In patients' words
"Dr. Shah has helped with my pain when other physicians failed! I do not trust many physicians to stick needles into my back, but I trust Dr. Shah - and I have trusted him for over 2 years."
— Healthgrades"Curt and rude. I recently saw Dr. V at Hershey Pain Clinic, as I was on severe pain for many months and was appalled at how curt, rude and uncaring he was. Apparently he didn't have time to talk to me because I was told to Google my diagnosis."
