Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old son had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks. We were so scared, jumping to the worst conclusions. Dr. Shahin was the first doctor who really listened to my son, not just to us. He got down on his level, asked him questions in a way he could understand, and explained everything to us without making us feel rushed. The waiting area was packed that day, but once we were in his room, he gave us all the time we needed. It turned out to be something manageable, but the way he handled our fear meant everything. We left feeling like we had a partner, not just a prescription.
Severe abdominal pain. Admitted through emergency. Dr. Nooreyezdan Shahin took charge. Ordered the right scans quickly. Diagnosis was clear appendicitis. Surgery was scheduled without delay. Explained the procedure in plain terms. No unnecessary tests. Follow-up was direct. Recovery went as he said it would. Efficient and competent care.
I was quite nervous about my persistent fatigue. The hospital is a big place, and I was just another patient in the system. But Dr. Shahin has a very calm way about him. He didn't dismiss my concerns as just stress. He went through my history quietly, asked thoughtful questions, and laid out a simple plan for some tests. It wasn't anything dramatic in the end, which was a relief. His manner made a difficult process much easier to bear. I'm grateful for his kind attention.
Honestly, I'd been putting off getting this lump checked for months. Terrified of what it might be. From the minute I walked into Dr. Shahin's office, I felt a shift. He was so reassuring! He examined me, said 'Let's not imagine monsters until we have facts,' and got me in for a biopsy fast. The two-day wait for results was awful, but his nurse called me as promised. BENIGN! When I saw him for the follow-up, I was practically bouncing. He laughed and said he was happy to give good news. What a weight off! That guy is fantastic.
