Dr. Shah is an exceptional physician. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely caring. What truly sets him apart is that he never gives up on his patients, he listens, investigates, and continues searching for answers instead of dismissing concerns, which is sadly not always the case in healthcare today. He takes the time to explain things clearly, is highly professional, and makes his patients feel supported and reassured throughout the process. I am truly grateful to be under his care and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate and dedicated doctor.

Disclosures

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
