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.

Very trustworthy, honest, and friendly. He did an excellent job on my Iris fixation. I wish I would have used him for my cataract surgery to begin with. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Shah came highly recommended by our ophthalmologist. He performed two surgeries on my husband. He was very thorough and reassuring which meant a lot to us because my husband only has one eye. His office staff was very friendly and professional. He seems to love what he does and it shows. He was never in a hurry.
