I am taking this survey on behalf of my mother, *NAME*, who was seen as a new patient with Dr. Sydney last week. Both my husband *NAME* and myself are patients of Dr. Sydney. I personally had never been to the Catonsville office. I found it to be very nice and the staff, friendly. My mother (and I) was very happy and comfortable with Dr. Sydney and his "plan" for her painful knee. I will say that she was unable to do the technology sign in process. I needed to complete it for her. I hope that members of the staff are willing to take care of this for patients who are unable to do so on their own.
