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.

The best doctor on Island.

I have been seeing many psychiatrists for my anxiety and depression for the last 18. My previous psychiatrist retired; I switched to Dr. Shakir's personal practice at Staten Island Medical and Behavioral PC. I found her up-to-date and knowledgeable. Her staff is also professional and courteous. She weaned me off addictive meds and put me on only one pill a day. I have improved a lot; I am feeling much better under her guidance within two months. I highly recommend Dr. Shakir

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shakir?
A nightmare. Dr. Shakir is fine during appointments. However, communication and billing is awful. There were times that I would get no responses to emails, calls, or texts for over a week. Sometimes, I would not get a response at all. Appointments were just randomly scheduled for me and I would be texted with 1-2 days notice. They would charge me for a full session when I would talk to Dr. Shakir for literally 5-10 minutes. They charged me for an appointment that was scheduled randomly for me and I never confirmed. I didn't even get a call for the appointment, just a text. Honestly, I would I just avoid. Not worth the frustration.

She is board certified, with excellent bedside manner. Excellent rapport. Addresses all concerns with empathy and kindness. She is a very good listener, with excellent knowledge of psychiatry and medicines. But one negative aspect, I would give her 5 out of 5.

She's seemingly only interested in dispensing medication, if you try to discuss anything of note she will quickly change the subject
