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.

Would Highly Avoid
I arrived to the office for a visit for a consultation 15 min before they opened. I was told the Dr. would arrive at 11am. After filling out paperwork, I was ushered into a room where I was told to wait- the Dr. would arrive shortly. An hour and fifteen minutes later, Dr. Shah arrived at 12:15pm. He immediately walked into the room and began asking me questions, without having ever introduced himself. He then told me to “drop my pants” without even letting me put a gown on. The door to the room was not even closed. He then read my Ultrasound report and said I needed another Ultrasound because nothing was wrong with me. Clearly if he had taken the time to actually read the report he would have seen something was very wrong with me. I then demanded he read the report again and he then said I needed surgery without giving me an explanation why. He also asked me what I did for a living 5 times in a matter of 30 minutes. The office staff was disorganized too. Would stay away from this place

This practice is still in the 20th century
Dr. Shah is 84 years old. All his office staff are around his age. They do not accept credit cards. All forms are filled in by hand, and prescriptions are written by hand, thus necessitating bringing them into the pharmacy and waiting (rather than electronically transferred. Receptionist puts all calls on speakers, so waiting patients get to hear a stranger's medical history. (At least I didn't hear any PII for that guy.) Does painful procedures without explaining or warning. All this made me uneasy but maybe some people like old-fashioned ways.

Dr. Shah is a wonderful doctor. My husband was in an urgent need of help and Dr. Shah and his staff came through. They were caring, knowledgeable, professional, and accommodating.

I was impressed with Dr. Shah, he took the time to listen to my health issues and recommended a non surgical procedure for me. When I had a problem on a Sunday he called me back in 15 minutes. He is a caring and empathic doctor. I’ve recommended him to several friends already.

Rather than treating the painful problem that was the reason for my visit, Dr. Shah tried to sell me an expensive treatment for a problem that was already being watched by my GP and not of immediate concern. He discounted my pain which had already been verified by a visit to an ER. A day before my examination by Dr. Shaw, blood work in an ER showed no infection; the day after Dr. Shah's examination, blood work in an ER showed infection.

I am dealing with kidney stones, bladder stones and an enlarged prostate. Dr. Shah has been involved since 911 took me to the ER with excruciating pain. Dr. Shah removed kidney stones, removed half of my bladder stones and is reducing the size of my prostate. The Dr. has come back to the hospital from his home on one occasion, called me at home to check my comfort level (on Sunday) and gone far beyond anything I have ever expected from a Dr. This man is the greatest.
