    I found Dr. Shaikh to be very personable and very easy to talk to. His explanation of my condition was explained thoroughly and was easy to comprehend. Very good experience- would recommend and come again myself if necessary.

    I really liked this dr. He was thorough and patient with me as I was struggling and in a tremendous amount of pain. He also answered all my husbands questions. My last visit for my yearly physical was in another office with a new primary dr who was absolutely awful and I was hesitant to try another dr from Atlantic but I'm so happy I met with dr shaikh because he was awesome and would absolutely recommend him.
