"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 an Advanced provider by MediFind in Ureteroscopy. His top areas of expertise are Polycystic Kidney Disease, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection, Kidney Transplant, and Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney Transplant.
