Dr. Karim A Shaikley, MD

Dr Karim Shaikley is the reason I am able to walk today... I had such severe injuries to my feet and legs that I was NEVER EVER supposed to walk normally again. He discussed the surgical options with me and decided to to a closed repair on the injuries. Recovery was tough... Fast forwards 30 years later... I am so very grateful for his expertise and competence. I am able to walk normally. Dr. Shaikley has done very well by me and I am totally grateful to him. An excellent doctor... great bedside manner and is very concerned about taking care of his patients. Can't find doctors like him anymore. I wish him well.

In 1985 I was in a horrific motorcycle accident and the only options at the time were to amputate my left arm and right leg because of the severity of breaks and Dr Shaikley not only saved them he repaired them so well that even after all these years I have never met a single doctor to compare. Throughout the years he had done surgeries saving several of my personal friends limbs and broken bones - many that had no insurance and he worked with them for payment plans or work in lieu so they could have their surgeries and to make sure they were well. I am aware he is now retired. But do hope he takes the time to read this and know that I remember him and that he was truly amazing for his time. God Bless him.

For on I had to put one star on him, or my review would not go through. He does not deserve even one star. I'm disabled and had to ride my disabled chair to his office on a very hot day in CA. When I finely got to his office. I noticed his name on the outside and under it, it said Dentistry. HUH? lol I wen t inside and his office is so dirty. Even chairs are torn and stuffing coming out. They didn't even have hand soap that most offices do. The girls were not nice and snotty. When the Doctor came in he is very old and his hands shake a lot. He can't speak good English, so I had to repeat myself all the time. He kept asking me for my films and report and he was holding my file with them right on top. I had to keep repeating myself that he is holding them. He went and finely looked at my films and came back in, bent my leg/knee all around and was hurting me. I have a tear in my knee with swelling. Then after all this he say's to me "I don't do knee surgeries anymore." Then WHY did he… see me??? Does it take a certain amount of time for him to get his payment? I was so upset and could not believe his treatment. He is the worse Doctor I have even seen, and was not caring at all. PLEASE do not see this so called Doctor. He honestly needs to retire. He should tell others that come in knowing they have to have surgery as I did, that he doesn't do it anymore. BUT he didn't until I was there. MONEY is what he wants. He might of been different when he was young, but not now. I would Never let a surgeon operate on me when their hands shake as much as his does. I heard him talking to others in other rooms and I believe he doesn't do surgery on anything anymore, which is good. But I was lied too and disappointed yet he wasn't. I'm sure he got paid for making me believe things that were lies. Please go find another Doctor. There are much better one's in Ranchco Cucamonga. Sorry for my mis-spelling, I just got home and I'm so upset. But wanted to write a review to save anyone else from seeing this horrible Doctor.

have a rare hand fracture and was told it was fine

Dr. Shaikley is a truly caring and knowledgeable doctor. I went to him for a second opinion, and he introduced to me a useful alternative, in lieu of a major surgery.

do not used this doctor he lies to people and take your money

Surgery was done good. Waste of time waiting for 1.5 hours in the waiting room, being seen on 3 minutes because x-ray was not ordered after surgery. I have to come back to get the xray to be examined again. Have I known that I need an xray, I wouldn't waste my time, but shouldn't doctor order it before my visit.Not counting the examine room is so dirty with fingers' prints and marks like it has not been clean for months.

dr shaikley gave me a second opinion on an injury and it ended up being the best decision i made. wait times are sometimes long, but that is usually rhe case with doctors who specialize. more importantly--he is well worth the wait!!

Dr. Shaikley definitely knows his stuff. He is an outstanding physician who pays a lot of attention and care. I was recommended to him by local healthcare professionals who said he was the best in his field, and I am very satisfied with my decision to use him as my orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Shaikley is very attentive and caring, and KNOWS HIS STUFF. I went to him for an issue after he was recommended by two different physicians who both said he was one of the top orthopedic surgeons. He definitely has a comprehensive understanding of his field and is honest and intelligent in his diagnosis and recommendations. I fully trust him.As for the other reviews--waiting in a doctor's office is normal. And his knowledge and assistance is worth the wait!
