I would still highly recommend Dr. Shamim and wouldn't trust anyone else at this time.

Dr. Shamim came into my room and literally sat down and let me talk out loud with 100% interest with my concerns. He actually sat down in a chair to talk -vs- other doctors just stand up and read the clipboard. (Some doctors let you talk then suddenly Interrupt you to give you, their plan.) My neurologist was super cool and would listen, then ask more questions that seem to open subjects and give me options. My point is...he wasn't impatient, and I felt like he really cared about me! Super cool doc.
