Dr. Arif Shakoor, MD

I love to go see my mother on her birthday. I usually bring her flowers and take her to dinner. I can not see her any more, because she is dead for just over a year now, due to Dr. Shakoor and his incompetence. He has the bed side manner of a wet dish rag, you know the one, that smells bad with out getting it near your face when you throw it in the wash. I would stay away from the whole gateway group, there are much better physician groups out there.

whole entire group is arrogance , he need to start selling Banana in Okeechobee city ,

I have had my appointments rescheduled and even canceled last time with no call from them to even reshedule due to Dr. Shakoor prioritizing a sudden meeting. Basically, Im left feeling unvalued as a patient for some reason...either not deathly ill enough to mean big bucks or arrogance. Thats just a feeling I get as the doctor was outside the entry door on his cell phone, as I arrived at my last appointment that'd been canceled without my knowledge. He walked back in as I sat in waiting room and then walked out and left. Then a receptioist came out and told me about the cancelation. She tried to get me to come back in 1.5 hours butI had another obligation out of town. Its like doctors time matters but patients time does not. I won't be returning. Its too unreliable and a patient has a right to have trust in their doctor and feel valued.
