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.

Misdiagnosis
While Dr. Shah took the time to explain her diagnosis to me, she misdiagnosed me with an incurable progressive eye disease. Thank goodness I went to see a specialist shortly after my visit with her as I was told I do not have what she said I did. She could have cautioned that she was seeing abnormalities with a recommendation to go to a specialist. I will not be seeing her again.

Caring doctor
Dr. Shah never rushes through her appointments. She helped me find the perfect contact lenses that would accommodate multiple eye issues. She never gave up to try to find the best solution.
