Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I took a sleep study back in September and Dr. Shah ordered a sleep mask in October. Needless to say, I STILL HAVENT RECEIVED THE MASK!! the company they use for it sucks! I have mentioned that I havent received it, multiple times and the doctors office just tells me to call the sleep mask company. Are you kidding me?! They don't care about what happens next. Just want to order a bunch of tests and that's it. I'm looking into seeing a new PCP because I really can't risk my sleeping disorder anymore.

This office is a hot mess! Dr Shah is terrible she does not listen and doesn’t seem to care why your there. She keeps ordering the same test for no reason. Don’t ever trust her with you health

I saw Dr. Shah for 5 years prior to moving out of state and my son has seen her since he was 3 days old. She was always caring and understanding. She always took time to listen to my concerns and explained everything very well.

Horrible experience— everything I’ve read from the other negative reviews sounds right. Unprofessional, uncaring and arrogant. Staff is rude as well. Stay away!

Unhappy Patient in Lunenburg, MA – Jun 07, 2018

Dr Shah completely discounts whatever she's told. She seems to feel she's the only accomplished dr in the world. My first appointment with her, I told her I'm type 1 diabetic. She looked at me and said "No you're not, you're type 2." I explained that I'm not, I'm under the care of a truly world class endo and Dr Shah said, "Well I know you're type 2, I'd never listen to another dr tell me differently". Then she did unnecessary testing and found I'm type 1. She's horrible!

PATIENTS BEWARE. My experience was atrocious! I 1st met with her for a pre-physical & she spent the whole time typing. The later physical began with staff insisting rudely that I did not complete bloodwork which they later found out was misfiled. I spent the whole appointment repeating myself because she was either a) not listening, or b) was forgetting what I said. She focused on obscure concerns, spoke in circles, and contradicted herself; essentially, she sounded completely incompetent!

I have never had such a horrifying experience with a dr. in my entire adult life. I am writing to the board about her. I needed full blood panel during physical, never got it. I am on Humira for psorisis and psoriatic arthritis. I had a problem and she was suppose to report to Dermo. never did, so my psorisis flared so bad I need biopsis, (skin cancer) I had severe back pain, office manager came in and verbally abused me, raising my blood pressure to 200 . The Board will hear rest.

I am a nurse for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Dr. Shah has no compassion for my clients. She will only talk to the chaperone accompanying them, and barely looks at them. She won't sign ANY paperwork unless you have an appointment, so she can bill you for it. In my job I coordinate care for 70+ individuals who have 40+ physicians, and Dr. Shah is by FAR the worst.
