Dr. Sikder is simply my most favorite physician amongst the myriad with whom I encounter as an aging diabetic. She has a voluminous and comprehensive knowledge of her field (as one would expect of any Hopkins physician). Dr. Sikder is wicked smart, to coin a phrase, yet she wields her knowledge with remarkable common sense, resulting in assessments and advice in which I place the highest confidence. Dr. [ ] and Dr. Sikder have worked together assiduously to.curtail the degradation in my vision and I am most grateful to be in their care.
