation of care. 

  Along with treating patients with medicines and pharmaceuticals, emphasis is given to promote a healthy lifestyle as an important part of adequate care and health.
