Dr. Shakir saved the life of my wife. She suffered a ruptured colon late on a Saturday night during the peak of the COVID-19. He operated on her late that same night. As I was not allowed into the hospital, I only received phone calls before and after the operation. He talked to me the next day and made it very clear to me that her recovery would be a day at a time concern and that she was very sick. I very much felt that she was in very capable and professional care. A few months later he was able to perform a reversal operation to make her whole again. We are very pleased with the outcome of this set of events and we are forever grateful for his skill as a surgeon and doctor.

I am beyond grateful for the care that Dr. Shakir and his team showed me during my road to recovery. I had to undergo 3 separate surgeries in the past 6 months, unfortunately contracting covid-19 being in and out of the hospital setting and Dr. Shakir’s team ensured my recovery was as smooth as possible. I feel confident on my road to recovery with such a great team looking out for me, ensuring that I get back to 100%.

Dr. Shakir is a very skilled surgeon–my laparoscopic appendectomy went smoother than I could ever imagine, and I recovered within a few days.

Great great surgeon!!

What a great surgeon. He did surgery on my mom. It was a difficult surgery. She had scar tissue twisting off her intestines. She had had previous surgery to fix the problem. So that only made more scar tissue after 10 years. He handled the situation very professionally. And her age and health history were addressed. She did have complications but they were taken care of as they came. We knew her recovery would be harder this time. Now she is finishing her recovery at home. I would recommend this doctor to someone who is not a great candidate for surgery. He will get you through. Safely. Thank you Dr. Shakir.

Dr. Shakir took great care of me with no notice due to an unforeseen emergency. I felt fortunate under the circumstances he was available to help me out and I would absolutely go back to him.

Finally someone who listens. I was very scared about having surgery for my hernia but Dr. Shakir talked me through the whole procedure and helped me calm my anxiety. Definitely recommend him to others.

Awesome doctor that takes time to listen to his patients and cares for his patients as well couldn’t ask for a better doctor. and I would absolutely go back to him should I need a surgeon in the future
