Saeed received his M.D. from the Shiraz Medical School in Iran, subsequently completing residencies in both pediatrics and radiology and earning a Fellowship in ultrasonagraphy.
Known as the "city of poets, wine and flowers," Shiraz - after which the wine grape is named - is famous as the home of the Persepolis. Saeed left Iran in 1995 to move to Chicago, then to Scottsdale. In 1998 he did his residency at the Maricopa Medical Center, graduating in 2001 and taking his Board in internal medicine. He completed a Fellowship in geriatric medicine at Sun Health/St. Joseph's in 2002, and started a Skilled Nursing facility. In 2002, Saeed also joined the Maricopa Integrated Health Service as a Teacher Attending, a position he held until coming to MyDoctor in early 2009.
Saeed jokes that as a pediatrician, internist and geriatrician he covers the gamut of life. He likes the MyDoctor one-to-one patient-doctor approach that allows both parties to get to know each other. Here, he says, "patients can easily access their doctors. They don't have to explain the same thing over and over to different doctors, and we have good control over our practice. It makes it easier to pick up atypical presentations of a disease."
Saeed lives with his wife, a pharmacist, in Scottsdale, where he enjoys biking, swimming, hiking in the close-by nature and world politics.
