Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very thorough and kind.
Not rushed Seemed genuinely interested in being of assistance.

Dr. Shah and his assistant April were very kind and caring in my treatment for B/C. I was his patient for 3 years and he listened and helped treat me with my medical issues. I couldn't take the shots that would have helped with my bone loss and he worked with me on an alternative plan. I highly recommend Dr. Shah to treat you or a loved one. As we know not everything works for everyone do your due dilligence and talk about what would work for You.

I first saw dr shah in florida hosp in 2016. I did not ask for him. I informed him that there was a problem with my insurance and he said he would take care of it. he sent a bi[[ to me for over $450. I recently was sent to him for clearance for hip surgery. after having 11 viles of blood drawn he said he would grant clearance. at no time was further medical clearance discussed. his recommendation stated that I have another dr give clearance for a different problem. no surgery because of him.

Dr Shah refuses to see my mother who was referred to him for Hematology care bc she refused his Cancer treatment for a second opinion and better care. He nor his office have returned my calls and have stated that referral was not received in office even though i personnaly hand carried it over but front desk personnel stated it had to be faxed. I know for a fact the referral was faxed twice with no feedback from him. All ppl and patients are entitled to second opinions and better treatment.
