  16. I worked with Dr Shiekh and over the years we became close. I always will remember our conversations weather they were about life and our love for certain coffee or reaching goals to always keep pushing. He certainly had a keen sense of fashion. We were obsessed with hoka sneakersand shoes.. To recieve a compliment from this man was such an amazing experience. My heart weights heavy for his beautiful family. He is greatly missed. Rest in peace my friend. And may your family find the way to keep you forever in their hearts.

  17. Terrible loss for those of who knew Mobeen both professionally and personally.

    My heart goes out to Abeera and the boys.

  18. Dr Sheikh was my doctor and I can’t express how sad I feel for his family and his many patients. He was such a competent and caring doctor and just a good human being. I have never felt this way about a doctor and probably never will.

  19. Indeed a very tragic news and devastating for prof shahreyar’s family. My heart goes out to the bereaved family. I had never met Mobeen but I was prof shahreyar’s registrar in Lahore in 1986, he is such a kind, caring and a wonderful cardiologist. May Allah grant Mobeen the highest place in jannah and bless his family to bear this irreparable loss.

My deepest condolences to the family. May God’s light shine down and bring peace to those he left behind and may his light continue to radiate in heaven above. Your memory will live on through those you have healed and all those lives you have blessed. May he walk among the angels.

Steve and Carol Twombly and I, all patients of Dr. Sheikh, will miss him enormously. Ted Russo and Carol Twombly

  27. I’m so sad to hear this news. Dr Sheikh is my cardiologist and was so lucky to have him. He diagnosed my heart issue and saved me. My prayers and heartfelt condolences to his love ones. Its heartbreaking….Rest in peace. Dr Sheikh…

  28. I’m heartbroken to hear of Dr. Sheikh’s passing. Dr. Sheikh was my cardiologist for the past 7 years. He was such a kind, loving soul. “Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts….and we are never the same” (Franz Shubert). Dr. Sheikh is one of those people for me. May his family, friends, colleagues and love ones accept my heartfelt prayers and offerings of sympathy. Rest is peace dear Dr. Sheikh🙏

  29. I was so shocked to hear about the tragic death of Dr. Sheikh. He had been my cardiologist in Beverly for several years and he was one of the nicest doctors I had ever met. I always praised him for keeping me alive and when I had my appointments with him we always ended talking about his sons and how wonderful they were. I can’t believe it. It is just so sad. May he rest in peace.

  30. Such tragic news. I felt so very fortunate to have Dr. Sheikh as my cardiologist. He was the epitome of competence and caring. His enthusiasm for my well-being and his interest in me as a person, and not just a patient, made it a joy to see him for my annual appointments. His energy was infectious. My deep sympathies to his family and loved ones.

  31. Dr. Sheikh was my cardiologist for the past 5 years. I’ve never met a more kind, compassionate doctor/ person who truly cared for each and everyone of his patients. My heart is broken. My sincere condolences go out to his family, friends, co-workers, and all who knew this wonderful gentle soul. Dr. Sheikh, rest in peace my friend. You will be dearly missed. 🙏💔♥️♥️ D. Panunzio

  32. I am deeply shocked, dismayed and horrified to learn today of the sad death of my dear friend Dr Shahryar Ahmed Sheikh’s son Dr Mobeen Ahmed in Beverly, US. Dr Shahryar is the very best cardiologist today in Pakistan. I met him 8 years back and since then he has been my cardiologist and life saver. I was so taken up by his sweet nature and dedication with quick diagnosis after my heart bypass intially, as a doctor. Since then, with me as a PhD research specialist, we have together worked over my health problems. Thanks to him, I find myself not only in excellent health where I thought there was no hope for me to survive much where other doctors in Pakistan had failed me after my heart bypass operation at the PIC, Lahore by the Chief Surgeon Dr Waheed there in May 2013 (who literally butchered me during my operation and has been duly sacked now). I have read the comments above and am deeply moved by how everybody has praised Dr Mobeen apparently, a great son and cardiologist of a great father and cardiologist Dr Shahryar Ahmed Sheikh. May Dr Mobeen’s soul rest in peace and may Allah give him the very best place in heaven as rightly deserved by him. May Allah bring peace on my friend Dr Shahryar Ahmed Sheikh (I hope to see him soon), and give him the strength to go on and continue the work of his beloved son with greater care, zeal and with added enthusiasm towards his patients thereby, adding to his dear son’s continued and now greatly missed dedication to such a nobel profession. Ameen….Dr Arshad Husain PhD.
