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.

Great life thanks to Dr. Shah.
Performed my heart transplant in 2021. I was 71 at the time and had been in heart failure for years and was nearing the end. Dr. Shah was perfect in his handling of the transplant and the immediate aftercare. Although I was unconscious for days after the procedure he kept my wife and family calm and informed through my initial recovery. I'd recommend him to anyone considering a major heart procedure. He's really very, very good.

Excellent Cardiac Surgeon
Dr Shah saved my life in 2016! No one in Huntsville could perform the surgery I needed. He explained all the options to my family in a very caring way! I continue to have an excellent recovery! I highly recommend Dr Shah.

Amazing experience
Dr. Shah performed a repair for my anomalous coronary artery that no one in Knoxville would attempt. He made the process feel comforting for someone who was young and not expecting to have to do this. I traveled to Vanderbilt at the advice of my local cardiologists and can't express how great a decision that was. Dr. Shah and the entire nursing staff and NPs at Vanderbilt were absolutely amazing.

Dr. Shaw repaired my ascending aortic aneurysm and did an amazing job. Before surgery I could tell that he was the man for the job. His confidence gave me the confidence I needed for surgery. Thanks Dr. Shah!

Excellent bedside manner. Very skilled. I required bloodless CABG due to religious reasons. This was not a problem. (I had been turned away from another hospital because they were not equipped to perform my surgery.) I was very confident of the entire staff. Excellent outcome.
