Dr Shaikh was very helpful. To better understand how to help me we had a communication session first. She listened to all my concerns and asked specific questions. We ended with a strategy moving forward. I am hopeful that she will be able to get me back on track!

May 7, 2025danielle L.Verified patient
My second experience here, about 10 months apart, and just like the first time I'm extremely impressed with the professional expertise and personableness of Dr. Shaikh and all the staff. She quickly diagnosed my very specific acute problem that I was anxious about, and efficiently led the team in employing multiple therapeutic techniques that had me feeling much better as I left my first session, and confident that I would be in good hands on my way to full recovery.

The doctor was both empathetic and direct, a very clear and kind communicator. Everyone in the office is knowledgeable and thorough. I went from having fairly frequent knee pain to helping a friend move without any issue within a few months! They are also very understanding about scheduling. Highly recommend!
