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.

Follow up appointments for spinal fort stimulator
Dr. Shah is one of the most kind surgeons that I have ever gone to. I have been seeing Dr. Shah for about 20 years with spine issues from osteoarthritis. He always takes his time and wants to pick the best option for me. Once on permanent disability, Dr. Shah and his pain management team were able to help me get my life back through surgery, pain management injections, spinal cord stimulator and therapy. Thank you for actually listening to me Dr. Shah and thank you for providing such beautiful facilities in Flint Mi, IINN is looking great.

DO NOT go here if you have any kind of state aid and NEED surgery, they won't schedule you bc your insurance doesn't pay enough even if you need surgery.. after waiting 2months for a surgical date they said they'd give me (they do take the ins, so does the facility), they said no bc they can't make enough money off of me and I need this surgery to live my life and help take my pain away, and take malfunctioning hardware out of my body at 30yo, but these heartless people could careless. I've had nothing but problems since I stepped foot in their facility and it hasn't stopped yet.... None of their staff listen to anything you have to say when it pertains to your case and how you need to proceed; not the dr, not the scheduler, and god forbid any of the staff actually know they have a manager on staff or know how to contact them or even forward any problems to that person so that unhappy patients can potentially be helped before it's too late..

I had the worst experience at the hospital when my face and left side of my body went numb and weak. Being young no one believed me that there was an actual issue. I was dismissed until Dr. Shah was consulted and ordered a bunch of tests to find the culprit. If it wasn’t for him I highly doubt they would have figured out what was wrong with me.

I found out that I have a disc herniation in my mid back. Dr. Shah recommended a basic treatment plan to help me get better. After manipulative therapy, physical therapy, and postural correction, I am longer experiencing tingling in my feet and pain in my back. Dr. Shah is honest and has a great bedside manner
