"Not at all your standard "in and out" doctor. Professional yet will take the time to really get to know and understand you. Also understands your own time frame, while his own schedule is easy to work around. Starting out on managing health issues is difficult, I know 100% I was set with the right doctor for the not so fun journey. I'd recommend 1000 percent, and doctors/specialists are hard to impress me. Whether most lack in personality, or some over do a fausade - he's completely natural."

His concern and sincerity was worth more than he could possibly imagine."
"I was searching for a really good Gastroenterology doctor and came across Dr. Shahzad. Of course we all read the reviews on doctors because we want the best care especially when sick and a lot of his reviews were really good. So I called being a new patient and they were able to get me in same day! When I got there I waited an hour passed my appointment time and the staff was able to let me know ahead of time. I didn't mind the wait at all because I heard that he really really listens to his patients and helps them. He is not one of those doctors that are in and out, in which I really respect. So that's why there was a little wait time. He really wants to help his patients get better and do whatever he has to do to get them better, in which he reassured me. =)"
