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.

Heeral Shah, M.D. recently performed a cataract extraction with IOL implant and a trabeculectomy on my right eye. Dr. Shah explained the procedure very well. I had absolutely no pain before, during or afterward. The desired 20/20 vision was achieved and my eye pressure is within normal limits. The surgery was quick and stress-free . The staff at the 32nd Street Surgery Center is very pleasant, as well. Great experience!

I would recommend Dr. Shah to anyone needing an opthomologist. She is fabulous. Not only is she brilliant and knows how to diagnose good, but she genuinely cares about all her patients. The problems I'd been having weren't even her specialty, yet she knew what to do and how to fix it. Dr. Shah and her staff are such an asset to the Joplin medical community.

Wonderful physician, wonderful staff. Dr. Shah diagnosed cataract problems I was unaware of. Surgeries went very well with her excellent OR staff. So congenial and efficient. I wear hearing aids but still don't hear well and often important information inadvertently gets past me. My initial complaint to Dr. Shah was a problem with my right eye. That remains unresolved. I assumed she would do retinal pucker surgery. As a 24/7 caregiver for my Alzheimer sick wife, K. C. Clinic is not an option.
