Reviews of Institute For Specialized Medicine
"after going to an untold amount of doctors for help for over 20 years, it took Dr Shikhman to figure out i had chronic lead poisoning. i will forever be thankful to him for figuring it out and treating me. he’s also a lyme literate doctor and has helped me address the lyme, bartonella and babesia tick borne illnesses. i call him a symptom machine because all you gotta do is be clear with him about your symptoms and he will figure it out. use his portal to communicate because he is a busy man and he’s managing a lot of patients. i’m keeping him as my primary care doctor because i trust him. i have made huge strides in the last year and that’s because i was really sick and unable to advocate for myself… yet he took over my healthcare and stayed on top of things even when i was having a hard time speaking. i will recommend him to everyone. he’s very scientific and one shouldn’t dismiss him simply because you don’t believe he has a good bedside manner. he takes care of business."
"Office lacks good customer service. I had a very rude encounter w/the office staff, and have found they really need customer service training. Showed up for an appt. recently (been going 3 yrs and lots $$$$ paid to them), to be scolded for not wearing a mask, told to wait outside for them to bring me one, and told me to bring one in the future, that the office will start charging for them. Even though hospitals have stopped requiring them. Didn’t argue (& not anti mask, tho no one is wearing them anymore ?!) but, was rude. By the way, it was 1st time I showed up not wearing one since the pandemic. Mid level PA staff, doesn’t have Shikhman’s knowledge base. Also, their infusion staff are rude and give you the runaround. Haven’t been able to get an IV with them in years! Pros/Cons: Easy to get an appointment as long as you have insurance they’ll accept, and they accept Tricare. Dr. Shikhman is good at diagnosis (does muscle testing -is spot on) and is herbal medicine savvy to an extent, if you’re starting out in your mystery illness journey. His bedside manner is cold & he’s not the best communicator. Can tell he cares though. I don’t totally blame him, this doesn’t come with easy answers. He is a very busy man, and is learning, but, he needs to address patient’s terrain instead of just focusing eradicating infection. He’s a straight shooter, so is this review. Recommend w/reservations."
"I was really excited to work with this place after having been referred by my naturopath and just finding out I had an autoimmune disease. I was intrigued by the integrated approach and willing to drive over an hour for appointments. I didn't get past setting up an initial appointment due to how awful and rude the office manager was. I asked simple questions regarding insurance so that I didn't waste my time calling back. The receptionist did not understand my questions, repeatedly had to put me on hold, and rather than coming on and asking for clarification, the office manager picked up the phone and started screaming at me about their office policy and upon me interrupting to ask her to stop yelling I was told to let her finish and that she was not raising her voice. They clearly have no concept of customer service and she does not apparently know the volume of her own voice. I got off the phone shaking, which ironically is not great for some of the diseases they claim to treat. Wish I had read these reviews first."
"I think the doctor and assistants here really do want their patients to get better, but I do not trust their guidance after multiple visits for months, and I cannot recommend Dr. Alex Shikhman and team to anyone who is looking for treatment based in peer-reviewed medical science. Multiple times, the Dr and team recommended diets, supplements, and antibiotics for "illnesses" that no other doctor believed existed based on my labs, putting me on multi-month antibiotics with naseau side effects and diets that made my quality of life worse. They also make you pay for multiple $500 stool sample tests not covered by insurance, to receive poop test results that major certified GI doctors around the country do not believe to be useful. They are also now making patients pay to communicate with doctors, something I've never encountered in any medical system, and the doctor does not do telehealth. The PA Neenah Grade spent time answering any question I had, but she shared medical information that I couldn't corroborate with research in journals. If you are desperate for a solution to a complex illness and have gone literally everywhere else, perhaps it can't hurt to hear these alternative recommendations. Otherwise I recommend going to institutions like Scripps or UCSD for specialists in rheumatology/GI/immunology."
"I have been going to Dr. Shikhman for 12 years. I have found him to be consistent and thorough with his treatment. My condition has improved greatly over time, thanks to his recommendations for the appropriate medications, vitamins and nutritional referrals. It is not an easy fix when you have an autoimmune condition, but the reason why I have continued to stay with this practice is because Dr. Shikhman continues to thoroughly research the most safe and effective therapeutic treatments. He answers my questions and spends time going through the concerns I have related to my condition. I highly recommend Dr. Shikhman as a rheumatologist."
