I thought the (INAUDIBLE) was very good.
All the staff and residents were wonderful. I found Dr. Shah to be rushed. While I know he comes very highly recommended and has helped many people, I found him to be curt and glib. I did not feel like I had all my questions answered. When I asked him what we should do about my daughter's symptoms he said you came for a surgery consult. I gave you that that's all I can offer for you so I'm not really sure where to go from there. I guess to my referring neurologist?
The best doctors
Dr. Shah is amazing, he greets us with a warm welcome and provides information in a clear concise manner. We really grateful and appreciate all he has done for our son. We would highly recommend him to any and everyone for their child's surgical procedure. He really deserves an award for patient interaction, family consultation, procedural success and overall Doctor of the year!
Excellent professionals!
Satisfied
Dr. Shah lacks bedside manner and made me feel pressured [...] I wouldn't recommend Dr. Shah to anyone.
I was extremely impressed by the care my daughter received. I am happy with her whole team. I left feeling confident that her team will make sure she has all the best medical options at her disposal.
I'm very happy with all the care provided by all the staff and the doctor. Thank you very much for all your work and help with the well-being of the patients.
I always have a great visit with Dr. Shah.
