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.

Needs improvement
At my most recent appointment with Dr. Shah, he came in to the room, did not say a word, and worked on his laptop for 2 minutes. he then asked how i was, without eye contact, and as i explained why i was there, his phone kept ringing. While i was speaking, without excusing himself, he answered the phone, interrupting me. I relayed my concerns, and i was shocked when i said that I was in the ER the week before, and he had not taken the time to read that in my chart prior to our visit. He then prescribed an anticoagulant, even though my CHAD2 VASC score being a male is 0, which puts me at a very low risk of stroke, with no discussion.

Excellent customer service from Dr. Shah and his staff. He explained my condition thoroughly and was not rushed. The office staff was very nice and helpful made me feel comfortable. The techs were also very informative as they explained what was being done.

Dr. Shah is such a talented doctor. He really cares about his patients and addresses their health concerns completely. He has a great attitude and always takes care of business. My entire family sees Dr. Shah and we are all so grateful to have found his office. His office staff is so friendly and always willing to help me out with questions about my care. I love seeing their smiling faces when I go to the office. His new office at Legacy Oaks is so clean and beautiful. Lots of easy to access and FREE parking! I highly recommend Dr. Shah and his lovely staff.

I cannot recommend this Doctor to any heart patient. He is curt and abrasive and not compassionate. You cannot get him on the phone and he will not return calls, Every communication must be channeled though either an unhelpful staff member or his useless patient portal. Don't waste your time and risk your health with this provider.

Dr. Shah sometimes appears to be too busy to spend any time with you. However, whenever I've asked him a question he always slows down to answer and explain my question. I recommended Dr. Shah to my husband after his heart attack and he has also been happy with Dr. Shah.

In unordinary situation, there was a storm and no electric in the office, the parking was flooding and some people were struck in the elevator. Dr. Shah made his patients and staff calm. He explained and drew a picture of my heart problem of the light of the windows. He was patient and explained my questions. His nurse, Amber, were very good of explaining of the surgery that Dr. Shah recommendation. (The wait was unusual, because of the unusual situation.)
