In patients' words
"Dr. Shah looks at the charts completely. She pick up on a diagnosis which I was going to ask about but in a questioning voice said it out loud. It did not belong in my chart. She explains everything fully with facts then allows me to decide what I feel is right for me. She does not rush thru exams and listens to concerns."
— Patient review via LocalityBiz"Absolutely horrible doctors office paid 25$ before even seeing a doctor I will never return to this wretched place."
— Patient review via TrustReviewers.com"Pleasant person, but after seeing her for several years I found she missed some elements key to a thorough physical exam... I finally changed primary care docs because I believed if I had a really serious issue or got really sick she would either miss it altogether or figure it out when it was too late."
