Dr. Erum Shahab, MD

Bum

I am a former patient of "Dr." Shahab. She was my suboxone prescriber. During that time I had to have an emergency (not elective) surgery. I was given a very strong opiate following surgery. Shahab insisted that I fill my Rx and then bring it to her. She proceeded to TAKE MY MEDICATION and then wrote me an Rx for another opiate. She commonly did this to other patients as well, making them surrender all kinds of medications, including the suboxone she prescribed (and would then prescribe them another dose or another medication/etc.) Patients who refused to give her their medications were "dismissed," as she made it VERY clear to all of us... for every ONE of us, there were TEN people waiting to take out place. It was well known that she kept quite a bit of suboxone on hand at her office in Ellington at EBH and that she sold it to patients. It was common place to wait upwards of an hour+ for your appt. with Shahab, however if you arrived more than 5 minutes late you were forced… to reschedule. It was also common to show up for your appointment, wait to see her and then have one of the staff members come out and apologize and tell everyone that Shahab had left for the day and we all needed to reschedule. She did this to me THREE TIMES IN A ROW. She should not be allowed to practice medicine. She is a criminal.

Doctor shahab is one of the doctors that has helped me through a lot I was on the verge of losing my job my house my respect and my life and she diagnosed me and help me throw a lot With her team and herself she has always been there to commit to my safety and everything else

I have been a patient of Dr. Shahab for over 20 years. She has always provided compassionate care at the highest professional level. Her staff are friendly, courteous, and very helpful. I highly recommend her for anybody looking for the best in mental health care.

I was a patient for roughly a year. Never once did I truly feel cared about. Shahab burns through APRN’S like water. Anyone who was worth their salt, never lasted long in her practice. Things I noticed were her utterly expensive furniture in her office and the rest of the place was junky and filthy, like the bathroom! I find myself wondering how is it that she still has a license to any sort of practice??? WOW Again, trust me....go ELSEWHERE.

My APRN mysteriously disappeared one day never to return. The.office staff were given no warning. All of us, clients, are now.scrambling to find.another prescriber.In the meantime we or I have an appt to see shahab which is pointless because her license to prescribe.meds has been restricted She cannot prescribe the.meds.I need. And being bi-polar is not something.to screw with.

I saw my last Dr for 17 yrs. I find Dr. Shahab much more caring and interested in my mental health. Yes, she runs late, but that's bc she actually spends time with her patients. My last Dr spent 5 minutes with me, tops. This is after I drove an hour to the appt. I'm much better off.

She is a fraud should loose her license to practice

Rude cancels a lot of her appointments a friend is in a relapse prevention group. She had cancelled his appointment to see her. He been there for three years for Suboxone has not seen her in over 9 months needs medication adjusted. She has her groups in the parking lot in front of everybody with a mini mall next door, this is so she can smoke cigarettes
