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.

A doctor that’s been doing this profession for 40 plus years I’m shocked how my labor went. First of all, dr shakfeh does not get to know you on a personal level, he has his NP’s see you during your prenatal appointments, so come time for you to deliver your baby, Dr. Shakfeh won’t know who you are or your history. Second, he’ll dismiss your pain. I came in to the hospital with painful active labor contractions and he asked me if I was “over exaggerating”? And wouldn't admit me for another 4 hours. After I started crying from pain did he finally admit me and sure enough I had my baby 6 hours after. Would not recommend this doctor.

So far amazing!
It was my first time meeting Dr. Shakfeh at my last appointment and he was the NICEST man to my husband and I. He took the time to answer each and every one of our questions. I feel confident in him delivering a healthy baby for us and will continue to see him after the baby is born! The staff is just AMAZING as well. They all treat us so nice and couldn’t have picked a better Obgyn to go to! I highly recommend! Thank you again to all the wonderful staff, nurses, and Doctor himself! Keep up the great work!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Shakfeh’s when I found out I was pregnant in 2012, I was referred by a friend who said “you won’t be disappointed”. Dr.Shakfeh is seriously the BEST hands down!! He is very compassionate, always listens and is pretty comical. In the midst of my pregnancy I found out I was a carrier for CF & had had gest diabetes, Dr sat down with me and discussed what that meant and explained safety for me and my growing child. You will READ & HEAR and bout long wait times and it’s TRUE. Sometimes the wait is short and your in and out and sometimes your there for an hour + ...(I secretly left the practice In my early pregnancy, fed up with the wait, but no other DR gave me the feeling of care and sincerity that Shakfeh provided, so I returned) during delivery I was scared but his pure confidence was calming. I would NOT and will NOT GO TO ANOTHER OBGYN!! One thing I love, Shakfeh doesn’t send a strange Dr. to deliver your child, he shows up for most important day on time!

I usually don't write reviews, but as this has been one of the worst physicians experiences throughout my 3 pregnancies I wanted to share my experience. First off I felt my care was not being managed. I initially started my care with Dr Shakfeh who was pleasant, but after our initial visit all my follow up care was by his staff or Interns in training who could not assess my care as he was an Intern in training and did not even have my chart information before seeing me. They provided inaccurate lab results advising my iron was low and that I needed to take supplements throughout my pregnancy which was never followed up on to determine if the supplements were working. Then I found out after switching my care that the results they gave me were incorrect so I did not need to take the supplements in the first place. That alone with dealing with the aggravation of none of the testing being done in office so all lab work had to be done at a separate visit. No urine samples, sugar, or iron le
