Thanks so much, Dr Shamsi for taking me while I was finishing another nearby appointment, so very considerate. I am thrilled that you joined the bariatric team at Elmhurst because you are the go-to guy. I know I can ask you anything that I might need to know about nutrition or surgery because you are knowledgeable about it all...besides that you are one of the nicest doctors I know. Thanks again.

I thoroughly enjoy my appointments with Dr Shamsi! I've been a diabetic for over 20 years and tried losing weight for over a year. He was the only one that was able to explain why I couldn't lose weight while on insulin. I'm now down almost 30 lbs, almost off my 60 units of insulin and in the best shape of my life!!! Dr Shamsi is knowledgable and doesn't just try to medicate my condition, he helped me change it by helping to change me!!!

The office was difficult to find inside the hospital but once inside I was impressed with Sam at the front desk who was very kind and very professional. The clinical staff member (sorry I can not remember her name) was sweet and funny and very good at her job. As for Dr. Shamsi, I cannot say enough about what a caring, non-judgmental professional he is. I felt elated when I left the office, like I had a new life plan.
