Sitting at the bedside of a patient and providing care has always captured my interest. | Community involvement | In transplant medicine and cancer care, community outreach and education are central aspects of daily life. It is a specialty that is always evolving and advancing at a rapid pace. Throughout my career, I have made it a mission to reach out and share such advances with the community around me. This can happen through community events and by partnering with local charities and nonprofits. | Personal interests | I enjoy traveling, seeing new places and skiing.

    "Philosophy of care | My philosophy took root on graduation day the moment I recited the Hippocratic oath, and I continue striving to embody its principles in my practice. Through my experiences, particularly in caring for ill family members and navigating my own health challenges, I have come to believe compassionate care is paramount. In times when answers are elusive and treatments fail, empathy and understanding provide the greatest comfort, guiding us to truly support those in our care. | Why I entered medicine | I often say ""medicine chose me"" or ""transplant chose me."" While my passion for making a meaningful difference in patients' lives has always been a driving force, there has also been a sense of serendipity – an almost guiding hand leading me to this calling. | Community involvement | Community and charity involvement in transplant care are essential for raising awareness and providing support. I have spearheaded living donor workshops, delivered presentations for national kidney meetings and served on the organ procurement board and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee at the American Society of Transplant Surgeons. These initiatives help educate patients about organ donation, alleviate financial burdens and foster a supportive community, ensuring more individuals can access the care they need and helping align our professional community with our patient’s needs. | Personal interests | My personal interests include soccer, with a particular passion for Liverpool FC. I have a deep appreciation for artistry and poetry, and one of my favorites is ""If"" – a poem by Kipling that resonates with me, especially after becoming a father. I've even published some poetry of my own. Music also plays a significant role in my life; I enjoy all genres. Additionally, I love exploring new places and traveling, as I believe experiences shape us the most.". Dr. Reyad is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in Kidney Transplant.

    When should I see a Kidney Transplant doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Kidney Transplant doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Kidney Transplant doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Kidney Transplant doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Kidney Transplant doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Kidney Transplant doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Kidney Transplant doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Kidney Transplant doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Kidney Transplant doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Kidney Transplant doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Kidney Transplant doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Kidney Transplant doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Kidney Transplant doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Kidney Transplant doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
