I attended the appointment with my 89 year old father, who was the patient. Dr Shaikh immediately put my dad at ease, his explanation was really clear and delivered compassionately. He also took time to explain the results to me.

Dr Shaikh provides an excellent Clinical Neurophysiology service for my private patients with spinal problems. His reports are detailed, precise and the conclusion and or the summary helps me immensely with clinical decision making for patients with the complex conditions. He is extremely friendly and goes the extra mile to help the patient obtain a diagnosis, provide a prognosis and to direct care to more appropriate clinicians depending on his study findings.
