Very professional

Dr. Sykes was exceptional in his ability to communicate clearly about my concerns. He is unrushed, caring and personable, yet also quick and efficient.

Dr. David is very respectful and a good listener. Supportive. He reassured me about my problem, and he promised to follow up on my condition in the future.

Dr. David Sykes is the best of the best. So is the Fellow who worked with him. Dr. Sykes really put my mind at ease. I really learned a lot and I feel like we have a plan. I cannot thank him enough.

I am very lucky to have found this provider

The care at the hospital and the medical staff were excellent. Everything was excellent. Thank you very much.

This doctor had more information about my past history, my blood test that had been done just hours before, and it was overall a 10 appointment.

Dr. Sykes is the best doctor I have ever had. When I had 2 surgical procedures between visits, he reached out to each surgeon to ensure they understood my Hematology history. He asks for my input and he listens and cares. He's the best!

Dr. Sykes is the best! God's gift to his profession! Truly! I can't say enough good things about him!

Dr. Sykes is phenomenal. He clarified my misunderstandings about my condition and made sure that I had accurate information. One thing I really appreciate is that he took the time to write down my medical dx and his penmanship is legible. He said if I had any other questions after I leave I can contact him. He escorted me out of the office to the lab. I had assumed that I would need to go to the Wang building for bloodwork. I also had a standing order for bloodwork from another MD, and he graciously agreed it to his bloodwork.

Everyone was very kind, pleasant, and informative.

I really appreciate his kndness and dedication to my care.

Excellent, very kind

Always have a great experience great doctor listen and explain any concern I may have

Dr.Sykes was very informative

Professional, understanding, interested in all prior issues and information provided via the portal before my appointment.

Dr Sykes is the best, his bedside manner is what doctors should aspire to

Dr. Sykes was very thorough learning my history. He explored many avenues related to my medical condition and the referral to him. We addressed next steps and he will be following up with me when all results are available after my upcoming surgery. This consultation was requested by my surgeon for Dr. Sykes input. I know he has personally spoken to my surgeron as well regarding the referral and results. All of the staff was friendly, accommodating, and professional during my visit and performing all the tests I needed while in the office.

Dr Sykes is the best!!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Sykes. He was excellent and he has been excellent.

Dr. Sykes is very, very knowledgeable. He pays attention to you. He gives his time. He asks you questions. He is excellent. Thank you very much for the opportunity. Thank you.

I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Sykes. This was an initial visit to discuss labs he had ordered and to discuss my recent history of symptoms which began just over a year ago, and the possibility of blood disorders that two of my siblings have been diagnosed with. Dr. Sykes explained in detail, the results of the bloodwork he had ordered and though he was reassuring that my results were relatively good, he asked so many questions and truly listened to me. With the information we exchanged in this one office visit, he provided me with more optimism than I've had in many months. He offered a few other possibilities for the symptoms I am experiencing [redacted] I am so grateful for having met Dr. Sykes. I feel confident in his expertise and yet his kindness and compassion is unsurpassed. [redacted]

Dr. Sykes is a caring doctor. He is very interested in my care and he is making sure to look at every piece of my medical puzzle; to keep me in a good range and help me improve. He is an amazing doctor and shows such passion and interest in me. There is no one better.

Excellent doctor

Dr Sykes is a warm caring physician and a credit to his specialty and to mass general

As all my questions answered for me, I thought he was a very thoughtful provider and he was extremely well prepared for being given over my record in great detail and really thought about it. I would give women A+, I couldn't imagine a better provider

He is the best.....continues to encourage questions and updates me on any new modalities, medications and research progress pertaining to my diagnosis. My doctor always reiterates the important of communicating any concerns/questions that I have about my progress.

Dr Sykes is the most thoughtful, engaged, caring and knowledgeable provider. I am truly grateful to be under his care and trust his expertise in my autoimmune disease. I wish all medical professionals were as dedicated and professional. Thank you!!!

Yes, Dr. Sykes was very thorough, compassionate. He listened to all the complexities of my situation. He gave good thorough responses. I was very comfortable with his treatment. I would definitely recommend him to anybody.

