Dr. Sayed is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Society of Hematology, and the American Medical Association.  During his time at NCI-designated Emily Couric Cancer Center at the University of Virginia, he was actively involved in teaching and mentoring medical students, residents, and fellows, while participating in clinical research and therapeutic clinical trials, with a particular focus on targeted cancer therapies.

Dr. Sayed has been recognized as a “Top Doctor” in Georgia by Castle Connolly annually from 2020 through 2026.  He is committed to providing patients with access to the latest advances in cancer care and strongly advocates for clinical trial participation when appropriate.  He also has a special interest in preventing and managing both the short and long-term side effects of cancer treatment, helping patients maintain the best possible quality of life throughout their care.

“During my high school years, my father was diagnosed with brain cancer.  Through his treatment journey, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that compassionate communication, expert medical care, and emotional support can have on patients and their families.  That experience inspired me to pursue a career in oncology.  I consider it a privilege to care for patients with cancer, to guide them through one of the most challenging periods of their lives, and to help make their journey as smooth and hopeful as possible.”
