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.

He definitely listens to what you have to say and tries to find ways to help you get out of that rut and get you back on track to what you should be doing. I have been seeing Dr Sheikh for years and I really love him!!

Worst psychiatrist I've ever had. He arbitrarily decided to take me off of my sleep medication and ADHD medication, for literally no reason other than he felt like it. I started crying and begged him to give me my meds, and he shrugged and said no. He's no better than no doctor at all.

He does not really listen to you. I don't think he understands English very well. He most certainly does not know who you are after seeing him for over 2 years. He does not a lot of times remember what medication he has you on and he will ask you, or say I dont remember prescribing you that. The problem seeing him he is more likely to take my insurance that is why I see him. Sad how insurance works. You don't have great insurance, and then your sent to someone who is incompetent.

What a dim bulb! It's amazing that he's in business and hasn't been removed from practice. Rude too, he will walk away from you while you're talking with him. Don't leave your loved one under his care or their condition will get worse. He gave my mother a cocktail of medicine that made the other doctors just shake their head. Once out of his care Mom got better in four weeks.
