About the provider

Abdel Rahim Abu Shtaiah, NP, provides care across family medicine with added focus in psychiatry, obesity, infertility, menopause, and PCOS. Patients often notice how he slows things down—listening closely, asking practical questions, and translating complex issues into clear next steps. He offers visits in English, Arabic, and Russian.

A Nurse Practitioner with 31 years of experience, he brings an MD background from the Soviet Union and a Doctorate in Medicine alongside his Family NP training. He is certified by AANP and FCMG.

Patients describe his approach as thorough and organized. He explains options plainly, checks for understanding, and builds plans that feel doable in real life—clinical, medication, and follow-up details laid out in a way that reduces uncertainty.

His motivation is rooted in problem‑solving that helps people: using analysis, communication, and structure to bring clarity when life feels complicated. A simple promise underscores that mindset: he honors your time—and if he’s late, he makes it right.
