Excellent Dr and Staff. Extremely intelligent.

Very professional team. Would highly recommend there services.

Dr. Sheikh is very dry. Terrible bedside manners. He, as always, refers you to someone else. When you tell him something, he doesn't listen and just barks orders at you.....

Was referred to Dr. Sheikh by my primary doctor. He has zero personality and dismissed my hand tremors as "probably from a medication". He was quite brash when he asked me why I don't have health insurance even though I paid for all the testing and the visit at that point. Haven't had a follow up call or any sort of communication for a month now since I had a bunch of labs an an MRI done. If you want a doctor that is annoyed by your presence this is your guy.

My 21 year-old son was referred to Dr. Sheikh by his primary care doctor. At the first visit, he was given a nerve test. At the time, Dr. Sheikh determined that it was not a nerve issue, and referred him for physical therapy. He stated that “maybe he was sleeping on his arm wrong.” After several visits to the physical therapist, my son’s symptoms were not improving. In fact, his symptoms worsened. My son, then, made another appointment with Dr. Sheikh, and was told to increase his pain medication and to see an orthopedist. No further testing or treatment was given at that second appointment. My son made his own appointment with an orthopedist, who immediately stated that he did not think that this was an orthopedic issue. The orthopedist recommended an MRI to see what was, actually, going on. The day my son had his MRI, he was immediately referred to KU Spine Center. As it turns out, he has a tumor on his spinal cord. He will be having surgery as soon as possible to remove the tumor. I feel that Dr. Sheikh dismissed my son, and his true need for care and relief. His lack of attentiveness, also, cost us more money in medical bills. I am just grateful that we pursued the issue with competent medical professionals. Now, my son is getting the care he deserved a few months ago from Dr. Sheikh. I will not EVER recommend Dr. Sheikh, and we will not be seeing him again.

Been trying to get a neurologist for 4 months now and everything it's we didn't get your referral. We can't do anything without it. Well I guess when I run out of my meds and come in for a seizure yall paying the bill cut I won't
