“Super nice. Good rapport with my kiddo. Patient and didn't rush us. Had clear next steps for us. Also, brought us back right away and barely any wait once in the exam room which is so rare. Solid!”

I am so glad to find Dr. Asim in ZocDoc, he is a very friendly doctor, listening my son and me, explained our concern, and giving suggestion. Dr. Asim didn't rush us to go, he listened every single details from my son and me. We feel very respectful and feel his concern about my son's situation. Dr. Asim assistant, Sara (if I remember correctly) is a very nice person as well. I would said it was a very pleasant visit.

It was an extremely pleasant experience with the doctor! He thoroughly explained everything and provided a detailed care plan to follow along with next tests/exams to do for my son.
November 6, 2024Deepa B.Verified patient
The doctor was amazing!! Very thorough, clear communicator, and super empathetic. He made sure my husband and I’s concerns were met. He is very knowledgeable and honest. He didn’t push unnecessary testing and gave his professional and honest opinion, with our daughter’s best interest in mind. We are very pleased with this experience and walked out with so much reassurance. He is an example of how all doctors should be, especially when dealing with the pediatric population! You can tell his passion and care to make sure our daughter felt comfortable as well. Highly recommend!

Dr. Shahid is one of the nicest doctors I have ever met. Superb bedside manner, always smiling and joked around a lot with my little girl. He was very patient answering all of my questions as a concerned parent. The above, together with his obvious expertise in his field, ZERO wait time and the friendly nurse Chaya - makes him a great doctor who should be your first choice for pediatric neurology.
