Dr. Rishad Shaikh

Dr. Shaikh is friendly and the staff in the office were all super professional and friendly. I was in and out within about 30 minutes. I know some people get thrown by a name that isn't American, but the doctor speaks with no accent. It was as good of an experience as getting a tooth pulled and preparation for a dental implant could be; I opted for the nitrous oxide and was glad I did. Five stars all around as good of an experience as dental surgery could be.

Highly recommend Dr. Shaikh! He performed my double jaw surgery and I loved his conservative approach! I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed and highly recommend seeing Dr. Shaikh!! I was extremely nervous since I had been told by other doctors at different places that in doing my teeth extraction, I had a slight chance of becoming paralyzed in my lower face since my bottom wisdom teeth were so close to the nerve line. I came to see a new doctor at a new location (Midwest Oral Maxillofacial & Implant Surgery in St. Peters - Dr. Shaikh) and his WONDERFUL assistant Matt after hearing this news to get a second opinion and WOW was it the best thing I did. Dr. Shaikh completely reassured me that in no way was I going to be paralyzed because the nerve line would only possibly make me become temporarily/permanently numb, but chances were very very slim since I am young and in good health (and he's very good at his job), and nerve lines had nothing to do with motor function. SO, after doing some serious crying in front of them, I got my surgery done and have ZERO NUMBNESS afterwords!!

My daughter just had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Sheikh and I have to say this was the worst patient care experience I have ever had in my 50 years. The consultation was a video to watch. No discussion of her specific situation no care or concern after surgery. No patient check in call day of surgery or anytime there after. My daughter started experiencing extreme pain on day three still under narcotics and we were told pain management was necessary. She suffered three days and three nights of excruciating pain calling the exchange multiple timesBy day five post surgery her dentist stepped in and found out she had 2 dry sockets and an infection. Did not get a call from this oral surgeon until an hour after dental appointment- five days after her surgery and multiple days of trying to get help.

My daughter just had her wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Sheikh and I have to say this was the worst patient care experience I have ever had in my 50 years. When you go in for a consultation all you get is a video to watch. Then a girl comes in with a credit card machine and in front of your child ask for payment right there without any options of payment plans etc. The office had our insurance information for a month and said they were calling us to let us know what would be owed and that was never taken care of. The doctor came in and asked if we had any questions about the video. Of course we did not it was very clear. He did not discuss what he saw on her x-rays I asked and he said it was a very standard removal. I asked about other things and he said I would get instruction after her surgery. After the surgery, the nurse went through one or two things super fast and gave me papers and just said “follow the instructions” and go get your car. We had no patient check up call the day of surgery and no follow up afterwards. I called the next day with a few questions. We followed all instructions. On day three my daughter, with narcotics, was experiencing very high levels of pain. We were basically told that her pain tolerance was probably low and she just needed to manage the pain. This was New Year’s Eve and within a few hours the office was closed and we were left on our own. Her pain increased throughout the New Year’s Eve night and New Year’s Day. We called the exchange three times and was constantly told that we needed to manage pain. We continue to call and explain that the pain was getting worse and nothing was being done but prescribing Tylenol and ibuprofen. We were under the impression that the doctor was being informed of our needs. At the third night of no pain and no sleep we desperately called the exchange and received no response at all. At this point I also called my daughters dentist who called us a immediately got us in first thing in the morning on a Saturday for an emergency visit to find out that she had 2 dry sockets and an infection. His first question was didn’t she get an antibiotic when they did the surgery? That was denied us even though I requested it. The call three days ago with high levels of pain under narcotic treatment should have been taken care of and should have been addressed immediately. The oral surgeon finally decided to call us an hour after we saw the dentist. He said that he was never given any information that we had ever called in the past three days this was his first acknowledgment of our problem. The neglect and lack of patient care is over the top. I would suggest absolutely nobody get care from this office. Of course her dentist is going to call us later today to see how she’s doing and then check again on Monday.

I was not impressed. He did not appear to want to bother with my daughter. He explained away her symptoms of pain and just didn’t seem to be concerned at the severity of her distress. He ignored our claims that we had already tried therapy and splints when younger, but things had only gotten worse. He said that was all he had to offer at this point. That she was young Caucasian, and female, which is common for TMJ Upon pursuit of answers to what the cause of her pain is, we’ve discovered through MRI and CT scans that she has degenerated discs in her jaw and Avascular Necrosis (bone death) on one side. So glad we didn’t give up searching for help. Dr. Shaikh did not seem concerned at all.

I have been scared of visiting dentists. But my experience with Dr. Rishad Shaikh has been the complete opposite. He did a wonderful job with my wisdom teeth removal.

Dr. Shaikh is knowledgeable and compassionate. Happy my dentist referred me to him and would go back if I needed any other work done.

Dr. Shaikh is one of the kindest, and knowledgeable doctors I know. I've had chronic facial pain for years, and he has done whatever he can to find a solution. Very friendly, and takes time to listen to what you have to say. I highly recommend him.

I'm approx. 1 week out from my wisdom teeth removal (6x teeth). Procedure went perfectly--the bleeding stopped very soon after the surgery, no pain during surgery or subsequent to it, I was even able to enjoy some parts of lunch and dinner with my family that night. I felt that not only was Dr. Shaikh a perfectly efficient surgeon, but he was very good at communicating the necessary medical information prior to and after surgery (he also makes courtesy calls). Staff were additionally wonderful.

My teen daughter was alot less anxious about having her wisdom teeth removed after the consultation with Dr. Shaikh. I was very pleased with the quick procedure, minimal pain, and recovery of less than a week. The office staff was friendly and helpful to arrange a fast appt. I'm happy we chose Dr. Shaikh for her surgery and will highly recommend him to others. Debbie S
