Dr. Shamsnia is a genius. I have the utmost trust in his opinions and diagnosis. He is a very busy Doctor, but if you allow him- he is a take charge Doctor and will do everything in his power to test, diagnose, explain, and treat your disease. Once you have established a relationship with Dr. Shamsnia you will never regret it.

After waiting more than 2 hours, I finally saw Dr. Shamsnia. I found him rude and arrogant. My main complaint, however, is that he did not listen to me or explain anything (diagnosis, medications, etc). How can a medical professional properly diagnose someone when he does not take the time to actually listen to what I'm saying to him?

After being rescheduled three times to see Dr. Shamsnia, I finally saw him yesterday. I went with such hopes of improving my debilitating illness. I will be short and to the point. After being there THREE HOURS I was finally seen by two of his medical studentts or residents which were very nice. They listened to me and spent as much time as needed. 45min to an hour later Dr. Shamsnia and the two others came into the room. If he was in there 15min I would be stretching it. During that time I talked 9 of the 15 min. Without reviewing all of my records he basically told me he was not accepting my diagnosis based on the tests I had already done. He wanted to perfrom the test again and diagnose me!!! EXCUSE me!! A test is a test. I actually had two test done confirming my diagnosis. Oh it went much worse than that sounds. He NOT ONCE answered any question that I came there with. DID NOT even address my symptoms! Said nothing! I was beyond disappointed and will NEVER RETURN to see… him again! It was a JOKE!! I was there a total of 4 hours by the way. 15min max with him!!!
