“ZocDoc sent me to the wrong doctor but Dr Shaikh was amazing. Because of Zocdocs error he didn’t charge me for the visit but also referred to me the correct doctor and I have an appointment for next week Friday. His bedside manner is amazing and the only disappointment is that he doesn’t specialize in what I needed!!!”
