I have been a patient of Dr. Safwat Shaker since he started his practice. He is very thorough. His office staff is very efficient, helpful, and pleasant. His new office is great! I would recommend The Dr. to anyone looking for a new primary MD. I also like the convenience of Labcorp in the office.

I highly recommend Dr Shaker and team. I have seen Dr Safwat, Dr Mina and Dr David and all of them are extremely helpful and provide the best advices. They have been focused on my well being from day 1. Before seeing any specialist or even going through any surgery from a specialist, I always get Dr Shaker’s opinion.

Dr. Safwat Shaker has been my primary doctor for the past few years. He not only provides me with top-notch service and genuine care, he also refers me to top-notch specialists to ensure I am getting the appropriate medical attention for all my health issues. I suffer from diabetes, kidney failure, heart disease and gastritis. Two years ago my health was extremely and dangerously poor with these conditions. Today I feel much better. Although I am not "cured", Dr. Shaker is taking good care of me!

However, I am very happy & blessed to have been seen by Dr. Safwat Shaker.
He as always took his time, listened to my health concerns, went over my chart very carefully in my presence, addressed areas that need special attention
Very attentive & patient.
He’s a kind considerate physician who will explain how we are going to treat the issue.
I would highly recommend Dr. Shaker as a primary care physician.

Dr. Shaker is an excellent physician. I have been going to him for years now and I have not had one complaint yet. I wish he was open every day of the week though.

Parking is difficult, staff is rude, office is dated, and the doc himself is so cheap that he turns off his fax machine and won't mail anything to his patients (is postage that big of an expense?). Overbooks patients, but so does everyone else. About the only positive I experienced was relative ease of getting an appointment.

I meet Doctor Shaker in 2005, when I was looking for a quality physician to take care of my elderly sick mother who had a host of serious medical conditions. He has been my Doctor since then, I put my trust, and health in his hands, and his friendly professional staff at his office. He is a very component Doctor and individual.

I first learned of Dr Shaker from a co-worker approx. 20 yrs ago & has been an outstanding and very true professional. My husband is also his patient. He is very concerned about his patients. Follows up with blood work results. Request for test to be done when needed. When I'm not feeling well I can go right in and see him. His staff is sensational very pleasant, treat you like family and remember who you are when you return. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. SAFWAT SHAKER, MD AS A FAMILY DOCTOR!!
