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.

New Dr. visit
Just so-so. Had some difficulty understanding him at times. He didn’t seem very personable. Mostly looked at his computer. My previous Dr. was so different— listened and connected with me. I just felt rushed. However, he was polite.

Old patient 82
He was very good doctor in 1982. I've seen him for a social security appointment in 2oo6 and you're right. He was totally nasty and rude. He should lose his license.

Terrible
Dismissive and insulting. Made assumptions instead of asking questions. When I tried to correct him he said "well you MUST be doing SOMETHING wrong" as if any health problem I maybe having is clearly my fault. Looked at the computer the entire time he was asking me questions. And was WEARING HIS MASK WRONG! I felt like asking him if he was really a doctor or someone who just wandered in off the street. I've been going to this practice for years and Dr. Shamsie was assigned to me after Dr. Rolls retired. I imagine he's the only provider in the practice accepting new patients because no one will see him more than once. I know I sure won't!

PETER A CALENZO – Jun 23, 2022

I felt very rushed through my appointment. Dr. Shamsie seemed totally uninterested in listening to my symptoms and providing an accurate diagnosis. I went in because of abnormal weight gain and he suggested that I go on a diet (despite the fact that I clearly told him my diet and exercise habits -- he didn't seem to believe me). Dr. Shamsie kept insisting that I just need to "eat less" and that would fix all of my problems. He is fatphobic and a terrible doctor. I have since been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and LGS and am working with a good doctor on managing my symptoms. Had Dr. Shamsie actually done the most basic part of his job, I would have been diagnosed and could have begun treatment sooner. He shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine.

Unfriendly, staff can be dismissing and uncaring. Dr. Shamsie was not accommodating to my schedule, misdiagnosed me, and was difficult to work with.

The worst doctor I have ever seen. He humiliated me in front of office staff by exposing my gown in front of others. He spoke down to me and even threw my clothing to the floor during the visit. Terrible experience. Do not consider him as a doctor.

Does not listen. Types on the computer but has someone else with him typing as well. Doesn't seem to care about me in any way at all. Very set in his ways and it's a pretty awful experience to see him. Wouldn't recommend. But I'm stuck

No compassion, doesn't even say bye, just hands you checkout slip and walks out of room. Not looking for special treatment but there's got to be a little common courtesy.
