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.

Dr. Shah listens to your concerns and explains what is happening with your body (and brain) well. She does not “push” medicines, but allows you the option of trying alternative remedies if practical.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shah?
I have been seeing Dr. Shah for years and I just feel she just prescribes medications and does not treat patients. She does not take her time to treat and build a rapport and sometimes doesn't even give a full 10 minutes to her patients. I am currently looking for a new doctor and would not recommend her. If you are looking for a more caring physician who builds rapports and actually treats and not push medication on you please look elsewhere.
