I was extremely impressed with Dr. Shah. To be honest, I wasn't sure if I wanted the surgery. And Dr. Shah was very thorough in explaining to me the process, the functionality of my gallbladder, what happens when it gets removed, the expectation of the outpatient surgery. We discussed my personal medical history with certain autoimmune diseases, and he seemed very familiar with my case before we met with me, which also made me comfortable and very soft-spoken, very patient, took the time to answer my questions. And for those reasons, I am very comfortable and looking actually forward to having my gallbladder removed by Dr. Shah. So I thank you and appreciate everything that you've done.
Thank you very much
Everyone has been professional and very attentive to my concerns and needs. I know why they come so highly recommended. Dr. Shah is very kind and knowledgeable.
[...] But Dr. Shaw is one of the best doctors I ever had experience with and I love him to be my doctor forever. Thank you. Have a blessed evening.
The doctor and office staff were very friendly and helpful in every way. I would definitely recommend this doctor and staff to family and friends.
This was an exceptional visit with Dr Shah as I decide and prepare for surgery with a stressful condition. I am very pleased.

Everyone at Dr. Shah's office is wonderful. They have a great front office. They have great nurses. Dr. Shah is awesome, great, bedside manner. I mean, what every patient hopes for in a doctor, Dr. Shah is. Would definitely trust him with my life and my healthcare and will recommend him and have recommended him.
Extremely nice and helpful.
The doctor gave me all the information I needed even though I did my research he still confirmed on things that I knew about my procedure. He was very helpful.
I really appreciate Dr. Shah's dedication and professionalism. I especially appreciate his willingness to find options to avoid surgery for me since surgery would carry a high risk. Dr. Shah really "goes the extra mile" to provide the best care possible!
Dr Shah is the most caring and compassionate doctor I have. Live his staff as well.
Great...
Doctor Shah gave precise details about the needed surgery. I trust him as he has done my surgery in the past.
Dr Shah was very attentive and took his time with me to talk and listen. He did not rush me at all and that is always appreciated!
Dr should snd his staff are so courteous and helpful
Very professional
Very personable doctor felt very comfortable and confident with his assessment
I was very pleased with my visit. I was taken in to see Dr Shah when I arrived. He spoke with me about my condition and what I should do about it. I understood what my next step needed to be. I also felt very comfortable with the students working with him and the staff at the front desk.
The front desk didn't inform me of the wait time, and they were behind. Once the back office nurse brought me to the room she did apologize and gave me a good estimate of any additional wait time. The doctor apologized too. I'm not complaining though just trying to help improve your services. The Sienna office does the best job at keeping up with who is in the waiting room and how long the wait is.
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Shah and his staff. Feel like family with tx. recieve from
I thank the surgeon and staff very professional like have a blessed New years
By the time you leave Dr. Shah's office you know exactly what to expect. He is very thorough.
