5.0 star star star star starFirst time meeting the doctor. I found his pleasant, very interested in my medical care and he took the time to read my medical history before I met with him. Dr Shah displays all the good qualities of a personal physician. Myself and my husband will trust our primary care with Dr Shah!

5.0 star star star star starUnlike my previous doctor, Dr Shah was courteous and professional. The reason why I left my previous doctor (Dr [full name]) was due to an injection of his political beliefs and rude behavior in a brash and unwelcome manner_an experience I did not ask for.

5.0 star star star star starHe took the time to listen to me and explain why he was doing what he was doing. He cares about you. Also took the time to explain about the medication he was giving you and that you might have some issues with the medication but he felt that taking the medication was better for a shorter time period than the side effects.

5.0 star star star star starThis was an appointment that established Dr. Shah as my new primary. He took the time to listen to everything I had to say, asked clarifying questions, thoroughly explained his rationale behind decisions and asked how I felt about the care plan. He also was very proactive with ordering additional labs and providing referrals that I need, which only furthered proved how supported and cared for I felt being seen by him.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Shah is unbelievable! The best doctor I've seen in years. Compassionate, understanding, and intelligent. He made me feel comfortable and confident. It was refreshing to be included in my health and not just lectured. Superb physician in every way.

5.0 star star star star starTook the time to learn and know about me. Really listened to what I had to say and cared about improving my health. Able to discuss things and bring them down to a non medical persons level of discussing things. Didn't feel like I was getting a ton of meaningless medical jargon.
