Dr. Shah took time to explain my condition and treatment options and answer all my questions. I never felt rushed and feel that I can ask additional questions or get more information if necessary to make decisions about my treatment options.
July 2023
The experience with the Dr was beyond Very Good, the listening, putting ones stress at ease, the compassion and understanding with including you in the treatment plan is excellent. The Dr talks to you "not" at you is how well you are treated and listened to.

I like Dr. Shah very much [...]
May 2023
Explanation of medical condition and treatment plan was provided and time frame was explained
April 2023
I have an odd and rather uncommon issue, and not only was I taken seriously by Dr. Shah, he spoke with a colleague and developed a plan of action that would resolve the problem. My previous provider did NOT send the medical records and I wasn't able to access them through my patient portal, but even without this information Dr. Shah was able to formulate a loose plan of attack that really secured my confidence in him.
April 2023
Medications not an issue at time of visit. Dr. Shah made sure I understood the decision he made & that I was OK with it.
March 2023
Loved Dr. Shah. Wish he would perform my surgery.

Pure and simple :: Dr. Shah is excellent!!!
June 2022
When Dr. R. Shah made rounds the morning after surgery, he asked me about a family member we had talked about a month before at my referral visit. That was a wonderful that he remembered the topic.
March 2022
The doctor is always pleasant when I talk to her. She is very thorough with my care. I feel like I can ask questions at anytime during our visit, if I am not sure of something she said to me and she is happy to explain it.
February 2022
Very nice and helpful
