Dr. Shah is inconsistent. He misdiagnosed me several times and despite me having faith in him initially, I would not have been alive today if I hadn't switched to a real doctor. His staff consists of MA's that should ne RN's, He's a business man and should not be practicing medicine.

Dr shah is amazing. He has been my physician for about five years now. I have never felt brushed off. He answers all my questions. Of course there is a need for tests, he is not gonna know just by looking at you. Can u tell someone has high cholesterol, cancer or immune diseases just by looking at them? That's right you cant, so tests are neccessary. You go to your Dr. To find out answers its not a guessing game.

I think Dr. Shah is an excellent doctor. He tells it like it is. Of course he has to run tests..He told me on the first visit that being a dr. is not rocket science. You have to go by your blood work. And from there, he tells you what you need to do. Get over it people. If you want someone to lie to you, go somewhere else.

TERRIBLE UNPROFESSIONAL RUDE ....My husband had a workman's comp injury that Dr Shah said workv keephim out at least 6 weeks. We went back 2 weeks later and Dr Shah said hes tired of all the paper work and sent him back to work.He even admitted my husband was still injured but was sick of paperwork.Still can't believe he did this. We are looking into contacting the medical board. Something needs to be done so he can not practice anymore. more and more horror stories about him.

Went to see this md for a second opinion for chronic back pain. When he questioned me about the type of meds I was on I indicated percocet. He YELLED right in my face, " I know what your problem is, your a drug addict !!!! And if you were Jesus Christ himself I would tell you the same .I thought my wife would fall off her chair. He screamed again "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?? I just want a second opinion because I don't feel like i'm getting better. I'm a 60 year old man I don't want to be on meds. We just walked out. I later found out from another md that I had advanced prostate cancer. Had an operation and now I have no pain. I don't blame him for the cancer but he sure as hell is an ass.... !

This man is runs test for everything!!! He bases all of his results off of test rather than common sense or research. Basically, he communicates that if it doesn't show up on a test, there is nothing wrong with you.

Never before was I expected to wait one hour then an additional half hour in the exam room. Never again. I heard him in the front office talking about how good the cheeseburger was that he was eating. I had rushed to my appointment from work without eating to ensure my prompt arrival.

EVER SINCE I TOLD DR. SHAH I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY INSURANCE AND I ONLY HAVE MEDICARE, HE ORDERS AN IN HOUSE TEST ON ME EVERY TIME I'M THERE. IT'S HIS WAY OF MAKING MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE FIVE MINUTES OF OFFICE TIME I RECEIVED. IF I ASK HIM A QUESTION, IT'S CONSIDERED DRAMA.

He seemed very rushed. The treatment he prescribed to me did not help, in fact it made my symtoms worse. I couldn't help but feel that Dr. Shah was nervous. He almost made me feel uncomfortable. He is just money hungry. I will never ever go back.

I must agree with the others that stated that in the beginning, Dr. Shah seems like an amazing, compassionate doctor, but after a few visits, you get kind of brushed off, as though his goal is just to gain new patients. He rushes you out of there and gives no opportunity to ask questions. He is also vague about test results - will not give actual numbers and what they mean. Also, his PA is LOUD! If I go into the walk-in area of the offices with explosive diarrhea, I do not need the whole city to hear about it!! Maybe he has gotten too busy. It's too bad, because for a while, I was actually able to say that I actually loved my doctor (not in a weird way, just that I thought he was THAT good!)
