I felt so comfortable with the Doctor and there was always a female staff member in the room as well, just for reassurance. The doctor was extremely professional and gentle, unlike female ob/gyn I have had in the past.

Dr. Shahem is an amazing doctor. He is caring, kind, and really cares about his patients. He delivered both my niece and nephew and will soon deliver my twins. I trust him completely. He is also very quick to call back after hours if you are worried about something. I had called the service on a saturday about cramping while pregnant and he called back within 5 minutes.

I rarely take time to review a doctor, but when it comes to Dr Shahem I feel compelled to do so. I have been seeing him for a certain number of years, and he delivered all of my children. He is a very sweet, knowledgeable, caring and respectful physician. He carefully listens to your concerns and tries to help in any way he can. He spends all the time he needs with you without rushing. He is also very calm, and knows how to handle difficult situations during delivery. Overall, highly recommended....

Doctor Shahem is so unbelievably professional and caring. He is knowledgeable in fields beyond his own specialty. I could not be more thankful for finding him and having him as my GYN and now my OB.
