She is wonderful and took great care of me. I appreciate that she was talking to me, giving me the result after, not my husband, who brought me. I often hear that doctors are providing the other person the results while the patient is still recovering. I really appreciate that she came in and talked straight to me after. I also appreciate that I was provided with images along with the results. Thank you!!!

As a doctor, I would rate Dr. Shamsi at 1000!!!! = ))) She is an AWESOME doctor!!! = ))) I have total confidence in her as my provider. HOWEVER, I have a very serious concern about appt. availability. If I had no digestive issues, seeing her once a year or every other year would be fine, but sadly, that is NOT the case right now and as a result, I need her help and cannot wait for EIGHT months for that to happen.

I recently had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Nabiha S. Shamsi and couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very first consultation, Dr. Shamsi was warm, patient, and extremely thorough in explaining the process. She made what could have been an anxious situation feel calm and straightforward. Her professionalism and bedside manner were exceptional _ she listened carefully to my concerns, answered every question with clarity, and ensured I was comfortable at every stage. The procedure itself was smooth, quick, and handled with great skill. Dr. Shamsi's team reflected her same level of compassion and efficiency, creating a sense of trust and ease throughout. I left feeling confident in her care and deeply appreciative of her dedication to her patients' well-being. I highly recommend Dr. Nabiha S. Shamsi to anyone seeking a gastroenterologist who combines medical expertise with genuine empathy and professionalism.
