I was referred for an endometrial biopsy consult. Dr agreed biopsy would be best. Offered to do it right away. I was apprehensive and so she recommended making another appointment so I could take pain medicine first. I appreciated that option. After I read about the procedure I very much appreciated that option. Still not happy about the procedure but if I had had it when I wasn't prepared I would have been very unhappy. It can be very painful. And I have had enough of that! I also thought the visit summary notes on the patient portal were accurate and detailed - which is not always the case.
Everyone was kind and understanding. I had never had surgery and it was a positive experience.
The doctor was kind and knowledgeable. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly and welcoming.
Personable professional manner, thoughtful long term relationship with Dr. Syal.
Front desk was pleasant, the fellow that called me back and Dr. Reetu was awesome!
Staff great, Dr. Syal is great.

She wouldn’t go alone so I accompanied her. Dr. Hartung spoke about “calico cats and genetics”. All I heard was that biology and genetics are awesome. The next day I changed my major to biology, finished in two years and went to the University of MN medical school. I met my husband in anatomy class. I went to a lecture about smoking in pregnancy, and it was at that moment I knew I wanted to take care of women, from the beginning of life to the end. After finishing residency here in the Twin Cities, I joined Partners OB-Gyn in 2003.
Why I Went Into This Field:
I love educating my patients. The human body is amazing and complicated, but very predictable, and it all makes sense. I cannot share my skills with patients, but I can share my knowledge with them and because of this most of my time is spent drawing pictures, educating, and explaining why things are happening. Patients make better decisions when they are educated.
The best part of my job is also the greatest honor: I am being invited into the lives of my patients, into their health, and into their unique stories. I cherish this part of my job. This is what drives me.
