ROCKVILLE, Md. (Feb. 7, 2023) Collingswood Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Rockville has appointed Truong Bao, MD, CMD, as medical director and Sayed Elsayyad, MD, as subacute medical director. The announcement of these two key clinical leadership appointments follows the recent completion of a $7 million modernization at the 160-bed skilled nursing facility, which provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care.   

Dr. Bao and Dr. Elsayyad each possess deep experience in geriatric medicine. The board-certified physicians are affiliated with Montgomery Medical Associates, PC, where Dr. Bao serves as its chairman of the board and Dr. Elsayyad as partner and chief medical officer.
