About Ayesha Kulsum Shaikh, MD

One of the most rewarding things about my job is that we can improve my patient's quality of life while improving their symptoms. My goal is to give my patients the opportunity to spend more time with their family with symptom management and a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death. Addressing suffering involves taking care of issues beyond physical symptoms and helping their families who are facing problems associated with life-threatening illness. It prevents and relieves suffering through the early identification, correct assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, whether physical, psychosocial or spiritual. I hope to be a source of peace and hope for my patients in this very difficult time of their lives.
