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.

Dr. Sheikh is unprofessional.
Who is Dr. Sheikh? Not once do she visit the room of the patient to follow up and/or to explain procedures to the patient and/or family. She delays surgery of patients and leaves the patients in the rooms on liquid diets for an excessive amount of time without proper communication leaving both the patient and family clueless and worried while the patient is losing nutrition and becoming more weak upon surgery which in turn is causing more injury. The nurses consistently give you false information on when the surgery is scheduled to take place and no one seems to know what's going on. This unprofessionalism should not be tolerated especially when it is dealing with the preservation of human life. I am requesting that this matter be investigated immediately without prejudice. Thank you!

My wife and I met Dr. Sheikh for a consultation on Monday, April 30, 2018 at Dartmouth Hitchcock Hospital in Lebanon, NH. We both discovered that she was very accomplished in her discussions with us and answered all of our questions. It is obvious that Dr. Sheikh is very proficient in her profession.
