Patient Comments
One of the worst experiences I've had. I felt zero interest from my provider in helping me manage either expectations or my health, much less active discussion of lifestyle, dietary etc. [...] I don't know. It was just awful. [...] She seemed more interested in nodding to her students with some sly knowing glance than in my history or needs. In fact she never inquired as to my needs. The whole situation felt awful once she and her students entered the room. [...] I left feeling unseen and objectified. Ugh.

May 26, 2022
I found Dr. Shah to be very knowledgable and caring. My case just so happens to be very complex with many different aspects, so it is difficult to pinpoint a diagnosis and a path forwards. I believe it will be very important for all of my providers/Doctors to communicate and try to figure out what's currently happening. Because I don't know. [...]

Dr. Shah is always respectful and listens to my concerns. She explains treatment options and lets me make the final decision. If she has concerns with my decision on treatment, she expresses them in a clear and understanding way. I appreciate her respect immensely!
