Ratings for Dr. Charanjit S. Shikh
he worst doctor ever.does'nt care about the patient's well being. being a student i was self pay. went to him with intense shoulder pain & couple other complaints. during 1st visit,he charged me $143 & only ordered a list of tests for which i had to pay another $450. he wouldnt offer any payment plan while pretty much all doctors do. so i had to pay the whole $650+ upfront. when the results arrived he wouldn't see me to discuss the results infact i had an apntmnt with him the day the results were to come but he wasnt even in the office to see me.his office wouldn't discuss the result unless i paid another $100.they wouldn't even tell me the name of the lab my tests were carried out through so i could call them to discuss the result myslf. if i pay a doctor & get tests done with him, it is his duty & my right to know whats going on but he doesn't care unless you pay him his over priced fees.his nurse & staff are as unprofessional & unfriendly as him. extremely disappointed. he didn't even bother providing any medication for the pain i went to him with. offcourse unless i would pay him whatever amount his office demanded. so now even after spending $650+ & almost living in pain for over 2 weeks & getting a whole lot of tests done i still don't know whats going on with my body & have'nt received any medication for my pain or even the cause of the pain. now i have to spend more money & see another doctor & live in pain for more time. absolute waste of time & money. beware of this doctor friends ! doesn't even deserve 1 star rating but i had to choose since they had nothing lower than that.
Worst experience. He charges for a lot of testing that's not needed. He's never on time. He have a great staff but he's a terrible doctor hes about the money. And he's about selling his practice that's it's clearly not . This is not what medicine should be about. Don't go to his clinic. Of you do you will see for yourself. No Bueno I don't respect doctors to talk crazy to his workers on front of his patients
Dr. Shikh's office staff gets very happy when they see you have insurance and they charge it up exhorbitantly. They carged my insurance company over $600 for a simple office visit for couigh, runny nose, fever, sore throat. One x-ray was done and one shot of rocephin given. Sure I didn't have to pay, but I don't like my benefits used up willy-nilly.
I have debilitating back spasms and have been successfully treated for them. I had another terrible episode of back spasms while at work. The pain became worse as the day continued until it was unbearable. I called the Primary Care Center and was told to come right in. After a 30 minute wait I saw Dr. Shikh. I descbibed the pain, how it was caused and my past history with back spasms. He had me bend over in different directions until I had another severe back spasm. He seemed puzzled and told me he wanted to do x-rays. I was unable to lie down flat on the xray table because my muscles was clenched. He said to come back when I was able to do xrays. He prescribed me Celebrex for the pain and left. I couldn't afford the prescription because it cost $150 for 15 pills! So I spent the night in unbearable pain and missed work the next day. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. I would strongly advise against seeing this doctor if you have any type of injury.
They are so great about taking new clients and seeing you immediately. I had a situation that needed to ben handled as soon as possible, and when I called other doctors, I was told I had to wait 3 months or go to the ER. Dr. Shikh saw me within 1 hour and got everything done asap.
The best thing about this doctor's office is its flexibility in getting appointments or even just walking in. The office also has a lot of testing equipment in the office (xray, ekg, echocardiagram). Their website offers online appointment scheduling, but it hasn't worked for a while.
my insurance clearly state office visit is 15 but they insisted after treating to more then my insurance copay. and since 3monthns they keep stalling and not admit they stole my money or return it, doc is rude and doesnt know his stuff
