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. Shikoh and his office and medical staff are excellent in every way. He gives extra-ordinary personal attention in explaining the procedures to both me and my wife post procedure. I highly recommend him as one who is interested in making each patient comfortable and at ease. He is very professional and also on time for appointments.

Refuses to work in team approach w/ other providers to coordinate care. Doesn't consider other diagnoses/impact they have on GI issues. Any GI issue he thinks related to non GI med, tells you go back to other MD. In only 1 day/week. Difficult to reach. Receptionist gives medical advice. Messages not passed on correctly. Had urgent problems & then chastised me for calling too much. I called 4x in 2 weeks, ended up in ER. Now going to caring, knowledgeable, MD who works w/ my other MDs.
