Dr Shaikh finally found out what was wrong with me after I'd gone to two different ERs in the previous week for the same thing. I want to thank him for being patient and listening to my story.

Dr Sheikh looked me in the eye and said You're going to be fine." That was just what I needed to feel better at that time. You see I had been having sinusitis off and on again for a long time. My doctor put me on antibotics and it would get better. Then it would get worse again and start all over again. Dr Shekh looked up my nose and foind a piece of plastic that went up there from work. He pulled it out and said that's what's causing my infection. Then he threw it away and I felt better. I never had none of that infection again. Now I'm all better 100%.

Warm bedside manner. It's good to know a doctor like this works in my own neighborhood. I wish he had office hours in his own clinic but he just works in the ER. My loss!
