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.

Dr. Shakil has been one of the most amazing doctors that I have ever met. I have never met a Doctor that could care any more about his patient's well being. I was extremely sad when he notified me that he was moving to New York. He stuck by my side throughout my fight with cancer. He went above and beyond what he was required to do, and was my right hand throughout this journey. My son and I are blessed that he was able to help me beat cancer.

I believe he's a doctor with good intentions, maybe? I asked him about natural treatments for Cancer, he refused to answer. He wanted to give me the recommend dosage for my illness, which included 6 to 8 treatments. I asked him if I'm cured in 1 or 2 treatments, then why would you poison me with the rest! Chemo doesn't cure the cancer stem cells, therefore causing cancer to come back stronger. In my opinion it's all about dollars and not about the patients health!

He is not very good at explaining what is actually going on with your diagnosis and if the results are good or bad. I haven't even been diagnosed with my condition for a year and he already wants to take drastic measures for treatment and has not explored other options. When asked about other treatment options he seems unsure and is not aware of other medicines to treat my condition other than medicines in the same group as I am taking now.
