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.

Dr Shah is an awesome surgeon he explains everything and makes sure I understand. He gives me every possible option. And, I am very comfortable with him and confident in him as well.

Dr Shah was professional and caring! He seems highly knowledgeable. He took time to assess my health concerns and completed some diagnostic activities to help determine further diagnostic testing to assist in determining treatment needed. I look forward to working with Dr. Shah treating my shoulder, arm, and hand concerns. Thank you Dr. Shah!
