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.

Amazing Dr.Shah explained the condition in detail and we discussed where we went from here. Listened attentively to my questions and and answered them thoroughly. Amazing doctor!!

Dr. Shah was called in to hospital to do a stress test. I saw him about two minutes and he left. I waited in my hospital room for the results from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm with no results. So I left. Since I wasn’t his “patient” I guess I didn’t matter.

I am extremely fortunate that I found Dr Shah for my father eleven years age and now he is my Cardiologist. He is a wonderful physician, caring, very attentive to patients and always accessible. Can't say enough on his behalf, exceptional physician. Would recommend and have to many friends.

Dr. Shah was always nice and thorough, made me feel at ease. After having several bad times when th stress tests at other places, I dreaded having one there. He did the test himself and It was over before I even knew it had started. It was great!

My mother went to him today and he didn't even examine her. Even her telling him that she had shortness of breath and her feet swollen . She sent her home saying that he will check her in a week for a clot. That she was probably depressed. My mom was admitted to the hospital Houston northwest with her lungs full of fluids because of her heart. Please take this guy out of the medicine field.

Dr. Shah was assigned to my husband in 2012 when he was admitted to St Lukes Vintage. We immediately felt Dr Shah truly cared about my husband and the situation. He assured us with his knowledge and excellent bedside manner. He spent all the time we needed with us, we never felt rushed. He became my husbands physician permanently after this ...Unfortunately my husband's health declined, but Dr Shah was with us every step of the way. And ultimately we were transferred to Mem Hermann Med Center
