Dr Nishith Shah is excellent and have a good approach to me. In a manner that i can comprehend and reciprocate . This was my first visit to see him and i have no regrets i changed my pcp over to him. I am also in healthcare and go to multiple hospitals and rehabs. But compared to other MD i have deal with over 25 years. His is excellent.

Unlike 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.

He 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.

This 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.

Disclosures

Nishith A. Shah, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

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.
