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 has an incredible ability to explain complex medical issues in simple terms. Her empathy and understanding went a long way in alleviating my anxiety, offering not just medical solutions but genuine support. The competence and kindness doesn’t end with Dr Shah, the entire staff mirrored the excellence. Having a great physician like Dr Shah has a positive impact on my overall well being. It is rare in today’s fast paced society to find such a dedicated and compassionate healthcare team. Many thanks to Dr Shah and her staff for their outstanding work in this community.

Nilam Shah is the best
My experience with Dr. Shah was wonderful! Her kind demeanor and pleasant atmosphere made for an AWESOME experience. She makes funny jokes and calms me when I am scared. She also gives me great advice on being a teenager and entering adulthood smoothly. I highly recommend!

Smart, articulate, caring, up-to-date, respectful, and awesome! So glad we found this "primary" physician. Since I am not a fan of the medical industry in general, it is very hard for me to find someone I trust and respect. Dr. Shah is at the top of the list. Certainly a hidden gem. Brief wait, accurate diagnosis, great preventive advice, takes her time and makes you feel welcome and comfortable. She sets the bar for good medical care. Highly recommended.

I have been with Dr. Shah over 10 years, even before she had her own practice. She is a versatile and able to treat many types of various illnesses and well informed on updated material. I cannot imagine using anyone else as my P.C.P.

I have been seeing Dr. Shah for 8 years. When my mother moved to Saint Petersburg I took her to see Dr. Shah. My daughter has gone with me when I took my mother to several of her appointments. My daughter wishes Dr. Shah would move her practice to my daughter's city in North Carolina. I like that Dr. Shah is open to using homeopathic treatment first if she feels it could be effective. I like her as a doctor and a person. I am confident that you will, too.