My family and I would like to greatly express our thanks to Dr. Sykes. We think he's fantastic. With my current medical conditions, I've seen many doctors over the years, some of the best right here at Mass General and the Brigham as well. And Dr. Sykes is amongst the top of the top. He is fantastic. And my current disease is a very challenging one. He's helped us to learn so much over this last year and really get the help that we need to improve my treatment, prolong my life. And my family and I are extremely grateful for having doctors like him. I can't say enough good things about him.

Provider a scholar and a gentleman MA could improve patient interaction skills

Dr. Skyes explained my condition in a way no other provider has done. I left the office feeling more confident in the management of my condition and more positive regarding the outcome.

The provider was very nice and talked to me everything.

This was our first visit to the office and it was a wonderful visit. The provider explained my condition in a way I could have understand. He was very patient and answered all out questions. I am so happy we decided on Mass General for care.

Extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful

My visit was very satisfactory, excellent care from Dr. Sykes. I was happy to have his professional care.

The whole team is amazing, compassionate and helpful.

Knowledgeable, thorough, and very accommodating assisting me with arranging my ongoing treatment schedule at Cape Cod Hospital after having my first treatment completed at the MGH Transfusion Services unit.

Dr. Sykes was so caring, knowledgeable, and patient during our visit. Even though it was a virtual consult, he was very compassionate and an excellent listener. He addressed every single one of my concerns and explained things in a way that made sense to a layperson. A truly great doctor!

Dr Sykes has the best temperament and has always put me at ease-which is remarkable when you walk into the Cancer center initially. He is very adroit at relating the specific tests and what they represent and how they factor into your overall health. You almost forget he is as accomplished as he is. No agenda, except relating to you why you are there and what he is watching and why. He is certainly someone who enjoys talking to people which isn't always the case with specialists. MGH couldn't have done better with anyone else.

I was delighted with the medical care I received from Dr. Sykes. I couldn't have felt in better hands. Many thanks to him and his wonderful personality.

He was, to the point, he asked me a lot of questions, he came up with 2 or 3 treatment plan and was meticulous with each plan.

He had an open and friendly manner and answered all my questions clearly. I never felt rushed, and he was prompt in providing a report with precisely the type of information I needed;for this consult.

He is a good listener and explainer. He spoke to me like I was intelligent and could understand. I left with a clear understanding about my diagnosis.

Great provider [redacted}

Dr. Sykes is simply the best in every respect. I am so fortunate to be his patient. Thank you, Dr. Sykes!

Dr. Sykes explained everything clearly, being sure that I understood what he was saying. He followed up with a message through the portal and a telephone call telling me to modify the medication. I am glad to continue as his patient.

This provider was incredible. Knowledgeable, respectful, great communication, listened to what I had to say. Explained in laymen terms. There is nothing but extreme positives with Dr Sykes

Dealing with Dr. Sykes is such a pleasure. He is kind considerate listens to you and is always right there on the ball. There is no time lapse or anything. He takes care of you immediately and always. We need 100,000 more docs like him and the world would be a better place. Thank you.

It was very comfortable and an overall enjoyable visit

We were completely understood about My father's illness. And future plan of his medication and all which give us big relief. We are really grateful

Excellent!!!

Very professional, yet personable team in this department. Working with any of the staff at MGH Boston or Waltham has been a pleasant experience, considering other medical centers.

Dr. Sykes was excellent. He was thoughtful, explained everything clearly, and I wish all providers were as good as he.

Excellent

It was terrifi and I learned a great deal from Provider and the Fellow!

Very good experience with Dr. Sykes. It was sort of a consultative visit re: low red blood cell count, a one off type visit. One of the residents working with him reviewed history etc. initially and then briefed Dr. He explained situation in a very concise manner using a sheet of paper to outline what's going on, options to treat etc. It was most helpful. Very engaging Dr. and Dr. visit. Left there with a much better understanding of the condition and a follow up visit with blood work is scheduled.

I want to thank you for the professional and humane attention you gave me. May God bless you always for being so attentive to my needs, and for making me feel like a family.

The experience was wonderful from the start. The staff was friendly and professional. Always a pleasure in this office.

Dr.Sykes was great. He explained all of my blood readings in a manner that I easily understood. He answered my questions explaining everything in a manner that I completely understood.

all good

This was my first visit with Dr. Sykes and I am very pleased.

