Dr. Sheikh and staff are terrific. However, now that they do not accept my Preferred Care Partners Insurance, I will have to go elsewhere for the therapy he wants me to have.
I rarely leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience. My visit with Dr. Sheikh was deeply disappointing. From the moment I walked in, his demeanor was cold, dismissive, and completely lacking in basic professionalism or empathy. He seemed uninterested in listening, rushed the appointment, and responded to my concerns with condescension rather than care. It’s one thing to be efficient, but it’s another to treat patients like an inconvenience. A career in medicine should come with a basic ability to communicate respectfully, especially when patients are vulnerable and seeking help. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. If you’re looking for a provider who values bedside manner and respectful dialogue, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
Dr Marucio does a great job of speaking to me in a friendly manner and goes over everything very thoroughly and makes sure I understood everything before I left the office , He is Great
Always friendly, always has lots of energy, and great advice. I have been recommending him whenever I get a chance!
He is very professional,seemed knowledgeable & experienced in what he does, he got to the point in explaining his theory which i agreed with he did not waste my time and i didnt waste his.
This dr was curt and very short with me. Spoke to me as if everything I said annoyed him. Horrible experience.
Dr Babak Sheikh is an Excellent Physician. He has what I call that old fashioned bed side manner. He cares!! He's very professional but very friendly at the same time. He knows how to make you feel at ease. He is thorough, and speaks to you about your issues with clarity and understanding. With Dr Sheikh I am confident that my care is at the highest level. I highly recommend Dr Sheikh for any orthopedic needs you may have.
He is the best,full of knowledge and kindness.
Good bedside manner- blended practical aspects of daily life with medical training
