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.

Office Visit
Dr, Shah is personable and friendly, does not wear a white coat & treats patient with interest rather than disinterested in the human aspect. He shows empathy and wants to hear the patient rather than dismissing them in a hurry. He gave me a hearing test in the office to determine if I needed to see an audiologist. He discussed the results of the hearing test and what to expect from the referring specialist. I asked him to look at my ingrown toe nail. He informed me he would be able to do surgery himself on the toe if I decided that is what I wanted. He showed concern for my advanced age & talked to me about how I am coping and what resources I had available to make my life safe. He even talked to me about getting a dog for company. Thank you Dr. Shah.

Been my doctor since 2016
If we hold a mirror up to our face and ask the following questions: Have I ever been late more than 10x throughout my lifetime? Have I been disorganized more than 10x throughout my lifetime? If the answer is yes, then you are honest and see past flaws. If you answer no, you are being dishonest and are leaving no room for error in anyone. The most relevant thing to note is not policing flaws about Dr. Shah or his office but to bring light that he values the level of care and service he provides while practicing his profession. He will continue to be my primary doctor until he retires :)

I have been seen Dr. Shah for over 10 years. I really like his staff, he takes time with you to explain what is going on and what needs to be done.

The office has no organization. They are unable to communicate simple messages from staff to staff and will go weeks without responding to patients. Would never recommend this dr office.

Dr. Shah is an excellent family Doctor. He is always interested in how the family is doing. He has always been able to talk with my teen age sons in a way that will make them feel comfortable and open with him. If we have any questions he has always taken the time to address our questions fully.

I absolutely love my family doctor (Dr. B. Shah). He is on top of my care and ensures that any pending steps I need to take of for my well being are addressed. He takes the time to listen to any questions I have about my illness and offers his advise. I have not had a doctor in over tens years that I can actually say I would recommend to others but with Dr. B. Shah I'll gladly refer him to anyone. Dr. Shaw treats you with respect and he is very kind. I highly recommend him.

Had what may be the worlds laziest physical and another issue checked on. The entire time I felt like I was inconveniencing the doctor. Id asked questions, share observations, and tried levity and was met either with silence or the shortest possible responses. Im scared and embarrassed and youre acting like im an annoyance. I had blood work done to check on a potentially serious issue which the cause of needs to be identified. I did not receive a call with results nor 1 to schedule a followup.
