My son has been seeing Dr. Ayesha for his asthma since he was five. We’re at Apollo Children’s so often the staff knows us. What I value most is that she remembers him. She knows his history without always checking the file, asks about school, and adjusts his plan based on how he’s really doing, not just a quick check. It’s that consistency over the years that lets me sleep at night.

After weeks of our baby being fussy and not feeding well, we got an appointment with Dr. Shahnaz. She figured it out as a minor reflux issue. The relief was instant! She gave us a simple plan, and it worked within days. You can tell she loves what she does—she was almost as happy as we were when we reported back that he was finally comfortable.
