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.

Don't ask questions!
I went to Dr. Shakir desperate and in need of answers. He seemed very understanding and friendly in the beginning. When my lab work came back and I questioned his protocol. Telling him that I wasn't comfortable and was hoping we could figure out a different approach, he fired me as a patient. I've never had this happen before. I was respectful. Advocating for myself and asking what else can we do was not okay. I'm hoping my experience is rare. I would hate to hear of doctor's doing this to their patients frequently!

Best ever
Dr. Shakir was prompt, understanding and asked questions and actually listened to answers. Dr Shakir had already reviewed the past history prior to patient contact. He explained clearly. Dr. Shakir set up testing immediately. I am very impressed. The best doctor that I have encountered in years.

I've been a patient of Dr. Shakir for several years. He is very friendly and very thorough in his explanations. He takes the time to make sure that I understand all of the options and allows for my input into treatment decisions. He is quick to respond to messages sent through the patient portal. He's also well-versed in the latest treatments and research for asthma. He was especially helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic in making sure that I had the documentation I needed for my employer and in answering my questions about how it could affect my health.

Dr. Shakir took the time to listen to my medical history. He then made a plan to coordinate care with other doctors and tests to make sure I get the right answers. Dr. Shakir is the best!

My son, now 6, went to Dr Shakir for peanut desensitization. Dr Shakir is great with kids. He takes the time to get to know his patients and understand their needs and desires and come up with a plan together. Desensitization is a little tough but he made it doable and got a good outcome for us. Today my son was given a peanut butter cookie at school and did not go into anaphylaxis! So thankful for Dr Shakir and his help getting through peanut desensitization!

One of the best physicians I’ve ever worked with. I have a complicated health history and he was truly a league above Dr Brownell who works there as well and had dismissed both me and my daughter when we had to go somewhere to find out she had bronchitis. Dr Shakir is amazing. He looks past your typical stuff. Highly recommend!

Dr. Shakir was able to diagnose my mast cell disorder and put me on medication that has worked and I have not had to use my Epi-pen or make any ER visits. I am thankful he took the time to figure out what was wrong.

I did not get a chance to meet Dr. Shakir due to the unprofessional, poor communicating front line staff who misrepresented our conversation to Dr. Shakir. Then stated that Dr. Shakir does not want to see my daughter as a patient. My daughter has been off of her medications for one week and the office called to cancel her appointment at the last minuet. They would not allow me to speak to the office manager. Of course I was dissatisfied, but if the frontline staff wasn't so argumentative

About Me

care philosophy

As an allergist/immunologist, I believe my role is to instruct and empower my patients to take control of their health. I believe better health comes from improved disease understanding. I have a minimalist philosophy regarding medications and aim to find solutions that solve the problem and not mask symptoms.
