I would never see Dr. Shekar. She does not care about her patients.

Although the initial treatment was great, follow-up is extremely difficult. I have been waiting for a CPAP machine for several weeks after my sleep study, no avail. After being told that a machine would be called in and prescribed to the local store, I was told that I had to go in to see Dr. Shakur again. This makes no sense to me as I have not actually started the CPAP treatment. To me, it seems like another way for them to make money off of the co-pay. I would recommend going elsewhere if possible.
