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.

Dismissive of Post-RD Considerations
I consulted Dr. Shah for cataract surgery with a history of retinal detachment. Initially recommending a monofocal IOL for vision quality reasons, then switched to a Symphony EDOF IOL without discussing potential impacts on intraocular pressure or retinal stability - critical considerations for post-retinal detachment (RD) patients.When I scheduled a follow-up consultation to address these concerns, she claimed she didn't have my retinal surgeon's notes—which she never requested, despite being ready to schedule surgery - yet now they're essential to make the right choice. When questioned about appropriate IOL selection given my retinal history, she became visibly uncomfortable and abruptly ended our consultation rather than engaging with legitimate safety concerns.I feel a surgeon can only have a patient's best interests in mind when willing to thoroughly address relevant concerns and must admit when they're not qualified. Had I not discovered issues she would have operated.

Dr. Shah - a new patient visit
Impressed how thorough my husband’s eye exam was today. Dr. Shah took her time, explained everything, was open to questions and not rushed. The staff is friendly - efficient - office comfortable!
