Joint Hypermobility and EDS Clinic 15375 Barranca Parkway, Irvine, CA 92618

"As someone with hypermobile EDS, I’ve had a great experience at Dr. Shakib’s practice. For two years I’d been in active chronic pain, as well as a lifetime of joint-related injuries. I went to over 10 doctors (pain management, upper extremity specialists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists) and was told by one after another that nothing is wrong with me or that I was a “medical mystery”. She is the first health practitioner who has understood how my body works. Her and Desiree have been able to provide guidance and care for me as I navigate my world and daily life tasks. They listen to my experiences and take me seriously. I appreciate their philosophy of not wanting their patients to be uninformed and dependent upon others in the healthcare industry to be in good health.. they want each person to become “an expert in their own body”. This is profound!! Also shoutout to Carolyn, the admin, is the absolute best and she is prompt, professional and very kind."

"I have been working with Dr. Shakib for a couple months now. I am so thankful I found her when I did, I was at the end of my rope with my joint pain and has no other practitioner to help support me. I am extremely picky on who I let touch my body since I have been hurt in the past and injuries tend to never go away once I have them. I drive over an hour to her office even though driving hurts my joints and causes anxiety, she is well worth it. Dr. Shakib is not only extremely knowledgable, dedicated and passionate about her work but also very wise in how she delivers her treatments. She looks at every body with fresh eyes and caters the treatments to exactly what you body needs. She also explains everything she is asking you to do so you understand why your body is how it is and how to guide it back to homeostasis. As a hyper mobile EDS patient I will never do back flips on a trampoline, walk on my hands or sit in pigeon pose again which is humbling for me but those aren't my goals anymore. My new goals are to always listen to my body and live a life as close to pain free as possible. I can't say enough about Dr. Shakib and her staff. Everyone is warm, kind, friendly and truly cares. I am so blessed I found them."
