Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Kind and smart
Can’t understand prior reviewer’s bad experience. In treating my mother’s metastatic cancer pain, he’s been so kind and compassionate and his treatment explanations have been clear and intelligent.

Worst bedside manner
During my treatment sessions, Dr. Shaikh had the worst bedside manner I've ever expericenced. I was overwhelmed and in tears and he seemed to have little regard for my emotional state. His nurse had the same mindset. The entire experience was incredibly humiliating and stressful. I would never recommend this physician to anyone. Ever.