Dr. Sykes is an extremely caring doctor. He explains things well. He keeps me informed. And I like him a lot. Thank you.

Excellent

Dr. Sykes is the best there is. He knows every aspect of my health and cares about how various health issues may impact each other. Dr. Sykes is my go-to doctor when I need help and he's always there. I can't thank him enough for all he does. Thank you!

I couldn't be in the hands of anyone more confident or compassionate than Dr. Sykes.

That was the first time I met the doctor. I was very pleased to find him such a pleasure.

Great experience!

very thorough, precise, and professional.

Dr Sykes is excellent in every way.

great provider.

Dr Sykes is friendly and takes the time to explain everything.

Excellent! I wish all the doctors could be as professional, knowledgeable, charismatic , and able to take the time to explain the subject as dr. Sykes does. Thank you so much

Dr. Sykes was very attentive and listened to everything I had to say, was very clear in his explanations, and very helpful in helping me figure out what was the best course of action for my medical care. I highly recommend him.

I was very impressed with Dr. Sykes, his assistant, and all the people who helped me at Mass General Hospital when I had my visit. The first visit was Dr. Sykes and his staff. Everything went very smoothly. He was very professional, answered my questions, was very straightforward with me. I am extremely pleased with Dr. Sykes and all the people at Mass General Hospital.

The doctor was knowledgeable, friendly and optimistic. He looked at papers I brought, drew out explanations and did not rush the appointment.

Dr. Sykes was very good at explaining the issues and once we looked at previous records he was very clear that there was no issue to be addressed which was a relief.

He made me feel comfortable and confident about my treatment plan.

Pretty good experience overall. He was very nice

Thr doctor was pleasant, informative and caring. Everyone in the office were kind, and efficient.

Dr. Sykes was terrific. He explained things very clearly and succinctly. He made sure that I understood the issues raised by certain elevated levels from my blood workup. I thought he was extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. He inspires confidence. My only issue is that he didn't think the levels were significantly high enough to require follow-up. In that case, I would have preferred getting a call from his office confirming that no further action was necessary at this time rather than having to wait 2 months for an appointment where he tells me that there is nothing further that needs to be done. That is not a reflection on Dr. Sykes who again was fantastic; it's more a commentary on the medical profession and cost reimbursement.

I'm very grateful for having had the chance to spend time with Dr. Sykes. He was very welcoming, very personable, very focused, very warm, listened, shared some thoughts even as he was going through the formulation of a plan and next steps. It was really wonderful. It instilled a lot of confidence and it was even enjoyable. I can't say enough good things about my experience.

I had an urgent referral and was seen by Dr. David Sykes at MGH Hematology/Oncology for the first time on [redacted]. From the moment I walked in, it was clear he had already reviewed my labs and was completely prepared to dive into the details. What stood out most was how collaborative and thorough he was. Dr. Sykes walked me through everything step by step explaining what he saw, what the possibilities might be, and what next steps we could take. He made sure I understood them, gave his honest input, and truly included me in the decision-making process. It never felt rushed or one-sided. He even wrote everything down as we spoke so I could visually follow along, which made a huge difference in understanding medical information. And the best part was he personally called me after my labs to let me know the results were good. I've never had a doctor take that kind of initiative before.

Thoroughly answered all of my questions and concerns succinctly while enlightening me regarding test results.

He answered all the questions that I needed to be answered and my concerns and where we needed to move forward in my health care.

Dr. Sykes was great, starting from the friendly way he introduced himself to his relaxed manner, the way he made sure he was informed about my relevant history, gave me feedback about my condition, listened to my questions and comments, explained options for treatment, and gave me opportunity to participate in decision about next steps. I never felt rushed. I felt truly respected as a person and a patient.

After reviewing my medical history and blood test results, Dr. Sykes gave me a clear explanation of my iron deficiency anemia and treatment options. He recommended an iron infusion as the most effective option and gave an encouraging outlook for resolving the disorder.

Everything went well

Dr. Sykes is very thorough and I like his demeanor.

Very helpful and took time to answer all my questions.

My experience with Dr. Sykes was very pleasant. He explained everything to me, told me where we would be going with this, gave me some prescriptions and medication, and I intend to see him on [redacted], and I thought he was wonderful.
