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.

I finally found the doctor I've been looking for.
The doctor and staff were all friendly and courteous.

Rushed and talks over you
I have seen him a few times now and would not recommend. He rushes through the appointment even though there was one other person in the lobby. I was in there for what seemed like 5 minutes. Then as he was asking me questions through the appointment he talked over me most of the time. Is he even listening to me, you asked me the questions?? Then I asked about having a procedure done since I am predisposed to a certain condition. He said he would not write the referral because Insurance would not cover it until a certain age. I told him that is not true. He told me I would be paying a lot out of pocket. I went home later and called the insurance company. They told me he was wrong because this condition runs in my family which I told him earlier. It would have not been covered by insurance if I wasn't predisposed to this condition. I will not be going back to see him. Worst doctor I have ever seen. I am just trying to find a good doctor since I moved to this area a couple years ago.

I would not recommend Dr. Sheikh to any new patients. He is abrupt, doesn't listen to patient concerns, has a genuine poor attitude, his appointments are rushed, and he drives patients away from the practice. If it wasn't for the wonderful Physician's assistants, I don't know how this practice would stay in business.

I treat with Angel or Amanda. They’re both great. When I call to make an appointment and they give him as an option his receptionists laugh when I say I wouldn’t visit with him if he was the last dr around. I’ve had some choice words that piece of you know what and he ran out of there like the little b that he is. F that guy!

Such an awful man. So rude and has no compassion. Doesn't do a thorough examine, just gives you an RX and sends you in your way.. God forbid you ask for any information or paper work .

Elderly couple that have been patients for several years. Previous reviews say it all. In addition he never accurately reviews medical results of tests.... he pushes pills to make a cure instead of explaining life style changes or researching the cause of such conditions causing negative symptoms. The North Collins Office is run down, dirty, disgusting exam room walls floors windows and furniture. The step stool is rusty and dented and wall paper is peeling. His nurse assistant Angel excels

Awful bedside manner. Doesn't care at all about his patients. Rushes you out of the office. If I were to go back I would see the PA angel.

He doesn't listen to you. He will give you a prescription and send you on your way. So if you don't have anything seriously wrong with you you will do just fine.

I've been a Reg Nurse for almost 30yrs and I am a supervisor in the Emergency Department. This So called Dr is the WORST I've ever seen. Doesnt listen to anything u say, just doesn't care. He spent about 5 min with me and I got nowhere. How does he have a license to practice ? I would not recommend him for a dying frog. I worked with hundreds of drs. I've seen bad and very good. This dr is the WORST of the WORST. The PA Angel is AWESOME ! It's ashame she has to work with this guy. STAY AWAY !!

This Doctor is horrible! Don't waste your time. He spends less than 5 minutes with you and never gets to the real problem you are there. He has a horrible bedside manner, and has no compassion for his patients. Their front office staff are rude, and give out medical advice to which they have no medical background what so ever. Beware of this place! If you have to see someone here see the PA!!!! At least she cares.

He spent less than 1min30sec in the room with me, and when I told him I wasn't touching the aggravated area, he basically ignored what I said and told me for it to improve, I would need to stop irritating the affected area.
