Shahana S. Arshad's Online Review Report Card

All I have to say is.. UNPROFESSIONAL. If you have been struggling with PCOS I do not recommend. The first thing she said after introducing herself was " you don't look like you have pcos". That's pretty much how the appt went. I wasn't listened too and it felt like she was just waiting for me to say OH YEAH everything is good right? Ya know since you can't see anything wrong with me on the outside. So beyond disappointed.

she has been treating me for my Thyroid condition for many years after my surgery. She is very thorough and caring

This Dr was an answer to prayer for my daughter. Treated my daughter's rare condition like an everyday illness. Gave her hope and encouragement in addition to excellent medical advise.

Horrible! Dont ask her to help a patient, You will be belittled and treated like a jerk!

Referred by PCP. Very friendly, listened and explained causes and medications well. Came here for low testosterone treatment after multiple blood tests confirmed issue. She even saw me one time on a walk-in with no appointment. Would definitely recommend.

Dismissed brain lesion, bloodwork. Recommended things listed in my allergies section. Do not read chart!

this doctor is the absolute worst doctor I have ever met in my life. When I am trying to explain something to her she cuts me off. When she does let me talk she doesn't listen. She refuses to answer questions and refuses to admit there are things she does not know. She is rude and inconsiderate. She treats her patients like numbers and assembly lines. I'm sorry but when a doctor is in the room with me I should feel like their only patient.

The office has, on multiple occasions when called for a refill on drugs that need prior authorization for insurance reasons not returned calls.I didn't get my diabetes medication for over a month, with myself and my pharmacy trying to call. When I went to see my PCP about it, he refused to treat me, saying I had to continue with Arshad, despite my issues with the office.

Dr. Arshad has been fantastic! She is calm and listens to your concerns; she was able to find, recommend and follow-up even calling me at home. Highly recommended.

She is very generous and caring.

good experience and satisfy

I have been seeing Dr. Arshad for 10-12 years. She was referred to my by my GP's PA. Immediately impressed with her bedside manner, and consistently impressed with her apparently high level of activity in remaining current on research and FDA developments.She explains things extraordinarily well, respects my intelligence and we are able to have effective discussions about causes, effects and potential treatments for various symptoms related to my Type 2.Since the beginning, she got to know the "whole" me, which has not only deepened our relationship, but has enabled her to make recommendations that are practical and consistent with my personal lifestyle.When I was going through a particularly difficult time, she was effective in working collaboratively with my other specialist physicians that contributed to ensuring me a holistic course of treatment.One area that Dr. Arshad can improve is follow-up and monitoring in between visits. Reminders, prompts for blood work, updates on overall health, are things that I believe would significantly increase my level of confidence that my health remains essentially on-track. This is particularly important between visits, that can be 6 months to a year apart, given scheduling difficulties. While all patients must assume responsibility for their own health, it would be helpful to at least get ticklers requesting information and/or blood work be done. Plus, perhaps a means to upload blood glucose readings on at least a weekly basis.My other criticism of Dr. Arshad has more to do with the administration of her practice. It is extremely frustrating to get an appointment with her (God forbid you need to reschedule) and her office staff tends to be brusque and dismissive on the phone, sometimes to the point of being offensive. On at least two occasions over the years, I have been put off to the point of considering making a change.It is Dr. Arshad's quality of care, professional and personal attributes that prompts me to retain her.
