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.

A very bad experience
I wasted several months waiting. When I saw him, he only spent a few minutes pretending to do a simple examination, then said I didn’t have the disease that he treated and asked me to go paying for the expensive examination fee. In fact, he didn't do anything. This type of doctor has extremely poor character.

Dire diagnosis of ALS instead of refractory CIDP
Dr. Asked me at beginning if anyone had mentioned ALS. I said no. I really had not read about ALS. At end of exam he said he did not think he could treat me because He thinks I have ALS. Did not refer me to ALS specialist sent me back to normal neurologist. Dropped this bomb an me and sent me away with “have a wonderful day”. Sounds like he treats a lot of people successfully. Don’ t trust it if he gives you this dire diagnosis. Took 3 months to get to ALS clinic and have them confirm CIDP, 3 more months to get second line CIDP treatment. 6 months wasted. Don’t see this doctor for refractory CIDP and don’t trust any dire diagnosis. I have heard he has done this to other patients.

Myasthenia Gravis
I have been seeing Dr Shaibani for almost two years for Myasthenia Gravis. He has helped me tremendously in getting me back to a near normal life. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the help and care received so far.

I saw another neurologist who put me through numerous blood tests, MRI, biopsy and could not figure out what was wrong with me. I went to Dr. Shaibani and in 15 minutes he gave me a diagnosis. I did ONE blood test to confirm this. So great to know there are doctors who know what they are doing and can give results. Excellent!

I was not impressed at all. Horrible experience. He got angry at logical questions from me. He told my referring doctor that I was rude to him when in fact he was cocky and rude right off the bat. I only seen him twice and will never go back. He even lied on my records stating that I asked him to write my LTD insurance company a letter stating that I had ALS. I had other people with me on both visits that will testify that I did not. His EMG test showed NO ALS and he told me that I didn't have it. Now just over one year later, I was diagnosed with it. Save Your Money, Don't Waste it here.

Dr Shaibani has been my doctor for 3 years. I have Myasthenia Gravis and Dr Shaibani has made my life better than I thought it would be in this period. Within only a few months he had my symptoms under control and today I am almost back to 100% and he has monitored my case closely, advising what meds or preventive shots I can or cannot take. He is now reducing my treatment to get back to as close to normal as possible. He responds to my emails in a very timely manner.

This is a compassionate and caring physician who is obviously quite attentive in developing information and in communication with his patient as he develops his diagnosis of the patient’s problems and condition.

Dr Shaibani diagnosed my husband on his very first visit to Houston. He has a rare muscle disease (LEMS). Dr Shaibani has been on time with all his visits and the staff is alway so kind. He always takes time to answer any question we have about LEMS and the treatment. My husband had a concern on a weekend and he email to ask Dr Shaibani about it and he responded to his email within 20 minutes of him sending it. I think that type care is unheard of in the medical field. So thankful our Doctor

Dr Shaibani has been my doctor for almost 9 years. I have myasthenia Gravis and Dr Shaibani has made my life better than I thought it would be. He has worked my case closely with me ( keeping me in the loop ) making adjustments as needed. I have all the faith in the world in his ability to help now and in the future.

Horrible experience with this doctor when he did a muscle biopsy for me with no pain meds, sedation and no time for the numbing medicine to kick in. He is offended by people that feel pain and he takes it out on the patient. I recommend no one to see him, but consider yourself warned if you decide to. No bedside manner at all and the staff is just as bad as they would not document my pain complaints after the procedure.
