She is a specialist in chest medicine, offers expert care for respiratory issues. With thorough consultations and effective treatments provided relief from conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Friendly, professional, and attentive to patient needs. Highly recommended.

Doctor was friendly/attentive and responded to all my concerns. The wait time was 15 minutes. Excellent bedside manners. Highly recommend Dr. Shekar.

I would never see Dr. Shekar. She does not care about her patients.

Although the initial treatment was great, follow-up is extremely difficult. I have been waiting for a CPAP machine for several weeks after my sleep study, no avail. After being told that a machine would be called in and prescribed to the local store, I was told that I had to go in to see Dr. Shakur again. This makes no sense to me as I have not actually started the CPAP treatment. To me, it seems like another way for them to make money off of the co-pay. I would recommend going elsewhere if possible.
