August 29, 2019Elaine S.Verified patient
The wait time in this office is ridiculous. You have an appointment for 2 and you get seen after 4pm. Had to get physical therapy for my shoulder and went all the way to their therapy office for them to tell me that the doctor wrote the prescription for my neck and not my shoulder (on all the paperwork I put my shoulder). I called them several times to fix it and they said they would call me back and never did. Now I’m in pain, and having to find another doctor to see. Will NOT be returning to this office.

Very efficient office. Office very knowledgeable & helpful to new patients. Dr Sheikh is amazing. Great bedside manner & excels in his care.
October 27, 2016Ivette N.Verified patient
This place is awful, we waited over 2 hours for the first visit then almost 2 hours for the follow up which was at 745am and we were assured we wouldn't wait because of how early it was. And if you ask the secretaries up front what is taking so long they get rude with you. Don't waste your time at this over booked sweatshop
May 2, 2016Ariaides B.Verified patient
Dr Sheikh was very knowledgeable and informative. Asked me several times if I had questions and seemed to genuinely care about my well being. He is no nonsense and direct and to the point and that I think is a great quality you want in a doctor.

Dr. Sheikh is a very good doctor , he took his time to explain everything , answered all our questions . despite having a full schedule he did not seem to be in the rush. I would recommend him highly.

Excellent doctor. Wish he was not in such a hurry and took his time to explain details. Had to stop him and ask questions. His insight and advice were invaluable.

I can't really give much of a review because I wasn't in much pain and I already knew I had a herniated disc going in. However, I do feel like he was a bit brusque. He basically told me everything my chiropractor had told me only not as nicely. I kind of wish I had found someone else but I'll be sticking with him since my insurance takes him and I already paid for an X-ray there.

Very satisfied with the Doctor as well as with the office staff.

I made my appointment thru ZocDoc and also fill out some require information that according to you was send to the Doctors office. Then when I arrived had to fill the information again. What is the advantage?

First time here. Had to wait just over an hour before I was taken out of waiting area, after that things went quickly. Dr. Sheikh was awesome. Took plenty of time to explain what the problem is and was very nice to. I would highly recommend him.
October 3, 2014Lou P.Verified patient
Dr. Sheikh is extremely knowledgeable. He answered my questions without hesitation and explained his diagnosis and prognosis. I was able to comfortably ask him questions as he talked and he didn't mind stopping to explain. He does speak rapidly, but will slow down when asked to. I am confident and very satisfied that I received excellent care.

Just one thing about Zocdoc:
I filled the online form 2 days before the appointment, and when I was there, the secretary could not find it.
I had to do it twice and I had to wait a very long time (more than an hour) to finally see the doctor (which was really excellent).
January 3, 2014Corinne P.Verified patient
He gave it to me straight and I liked that about him. Gives as close to perfect responses as i have ever had.
Was an excellent choice by me
