Dr. Shaista Husain, MD

The office staff cancelled our appointment the day before because she didn’t accept our insurance. We’ve had this appointment for 3 1/5 weeks. But they waited a day before to cancel. We have an elderly relative and we could have made an appointment sooner now we have to go through who is in our insurance group and get a referral and make an appointment. Probably another month before we can be seen.

Dr.Shaista Husain is an awesome Dr i highly recommend she listened to everything i said and unexplained everything to me .

I am extremely disappointed by the conduct and attitude of Dr. Husain. First, she recommended a totally unnecessary surgery (that my primary physician vetoed). Second, she set up a "medical" appointment where she did not even meet me; instead, she sent a billing administrator to meet me to explain how I could pay a bill that would not be covered by my health insurance. Third, she tried to rush me into the unnecessary procedure and scare me into undergoing it. It has been almost a year since this experience, and I am coming to realize (over the course of interacting with other physicians—personal doctors, friends, and relatives) that her conduct was absolutely inappropriate. Do not visit this doctor under any circumstances.

Very caring, dedicated and kind to patients.

I suffered from the worst possible sinusitis for thirty years before I went to see doctor Husain. I had had a polyps removal surgery, was addicted to Afrin and several other anti-inflammatory antihistamine sprays. I was under doctor Hussain's care for a little over two years during which time she did nasal surgery and a rhinoplasty. She also put me on allergy shots for 2 and 1/2 years. More than that though,she did a lot of counselling and coaching where she told me what to do to reduce the onset of infections in my nose and to keep my nasal passages clean to help with nasal congestion. It is because of her counselling, coaching, professional opinions and of course the treatment that she provided me that I am now 99% clear of allergies and I feel great. I have gone from being addicted to Afrin and to other medicines to now for the most part totally free of taking medicines for my allergies. My experience with her office staff has always been very good. They are true professionals!

This was the worst doctors visit experience that I have ever had. The doctor there is rude and full of attitude. I went there for my son's appointment and the whole time she was rude so I told her not to examine my son and that I would rather leave than to waste my money and time there. I do not recommend going to this doctor to anybody

She is one of the worst doctor we had ever met, I met her last week as i was feeling fullness of ear due to some wax, i told her clearly that we have been using debroux from past few days but it did not help at all, i still insisted to to use debroux for few more days if that doesn’t help; come back(Gotcha 1 to make money she called me again) , as expected, i went back after few days and then met the doctor, she came with her old and dirty instruments ( she don’t even have microscope) , finally she started cleaning my ear, while cleaning up she used the instruments so harshly that it Bruce my ear drum, I was crying in tears , but the doctor never stopped and told that you are too sensitive, And hence, having pain. Once doctor was done cleaning, she asked me to leave, I was still in pain and no improvement in my hearing, I complaint to the staff, staff consulted with doctor who suggested that if I am still not feeling better then go for hearing test and in case of pain take telenol, she

A very competent and polite person who will listen to you and will do what is best for you.

This review is not for Dr. Husain, but for her staff which is just too much to explain. Save yourself the headache and go anywhere else!

Dr. Husain is a great Dr in her field. The sad part, it is very difficult to get an appointment to see here, and when you finally get a far off into the future appt., they cancel on you and you need to re-start the process. This part is not acceptable. The wait time is also ridiculous, as if your time does not matter to them. But in All HONESTY, she is good at what she does, and that is why I keep going to her. I hope this review only helos improve these conditions.

Do yourself a favor and AVOID Husain Shaista MD, FACS. Her office is old and filthy, her staff is unprofessional and unhygienic, and she is a joke of a medical practitioner.

Wait time is way way way too long (hours; no excuses; no apologize) It was as if our time didn't matter to her Would never go back

Dr Husain was very pleasant and eager to listen. Her office staff is another story. They are the most incompetent group of office staff I have encountered. They have messed up on my testing orders time and time again. They do not bother trying to rectify the situation or apologize for their errors. They will tell you their phones and fax line are down....while they are on the phone with you. The doctor, although very skilled, will undoubtly loose patients due to the fact her staff is not engaged
