Since I was little, I can remember wanting to deliver babies. My fascination with how new life came to be only grew as I became older, and this eventually led to me pursuing a career in obstetrics. As my education progressed I began to realize how much I also loved caring for women though out their lives, not just during their pregnancies. I truly cherish the long-term relationships I am able to maintain with my patients, and help to take care of them at the best and worst of times. Being able to make even a small difference in someone’s life, especially during difficult times, is what keeps me going!

Dr Sheema Khan-Simba speaks English, Urdu and Hindi.
“After waiting for almost an hour, I was finally able to speak to Dr. Khan. Her knowledge & information left me with a positive feeling. The only reason for the 3 stars is that my appointment was at 2:15 & we didn’t speak until 2:55.”
I feel priviliged to be involved in some of the most intimate and emotional experiences in our female patients’ lives. The relationships forged during childbirth through menopause and beyond makes the practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology rewarding. It is exciting to help women implement new and innovative ways of managing these situations.
