Meet the Doctor

Dr. Syed Azmi specializes in oncology and sees patients in Mississippi.

What can a patient expect when they have you as a doctor?

Honest, caring and thoughtful care.

What is the most important factor in a doctor patient relationship and why?

Trust is the most important factor in a doctor-patient relationship especially in my field of oncology. Without trust in your physician and treatment, nothing else is going to impact your health.

What hobbies or activities do you enjoy when you're not working?

I enjoy playing squash, playing with my son Zach, and watching TV ( big fan of Big Bang Theory.)

What about your line of work do you find the most rewarding?

The best part of my job is the close interpersonal relationship that I develop with my patients. I find it very rewarding to help people through their time of need.
