My mother’s loyalty to this doctor almost killed her. I have personally seen him draw her blood not wearing gloves, shoving an old tissue box as a pillow under her head on the exam table, not giving her blood values to her even when she asked, just stating, “your blood work is fine,” and yelling at family members who questioned him regarding her care. While these issues are problematic, the biggest issue is that my mother was over-medicated to the point that it almost killed her. These were MULTIPLE medications that he prescribed for her. The amount of blood pressure medicine he put her on dropped her heart rate to 35. Her blood pressure dropped to 70/30 (all documented). She was rushed to the hospital where her blood was tested and her heart was tested, and it was found by the cardiologist there that she was on way too much heart medication. She was watched for several days and was slowly titrated on a different and lower dose of medication. Her hospital stay left her weak (she already used a walker prior to this) and she needed some in home physical therapy and a visiting nurse. After being presented with over 90 pages of records from her hospital stay, this doctor refused to sign the paperwork allowing her PT unless she came into the office to see him; an already extremely elderly, weak woman who could not walk on her own, who ended up in the hospital because of the medication he prescribed!! Her condition was explained to the office manager who was extremely condescending and argumentative. My mother thankfully realized her loyalty was ill-placed and has chosen to change doctors immediately. This physician has no hospital rights, which should already make you think twice. BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE!!!

Dr. Shaheen is the best there is, takes his time to see you. Actually listens to what you have to say, and has been spot on with all the diagnosis he has made for me so far. It's hard to find decent Drs in Central Jersey but Dr. Shaheen is the best!
