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 nice man, who listened carefully to all my medical needs. I was very satisfied.

They visit is always straightforward. Dr. Sheikh dosent sugar coat anything nor does he give you doom and gloom. Like Dragnet, the TV show, use to say, just the facts. . He is very personable and caring.

The best Doctor in Paris.
I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr Shiekh for over 30 years. He is our family doctor! Treats everyone in our family from 10 months to 87 years young. He listens and cares about each one of us and tries to help us stay healthy. Would not trust anyone else to care for us.

The Best Family Doctor
I remember going into the doctor’s office for the first time to establish care with Dr. Sheikh. I was pregnant at the time with my first child, and he told me that he would take my entire family when we were ready. He was named as our daughter’s pediatrician before she left the hospital. On her first visit, he told his scripter that he remembered me coming in several months ago and now she has brought me her family. He has been the best doctor that I could’ve ever imagined for our little one and they just adore each other. Dr. Sheikh goes above and beyond for us and we cannot thank him enough!!

Always a rush
I called the day prior to be seen for a migraine and was told they couldn't see me until the following day. I stated I also needed refills bc I had been out from the previous week where nobody called to tell me they were denied. At my appointment they said they were calling meds in to my pharmacy. The Dr. refused to treat my migraine bc he said that was too much medication. The ones being called in and being treated. Said go home and stay in a dark room. Well, my meds didn't get called in unilt 3 minutes prior to my pharmacy closing. So I had no meds, no treatment and had to wait another day.FYI.. I'm not prescribed any narcotic pain meds at all. I do take a sleep med and anxiety pill. Very disappointed, I've been doing this 30+ years and never...

Exceptional Doctor
I've heard of this doctor before but have never had the pleasure of meeting him, until now. He has a quiet, calming, professional demeanor. He is thorough and doesn't rush my visits. I like that he does follow up appointments to go over lab results, tests and visits with other health care professionals. It is refreshing to have those lab results explained and to ask questions if I have any. I agree with David, another reviewer, in that Dr. Sheikh makes me feel like my well-being is the most important thing in the world. His office is kept at a comfortable temperature and I am not uncomfortably cold as I have always been in the other offices. Appointments are able to be made in a timely manner and my appointments have been on time. Couldn't be happier with Dr. Rahat Sheikh.

I've recently developed some heart complications and swelling in my legs. Dr. Sheikh took the time to personally respond to my emails and provided a little extra care to help ease my concerns between appointments. His concern and response made me feel heard and validated.

The follow-up visit was very informative about my mishap and how to better take care of further issues if any. I felt very comfortable talking with Dr. Sheikh and always have. I feel he truly listens to me about my health questions and issues. That is important to me. Dr Sheikh had saved my life when I had serious heart problems and I will always be grateful to him. We need more doctors like him in our clinic. He is one of our best!
