“I’ve worked with Legacy Care for more than seven years. The flexibility of creating my own schedule gives me the freedom to do what I enjoy with my personal time. Most importantly, I am able to build a schedule that allows me to spend the right amount of time with patients and their families, depending on their individual needs. This helps me build much more personal attachments with patients. If someone needs 30 minutes, or even two hours, my flexible schedule allows for that. I also like how my role here gives me a much broader access to working within many communities.“ Syed Rehman MD
