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.

STAY FAR AWAY
I ended up in the hospital 3 times in CHF. I told her I needed a referral for a cardiologist. I have been seeing one for 21 years now. Dr Shah refused to give me the referral I needed. She just wants the money for herself. NO SPECIALISTS is what she told me

I am very happy with Dr. Shah's treatment. She listened to my symptoms and took time to explain my condition well. I trust Dr. Shah with her judgement. She is highly professional and very helpful. I would like to recommend Dr. Shah to family and friends.

My mother was a patient, the day she passed away we asked the dr to put her in hosp, dr Shaw responded, there's no reason, my mother was clearly sick but she refused to listen to her and as a result I lost my mother that night during the night. I found her dead on her bedroom floor when the police called her,she said to,call hospice. My mom wasn't a hospice patient, the dr had her mixed up as she called it the,next morning. In my eyes I wouldn't let anyone I know go to her for care,too many pts.
