How likely are you to recommend Dr. Shekhar?
I thought that I would never find a Pediatrician in NC that I liked. She was recommended by a family friend and we are so grateful for her!! She is very knowledgeable, listens to what you have to say and is very thorough. She is fantastic and has a wonderful bedside manner as well. I would recommend Dr. Shekhar to anyone in need of a pediatrician (and have). I don't think that we would be so happy and healthy without her.
