Was very experienced
I was having a challenging day and arrived late for my appointment. Dr Shaikh eased my frustrations and agreed to perform my eye examination
Very knowledgeable, and spends time explaining what’s going on. Thanks for your kindness and your receptionist is also patient and kind.
When I had an urgent issue with my eye Dr Shaikh was able to see me the same day. She was very friendly and welcoming and after a thorough examination was quickly able to effectively resolve my problem and the serious pain I had been having for days! I highly recommend her and Fairfax Cataract & Retina!
Knowledgeable, friendly, professional
She is a great doctor and I am happy with her and also her secretary is very sweet and helpful.
Hi I am Kayla and I just want everyone to know Dr.Shaikh saved my eyesight. I came to Dr. Shaikh terrified I was losing my vision and had no idea what was going on, I am only 19 years old and she saved it. Her kindness, urgency, and brilliance gave me hope when I had none. I could feel how deeply she cared, and that made all the difference. Thanks to her, I can see the world again and I have never seen a doctor that cared as much as she did. I cried to her in her office because I was so scared at first and she made me feel like she wasn’t going to let anything bad happen to me and I will never forget what she did for me. She didn’t just treat my eyes and save my life going forward, she changed my life. Thank you Dr.shaikh and her office, I will always recommend her to everyone I know. She is the best!
Awesome!

Dr. Shaikh checked my eyes and my wife's eyes very careful and very professional. She explained and gave us documents about cataract surgery which my wife is reviewing now to see whether she should have surgery now or wait for later. Thank you Doctor!
She is very caring and explains clearly , no waiting
Dr. Shaikh is an amazing doctor. I feel completely safe under her care. She’s very competent and explains everything very well. I would like to also say that her front desk attendant is so friendly and wonderful and it is nice to walk into an office where you are welcomed. And whenever I’ve had to call her she’s been extremely understanding and kind. I think her name is Tamara. But if I’m wrong, I hope they will correct my message with an answer with her right name.
Very professional and caring doctor.
She was very thorough and took time to explain clearly Highly recommend her for any Opthalmology issues
My first visit with Dr. Sheikn I was impressed how knowledgeable and patient she was. I highly recommend her to friends and family. I would give her more than 10 stars.
It has always been wonderful …. Dr Sheikh is very considerate and kind to her patients. It is a very fast in and out follow up though very comprehensive. Her staff is always cheerful and very helpful … I feel very much at home.
It was my first time getting a prescription for glasses. I appreciate her patience as she conducted the procedure. I was also impressed by her willingness to give me the advice I needed rather than what I wanted to hear.
Dr. Shaikh is a very good physician. She ares about you as a person and a patient. Medical issues with your eyes is very stressful!. Dr. Shaikh was always available to answer questions and explained all medical eye exams in detail. Furthermore, she helped in getting critical MRI exams in a timely manner.b My experience with Dr. Shaikh was the best possible outcome for my eyes. She goes above and beyond for her patients.
