Dr. Shuaib was very kind and professional, she treats obesity not as a fault of the person but rather their genetics and hormones. It is refreshing to see this updated view of obesity in medicine which in the past has always been the patients fault for not trying hard enough.

Dr. Shuaib was extremely kind and thorough with her questions and left me feeling like she genuinely cared about my health. So many doctors these days just try to rush you through to meet their quotas and make you feel unimportant. This is definitely not true with Dr. Shuaib and I look forward to a long Dr/patient relationship with her.

Dr. Rahia immediately created a safe and welcoming environment by introducing herself with genuine warmth and reassurance. She is highly knowledgeable about PCOS treatments, mental health care, and overall health and wellness. I truly appreciated her approach in presenting a variety of treatment options, ensuring that my preferences and goals were included in the decision-making process. Throughout our conversation about infertility and family planning, she remained compassionate, supportive, and completely nonjudgmental. Her professionalism and empathy made me feel both understood and empowered in my care.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
