The guy is a pro and under rated. He should get a raise. Very skilled in his discipline.
Dr. Sheikh is an extraordinary medical provider that is in a class of his own. In a world of pills and surgeries, his discipline practices an organic, natural approach to pain relief.

Dr Sheikh is the most caring doctor I have had at the UofU since last century, highly recommended!!
He spoke to me in a manner that was easy to understand and his explanations were good.

Caring, considerate and competent
Dr. Sheikh conducted a super thorough OMT evaluation and gave me options for healing that I have not been given in other settings. By the end of the evaluation, I could tell this was more holistic and healing oriented. I have immense faith that working with him will bring me more function without procedures, which is what I am hoping for.
Dr. Sheikh is kind and compassionate. He clearly knows his stuff and his holistic approach to treating pain gives me hope that my situation will improve greatly.

What an incredible physician. Thanks for taking such good care of our kiddo.
Selim is truly knowledgeable regarding his practice and his ability to assist me. I just finished radiation therapy for breast cancer so to have someone help with some of the pain issues makes a big difference in my functionality.
Dr Sheikh quickly identified the problem and made great progress on my first visit. He is better than any other doctor I've seen regarding my problem.
Dr Sheikh was excellent: kind, thoughtful, thorough. His knowledge and expertise were just what I hoped for. At the conclusion of the treatment today, I had perceptible relief from some of the persistent tingling and pain in one of my hands. I hope for / expect positive results from the future appointments scheduled.

Dr Sheikh is the best of the best. He knows his field very well and is willing to share his knowledge with his patients.

He was very polite, caring, and was very sorry that who ever scheduled the appointment only allowed 30 min rather than 60 needed for him to treat me.
He seemed to genuinely care about my injuries and pain that I'm experiencing. He had great eye contact. He was a great listener. He performed some procedures that actually reduced my pain level significantly.
Listens and is extremely capable with discussion and treatments.
Works wonders! I immediately feel the pain and pressure start to release and lessen after every single session. I walk out of every appointment feeling better than when I had gone in.
The UofU pain management clinic are unfortunately inexperienced compared to Dr. Sheikh's knowledge and skill set in the ability to relieve serious pain. The results are long lasting as well. I recommend Dr. Sheikh to anyone who is experiencing significant pain.
