A superb doctor!
September 22, 2021Russell W.Verified patient
There seems to be a discrepancy between the doctor's availability reported on Zocdoc, since the office rescheduled my appointment twice, even though I was taking apparently available appointment times.

Very calm, reasonable, and respectful.
July 19, 2021Priscilla N.Verified patient
Dr Sheikh was pleasant and communicated very well. I was really irritated by the time I was finally seen by Dr Sheikh. I had already waited 45 mins in the waiting room and an addition 15 minutes in the Dr's consultation room. My appt was 3:15pm I didnt get seen until 4:15pm. "other than that" I didn't like Dr Sheikh.
June 21, 2021Janet O.Verified patient
I honestly have been looking for a PCP for a long time. I trust Dr. Sheikh with my health issues and whatnot and I’m thankful. It took a minute to warm up to him (2 appointments min.) but I’m glad I followed through! I haven’t felt comfortable to stick with a specific doctor since my pediatrician - so that should say something.
(Especially as a young woman of color who feels most comfortable with other women of color).

Pleasant, on tim

I had to call the office to get an appointment. The one that I booked in ZocDoc was not actually accepted by the office. The doctor's phone system has long instructions and hold times, which is why I wanted to use ZocDoc in the first place. The office visit went well. Dr Sheikh is great. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.
February 16, 2021Jennifer C.Verified patient
The wait once in the exam room was too long, in the room alone for more than 25 minutes. Need to keep the patient informed if there is a reason for the delay. I had a 10AM appointment and the dr. arrived at 10:45AM.

The office waited until my appt time to state that the doctor wasn’t at that location. Couldn’t be seen of course. Waste of my time.

He was amazing. He addressed my sons “issues”. He listened, payed careful attention to both of our concerns. In today’s “health care” environment he was a Welcome change. I would highly recommend!
August 12, 2019Constance K.Verified patient
This was an excellent first appointment. Dr. Sheikh was very personable, easy to talk to, fully attentive and caring. I am confident that he understands my medical issues and can be my primary care doctor for years to come,.
July 22, 2019David G.Verified patient
I thought it went well. The front desk staff was quite pleasant and Dr. Sheikh was personable as well. I'll have to visit a few more times to give a more accurate review, but for now, all went well.
April 15, 2019Sandra J.Verified patient
I saw a Dr. Brownsworth who was very pleasant and informative. Although he didn’t introduce himself at all - I was only aware of who had treated me from the paperwork I was given. The overall wait time was very long, with no real explanations or updates by the staff. The surgery could do with improving their interpersonal skills between staff and patient and remembering that the patient doesn’t work there, but is there out of necessity and at great expense.
February 1, 2019Maria J.Verified patient

I filled in my necessary forms as I was a new patient having moved back to Maryland from Massachusetts. Everyone was very nice and efficient and I never felt rushed. I had a 3:30 and was out by 4:30.
Not bad at all.
