Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Accommodated all my requests, efficient scheduling
Got appointment scheduled in a timely manner, prep was straight forward as expected, team onsite were pleasant, efficient and empathetic. All in all, easy in and out (no pun intended)!

Top Notch Care
Dr Shaw has been my doctor for 10 years and Dr Bhuva before him. I had Barrett's Esophagus with High Grade Dysplasia and had 2 Halo procedures that basically stopped me from getting cancer. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate my doctors here. Since then I have to go in for check ups and EDG's every couple years. I have never had any problems, ever. The intake staff and nurses and doctors are all very nice and very professional. My last visit I also did my 10 year routine colonoscopy. Although the prep is not pleasant, it is necessary to do. All is well this time! I would totally recommend Dr Shaw and GI Partners of IL for any of your gastro needs. You won't be disappointed! Thank you again Dr Shaw and staff for a great experience for taking care of my health.

Nice Staff, Nice Doctor
Follow-up colonoscopy for previously discovered (and resolved) issue. Very nice facility, excellent staff and doctor who explained the process and findings. Will happily continue with Dr. Shah. P.S. Make your colonoscopy better by requesting Clenpiq and paying attention to your diet before your procedure, ie, switching to a Low Residue diet early. This is a procedure where you want the best possible information which you get by doing your part.

Caring Doctor and Staff
Dr. Shah and his staff were very kind and caring during my visit. The nurses . Anna and Holly, answered all my questions about my procedure. My procedure was done on time. Lois, who administered the anesthesia, explained everything clearly. Dr. Shah also explained his findings clearly.

From Caring to Rude and Abrasive
My son has been going to Dr. Shah since 2018 and before today I would have said he was a great doctor who really cared about his patients. The man we saw today was not even a tiny resemblance to the Dr. my son loved. My son has so many health issues and his GI issues are just one of his many health issues. My son was asking questions trying to understand IBS and how it relates to the symptoms he is having. Dr. Shah was rude and dismissive. I asked about an over the counter medicine I recently heard about and he flew off the handle saying that he doesn't recommend it because it is expensive and we weren't even paying our bills to his practice for awhile. My son sees about 6 different doctors and the bills can be overwhelming at times but there was no value in that statement other than whatever satisfaction he felt from attacking one of his patient's finances. I don't know what happened to this Dr or how he became so cruel and uncaring but I can no longer recommend him.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shah?
He seemed like a pleasant enough man but my encounter with him was very brief. Went in for a colonoscopy. I saw him for less than five minutes after the procedure was over. Pretty much all he said was a polyp was removed, did not look cancerous but wait for biopsy results. The rest of the staff was awseome, very friendly, especially nurses Ashley & Holly. What bothered me the most about this experience was the Covid test. I was fine with taking one, totally understood the need for it, so prior to my procedure, I had one done on my own, thought I was being proactive. When speaking with the office a few days before my procedure, they reminded me I needed to get one done. Told them I already did and was told that the rapid test wasn't good enough and I had to have one done through their office. I had to take time off of work to go and have it done and they used THE EXACT SAME TEST. The rapid test is still a nasal swab which doesn't go as deep. Not understanding that at all.

Dr. Shah's practice contacted me to schedule a 5 year colonoscopy follow-up. He and his staff were professional, friendly and efficient. The facilities were modern, clean and well-organized, and COVID protocols were followed. All staff members communicated clearly and thoroughly. I highly recommend Dr. Shah and his staff.

Dr. Shah and the staff at the Pepper Road facility were excellent. Both my husband and I recently had screening procedures. They took extra steps to ensure our safety during COVID which we really appreciate. The staff were awesome - Margie, Joan, Alicia, Lois explained everything about the procedures, made sure we understood and made the experience as fun and relaxed as could be. Thank you very much.

The entire staff was more friendly than you can imagine. Check-in was quick, even in this Covid environment. Wait time for my procedure was brief as the office called in advance to notify me they were running about 30 minutes behind schedule. Can't ask for a better G.I. experience!
