Dr. Abdullah Shaikh, MD

Dr. Shaikh & Dr. Klobuka at AGH were the only 2 doctors to take me seriously. After being ignored for nearly 2 years by various medical professionals who told me I had to 'learn to live with my new limitations' & 'there's permanent damage from blood clots that will never improve,' they took an interest in my case when I ended up in the ER & saw my scans. Not only did they diagnose me, but they worked tirelessly to research new methods to tackle my chronic clotting that was made worse after all that time untreated. Not to mention, conscious sedation procedures can be tricky for both doctors and patients. They have always been unbelievably kind, comforting, and patient the many times I've been on their table. I've never had any doctor that is so invested in the best interest of their patients & goes out of their way to advocate on their behalf. I wholeheartedly trust both of them and consider them the elite of the elite. I recommend them to anyone struggling with acute or chronic clots.

Took the time to answer and respond to my questions and concerns. Was reassuring providing peer reviewed research information and included links in his notes for me to do my own investigation of the procedures he uses to treat his patients.

He took the time to sit down and explain the procedure very well. He kept me at ease, and is very skilled.
