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.

Such an amazing and caring physician. Thank you!
He listened to my issues, and he took the time to really help me understanding what has been happening with my hearing.

Good Experience
It was so quick! He saw me, diagnosed me in what felt like 5 minutes, and then scheduled me for surgery all at the same time. He does not waste your time making you come back for 10 visits before doing something. Dr Shah gets the job done!

Cured!
Dr. Shah, treated me for a sinus infection that was a lasting present after my first and only Covid episode. This infection lasted for months so I finally took the advice of a friend and went to see Dr. Shah. He prescribed a series of prescriptions that has me breathing out of my nose again. I can't thank him enough!

I Never Saw him before OR after operation!
I had a severe sinus infection and Dr Shah was recommended. I never saw him at all...only nurse practitioners. Even after the sinus procedure he performed! There was a list of at least five things that would be performed during the operation. What he did, I still do not know. I had to eventually go to a another ENT who is excellent. I actually see the doctor on every visit to this practice....imagine that!

The staff is courteous and Dr. Shah is very attentive and gentle - especially with children as I brought my son in for several different reasons on numerous occasions

I took time off from work to see this specialist I was referred to, but I was seen by an assistant instead. The doctor I was referred to never came to see me. Of course I was charged as if I had seen the specialist. Dishonest to say the least.

This is not a review of Dr.Shah, I don’t know him. The reason I’m writing here is that one of the reviewers wrote about not being able to breathe lying down. I’m very familiar with this problem having had it for years. Recently I came across a remedy that could help people who have this condition. Heat is very helpful for me. You can achieve it by taking a hot shower and standing for a while with your head under the water that is as hot as you can stand it. Another way is steam inhalation. Pour boiling water in a bowl and sit with your head over it and a towel over your head to block the heat in. I also use breathe right stips if I feel that I’m more congested than usual. Another thing that I find helpful is water pik to spray warm water inside your nose. This combination gives me very good sleep.

Pissed off mom – Dec 12, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shah?
I made an appointment to see Dr. Shah for a few reasons: One, I haven't been able to breathe through my nose when I lay down, without the help of Breathe Rite strips, for years...Two, I feel like I'm going to blackout every time I recline quickly and three, my left ear had become clogged. While getting shuffled through the assembly line, the first person I saw was good. She removed a wax build-up. From there EVERYTHING downhill. Next up the audiologist...I DO NOT appreciate being talked to like I'm four-years-old. Absolutely unacceptable. Next up, I'm assuming a PA... ALSO talked to me like I was 4. Asked about my breathing issues. She scoped my nose and then prescribed a nose spray even though I explained my allergist and I had tried them all and settled on Allegra D for my allergies. I still can't breathe when I lay down without those nose strips. Oh... and thank you very much for taking my $50 copay even tho I NEVER SAW THE DOCTOR. Canceled my "follow-up" and wasn't even asked why.

Clearly random in his assessments; saunters in for a few minutes and pronounces something new each time I've seen him. Outrageous fees. Assembly line process to collect beyond my co-pay of $60. Each time he dropped a scope to look and considers it outside my co-pay and charges hundreds of dollars for a 1 minute effort. I am done seeing him; i will seek another ENT.

I'd like to give a zero. He charge my insurance for fixing a deviated septum that he didn't fix. I had two other ENTs confirm this.

Run from these guys - they charge outrages fees and give no hint that your insurance will not cover their costs. My insurance is excellent.
