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.

I went for my first appoint before my Colonospy. I noticed how organized and professional everyone was. Everyone was so friendly and eve whe something didnt look right to the Nurse Practicioner she never let on she just listened to me and schedule me for a follow up. I appreciated her not imposing any unnecessary worry. When I went for my procedure I met the doctor for the first time. He was so personable, so friendly and made me feel comfortable. I feel like his personally is represented throughout his office. Everyone seemed happy to work there.

PATIENT BEWARE: If you schedule a procedure with Dr. Shakoor, he may be in-network, however his facility and anesthesiologist probably aren't. They state they tell you this prior to your procedure, but I wasn't told until after when I questioned the bill. They also only provide general information to your insurance company during pre-certification, and you will have surprise charges after the procedure and tell you that you are ultimately responsible for understanding your own insurance.

He saved my life...Dr. Shakoor is annoyingly thorough. I went to him for a routine colonoscopy and couldn't finish the prep cleansing. Dr. Shakoor said he wanted me to come back when I could do the entire process successfully. He gave me some anti nausea meds and I was able to complete the prep the second time. During the colonoscopy he noticed a slight discoloration and biopsied it. It turned out he'd discovered appendiceal cancer at an early enough stage to be treatable. He's my hero.
