Terrible customer service. All they care about is churning through people to get their precious co-pays.

She was the worst psychiatrist I have ever seen and should be barred from practicing medicine.

Patient and non-judgemental. Made me feel very comfortable.
January 28, 2015Initials hidden
too early to tell...only spoke with her for 15 minutes
July 10, 2012Initials hidden
She was extremely rude and abrasive. Filled out a dozen pieces of paper before my visit she obviously did not read ahead of time.
I am not just saying any of this because she refused to fill medication my retired doctor prescribed. It was her tone and interaction.
She would ask questions, attempted to answer then she would stop me and ask me the same question. Told her I did not have any other way to explain it other than what I just said she interrupted me on before I could finish a sentence.

January 9, 2018Nikki B.Verified patient
She said she didn't feel comfortable seeing me because of the medicine I was taking. I wasted gas and money to see her. Thanks for literally nothing. And the staff is rude.

She sucks
April 24, 2017Initials hidden
She is one of those types of docs you need to not judge too quickly. She comes across rather abrupt at first, but I am glad I continued to see her. She is very professional and business-like, but she is a good listener and is very sympathetic when appropriate. She even hugged me on one visit as I was leaving, saying she was sorry I had to be going through such a difficult time. She seems to know her stuff as far as meds go. Overall a good, helpful experience.

I get to the office and get seen right away.

She is amazing!
November 4, 2015Initials hidden
She immediately acuused me of being addicted to my anti-anxiety medication which I hadn't taken in over 3 months. I told her my normal dosage which is FAR lower than the maximum and she looked at me like a drug addict. Besides, she's not a very happy person so why would I want her to treat me?
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Don't go see this doctor, she was not any help to me. She lies about anything. I guess she is afraid of losing her green card or visa!
Don't waste your time or effort.
June 15, 2015Initials hidden
I'm starting to really like her
July 4, 2015Initials hidden
I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Rubina Shakil. Working in a doctors office myself, I understand how important it is to have a doctor that is not only very knowledgable and informative about your condition, but is also genuinely concerned about your well-being. I definitely recommend her!
June 25, 2015Initials hidden
she required money up front in addition to my co pay, then canceled my medication when I couldn't not afford to see her on a weekly basis...very interested in making money not so much caring for the needs of the client.....
June 5, 2015Initials hidden
very professional
June 4, 2015Initials hidden
Very helpful. She was pleasant, professional, asked pertinent questions, and listened well. She made definite recommendations and I will continue to see her.
April 1, 2015Initials hidden
I only waited about 10minutes for my appointment. Shockingly though, she saw 2 other patients during that time. On my first visit I think she spent about 10minutes with me and she stared at a computer screen the whole time. Second appointment lasted maybe 5 minutes and she didn't like what I had to say so she basically yelled at me. Horrible demeanor, horrible attitude. Won't be back.

Great doctor

Dr Shakil was very warm and compassionate. I felt she was easy to relate to and asked the right questions to determine next steps.
I would highly recommend her services.

Dr. Shakil is very professional yet made me immediately feel at ease. She seemed genuinely interested and concerned with and explained her findings thoroughly. I am completely satisfied and feel better already.
June 25, 2014Initials hidden
Dr. Shakil is a nice person. However, make sure if it's your first visit or you have not visit her for longer than 6 month to book a 45 minutes appointment. Her staff is not great at caching this kind of stuff. I had a really bad experience; however Dr. Shakil was kind enough to make accommodate me.
